About Jennifer Frey
Jennifer Frey Kreckel earned her law degree from Syracuse University College of Law in 1984 after completing undergraduate studies at Temple University, where she graduated in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree in German literature and business. The early academic choices set a broad foundation, pairing humanities and commerce before she turned to law school in the early 1980s.
Her legal career began with summer internships in the early 1980s, including a placement at the United States Department of Justice Antitrust Division in 1983 and work at a private firm the year before. In 1984 she served as a civilian volunteer attorney with the United States Air Force JAG. By the mid-1980s she also taught law-related courses, holding instructor and adjunct positions at the University of Maryland and Embry-Riddle University in 1986.
The 1990s brought a steady progression through private practice. Kreckel worked as a legal assistant and associate at Northrop, Shelby, Walsh, Radcliff & Schiszik in 1991, then joined Preti, Flaherty, Beliveau & Pacious in 1993. She moved to Skelton, Taintor & Abbott as an associate in 1994. In 1997 she opened a solo practice under her own name, and by 2000 she was a shareholder at Kaynor & Kreckel, P.A. She later took on the role of shareholder manager at Kreckel Law, P.A. beginning in 2013.
Kreckel is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania and Maine. She also holds credentials to appear before the D.C. Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court. Those admissions indicate regular work that spans state and federal venues and includes appellate filings and arguments.
Over several decades she has balanced firm practice, solo representation and teaching. Her background includes early exposure to antitrust matters, service in a military legal office and long experience in private practice. Colleagues and clients have encountered her in trial settings, in appellate filings and in courtroom hearings at multiple levels of the federal system.
She continues to practice through Kreckel Law, P.A., handling matters in state and federal courts, including appearances before federal appellate courts and the U.S. Supreme Court.
