Sometime after initially meeting Jeannette, I serendipitous came across her again on my way away from my office. Her friendly personality, follow through skills (meaning she does what she says she's going to do), and indicatable knowledge of construction law, including contracts, compels me to endorse Jeannette.

I endorse attorney Jeannette Charlotte Christine Darrow. I would encourage individuals in the Santa Ana area to review the credentials of this attorney and not to hesitate considering her for your representation. The AVVO responses that she exhibits are a fine working knowledge of the law, and she has great communication skills that she utilizes with those in need of a legal opinion. She has a very focused and easy approach, and this is exactly what non-lawyers need to obtain - the guidance and direction that she can seek in regards to their legal issues.
