Avvo limits these messages to 1000 characters, but it would take a 1000 pages to properly describe how great Jana is. Putting her client's interests first, thoroughly researches and analyzes every detail concerning her cases, infectious and engaging personality, and extremely intelligent. I'm happy to be affilliated with her and highly reccommend her to anyone seeking superior legal representation in a myriad of business law and transactional matters.
