Janal is amazing!

Janal is thoroughly exceptional. I had to engage counsel for a major modification to change parenting plan and sole decision making. With her representation, I was granted all requests and my daughter is flourishing. Early in the proceedings I was working with another attorney and realized I needed ...stronger representation. After interviewing several attorneys, it was clear she was high above the rest. Here’s what I love about her: 1) Exceptional knowledge – she brought new perspectives and recommendations that supported my case. 2) Oversight – She had an uncanny ability to retain and recall the facts of my case. She was always able to pick up where we left off. No matter her total caseload, I felt like I was her main client. 3) Supportive relationship – She kept me optimistic and uplifted me. I’ve become highly aware that other attorneys do not have this capacity. 4) Gravitas – She is strong and confident and will always angle for win-win solutions. She effectively pushed back and she knows how to ‘show teeth’ when called for. 5) Personality - She is a pure enjoy to work with, which was refreshing and uplifting throughout. What I’ve learned from her will serve me a lifetime. I’m beyond thankful and I highly recommend.

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.
