This client does not even provide a name. Unfortunately an attorney can not help a client who will not take the attorney's advice and who does not seek the personal assistance that they need, or who is not honest with their attorney. An attorney is not a "defense" as though the client and their facts have nothing to do with the case. Clients have responsibility for their case as well and the thought that they do not is naive. It is also naive to think that if one contacts their attorney 10 - 15 times a day, there will be no cost. I hope that this client receives the mental health care that she needs and if she obtains another attorney that she will be honest with the next one. An attorney is not the "defense" for a client who does not have a good case, or limitations on their ability to understand and participate in proceedings. I always tell clients the truth about the strength of their case. Most clients appreciate that and some become upset when they are not told what they want to hear. Additionally attorneys can not help clients who are unwilling to accept legal advice. I wish her the best.

Lacking

My experience with Attorney Sabra Janko was highly unsatisfactory. Her disorganization was glaring, leading to a lack of confidence in her abilities. She demonstrated a concerning lack of knowledge regarding crucial aspects like veteran pay, notably the Military Housing Allowance. Moreover, her repre...sentation left me feeling unsupported; she failed to embody the role of a dedicated advocate for her client's best interests.

I absolutely disagree. If an attorney has to withdraw from a former client's case and take a former client to court for payment, then former clients often create reasons why they should not have to pay for services. There were no comments whatsoever regarding a dissatisfaction of service prior to payment being addressed.

Family

Sabra Janko handled my unusual and complicated divorce case in a most professional and knowledgeable manner. She understood my case from the beginning and was able to bring the case to a successful.She protected all my rights where I could not have been without her. No matter how trivial my question...s,Ms. Sabra would answer them in timely manner either personally or by email. Her staff is second to none,especially paralegal,Hailey.Ms.Sabra guided me through the litigation, deposition, and ultimate conclusion of the case with poise, confidence and assurance which I needed during an emotionally charged time in my life. I would highly recommend Janko law firm and her diversified practice.

Prenuptial Agreement

Sabra provided an excellent service and big help for me as my lawyer for my prenuptial agreement. She gave me all information about it and suggested me the better way to negotiate on the agreement. My husband and I had a best decision we made on it. We really appreciate her help.

Goes Above and Beyond

Contacted Ms. Sabro concerning a mediation I was involved with. She eased my fears as well as making numerous telephone calls to make sure my disabilities were accommodated as well as helping me to understand the entire mediation process.
