I am business lawyer for contracts, disputes and litigation. I have supervised audits and imposed financial controls for businesses and non-profit entities. My financial acumen makes me a good lawyer for business owners who suspect fraud, and has resulted in my appointment to Receiver in the 11th Judicial Circuit of Florida.

I went to law school with Jane. She is one of the best oral advocates that I witnessed in law school, and I know that has carried over into her practice. While I no longer work in Miami, I know that she is one of the best young lawyers in the area. I hope to work with her in the future.
Jose Rodriguez, Litigation Attorney on Aug 12, 2013

Jane Muir is a talented attorney and business woman. She guided me in the incorporation of my law firm. She explained the different options available in managing my practice and advised on how to attract and keep clients satisfied. I am happy to endorse Ms. Muir!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I've had the pleasure of working with Jane on the UM Law Alumni Young Alumni Committee. The organization has flourished since Jane assumed a leadership role. She bring energy, intelligence and creativity to the table in everything she does. Any client should consider themselves lucky if their attorney is Jane Muir.

Jefferson Knight, Litigation Attorney on Jul 20, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. June Muir is the most dynamic and charismatic young lawyer in Miami. She knows everyone and, far more importantly, she has earned the respect and admiration of Miami's legal community in a short period of time. She is universally known as a person who gets things done. She is organized and methodical. If that makes her sound dull; au contraire. Her cheerfulness and enthusiasm are infectious. Her adversaries simultaneously respect and fear her. I would not want to be her opponent in any jury or bench trial because it's difficult to imagine her losing.
William Vanderwyden, Litigation Attorney on Jun 13, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I have known Jane Muir for a number of years. She is a task and goal oriented individual who will handle matters in a professional manner. She is attentive to her clients and will work with colleagues to bring matters to a proper conclusion. She is well connected in this community and has earned the respect of her peers.
Paula Phillips, General practice Attorney on Jun 13, 2011
Relationship: Supervised lawyer
Please allow this to serve as my endorsement of Ms. Muir as an outstanding lawyer in the area of general practice, to include both contract litigation and personal injury law. She is energetic, focused and determined, and has a great support system from the legal community, which is invaluable. I can and have recommended Jane Muir as an attorney on many occasions, and will continue to do so in the future. Paula J. Phillips, Esq.
John Kozyak, Litigation Attorney on Jun 11, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Jane Muir is one of the best young lawyers in South Florida. Her Mother is a respected Judge and her Father is an experienced lawyer, but their daughter does not stand in anyone's shadow. My firm and I have referred matters to Jane and have always been pleased. Jane has the determination and work ethic to win and she usually does. I enjoy watching older opponents underestimate her because of her youth and smile and then get out hustled and lose. Jane is a winner and I have no hesitation recommending her.
Steven Schlackman, Litigation Attorney on Jun 10, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Jane is an excellent trial lawyer. She has a sense of care and respect that allows people to easily trust her. Jane is meticulous in her preparation and extremely knowledgeable about he law for the cases in which she is involved. But most importantly, she is a pleasure to work with; a sentiment felt by other lawyers in the community as well as her clients.
