A native of Arkansas, Jervonne started her journey to becoming a lawyer while at Arkansas State University where she was the team captain of the moot court team before attending the University of Arkansas School of Law. After graduating amongst the top of her class from law school, Jervonne clerked for the Honorable Bobby E. Shepherd of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit and the Honorable Denzil Price Marshall Jr. of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas. Jervonne’s experience at both the district and appellate courts has proved invaluable when it comes to her motion practice, appellate research and writing, oral arguments, and trial strategy with clients.
In 2016, Jervonne had the distinct honor of being asked to serve on an 8th Circuit Court of Appeals panel discussion on the topic of diversity.
