Janean Lorea Kelly

Having just turned 60 years old, the time had come to update my and my wife's wills. I phoned two lawyers. One never did return my call. The other lawyer I called was Jan. Despite it being late on a Friday afternoon, she answered immediately! She took the time to understand our needs and promptly s...ent me a multi page form to complete. About a week later we met to review her work and recommendations. Jan set up a trust for us, updated our wills, provided a durable power of attorney and a health care power of attorney. After everything was signed and notarized (Jan is a Notary Public) she provided all documents in a tabbed 3 ring binder for easy reference. All documents were also scanned and emailed to me. As such, we now also have it stored on a thumb drive. Access to Jan, her attention to detail, sense of urgency and skill in this area of the law are each impressive. Taken together, these attributes separate Jan from almost all others in the profession. I would certainly endorse and recommend Jan for any estate planning needs.

Our company retained Janean Kelly, MBA, JD, in early 2016 for a contract dispute between our firm and a delinquent corporate client, a Washington corporation, with the case to be heard in Nevada. Ms. Kelly is a business attorney, local to our office, and is licensed both in Washington State and Nevad...a; thus, she was the logical choice for our needs, and we were not disappointed. We felt we were represented exceptionally well by Ms. Kelly in that matter. Her expertise in business, business law and contracts was evident, but she also was able to make complicated legal issues understandable to the layperson. Also, and importantly, through the course of the case, Ms. Kelly was excellent at communicating regularly the status of the case and prompt in returning all communications from us. Although the case for which we retained Ms. Kelly’s services has since settled, we continue to utilize her services for all our business needs. Quite simply, her work ethics are beyond reproach. We highly recommend the services of Janean Kelly, MBA, JD.

Jan handles my company's contracts, contract review and real estate transactions. Her attention to detail is second to none. A particular review resulted in a long-established mortgage company making several revisions and additions to their boiler plate agreements because of the shortfalls and errors... Jan discovered. Jan is thoughtful, thorough, and attentive. She always has your back...

Jan came recommended through a friend when I was in need of an attorney for my business. I was in the process of expanding and had an out of state partner. I needed someone savvy who could research not only the laws in my state but make sure I was protected from my partner as well. Not only was Jan o...n the ball, she came to me with ideas and strategies that we hadn’t even thought of ourselves. She is personable, professional and extremely witty. Most importantly, she is honest! If I approach her with a question that isn’t her area of expertise, she immediately refers me to someone who can better assist me in that area. She doesn’t waste time with unnecessary paperwork in order to rack up billable hours...she gets to the point and understands that my time is just as important as hers...not a trait often seen in lawyers. Ms. Kelly also handled my pre-nuptial agreement. Not one of life’s "fun" things to do, she made it a simple procedure and approached it with a tactfulness that made it easy on both my husband and me. I HIGHLY recommend Jan Kelly to anyone who is looking for an attorney. She is both my business lawyer, my personal attorney. I plan on keeping her on retainer for many years to come.
