Jennifer Cannon-Unione is a founding partner of the law firm Dixon & Cannon, Ltd. with nearly 30 years of successful litigation experience representing clients in both civil and criminal cases throughout Washington State.

Here’s what some Jennifer’s clients have said about her personal and legal skills:

“…A great lawyer and a wonderful human being…”

“…tough as nails. Yet one of the kindest hearts around…”

 “…I cannot find words to express my gratitude to her….”

 “…I will always be grateful to Jenny.”

 “…Do yourself a favor and get in touch with Jennifer…”

Jennifer's dedication to excellence has earned recognition from both her peers and the legal community. She has been selected as a Super Lawyer for many years and, in 2026, was honored to be named to the Super Lawyers Top 100 Attorneys and Top 50 Women lists. She also holds Martindale-Hubbell's AV Preeminent Peer Review Rating—the organization's highest distinction, awarded to fewer than eight percent of attorneys nationwide—and has received AVVO's highest attorney rating of 10.0 "Superb."

Jennifer's legal career began as a public defender in Seattle, where she quickly developed the courtroom skills and confidence to try cases ranging from misdemeanors to serious Class A felonies. She later became a senior trial attorney representing insurance companies, giving her invaluable insight into how insurers evaluate, defend, and resolve claims. For the past twenty years, she has used that experience on behalf of injured people. Today, Jennifer is passionate about helping her clients navigate through difficult times and protecting their future.

Jennifer is also committed to strengthening the legal profession and her community. She is proud to be one of the coaches for Ballard High School’s mock trial team, helping students develop confidence, public speaking skills, and a love for advocacy. She serves on the Washington Women Lawyers Judicial Evaluation Committee, helping evaluate candidates seeking judicial office throughout Washington State. She is also an active member of the Seattle chapter of the Mother Attorneys Mentoring Association (MAMAS), where she enjoys supporting and encouraging fellow women attorneys.

Jennifer treasures her family. She and her husband are raising three incredible children. Much of their family life revolves around their extracurricular activities – especially club soccer. You'll often find Jennifer at soccer practices or cheering from the sidelines at tournaments, celebrating hard work, teamwork, and perseverance—the same values that define her legal career. Motherhood has brought a depth and richness to her life that enhances the way she cares for her clients and fiercely advocates for them.
