Biography

Jordan helps clients navigate complex disputes related to business, intellectual property, and trusts and estates matters. She is skilled at interpreting statutory and regulatory schemes, contracts, and other legal documents. She is also experienced in evaluating pleadings, motions, and briefs, which allows her to work with individuals and businesses in all phases of the litigation process, including pre-trial investigations, preparation of pleadings, discovery, and trial.

Before joining Ward and Smith, Jordan was a law clerk to the Honorable Marilyn J. Horan, U.S. District Judge for the Western District of Pennsylvania. In that role, Jordan gained substantial experience in legal research, analysis, and writing, as well as courtroom management. She also organized and managed the chambers internship program.

Prior to law school, Jordan had a career as a child welfare social worker. She investigated reports of child abuse, neglect, and dependency, which required interviewing children, families, and other community members, working with law enforcement, and preparing cases for court.
