Jennie F. O'Hara has been a valued associate attorney at the Law Offices of James E. Crawford Jr. & Associates LLC. since 2020.

Born and raised in New York, Jennie attended school in Florida and even turned. During law school, she was an Executive Editor for the George Mason Civil Rights Law Journal. She also was the vice president of student volunteers with the Trial Advocacy Association.

Jennie's focus and practice have been on the criminal side, dedicated to fighting for justice on behalf of those who cannot fight for themselves. She is a Florida State University graduate, where she majored in criminology and criminal justice. After that, Jennie went on to gain her J.D. at the George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School.

 Jennie believes that you cannot make a substantive change without first experiencing the reality and practice of criminal law.

Client Reviews

"I am currently being represented by Mrs. A. Biechler and am completely blown away by her professionalism, compassion and client care. She does not procrastinate and is extremely knowledgeable and performance oriented. In addition to all this she is also very personable and caring and shows genuine concern about the client. Wouldn't want to divorce again but if I had to or was asked for a recommendation it would be Mrs. Biechler all the way. Anything less and you're cheating yourself. There aren't enough categories to rate her here. More over, she is a credit to this law office."
