Twice what I thought !!!!!!!!!

Janelle Carney and her team helped me with an injury claim. They were always in contact with me and responded immediately if I reached out to them. They recovered twice what I initially thought. She and team is outstanding. They continue to follow up on how I am.

Love this firm

I was rear ended a few years ago and experienced a lot of pain. A friend recommended her attorney who did nothing about my case for over a year. My chiropractor recommended Janelle Carney's firm and I'm so glad they did. They answered all my questions made great suggestions and took me under their wi...ngs. Her support staff were all friendly and helpful. She helped me receive more than I dreamed possible. I would definitely recommend her firm to anyone needing a professional caring firm. They give lawyers a GREAT name. Just sorry I had to have an accident to meet these wonderful people.

Making the impossible, Possible

Following a devastating slip and fall injury I was told by every lawyer I talked to that it was an impossible case to win especially in our neck of the woods, but Janelle and her team took a look at all the facts and gave us hope that this case could in fact be won. Janelle was encouraging, supporti...ve and incredibly professional during the entire process. She kept us informed and up to date the entire way so we never felt out of the loop. We cannot say enough about how hard Janelle and her team worked for us. She made the impossible, possible and we settled out of court and got our lives back on track. Thank You so much for all you do, we are truly blessed to have had you on our side.

Hard-working, Dedicated and Honest

I had the pleasure of being represented by Janelle for an automobile accident that really hurt me not only physically but emotionally as well. I was referred to her through the Super Lawyers website completely by chance because I was supposed to be represented by a different attorney. I could not hav...e asked for a better "chance" to be represented. Janelle is the only attorney that I will ever refer someone to, that is need of someone to represent them in this type of matter. Janelle and Gina (her assistant) got to know not only me and my case, but they also got to know my family and how this accident affected them as well. I never felt like I was a bottom line or a dollar amount, I always felt like my wellness and healing was the most important issue because it was important to her. She always expected honesty from me, as well as herself, and it was evident in all the conversations we had from the beginning to the end. She went above my expectations and after 5 years, we settled in the second mediation without having to go to court, with a settlement that was just and fair for all of the parties involved. She is a wonderful person and has her clients' best interests above her own. She always shows compassion and keeps her client(s) involved throughout the process, which is, at times, not pleasant and sometimes painful, but she fights hard for them and will be completely honest during a very difficult time in their lives. She gets to know the person and his/her family personally and gives everything she can to make sure that person is well represented and that the end resolution is one that is best for the individual, putting them above herself. She is very approachable, humble and easy to work alongside. I will always highly recommend her and will always stand up for her and her assistant(s). They deserve any and all praise because of their dedication to the people they represent and also because of their commitment to fight for what they believe is just and fair in, not only their eyes and heart, but also the hearts of the people they dedicate themselves to serving. If there are any awards to be given for a hard-working, dedicated, humble, compassionate, honest attorney, Janelle deserves them all, as do the people that work with her (Gina and others). These individuals are what makes GLP Attorneys Law Office, in my opinion, the only law office to seek representation from. Sincerely, George R.

Attorney Review

Following an auto accident, I contacted Attorney Janelle Carney for legal advice and action. She graciously explained the law, what I could expect, the process and the amount of time this issue may take. She updated me periodically as she collected the necessary information to make my case. Then she... brought the case to a closed with dispatch and to my satisfaction. I have no hesitation in recommending her to friends or family who need such legal services.
