Jolene spent the first two and half years of her practice at another firm in Sioux Falls where she gained experience negotiating the settlement of large corporate contract disputes, as well as litigating personal injury, worker's compensation, divorce, and child custody claims. Early in 2013 Jolene made the decision to join her father-in-law, Dean, and Jimmy, in the practice of law at Nasser Law Offices.
