Janet Audrey Lawson’s Reviews

Janet handeled my case recently. She kept me informed and up to date on everything that was happening in my case. She really knows her stuff. Very friendly office staff.

The word "BANKRUPTCY" terrified us. All the calls from creditors and lawyers became so stressful!! I was referred to Janet by a friend and so glad we were. Our first meeting with her was very informative. Every question we had was answered, she explained in detail how bankruptcy works, the different chapters that are available and explained step by step exactly what would happen and when. She provided us with a folder that told us exactly what she needed and what we needed to do for her. Our first appointment took so much stress off our shoulders!!
There were many times we had questions or concerns ( I stress myself out) and while Janet doesn't take phone calls directly, I was able to leave a message or email and her response time was that same day or the day after. We are currently having issues with one of our creditors and janet has been on top of this situation since it arose. She's a no nonsense, get to the point type of person, and I love her for that! She's very pleasant, informative and gets the job done. Her staff is fantastic and helpful !! Just a great experience all around. We will forever be greatfull to Janet and her staff for taking such great care of us, in such a stressful and difficult situation.

this attorney did not show up to bankruptcy court to get bankruptcy dismissed and court date was pushed out for another two months. sale of house is pending a clear title and could have been closed if she had showed up. she is not responsive to inquiries and is rude when approached. dismal of bankruptcy has been sitting in court over 9 months now because she won't satisfy questions judge has.

Very unhappy with the services I received. Horrible attitude towards clients. Very unreliable and did not receive the services I paid for. Made many mistakes.

I found Ms. Lawson to be abrasive, disinterested and lacking of any compassion. I felt like just another file and a very robotic approach to her practice of law. For the same price, I was able to find someone who seemed to actually care for me as a person and my situation. Don't settle.

Janet really knows her stuff! She's a bulldog, and that's the kind of attorney you want with bankruptcy issues! Thank you Janet for everything you've done for me. I really appreciate it.

SHE WAS VERY UNDERSTANDING AND MADE ME FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE. I WILL TELL ANYONE WHO IS GOING THRU THE SAME THING I DID TO GO TO JANET.

She and her Associates are the best in knowledge, thoroughness, and tough in the courtroom when you need it. Extremely Detailed.
Yes, they are dog lovers but dedicated day and night to get the job done. They saved my home and gave me hope. They are top notch.

She gets the job done. At first I was put off by Janet's abrupt attitude and her unwillingness to schedule phone calls, but I suppose if she didn't have these characteristics, she wouldn't be able to get anything done. However, I have found that she replies promptly to e-mails and seems to know the business very well. She has given me great advice, especially regarding scams, and in all my appointments with her she has been attentive and anxious to make sure my questions were answered to my satisfaction. She has never made me feel as if she was in a hurry to get me out of her office. Her staff has also been very friendly and anxious to please. It is a little disconcerting that her office seems cluttered and there are dogs everywhere, but I'm sure if I could take my dog with me to work, I certainly would.

I used Ms Lawson's firm about 6 months ago. My experience with her and her staff was always professional. Appointments were timely, organized and results were executed as instructed.
Ms Lawson worked hard to make sure that my case was handled and that all necessary measures were taken to maximize my situation.

Janet has gone above and beyond with me during my chapter 13. My case should have been dismissed and would have been except for janet giving me the individual attention that she did and spurred me into action.

Jan handled my Chapter 13 case this year. Not only is she and her staff knowledgable and helpful, but they are diligent, trustworthy, punctual, and most of all, organized! Not once was my paper work "lost" or "misplaced" or questions left unanswered.

During your first visit, you receive expert consultation (she provides options and the pros and cons of all of your choices with no legal mumbo jumbo and gets to the point), a check list of items needed, payment due dates, etc. all in a folder package. In the folder you have a card listing the website address for pre and post credit counseling and when to do it, a list of resources in case you need them, and most importantly, professional service where your time is not wasted. There was no drama, no unanswered questions - just due diligence in getting your case filed so you could get on with your life.

During my trustee meeting, there were several lawyers and their clients in the hearing room, too. I saw one lawyer run to his car to grab his case file making the trustee and his client wait. This is how disorganized he was. Unbelievable! With Jan and her staff we were not only prepared and ready, but ahead of the game. All of us who had cases that day were in and out like clock work - all of us who had Janet for a lawyer! Everything needed through the completion of the case was done, filed and ready to go. EVERYTHING! Jan and her team keep you ahead of the game.

Bankruptcy is stressful enough. The last thing you need is drama from your lawyer. With Jan, there's no drama, stress or disorganization. Instead you have a lawyer who tells it like it is and gets the job done. If you're looking for a touchy feely lawyer who beats around the bush and sugar coats your situation, Jan is not for you. Jan takes care of your business so you can move forward. Besides, isn't that what it's all about?

I have had many dealing with attorneys as I have always worked full time in the business world. The name Janet Lawson, Esq. first came across my desk in one of these business dealings. Her dedication to her client and her conscientious effort far exceeded anything I was use to seeing. Ms. Lawson took on unnecessary duties as the situation would have “played itself out” without her assistance, although to the detriment of her client. In my opinion, she is a hard working person who is willing to “go the extra mile”. I was so impressed that I decided to hire her for my personal business although it meant 120 mile round trip drive.

She is one of 3 Attys that took my money and did nothing worthwhile for me. These attys did tell me about what they would or could do and then did not do what they said they would do soooo what do you call that? ... Actually Lawson did nothing,,, at least the other two did SOMETHING but not ALL that I paid them to do or what they promised sooo...

I also noticed they recomend each other and give each other glowing reviews here on the Internet...

I HIGHLY DO NOT recomend this Atty.

I needed some legal advice right away. I've been trying to get ahold of my attorney for an entire week on a BK issue that took place a couple years ago but have not heard back from anyone at the firm. I called Janet Lawson and left a message with the receptionist and she called me back in less than 10mins. I have never dealt with her before and she had no obligation to call me or help me, but she did when my own attorney I paid good money for failed to do so. (Even though, my attorney assured me that they would be available to me even after the BK was well over with but I guess that was just a good sales tool.)

This company is a very unprofessional organization. Be sure to bring a lint roller when you go there, as it looks more like a dog grooming business. My paperwork was lost three times, which was always blamed on me. Yet, based on the office's disarray, you can be the judge. Her answer to e-mail correspondence is via mono-syllabic misspelled text messages. On every visit she came off rude and condescending. She was more interested in texting people on personal matters then listening to my questions.
