About Jana
Biography
Hi. I have been practicing law for 29 years in North Alabama. I have experience in many different areas of the law including insurance, banking, civil litigation, domestic relations, probate law, real estate, and commercial transactions, In 2015, I added Elder Law to my practice so that I can help families plan for the often devestating financial impact of long-term care. I love working with families and helping them reach their lifelong goals of passing along the majority of their assets to the next generation.
I recently completed a Master of Law in Taxation so that I can confidently advise clients, including families, on the tax issues that may be involved in their planning.
I am a proud mother of three children ages Leah (20), Riley (23), and Whitney (25).
I love North Alabama. It is rich in natural beauty, including many large lakes and rivers. We have a beautiiful small town with lots of charm.
