About Paul
Biography
Attorney Paul Jancha, Jr. was born and raised in Berrien County, Michigan. He graduated from St. Joseph Public High School in 2002. Paul then attended the University of Notre Dame, graduating in 2006 with a degree in Political Science and a minor in Theology. He next pursued a law degree from Michigan State University College of Law in East Lansing, Michigan concentrating in the areas of criminal defense and family law, and graduating cum laude in 2009. After obtaining his license to practice law in the State of Michigan, Paul joined his father’s firm in St. Joseph, Michigan, specializing in criminal defense, and added his recent education in Michigan’s ever changing laws to the firm’s combined more than 70 years of trial experience.
Paul has amassed extensive criminal trial experience, with more than 50 jury trials at the misdemeanor and felony level in his relatively brief career. A few of Paul's favorite and notable victories include a not guilty verdict obtained for a client in a two count capital criminal sexual conduct trial in Cass County in the summer of 2014, a not guilty verdict won in a felony domestic violence trial in Berrien County in November of 2015 in which the allegation was that the offense was committed inside the Courthouse and the witnesses were courthouse employees, and a not guilty won in an trial for misdemeanor Aggravated Domestic Vioence in Niles, Michigan in early 2012 in which extensive photographic and physical evidence were presented by the People.
One of Attorney Jancha's favorite areas of practice is that of drivers license restoration. He is well versed in the Michigan Secretary of State Driver License Appeal Division (Administrative Hearings Section) policies and procedures relating to driver license suspension/revocation/denial, habitual offender revocations (alcohol and motor vehicle related felonies) and the appeal and reinstatement of privileges following such suspension/revocations/denials.
Paul lives in St. Joseph, Michigan with his wife, Monica, and their two sons, William and Gabriel. He is a member of the Berrien County Bar Association.

DUI representation
Hired Paul to get my license back after multiple DUI's. He was organized and knows the process to make this successful. The process for this takes a long time, and he was helpful throughout. Hiring him is a great idea.

Very helpful with efficient results!
Paul Jancha Jr. was very helpful, and worked for me to get the results I wanted out of an unfortunate situation. Would recommend him to anyone needing an attorney even if you are not a resident of Michigan. I live in Louisiana, and he got the job done for me!
