Jenna L. Shader

As an Attorney at BrownWinick specializing in estate planning, I strive to make the process of planning for the future as stress-free as possible. By developing a relationship with you, I can understand your unique goals and create a personalized estate plan that fits your needs. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing that your wishes will be carried out and your loved ones protected. 

My Approach

Growing up with a close family member with Down syndrome, I learned early on that everyone has a unique story. I carry that perspective into my work in estate planning. I understand that conversations about estate planning can be a difficult—or even uncomfortable—but my goal is to be your trusted advisor and problem solver. By taking the time to truly get to know you, I can help craft a personalized plan that reflects your values and protects what matters most to you. 

More About Me

I was born and raised in the Des Moines area. I attended the University of Northern Iowa, where I graduated summa cum laude in 2022 with a degree in Business Administration. Despite coming from a family of loyal Iowa State fans, I became a bit of a traitor by attending the University of Iowa College of Law. I graduated with Distinction in 2025 and was admitted to the Iowa Bar shortly after. 

Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, as well as hunting, fishing, golfing, and just about any outdoor activity you can think of. I’m also the proud manager of my dog’s TikTok and Instagram accounts!
