I am nominating Jennifer because she is one of the most outstanding citizens in Fort Bend County that I have had the pleasure of meeting. I have known Jennifer for more than a Jennifer Chang decade, and she has never ceased to impress me with her drive, intelligence, and determination to be the best. Jennifer joined our firm in May 2012 and has been a key player in the growth of Mitchell and Duff, where she has taken a leadership role in hiring, and mentoring young attorneys and law clerks. As a senior associate, Jennifer plays a significant role in Mitchell and Duff’s business litigation and transactional practice. A graduate of Clements High School, she has a JD from the University of Houston Law Center and an MBA from the University of St. Thomas. Jennifer has an impressive background with experience in varied industries including oil and gas, non-profit management, and real estate. Further, she has worked at major institutions such as the Texas First Court of Appeals, the Texas Railroad Commission and Union Pacific Railroad. However, Jennifer takes on much more than just practicing law. She is also passionately committed to bringing her considerable organizational know-how and experience to a number of volunteer positions, from being the Secretary of the Fort Bend Republican Party to being a founding member of the Fort Bend Young Lawyers Association, volunteering for the GT Mentorship program at Fort Bend ISD, and served as the only female commissioner on the City of Sugar Land Charter Commission. Mitchell and Duff, Sugar Land, and Fort Bend County is lucky to have such a great rising star!
