Jennifer Louis-Jeune
Jennifer Louis-Jeune joined the Law Offices of James Scott Farrin in 2025 as a personal injury attorney and advocates for individuals facing significant legal challenges. Her diverse legal experience has shaped her ability to navigate challenging cases and complex legal matters. She is driven to be the voice of her clients and strives to protect their dignity and humanity throughout the legal process.
Jennifer grew up as the fifth of six children in a small town in Louisiana. As the first lawyer in her family, she understands the importance of persistence, preparation, and authenticity in the practice of law.
Watching the attorneys in the O.J. Simpson trial captivate the world with their quick thinking and commanding presence sparked Jennifer’s interest in the law as a child. That inspiration led her to law school, where she overcame significant adversity – including the devastation of Hurricane Katrina during her second day of classes – to become the advocate she is today.

Paige is a trial lawyer. She advocates for individuals and families victimized by implicit and explicitly discriminatory systems, police brutality, and predatory corporations.
Paige White’s practice currently focuses on civil rights, police brutality, and wrongful death cases. Paige began her career in public service, working as a public defender at the Neighborhood Defender Services of Harlem in New York City where she handled hundreds of charges from felony narcotics to violent crimes. She later joined the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia, defending adults and juveniles on serious felony cases including violent sexual assault and homicide. While working for the Public Defender, she successfully argued a series of writs of habeas corpus over the conditions at the D.C. Central Detention Facility, which subsequently lead to a number of individuals being released.
Paige was named the “2022 Young Lawyer of the Year” by The Bar Association of the District of Columbia. She is the current President of the Young Lawyer’s Division of The Bar Association of the District of Columbia, and is a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated, Trial Lawyers for the District of Columbia, and the National Bar Association. She earned her J.D. from the University of Florida’s Frederic C. Levin College of Law, where she was the only woman that year to be included in the UF Trial team’s “Final Four.” During law school, she interned for Congresswoman Frederica Wilson, for whom she created a national campaign to support the kidnapped Nigerian schoolgirls. Paige holds a Bachelor’s degree from Temple University in political science and sociology with a Spanish minor.
Paige is also honored to serve as Of Counsel to attorney Ben Crump and his law firm Ben Crump Law PLLC.
