Relationship: Worked together on matter
Jean is a fierce advocate for her clients and her experience as a State Bar prosecutor gives her special insight into the workings on the discipline process.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Jean is one of the most enthusiastic attorney's I've had the pleasure of working with. She not only knows her stuff, she knows enough to learn the things she has not yet encountered. You want an attorney who puts her ego second to getting a great job done first. I have worked with Jean at the ADDC and she has been a help, fascinated by the work, and has become a friend. I highly endores her.
Anthony Radogna, Ethics and professional responsibility Attorney on Jun 28, 2018
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. I have known Jean for many years. She had a great reputation as a California State Bar prosecutor. She is now in private practice and brings that same hard work and knowledge to her client's cases. I have always found her to be ethical and extremely hard working. There is not many people that have both the book smarts and the practical experience to be such a strong advocate for their client. Hire her with confidence.
