Please join us in welcoming two new attorneys to James, McElroy & Diehl!

Jennifer (“Jenny”) Barhorst has joined JMD’s civil litigation team. Originally from Kentucky, Jenny began her legal career as a prosecutor in Dayton, Ohio, where she participated in numerous felony jury trials and developed extensive courtroom experience. Jenny earned her B.A. in Spanish from Centre College and her J.D. from the University of Kentucky J. David Rosenberg College of Law.

Madison Gilbert focuses her practice on family law, including divorce, child custody, child support, spousal support, equitable distribution, and domestic violence. A graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill and Elon University School of Law, Madison brings a strong background in trial advocacy and appellate work to JMD’s family law practice, including experience with the North Carolina Court of Appeals, North Carolina Supreme Court, and Pattern Jury Instruction Committee.

We’re excited to have Jenny and Madison as part of the JMD team and look forward to all they will contribute to our clients and our firm. Welcome to JMD, Jenny and Madison!

JMD staff members, families, and friends recently spent a Saturday morning volunteering with local nonprofit Nourish Up.

Nourish Up supports our neighbors in need through grocery home delivery and healthy meals delivered through Meals on Wheels. With the largest network of food pantries in North Carolina, Nourish Up plays an important role in fighting hunger and strengthening our local communities.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to give back alongside our JMD family and support an organization doing such meaningful work right here in our community. Thank you, Nourish Up, for all you do!
