James R. Jansen

We lost our Mother in an auto accident in June 2012. Our lives were turned upside down - especially our Dad's. Like many, we've had little to no experience in dealing with an attorney, especially for something like this! We received a ton of letters from attorneys who apparently read local papers ...for people in need of attorneys, but thankfully friends who work for a local insurance agency actually recommended Habush, Habush & Rottier. We called them, and James Jansen was assigned to our case. James worked closely with our family, explained every option and answered every question we had in terms we could clearly understand. He kept in close contact, and would sometimes just drop a line or make a call to see how we were doing, even if there was no news on our case. Practicing law for so many years, he was not only extremely knowledgeable in the law and process, but was very familiar with many other attorneys in the area... and is very respected among them. We ended up settling out of court and were pleased with our fair settlement. Sadly, between the time of the accident and the settlement, we lost our Dad to kidney failure / colon cancer. To our surprise, James took time out of his busy schedule to come to Dad's funeral! Not only were we fortunate enough to work with a WONDERFUL attorney, we feel like we gained a family friend through our darkest of times.

Lawyer Jim Jansen represented my 3 family members that were involved in a horrific car crash leaving my 6 year old son disabled. Jim took the time to gather all the facts, research all settlement avenues and in the end created a special needs trust account for our son to ensure his settlement money ...would always be protected. Jim was always compassionate for the pain our family was enduring and always kept us informed as to where the law suit was going. Jim showed a professionalism that ended up feeling like a life long friendship. He had walked through a horrible journey with our family and we will forever be grateful for all he did.

We worked with Jim settling with an insurance company and setting up a trust for my grandson after he lost his father in an auto accident. Jim was very knowledgeable, professional and compassionate. With his help we feel he helped make the best of a bad situation. Not only did he make us very comfort...able throughout the process he got us the best deal possible. In the final proceedings the judge even commented on how thorough and professional he thought Jim had handled our case. I would definitely use him again and recommend him without hesitation.

During the worst possible time, the death of our daughter by a drunk driver, Jim Jansen was by our side. Legally and personally Jim took care of everything. Jim first looked at our case and then he made us a very fair offer if we were to get a settlement so we told him to proceed. As the case moved... forward, Jim made recommendations to us and we finally settled the case and received a $200,000.00 settlement in our pocket and Jim stuck to his original agreement. The entire firm was a pleasure to work with. I would use Jim and his firm any day and so should you.

Our 17 year old daughter was in an auto accident injuring her spinal cord. Jim kept us informed of all of our options during a very difficult time for our family. He found information vital to the outcome of the case that the law enforcement officials didn't even make us aware of, and was able to com...e up with a settlement that made us and our daughter very happy.
