She is awesome

Janis is an outstanding attorney who genuinely cares about her clients. My husband has been through about 4 other lawyers who did not do half of what Janis has done. Janis calls and visits my husband and I thank God for leading me to her. She is going to keep it honest with you and she is a fighter. ...When my husband have any issues Janis is on the case and will make some phone calls and his issue is resolved immediately. I sleep peacefully knowing my husband has an awesome attorney fighting for him. I highly recommend her trust me you will not regret it.....

She is the best!!!!!

Janis Mann - what can I say - she is the BEST!!!! When I first met Janis almost a year ago I didn't know what to expect. I didn't have a lot of trust in attorneys so meeting a new one was very stressful. Janis made me feel more than comfortable. She made me feel like a human being. Janis asked m...e a lot of questions and she listened to every word I said. She was very thorough. She even gave me a list of "homework items" to better help her get to know me and my case. Janis cares about her clients. She will go above and beyond to help her clients get the justice they deserve. She is a fighter!!! Janis was also very nice to my family. When they had questions she was there to answer them. I highly recommend her to anybody that needs an attorney.

One of the BEST!!

I first came into contact with Janis in 2015, when deep into Heroin Addiction and after getting arrested on a felony shoplifting case the Court appointed Attorney Mann to me. I have over 20 felony convictions and have over 30 years of incarceration behind me due to Drug Addiction. I've had alot of At...torneys, and I can honestly say ; Janis Mann is by far the best attorney I have ever had. She seen me as a friend and recognized my Drug Addiction, and instead of letting the "system" throw me back in Prison, as they always did, she got me into a Drug Program. I am alive, Drug free and FREE today because of her. If she did that for me, imagine what she WILL DO FOR YOU! She is very passionate when it comes to fighting for her Clients. AND she will not stop until she gets what she wants. She is the absolute BEST I know. I recommend her to ANYONE!

Very Impressive Attorney

Janis hands down, is the BEST attorney I have ever dealt with. She is honest, knowledgeable and extremely experienced. She is a fighter and will not stop until the case can be settled reasonably. She will be permanently saved in my contacts and will call if I ever need an attorney in the future! I re...commend her to any person who needs a caring and honest lawyer.

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.
