As a member of the firm’s Employment Litigation team, Jenna Nakkash helps clients who have been subjected to various types of discrimination, whistleblower retaliation, and wrongful discharge.

I chose employment law because it’s an area that navigates the complex relationships between people and the workplace.

It is a truly versatile field, and just like the workplace, the law is constantly changing.

As a member of the firm’s Employment Litigation team, Jenna helps clients who have been subjected to various types of discrimination, whistleblower retaliation, and wrongful discharge.

Jenna received a bachelor’s degree, with honors, from Madonna University. She went on to earn her Juris Doctor from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law, where she repeated her academic success and continued to augment her classroom studies with real-world experience. She clerked for a busy criminal defense and immigration practice at the end of her first year, then clerked for Sommers Schwartz until she graduated. 

After passing the bar exam, Jenna was admitted in Michigan and rejoined the firm as an associate attorney.

Testimonials

I worked with Tad Roumayah, Jenna Sheena, and Nathan Robbins. These three were absolutely exceptional in working with me and my case. They went above and beyond during this entire process to make sure I was supported and understood what was going on every step of the way. We were successful in our case and I will be forever grateful for this remarkable team.

Tad Roumayah and Jenna Sheena were an absolute pleasure to work with in my case. They answered any questions that I had in a timely manner. I would highly recommend them when a matter has to do with job issues.
