Impressed with Janice's Performance

I had the pleasure of working with Janice Mazur on a challenging appellate case, and I am thoroughly impressed with her performance. Janice’s extensive knowledge of the law was evident throughout the process, and her ability to break down complex legal jargon into understandable terms was invaluable.... She was not only highly professional but also personable, which made working with her a positive experience. Her responsiveness to emails and phone calls was exceptional, and she remained attentive and direct in all communications. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, we successfully won a difficult case. I highly recommend Janice Mazur for anyone seeking a skilled and approachable appellate lawyer.

Janice Mazur is the Real Deal

I found Ms Mazur on Avvo after a 2 year legal nightmare which ended with a misdemeanor conviction. My trust in lawyers and in the justice system was at an all time low when I posted a question on Avvo. Janice contacted me promptly as I had another court date in 2 days. She was direct and focused and... provided "thoughtful answers" vs scripted generalities. I told her at the beginning of the call that my finances were limited so she could excuse herself if she wanted to . Instead Janice was generous with her time and knowledge and provided her professional opinion about how I should move forward in my pursuit of justice. Janice thoroughly explained my possible options. She spent the time to educate me on the basics of misdemeanor appeals and gave examples of appeals vs writs of habeas corpus. I now have a realistic idea of the work that will be required to do this and I am motivated to pick myself up and get busy in my defense. She didn't have any obligation to me and after the way I have been trreated by previous counsel I diidn't expect it. Janice has restored my faith in the legal community. Janice is my reminder that for every unethical attorney working there are attorneys with a deep sense of integrity and who will extend themselves beyond the call of duty . Finally Ms Mazur provided a personal referral of a colleague for a related issue ithat arose out of this case. Thank you Janice .

Charged over $300.00 per page for an appeal which was very straight forward.

I hired her since she said she was an appeal specialist. She charged me almost $10,000 for an opening brief. I had another attoney represinting me. She refused to give a breakdown of how long she spent on each issue. She dragged it out for almost 3 months. She did not advise me she was going on vacat...ion after she took the deposit.
