About Jennifer

Jennifer Bergert trained in northeast Ohio. She earned a Bachelor of Arts from Kent State University in 1993 and completed her law degree at the University of Akron School of Law in 1997. Those early years set the tone for a practice grounded in local courts and community institutions.

Her professional memberships date back to 2001. Since then she has maintained ties to both the Stark County Bar Association and the Ohio State Bar Association. Those long-standing connections reflect steady involvement in the region’s legal community rather than a series of brief affiliations.

In 2017 she took on a visible court role as director of the Court Angel Volunteer Program at the Stark County Probate Court. The position placed her inside the workings of probate court operations and the volunteer efforts that support vulnerable court participants. Colleagues describe the post as one that required regular contact with court staff, volunteers and family members who interact with the probate system.

Her association memberships also include the Ohio Guardianship Association, which lists her as a member beginning in 2018 and continuing to the present. That affiliation aligns with her probate court work and suggests ongoing engagement with issues that affect guardianship and elder law practices in Ohio.

Bergert’s career path shows sustained local engagement rather than national headlines. She has worked primarily within Ohio’s legal framework, building relationships across county and state bar organizations. Her professional footprint is that of an attorney who knows the local court calendar, the people who staff it and the civic organizations that intersect with legal processes.

Her office is listed at 116 Cleveland Ave NW. From that base she maintains practice ties to the Stark County legal scene and to bar organizations that have been part of her professional life for more than two decades.

Today she continues to practice in Ohio and remains active in probate-related programming and guardianship networks. Her current practice focuses on probate and guardianship matters and on supporting court volunteer initiatives.
