Meet Our Staff

Jenna Thiele

I graduated in 2013 from Northern Kentucky University, with a Bachelor degree in Fine Arts and Marketing. I have had various creative jobs in the past, but in time, realized I was ready for a career change. I started working at Pillar Law Group, as a receptionist and legal assistant in November 2019, and I am currently taking the lead on marketing and social media. I can’t wait to continue growing with this team.
In my free time, I still enjoy photography as a hobby. My husband and I also love hiking, camping, and just spending time outdoors with our three rescue dogs/ fur-children.

Michelle Schmitt

I joined Attorney Douglas Garner’s team, in 2008, as the Disability Claims Advocate, assisting individuals in obtaining Social Security Disability benefits. Prior to joining Mr. Garner’s team, an extensive portion of my working career, has been as a Social Worker and Life Coach, serving individuals with various disabilities. I have lived in the Tri-State most of my life and after my husband and I raised our 5 children we now enjoy traveling, camping and hiking together. I am also an enthusiastic cook and enjoys spending time with friends and family.

Lynn Walsh

I graduated in 2020 from Ivy Tech with an AAS in Business & Administration. I am currently working toward my Bachelor degree in Business & Administration through a cohort program at Indiana University-East and will obtain my degree in December of 2021. I started working at Pillar Law Group in November of 2020 as a receptionist and legal assistant. I have never worked in an office setting prior to working at Pillar Law Group, so to become a part of this amazing team has been very exciting and I can’t wait to see what the future holds working with each individual.

I enjoy spending majority of my time with my son. We enjoy spending our time with outside activities like visiting our local park, walking our dog, and when the weather is nice and warm, we like to spend time at my family’s pool.
