Bar None, the Best Attorney in the OC.

There's no stress or situation more defeating and exhausting than going through workers compensation issues with your employer. That was my truth until I hired Jana. From our first meeting, she showed compassion and confidence, which allowed me to leave her office feeling the best I had in weeks. ... She was very thorough with the questions that she asked, and she gave me a frank overview of what my options were. I ultimately chose to go with her and fight my case, and boy am I glad I did: she got me $45K and, more importantly, made me feel like I had the best attorney that money could buy. Thanks, Jana. I can never repay you for all your hard work.

Aggressive Lawyer

First lawyer that took my case was my family law attorney that also did workers comp. cases. He was getting old and wanting to retire and lost his fighting edge. 1 month before trial with my former employer I pushed him to discuss his strategy to get my future medical expenses paid off. He got pissed... off and told me my case was virtually worthless and I should find another attorney if I expected more help. So I got a reference from another attorney for Jana Santiago Burrell. She took the case and got a total of 25K for my future medical buyout for my hearing loss that my first lawyer said was "virtually worthless". Great JOB Jana!!! thanks Willy

Classy & Personable! Helped me out BIG TIME!!

I went to Jana's office for my work injury and needed guidance.. And Jana gave me clear and concise direction. She answered all of my questions and was extremely knowledgeable.. and even told me how to handle my case on my own!! I ultimately hired her and its been a smooth and easy process.. Couldn't... be more satisfied!

Outstanding Representation

I highly recommend Jana as she did an outstanding job on my case, once I hired her I did not have to worry about anything. Jana handled all of the hearings, I never had to go to court or attend any DMV hearings.. She was able to get EVERY penalty significantly reduced. If you hire Jana and do wha...t she says your outcome will be much better than you would ever have expected!

Excellent Representation and Sensitive to Costs

I cannot recommend Jana highly enough. Very personable and straightforward, she listens carefully, is very responsive to email and text messages and gives answers that make the law as clear as possible to the layman. She is also very careful with how she uses your money to ensure that your final b...ill is as low as it can possibly be without ever under representing you.

"Jana is awesome. I had a client for an unrelated matter, who was involved in an unfortunate DUI incident late on a Saturday night (around 2AM). I referred him to Jana, and she returned his call within the hour. She provided him with information regarding DUI defense and was able to diffuse an extremely tense and worrisome situation on the spot. Jana is extremely caring and kind, and willing to go far out of her way to help her clients. We cannot thank her enough for being such a zealous advocate."

"Professionally, Jana is a fierce advocate who believes in and is passionate about being a criminal defense attorney. Her true commitment to justice and to her clients is what separates her from many attorneys in the field of criminal law and criminal defense. To say she is a hard worker is an understatement, as her level of commitment makes her an invaluable asset on any case for any firm. Furthermore, she has gained a great amount of valuable trial experience as a former OC District Attorney. On a personal level, Jana is a kind and caring individual, and these traits really come through in her work. She has the ability to communicate and show compassion, and is able to relate to her clients through these traits. I highly endorse Jana Santiago as an exceptional attorney, advocate, litigator, and overall human being."
