Janelle is a former chair of the Insurance Law group for Washington State Association for Justice. Janelle is passionate about insurance bad faith law and doing everything she can to make sure insurance companies do the right thing. She consistently presents on the topic of insurance law throughout the State of Washington. She has moderated the Insurance Law Seminar on the Insurance Fair Conduct Act and presented on bad faith in both underinsured motorist claims and personal injury protection claims.

Janelle will leave no stone unturned in her quest to obtain maximum recovery for her clients.
