Excellent Lawyer

Mr Janci is experienced and knowledgeable. He was easy to work with and very understanding. He guided me step by step through the process. I'm very happy with the outcome. If you need someone to represent you in a sexual abuse lawsuit, don't hesitate to contact Crew Janci law firm.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
