About Jan
Biography
I founded this firm with the belief that people can make a positive difference in the world and make a profit by doing so. My emphasis is on assisting small businesses and social entrepreneurs in all aspects of launching and managing their ventures. I’ve built a successful practice by working with the kind of people I respect and enjoy being around. Maybe that’s why it often becomes difficult to remember what came first – business or friendship. After spending over a decade working with hundreds of small business people throughout the entire life cycles of their businesses, I’ve become very adept at helping entrepreneurs concentrate on doing what they do best.

Jan is just what I was looking for. I wanted someone who knows the law inside and out but would work with me at the pace I wanted to go. He is very laid back and does not push. He is also not confrontational. He wants to help in the way you need his services. Refreshing for a lawyer!
