Janelle's services were the key to our company's success. Her knowledge base and professionalism kept us from making any errors and in correctly and before the deadline filing a U.S. patent application for a non-provisional patent claim. The results of her work have proved spot on and we can confide...
"Janelle has that rare combination of not only being exceptionally smart, but also enjoyable to work with. That is why we refer clients to her and her team without hesitation. We know they will go above and beyond to help their case and will be a valuable member of their committee of trusted advisers."
"Janelle is an amazing person and an amazing attorney. She advocates rigorously for her clients and I never hesitate to refer any of my clients with business litigation needs into the capable hands of Janelle. I trust her 100%."
"Janelle is a determined litigator. Janelle also has an uncanny business sense, always seeming to find just the right path for businesses to take regardless of whether it's a question about entity selection or concerns about employee issues."
"Janelle Smith is a sharp, professional and highly-motivated attorney. She genuinely cares about her clients, and I've observed firsthand her tireless devotion to achieving the best possible results for them. I feel privileged to count her among my colleagues and strongly endorse her work."
"I had the pleasure of working with Janelle on several matters in 2012. I was immediately impressed by her diligence, smarts, and excellent manner with clients. I have since succeeded in convincing Janelle to join my practice. It was one of the savviest moves I have ever made."
"I highly respect Janelle as a fellow practitioner and as someone you would want to get to know. She is very approachable, compassionate and a strong advocate. Janelle is someone who cares about her clients and will go the extra mile to make sure the job is done right on all the matters she works on."
"I love sending clients to Janelle! She is knowledgeable, calm, and always very professional. The clients I have sent her way seem happy after working with her. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Janelle, and am lucky to have her a colleague."
"As collegues, Ms. Smith and I have had the opportunity to discuss innumerable aspects of professional life. These interactions have given me a clear understanding of Ms. Smith’s character, intelligence, and work ethic, and a substantial sense of her knowledge of law in particular. I have the utmost trust and respect for Ms. Smith’s competence and integrity. Her moral character is unimpeachable."
"Janelle is an incredibly thoughtful and thorough attorney and I would recommend her to anyone seeking legal counsel in the areas of employment law or entity formation. In my experience, Janelle has always been honest and direct with both her clients and opposing counsel while providing first rate advocacy for her clients."
"Janelle is bright, motivated, and passionate. She will take care with your matter and is willing to work hard."
"Janelle is an intelligent, motivated attorney whom I highly respect both as a person and as a professional. You can count on Janelle to do a good job on any case she takes on."
