Very Disappointed. Very Poor People Skills
I found Ms. Lawson to be abrasive, disinterested and lacking of any compassion. I felt like just another file and a very robotic approach to her practice of law. For the same price, I was able to find someone who seemed to actually care for me as a person and my situation. Don't settle.

Janet really knows her stuff! She's a bulldog, and that's the kind of attorney you want with bankruptcy issues! Thank you Janet for everything you've done for me. I really appreciate it.

Sample of Legal Cases
Tim Yoo, attorney for the trustee
I am now fighting with the attorney who represents the trustee over how much they should be paid on their "administrative claim"
Heritage Pacific Financial
I took my case to trial. We won and I was awarded $40,000.00 in attorney's fees from Heritage Pacific Financial. They could not prove that they could "reasonably rely" on the loan paper work.
In Re Steinacher
The Bankruptcy Appellate Panel agreed with me that this rule was not consistent with the bankruptcy code
