Harmful Unfortunate Representation

I would have loved nothing more than to have provided a positive review until it became apparent that this attorney fails in our case to adhere to her core values, including justice for the client. This attorney and her firm withdrew from our case after 6 yrs, close to $200,000, 10 trial delays, and... just weeks before trial leaving us without representation. There was a celebratory unprofessional presence in the courtroom hallway in front of her devastated client, family, and friends. We were respectful, patient, and supportive of her personal situation only to have her turn against us. The harm she created with the withdrawal was unconscionable. Don't be fooled by the charisma and manipulations.

Bad firm. Do not waste your money people!

Most of this firm's clients are clients for multiple years. Meaning they stretch things out to charge their clients. The first few court date the firms main attorney Janelle made an appearance then I was quickly passed off to another lawyer who had just passed her bar exam . The case in total has b...een going on for 2years 3months. When things in the case went from good to bad the communication went away. I never felt secure or sure of what was going to happen or what needed to happen. But the tipping point was when I emailed the attorney done questioned and she answered by emailing me a balance if my account. So if your looking for an attorney to really represent you look somewhere else. 2+Years = 5800

Family lawyer | Dec 09

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"You can look all over the county, region, or state, and you will not find an attorney who will be more committed to you and case than Janelle. I worked with Janelle for four years, and I have seen her stay at the office later, and work harder than any other attorney to get the best results for clients. She is brilliant, committed, and will not give up. She sees possibilities where others see problems, and will give her all to you and your case."
