Janie is an outstanding lawyer and advocate!

My son was arrested on a weekend on a mistaken identity, and Janie's first comment was "I've got this." She went to court on Monday morning, had the warrant and extradition recalled that morning, and worked non-stop to have him released in another state - all two days prior to July 4, with everyone ...else headed out of town. At the follow-up court hearing, all was dismissed. Janie was incredibly knowledgeable and prepared, which contributed greatly to the speed of handling the case. There are not enough stars for her.

Amazing attorney!!!

Janie is a truly wonderful attorney. She is smart, strong and will not back down from a challenge. My case was bleak. It seemed inevitable I would be convicted and subsequently go to jail and no longer be able to work in my field. She wasn't going to let that happen. She fought hard for me and saved ...my career! She managed to get all charges dropped and I am forever grateful to her!! K.M.

Derrick Bryant (Client)

I was arrested on November 12th 2015 in Oregon on an outstanding warrant for Probation Violation from Chattanooga, TN. I was extradited back to TN. Janie was able to get my court date set on Dec 4th instead of Jan 12. She was in constant communication with my family. She was able to get all charg...es dismissed and return me to my family. It was money well spent and I would suggest to you, if you find yourself on the wrong side of the law, give Janie Varnell a call.

Avvo Rating

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.
