Jenna DeBarry
Jenna DeBarry is licensed in Missouri and Illinois, and represents clients in a range of civil cases: including car accidents, premises liability and workers’ compensation. Jenna developed a passion for helping others while working as a clerk at Padberg Appelbaum Knepper (PAK) during law school. She is recognized for her work ethic and keen understanding of the law, and is one of just two clerks hired by PAK immediately after earning her law degree.
In addition to her legal practice, Jenna is an active member in the Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis (BAMSL), the Lawyers Association of St. Louis, the Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys (MATA), and the Women Lawyers’ Association (WLA). Jenna was elected to serve as a Member-At-Large on the 2025-2026 Board of Directors for the WLA, where she fosters a supportive network for women in law. Jenna was a sorority member at Missouri State University while completing her undergraduate degree, and credits her experience on the sorority’s Standards Board with cultivating her leadership skills, and her ability to navigate challenging situations.
Jenna grew up visiting the area lakes with her family, and enjoys boating and spending time on the water. She has also provided a foster home for a local animal shelter, including her two rescue dogs, Peanut and Butter.
