thank you, thank you, thank you
Janal did a agreed modification/relocation for me. Even though my ex and i agreed on the modification, my ex is not an easy person to deal with. We were also on a time limit.

Save your money.
As my legal representation, all actions by this attorney led to failure. She ignored critical facts that clearly were important to the matter.

Replied last June 03, 2011This client did not present all facts to the attorney at the time of representation, nor did he provide a complete case file. This made having a complete knowledge of the situation difficult if not impossible.

This attorney did not present anything to the court that was not approved by the client ahead of time. While the outcome of the hearing was unfortunate, the courts decision was based on law and logic.

Janal has been very helpful in answering my questions. I can call her anytime or email at anytime and she will respond within a few hours, if its late at night by the next morning she has responded. I will reccomend Janal Rich to anyone who is in need of a divorce/.

The worst lawyer
Not only did she fail completely in court, she could not articulate anything! She cost me a fortune and I am still fighting with the lawfirm regarding charges she incurred.

Replied last September 19, 2012While the client's frustration at the results in court is understandable, the law firm attempted to work with the client regarding the fees incurred, including a substantial reduction in her debt.
