An honest attorney! How refreshing!

I have used Mr. Janke's services for several issues over the past few years and he has always been forthright, competent and helpful. I highly recommend him!

Posted by Mitchell Pearce, D.C, M.S., L.Ac. | December 05, 2012 | Appeals

One of the 5 honest lawyers of the hundreds I've encoutnered

Mr. Janke has worked for me off and on for over two decades. Mr. Janke's only personality fault is that he is too honest for his own good. Countless times he has told me or a patient I have referred to him, "You can spend less on me if you do such and such." When I or the patient follow that advic...e he makes less money, we save, and we still win! How many attorneys would even think of keeping your costs down? Mr. Janke represented me and advised me during may darkest hours when everyone else thought I was a goner. He testified in court as my attorney (this is soo rare) and was the consummate professional when the other side was acting out their emotional meltdowns over realizing that they were losing. Mr. Janke represented me in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and although we lost on a technicality we could do do nothing about, Mr. Janke managed, with help from foolishness from the other side, to get the judges to state on the record, but for the technicality that prevented us going forward, it was clear I was grievously wronged by the defendants and they should be ashamed of themselves for what they did. He even set up the other side to admit they were completely wrong and I was completely wronged by them during oral arguments before the 9th Circuit Judges.. I've never heard of any anything like this happening before. In short, Mr. Janke is a force to be reckoned with. That's why he is our chief counsel (very part time I'm happy to say) for my wife's business, Online Image.
