About Janet
Biography
I represent employees who have been injured on the job. As a former R.N., I understand the issues that injured people have and I lend both legal expertise and compassion to your case.
The Workers' Compensation system is full of traps for the unwary. The employer and insurance company has someone on their side.....do you?
As a legal expert, I provide high quality personal service to my clients.

Great Attorney
Jan is the best. She guided me through the exasperating workers comp experience and made sure my employer did what they were supposed to. She negotiated a fair settlement, and answered every question. I highly recommend her to anyone who is hurt on the job.
