Law is my second career. I have an MFA from UCLA School of Theatre, Film, and Television. I have worked as a university professor and an independent filmmaker. I directed two feature films. (Google my name - Jeanne Collachia - and find out all sorts of nefarious things about me.) My background in motion pictures, and creative writing helps me tell your story in a compelling way. My background in law enables me to apply the facts (your story) to the law so that I can persuade a court to give you the relief you seek.
I represent both appellants and respondents, but for some reason it is mostly would-be appellants who contact me. I have represented appellants in 16 appeals that were pursued from filing the Notice of Appeal through written opinion by the Court of Appeal. I have gotten 5 reversals. Each time that I have represented a respondent the Court of Appeal has affirmed. I pride myself on my ability to advocate clearly, simply, and effectively in plain English.

She is the kind of lawyer put her heart into your case. She works extremely hard on your case. She lives on her professional reputation. My previous lawyer just take your money and do nothing on your case. Jeanne is very professional and ethical. I am very lucky to have her as my attorney. Also, her ...

This attorney is amazing! I have seen her involved in every kind of civil case known to man, as well as misdemeanor criminal cases, and she ALWAYS wins! Whenever I have a legal problem, I go to her. She is level headed, smart as a whip, and a feminist to boot! Whoopee! Her legal writing is the m...
"I endorse this lawyer. From discussing cases with her, it is obvious that she is extremely knowledgeable about the procedural and substantive issues raised in her trial and appellate cases. She is exceptionally diligent, hard-working, and thorough in preparing her briefs and other written materials."
"I endorse this lawyer. I am a workers' compensation attorney and needed the assistance of an experienced appellate attorney in a large death case to prepare a writ. I was pleased with Ms. Collachia and very impressed with the briefs."
"I endorse this lawyer. Jeanne Collachia is an outstanding and ethical attorney in all respects. My legal background is in civil litigation, contract & business law, and media business & legal affairs. I have worked with Ms. Collachia on a number of appeals. These include trademark infringement, breach of contract, and (most recently) a worker's compensation writ. She is precise, detail-oriented, and brilliant in her logical analysis. She does thorough reviews of the underlying documents, has excellent research skills to find all possible appellate issues, writes concise briefs to explain the client's story clearly, and is persuasive in her oral presentation in court. She is thoughtful regarding client needs and seeks to carry out the client's goals to the full extent of the law."
