Personal
When not at work, Mary Beth and her husband, JD, are busily raising their twins (age 14), Gabbi and Landon, who are active seventh graders. And, as most Jenner Law dog-loving employees, Mary Beth’s third “child” is a Boxer/Chihuahua mix named Cano who is a rescue from Georgia.
And if that’s not enough, Mary Beth is the former basketball coach for her son’s boys’ basketball team.
That athletic instinct comes naturally because – and we’re not making this up – Mary Beth was a professional women’s duckpin bowler from 1992 to 2000 in the WNDA.
Mary Beth was born and raised in Baltimore and there aren’t many places in Maryland she isn’t familiar with when asked. Mary Beth has an associate degree in Paralegal Studies and thereafter graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration.
