Jan E. Pritchett's Lawyer Endorsements
"I’ve been around the courthouse and have observed Jan in multiple trials and interactions with court personnel, clients, and judges. He is prepared, professional, and genuinely cares about his clients. I would confidently recommend him."
"I had many cases with Jan as opposing counsel for the 15 years I was a prosecutor. He was always, professional, ethical, & did excellent work for his clients. Seven years ago, I joined the defense bar & am happy to call Jan a colleague now. He does so much for our local bar & is a wonderful lawyer. And he’s definitely on my short list of who I would call if I were ever in trouble."
"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."
"Mr. Pritchett is a gifted and hard working attorney."
"I endorse Jan. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
