Thorough, patient and knowledgable.

Ms. McConnaughhay took care of my uncle's estate and trust planning in a timely and thorough fashion. She was very patient - there was a language barrier-- in listening to his needs. She also gave him honest advice and explained everything to not only him, but also to his selected family members upon... his request. She took everyone's questions, but continued to protect his interests. Her staff is very helpful and discrete. I will continue to recommend her to anyone who has probate, wills, estate, trust or guardianship issues.

Highly recommend!!

Jana completed my will several years ago. After a divorce she updated my will and gave me very sound advice and direction. I have complete confidence that she works with MY best interests in mind. Her work is professional, timely and thorough.

Jana - Thank you for your help!

Jana completed our estate planning in a very professional and expedient manner. She is well versed in all aspects in estate planning and especially elder law. Jana is compassionate, patient, knowledgeable and thorough. I found her price structure to be reasonable. My experience was so pos...itive, I have recommended several folks to Jana. She has also completed my parents estate planning. If you get the opportunity to work with Jana and her team, you will find her expertise and customer service to be excellent. I highly recommend her services.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
