Joann Bussayabuntoon

Joann goes above and beyond for her clients. You could not be in better hands for representation during a DBA case. She puts in the work needed to address every angle the insurance companies will use to discredit you and your case. My case took 4 years to complete, I started with Jill, (another tal...ented lawyer at the Mara Law firm) and switched to Joann for the last 2 years. I could not be more pleased with her representation from start to finish! The nature of my injury was a traumatic brain injury which interferes with my ability to remember what I experience from day to day. I am self-conscious about my disabilities and I know I probably called and asked the same questions a few times, but Joann and the Mara Law Firm staff were always very responsive, easy to contact, and never made me feel bad or even pointed out that I had already called and asked the same questions previously. They were spectacular! They helped me through one of the toughest times of my life. We were able to reach a settlement at my mediation and did not have to go through the lengthy process of court. Joann is truly an exceptional attorney. Thank you very much for all of your help and attention to detail with my case!

While working overseas I sustained a back injury that prevented me from returning to my location and was further let go by my employer. I was referred to Joann and never looked back, her professionalism and knowledge was superb. She was always there to address any concerns I had and explained everyth...ing clearly to my understanding. Nothing but positive things to say about Joann and her team at Mara Law Firm. Keep up the great work.

I offer grateful thanks to Joann Bussayabuntoon, David Rei, and the entire Mara Law Firm, for the comfort and confidence gain in securing your distinguished practice to represent me. I was always kept abreast of updates to my case immediately, as Joann and David held communication, confidence, and ...clarity at top of their representation with consistency. Pride in their work, and founded joy in representing their clients was apparent from the start, and endured through to closure of my claim for compensation. I was never in a frame of mind of guessing, what's next, because they stayed ahead of the curve, and ensured I was aware of everything to expect, and/ or anticipate. It's never easy to deal with an injury; or for that matter the many challenges faced when dealing with insurance company's legal team alone. Thank goodness, through Joann's experience, I never felt alone, or under-represented. I had a top lawyer, dealing with my case, and I felt like I was always led in to each situation, from medical exams, meetings, and discussions with physicians to correspondence, with the best representation out there. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Joann and David for everything you've done for me, and my family. To sum up my assessment of the Mara Law Firm, highlighted by, Joann and David, I'd like to offer this poem with warmth, and respect for their unyielding professionalism. Myself, By, Edgar A. Guest "I have to live with myself and so I want to be fit for myself to know. I want to be able as days go by, always to look myself straight in the eye; I don't want to stand with the setting sun and hate myself for the things I have done. I don't want to keep on a closet shelf a lot of secrets about myself and fool myself as I come and go into thinking no one else will ever know the kind of person I really am, I don't want to dress up myself in sham. I want to go out with my head erect I want to deserve all men's respect; but here in the struggle for fame and wealth I want to be able to like myself. I don't want to look at myself and know that I am bluster and bluff and empty show. I never can hide myself from me; I see what others may never see; I know what others may never know, I never can fool myself and so, whatever happens I want to be self respecting and conscience free."

I hired this law firm in 2013 and my case was difficult, to say the least. I started with one attorney and Joann was assigned my case midway through the process. She was ALWAYS just a phone call or email away. She would explain everything until I had a firm grasp on the lingo and she would always be ...available to answer my husband’s questions as well. The one thing I remember through this whole process was when I was deposed by the defense and I had to leave in the middle and as I am standing in the bathroom trying to keep the memories from flooding back, she called me and talked me back from the edge, which allowed me to go back in and finish my deposition. I will forever be grateful for that moment.

Joann is, simply, an outstanding attorney. She exhibits all the characteristics that a client could desire, to include a unique ability to inspire confidence in a long and draining process to establish and win a case that impacts a client on a lifetime basis. The Mara Firm in general and Joann in par...ticular, are responsive to a clients needs in all respects. I never, on any occasion felt out of touch or unsupported, throughout a process that in my case, took almost 2 years to complete. I was always provided with sound advice and practical, realistic expectations. Joann's assistants, and the Mara Office staff, were always responsive to correspondence and phone calls. I ca not say enough good things about Joann or the Mara Firm. I would recommend them with all my heart for any conceivable legal representation. In all areas, Joann met or exceeded my goals with my case. Our opponents respect her and the firm also; this was always apparent in our dealings with the "Other Side". I will always be grateful to Joann and the Mara Firm for representing me; they will always be in my thoughts and prayers, and I cannot praise them enough. If they EVER had occasion to need MY assistance in the future, I would not hesitate one second to saddle up and stand with them.
