Stellar work

I've worked with Jane many, many times on real estate transactions and she has always been professional and efficient. I highly recommend her for anyone doing real estate closings.

Lemon law lawyer | Oct 02

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"With over a decade of experience, coming from a great law school and running her own law firm, one look at her web site and you will see that Attorney Sobleski knows the law and likes to make sure her clients know it too. She can handle other areas of Consumer Law too. If you have a Consumer Law question, she is your answer. If her office is anywhere near you, call her about your lemon vehicle or any question about the law. I recommend her to you - not because she is from my home state (but she is) - but I recommend her because she cares, she is smart, and she is good. And if you are a consumer and you need help, she's exactly the kind of lawyer you want."

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2016.

Suspension with Part Stayed issued in NC, 2016

updated on 11/29/2017

Partially stayed suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. Some portion of the discipline will be placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with certain requirements.

Jane’s comment:

“My North Carolina law license was temporarily suspended for failure to properly reconcile my law firm trust account and other irregularities. Under mutually agreeable terms, I surrendered my law license in August 2016 and was reinstated in May 2017. Infractions against the Rules of Professional Conduct are serious, even when administrative and not impacting clients, as mine was. I am no longer tasked with financial management of any kind.”
