Originally raised in Virginia, Jennifer moved to North Carolina in 1989 to start her college career at Campbell University.    Before starting college, Jennifer spent a year in Spain as an exchange student, which drastically changed her view on the world.  She came back more independent and more determined.  She put herself through undergrad and law school.  After law school, she went to work for Allstate Insurance Company as a bodily injury adjuster.  Working for an insurance company, gave Jennifer a wealth of knowledge on how the insurance company really works.  Then in 1998, Jennifer went to work for the injured plaintiff’s instead of the insurance companies.  She has found it rewarding and feels she is really helping the individuals now.  Jennifer is married to a United Methodist minister, Adam Seate.  They live in Fayetteville with their two children, Jacob and Aaron.  They also have a dog, Riley, two cats, Tiger and Lilly and a tank full of fish.   With two boys she spends a lot of time at the soccer fields and baseball fields.
