"Jan is an excellent attorney. He cares about his clients and is very diligent in making sure you receive a positive outcome."
"I have known Jan for close to 20 years. He supervised me as an intern in the Guilford County District Attorney's office while I was still in law school. I learned a lot from him in a short period of time. I think the most valuable lesson was watching how to respectfully treat your apposing counsel while still zealously doing your job. In the years that I have been in private practice, I have referred everything that I could to Jan. He does a fantastic job and gets good results. I highly recommend him for any criminal matter."
"Jan Pritchett is easily one of the nicest human beings I have ever had the privilege to be around. He is also an incredibly talented lawyer. As a fantastic lawyer and a model citizen, he is an asset to Guilford County's legal community."
