Satisfied Clients

Janice has been extremely responsive and up front with us as she represented and guided us through a complex set of California Government Code and Civil Code Actions. She is like a precision guided rocket, cutting through imprecise understandings of the law.

Super Lawyer!

Janice Mazur is a highly skilled and talented professional who knows the law. She's a great listener, a smart thinker and an excellent communicator. Janice was accessible, compassionate, caring and always realistic about goals and expectations and her fees are extremely fair. After years of being ...on a seemingly endless "legal Ferris wheel" I retained Janice to review two cases for possible appeals. Before any appeal was requested and upon reviewing voluminous records in these cases, Ms. Mazur determined that the plaintiffs deceptively and improperly obtained a default judgement against me. She filed a motion, the court agreed and granted our motion to vacate a 10 year old wrongly obtained Judgement null and void. She was instrumental in restoring my life to normal. Thank you Janice!

Excellent Lawyer and communicator

Janice did a great job understanding the complexities of our case. She was able to research those areas thoroughly to provide us with the best possibility of success. She was straight up front with our chances of prevailing on appeal and did a great job preparing our appeals brief to the Supreme Cour...t. I have had other appellate Lawyers in the past and would choose her over any of our past Lawyers. Great lawyer !! You won't be disappointed !!! We even got a refund of the balance not used from our retainer. That is honesty at its best. Highly recommended.

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 .
