I help you get back on track.
My Process
To thoroughly understand your dispute, I investigate its multidisciplinary elements and context, which may include the bold and nuanced behaviour of the other party’s conflict style; your possible legal protections; relationship patterns and dynamics; emotional states; and digital communication efficacy. I probe and listen carefully to your interests and goals. All these elements inform our strategy.
We work in partnership. I care about my clients.
I offer support for nearly every stage and angle of your conflict. If matters are no longer amenable to collaborative resolution, I help you connect with my network of top-quality, high-integrity legal professionals.
I maximize your chance for success by adopting proven strategies that prioritize your interests, while minimizing the risk of defensiveness and escalation.
This comprehensive, custom, nuanced, human-relating process can’t be replaced by today’s AI. AI recommendations are only as good as its inputs. Even if someone without an extensive conflict systems and psychology background knows all the relevant factors, AI outputs most often lack finesse, the most productive, customized tone, and real human understanding.

What Clients Are Saying
“Super knowledgeable and caring, Jenna explained in detail our options and how our [workplace discrimination] case could play out, and calmed us down in a time of frustration and uncertainty. She was always there to answer any questions we had and to help us compose and edit critical, strategic correspondence, and was always very patient. Such a great human being!”

“I am a senior and Jenna Darcie helped me with my personal injury case. I was very confused with the legal process and very much appreciated her help with my case and interfacing with my legal team. She knew all the right things to do. My lawyers said she was terrific and ‘as good as any lawyer I’ve worked with.’ The amount we settled out of court was ten times what I had aimed for or expected.”
— SMM
“Jenna Darcie was a pleasure to deal with, thorough, professional, patient and extremely skilled and knowledgeable. Jenna carefully listened to the history, asked the right questions to make sure I understood the issues and challenges and then worked closely to guide the development of a tight, concise and legally-based response to a very challenging probate matter. I would highly recommend Jenna’s services. Absolutely amazing.”
