Jenevieve R. Haggard

Jenevieve Haggard is an attorney and computer engineer who has spent her legal career in the legal services community, as both a litigator and a legal technology engineer, and who is convinced the two jobs are the same job. As a legal aid attorney, she has represented clients in domestic violence, family law, and consumer credit matters and worked with the Florida Access to Justice Commission on statewide efforts to close the justice gap. As a co-founder of TrueSavvy (formerly SavvySuit), she builds for the programs she once practiced in: the company serves legal aid organizations across the United States, and her work there spans AI/ML products, business process analysis, telecommunications systems, a pro bono platform that connects volunteer attorneys with clients who would otherwise go unrepresented, and several mechanical patents along the way. Before entering law, she spent more than a decade at the University of Central Florida’s Florida Solar Energy Center as a computer engineer in the renewable energy field, working on projects for DARPA, the U.S. Department of Energy, and Sandia National Laboratories. That training still shapes her approach to legal problems: take it apart and see what’s inside.
