About Jennifer C.
Jennifer C. McManus built her legal foundation at the University of Maryland, College Park, where she completed a Bachelor of Science in 1998. She returned to Maryland for law school and earned her J.D. from the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law in 2011. Those years shaped the practical outlook she brings to her work today.
She began practicing after law school and has worked steadily in the regional legal community. Over time she gained the qualifications to practice in both Maryland and Virginia. That dual-jurisdiction ability allows her to handle matters that cross state lines and to advise clients who operate on both sides of the Potomac.
Her current role is counsel at Frankel Sims Law. In that position she provides legal advice, supports case preparation and participates in client consultations. Colleagues describe her as purposeful and precise in her approach. She tends to break complex issues into manageable parts and explain them in plain terms to clients and opposing counsel alike.
Day-to-day she balances research, drafting and client meetings. She spends time reviewing statutes and case law, preparing pleadings and guiding clients through procedural steps. The work often requires coordinating with other attorneys and specialists. That collaborative aspect is part of the practice she has developed at Frankel Sims Law.
Outside the office she has maintained ties to the Maryland legal community. Her education and years in practice have given her a practical sense of local courts and rules. She draws on that local knowledge when advising clients on procedural strategy and timing.
Her career trajectory reflects steady professional growth rather than headlines. She moved from law school into practice, gained experience across two state bars and took on an in-house counsel role that emphasizes client service and case management. Those experiences feed into how she manages her files and communicates with clients.
As counsel at Frankel Sims Law, she handles matters arising in Maryland and Virginia and provides legal services to a regional clientele. She remains based at Frankel Sims Law and continues to practice in both jurisdictions.
