Jennifer Topaz Irvine was not just a great attorney who was my associate for a time as well as our firm’s of counsel attorney, Jennifer was my friend who I loved like a little sister. I remember the first time Jen called me about 5 years ago on a case I had previously worked and I honestly thought she was calling to tell me I was being sued. Luckily for me she just wanted to chat about the case and our friendship and business relationship blossomed from there. Every day I saw Jennifer and she had a smile and energy that would always make you happy. Jennifer was a beautiful spirit who loved life and animals especially her cat Munchkin. She was a black belt in Tai Kwon Do, loved country music and being with her friends. Nothing can describe the hole that is left in our lives with the loss of Jennifer. All that can be said is that we loved her and will miss her dearly.
