FELONY CHARGE DISMISSED

Janet is God sent. She is relentless, dedicated, and motivated. Rather you have a parking ticket, or a 2nd degree Vehicular Homicide Felony, she is there to fight for you personally. Janet makes you feel like family, and not someone who is at the mercy of the system. She is patient, intelligent, ...and dominates in court. She is quite literally the person you would hire when you need someone there for you in every aspect. Our family as a whole couldn’t have asked for better representation from Janet. She was able to turn the impossible, possible. Putting all the odds that were once against us, in our favor by truly, with sincerity, defending her client. We love Janet, and know you will too after hiring her.

fast and excellent

Janet and her team are very fast in making sure you have all your documentation and information as soon as it is available. This was an amazing experience, the reason i needed her has stupid but she has more then made the whole situation more understandable for me.

Best ever with no attitude.

My Daughter and I were unjustly accused of a crime that was never committed. Janet was the only attorney that would not only listen to what happened but took the case when others did not want to deal with it. She did her magic and got all charges dropped and have the records expunged. I will be forev...er grateful for her and her hardworking staff. The “victim” appreciate’s you too.

Thank you sooooo much!

Thank you for your hard work and professional dedication to get me the deal we needed despite the resistance from the prosecutor and judge. I’m forever grateful for your hard work. You saved my career.

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.
