Amazing Civil Defense Attorney!

Mr Medoff Esq is a great attorney he’s been in the law biz for over 35 years! I prefer attorneys who’ve seen everything the law has to throw at them. This is what makes a great attorney! No time for messing around he tells you what the law is and your in good hands if represented by him! Fast respons...e! & Fast Filings! He guides you as if we are already at trial phase and knows the opponents moves so we are always prepared! Would recommend!

Not willing to fight for you

Jan's "reasonable" price gets you less than nothing. He was well aware of papers he needed to file and let my ex beat him to the punch. Nothing was done on time or correctly. He didn't seem like he knew what the heck he was talking about or how the law worked. I had many incidences where he should ha...ve filed emergency custody and never made me aware of that option. My new attorney had everything done within the first week and is actually fighting my ex for my kids. He did less than the bare minimum and over the past year has hindered my case. Rushed me off the phone, rushed out of the courthouse after a hearing and gave me no guidance as what to do next. Please go elsewhere before you hire this clown.

I got a restraining against my ex who hit me

This lawyer got me a restraining order in 1 day. The judge saw my teeth knocked out and a black eye. I got the restraining order in 24 hours. Thank you for my safety Mr. Medoff.

A good lawyer

He handled my custody and divorce case and got me exactly what I wanted. I found him to be very responsive and explained everything to me.

Good attorney on several issues with my business ventures

I have used Jan on several business ventures. He has kept me informed of gas drilling on my land. I have recommended him to several people since he has knowledge of many law issues. Next he will handle my car accident which happened recently.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
