Highly Recommended

I contacted Ms. Weber about a potential defamation of character and libel suit after discovering a slanderous newspaper article written about me several years ago. Sadly, I had just discovered the article, which has been published on the Internet for the last five years. Due to the Florida statute o...f limitations expiring, I have lost my opportunity to file a formal complaint against the publisher. Ms. Weber was extremely sympathetic to my situation and spent time over the telephone consulting with me, attempting to help me explore other modalities to permanently remove the article from the Internet. Ms. Weber even took the time to text me a resource link. I highly recommend Ms. Weber. Her legal knowledge, mannerism, and professionalism was most impressive. Without looking any further, had the statute of limitations not expired, I would have not hesitated to retain Ms. Weber to assist me with my legal needs in the aforementioned matter.

A Wealth of Legal Knowledge and Emphatic

After looking through listing after listing and review after review, I found Janelle here and called her office number to discuss a matter I was seeking representation for. She picked up the phone almost immediately, listened to what I had to say, asked tactile questions, and offered swift profession...al feedback considering the amount of time that she had. We scheduled a session the next day to speak more formally and she walked me through all of my options outlining pros and cons that shed more light on my situation. Consulting with Janelle put my mind at ease and made me feel that I understood what's the best approach in handling my matter. If I need to, I'll be using her again in the future, that's a certainty.

Consumer protection lawyer | Dec 21

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. I first met Attorney Janelle Weber when she was my opposing counsel in a complicated class action involving novel legal issues in federal court. Even though she was on the other side, I was impressed by the quality of her legal writing and her dedication to her client's cause. Fast forward 10 or more years, and I found myself on the same team as Attorney Weber, as co-counsel, where her legal acumen and professionalism were again excellent. Having worked both against and with Attorney Weber, I know from experience that she is a well prepared, professional, zealous advocate for her clients."
