Janel K Ostrem's Reviews

Client Review: I have never been involved with any legal situations or lawyers until very recently. Not knowing what to expect in my serious time of need I was both scared and confused. However, the one thing that I understood about my needs was that I wanted a lawyer that was very intelligent, and most importantly compassionate. To make certain that I would be working with a lawyer that would be a good fit for me I invited my mom to come to my first meeting with Janel Ostrem. With my mom by my side and tears streaming down my face I revealed my situation to Janel.
Immediately Janel gave me the legal guidance I was looking for and the words of comfort I so desperately needed. Without pushing me she validated my need for legal counsel and helped me see that indeed I needed to stand up for myself. When I left the office my mom and I both looked at each other in agreement, Janel was the lawyer for me. Now, I tell you my story because I feel that there needs to be trust and protection when investing in any help, with any professional. I can say that I received and I am still receiving all of this from Janel. I hope that this can help you in your search for legal counsel. It is very important to work with someone who cares and listens to what you want because in the end you need to be happy and content with your decision.

Client Review: In my case that I have had, she absolutely tanked and lost confidence easily in court after being scolded by the judge for filing papers out of order, she doesn't know what are the correct forms to fill out to obtain information. She only looks pretty on paper, but she is hard on the pocket book. She is in a firm that has more experience than she does in complexed cases. All it takes for her to quit proactively working for you is being scolded in court. She will strike hearings without consent, and she will never follow up on information in court. She has failed to file critical papers, or take the appropriate time needed to examine all of the evidence.


Don't go to her unless you are willing to pay a fortune to have your heart broken...
