Our Entire Family Depends on the Excellent Care and Results with Janet

I and my husband have unfortunately needed personal injury legal support multiple times and other members of our family have also. Our first car accident, we started the process with another lawyer which was unsuccessful. When we came to Janet it was later in the process and quite messy. Our person...al injuries complicated our effectiveness in communicating and making the process smooth. This did not detour Janet. She simply was resourceful and compassionate with her handing of us, yet extremely focused on representing us to the highest caliber of professional excellence. It is almost hard to express all the ways she cared for us. We have referred Janet to anyone that has found themselves unfortunately in need of an excellent personal injury attorney! She simply is amazing at what she does.

Great Experience

I'm so happy to have had Janet Thoman there to help me after my auto accident! She was incredibly helpful, competent, and on the ball. Always gave good advice and always had my interests as the priority. Definitely recommend!

Auto accident claim

Janet was extremely helpful and encouraging. I have so much respect and appreciation for her. She helped me to get the settlement I deserved but otherwise could not get on my own. She was very forthcoming and honest.

Efficient and Competent

Janet was very knowledgeable and kept me informed and updated on what was happening with my case. She responded quickly to my questions and was very patient in explaining the legal process. I could not have navigated the legal system without her expertise and obtained such a satisfactory settlement....

Experienced and Personable

My wife and I met Janet after my wife's bicycle accident and hospitalization, when there was a lot going on. Janet was very caring, helpful, and professional in all of our interaction. It was a relief knowing we had someone like her representing us. Since our initial meeting, she has truly been re...liable and invaluable in dealing with all the moving parts. We would not hesitate to contact Janet again if the need arose.
