This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Employment and Labor

Janna, was great from beginning till end. Having to go through any legal issues is frightening as it is, but she made me feel at ease throughout it all. Whenever I had a question she was quick to answer with confidence. Communication was great whether it was through email, text or via phone the commu...nication was always there. I really hope I never have to go through any work related issues again but if I do I know who to call. Thank You once again Janna :)

Start-Up Tech Company: General / Outside Counsel

Early last year, my company was based in my living room and I had no employees. Over the year and a half that passed, Janna has helped build a solid legal foundation for my company. My company is developing new technologies and Janna has helped protect us by drafting strong non-disclosure agreement...s, employment agreements, independent contractor agreements, and filed for trademarks. Also, I now have nearly 20 employees and Janna ensured that my company is complying with California and Federal labor laws. She is very knowledgeable about a wide variety of issues - she has reviewed our leases, insurance policies, and so much more. I keep throwing random, unexpected issues at her and she responds very promptly and finds the solution. I strongly recommend attorney Janna Jamil to any other business that is starting up and needs legal advice from an attorney who is flexible, responsive, and can handle any crazy question you throw at her!

Janna is a Gem!

We were at a crossroad with our business; to fold or grow. With Janna’s assistance, we decided to grow. Our funds were limited however she worked with us, so that we could afford to obtain the legal advice needed with amending the company LLC and move forward in a professional manner. Without her ...assistance and understanding, we would still be sitting at the round table trying to figure out legal issues. Now we are able to spend time getting the business on track. She worked out the legal issues and addressed all of the questions we were concerned with and set us on the right track. She amended the LLC so that all involved were comfortable with the revisions. Janna is extremely patient and responds very fast. This is a quality that any client of any financial status appreciates. Besides being very knowledgeable and professional, she treated us so nice. Thanks Janna.

"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Jamil is a passionate advocate who will really step up to the plate for her clients, without first questioning how much is in it for her. She is sincere, respectful, and in her practice, always makes sure she is procedurally sound in following the rules. Not only is she a great attorney, but a shining example and desperately-needed standard for young attorneys everywhere who are tempted to just posture-tough in the beginning of their careers- rather than learn the practice of law and take good advice from the veterans."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
