jury trial

Molly Jansen represented me and my jury trial. She was extremely good cross examining the witnesses and discrediting the city prosecutor's evidence or lack thereof. Molly Jansen comes highly recommended she is very good at what she does

Mrs. Jansen is the BEST

Mrs Jansen is by far the most professional, knowledgable, and outstanding attorney that I have ever met or heard of. She is always attentive to your needs and will fight as hard as she can for you. I was accused of a DUI because I was found in a parking lot passed out in my car. We went into tria...l with a no drive defense, that she spent many of nights figuring out the best way to win. After all was said in done, because of her professionalism and trial experience, we came out victorious. I'm convinced it's all because of the work that Mrs. Jansen did prior to the trial and then her "bulldog" attidtude to not accept failure during the trial that we won. I would STRONGLY recommend Mrs. Jansen for not only DUI'S but for any trouble you might have found yourself in. She will give it her best shot, which you won't find better, and you have the best chance of winning with her than any other attorney that might say they are the best. If you don't consider her as an option then you better like the sight of a 9x9 cell!

Molly Rocks

Molly handled my case to vacate a personal protection order. She went above and beyond to locate the other party. From our first meeting, I knew she was the attorney I needed (or needed on my case). Molly is a bulldog and regardless of the case, she will go to the mat to give you the best represent...ation possible. ***side note, we were in court and a guy represented himself. HUGE MISTAKE!!! Don't shop around, go with your gut. You called her for a reason.

GREAT TEAM AT JANSEN LEGAL

Special thanks out to Molly Jansen & Curt Alfrey for taking my parental responsabilities case on such short notice. They literally had 1hr to review documents & the situation of my case before court was in session. Ms. Jansen asked for a continuance & when the respondent did not agree that we should ...be granted one Ms. Jansen & Mr. Alfrey immeadiately took action with me & CFI in the conference room. Hour & half later they had a court order that everybody agreed on. It was truly amazing watchin Molly & Curt work as a team so quik with a good sense of quality assurance. I will soon have full parental time of my baby boy to make sure he gets the full love & attention he deserves so much now!!!! : )). THANK YOU CURT & MOLLY!! I LUV YOU GUYS!!!!!

Hiring Molly Jansen was the best decision I have ever made! Period.

When I got charged with a DUI after a head-on collision (that I am convinced was not my fault) I dug myself a deep hole. I admitted to having had a couple of beers earlier that night as well as smoking marijuana and then I cooperated with a roadside sobriety test while still in shock after a very tr...aumatic collision. I all but guaranteed myself a DUI conviction. But then I called Molly Jansen. I was completely overwhelmed by the situation but Molly and her staff helped me put the whole experience in perspective by providing a game plan and giving me hope that I might be able to put my mistake behind me. They managed to postpone my trial by almost 9 months so that I could deal with it in the summer when I was on break from work. This alone was worth alot to me. But nothing prepared me for the seamless professionalism and brilliant poise Molly exuded in the courtroom. When my trial date finally came I was terrified. I first glimpsed Ms. Jansen's legal prowess in selecting the best jury any defendant could have asked for, explaining each move she made along the way through written notes. In retrospect, I was shocked to see how much of the battle was won right there at the beginning. I can't imagine that there is a better attorney in the entire state at selecting juries than Molly Jansen. The only witness the prosecution called was the police officer that arrested me on the night of the accident. The assistant DA asked him standard, boring questions to which he gave standard, boring answers. The assistant DA was new and had no flare and was rather clumsy in his questioning and in his remarks to the jury but I had made his job so easy with everything I had told the arresting officer on the night of the accident I didn't really think his lack of character and personality would help me much. Then Molly had her turn with the police officer and that was when the jury, the judge and I were treated to one of the most spectacular cross-examinations ever presented in a DUI case. This isn't just my opinion, the judge stated as much after the trial. Ms. Jansen knew the rules for roadside DUI procedure MUCH better than the officer testifying in my case. There was not one rock that she left unturned in displaying his utter lack of knowledge about DUI roadside testing procedure and lack of preparation in coming to trial. Molly is a fairly petite woman and the officer was a rather large and muscular man and it was amazing for the jury and I to see Ms. Jansen bully this policeman into submission. He took it meekly and he had no choice because at every turn of the cross-examination he had been exposed as negligent and inept. I don't think this officer had ever in his life felt the way he did during and after that cross-examination. Molly even exposed him as a liar when she had him redraw his accident scene sketch three times until it resembled the one in the accident report. The accident sketch in the report did not support the idea that I was at fault in the accident at all and Molly would not let it rest until everyone in the room was aware of this fact. After the trial, I was returning from the bathroom when I saw the policeman and the assistant DA by the elevator and I heard the officer apologizing for making such a poor showing against Ms. Jansen. I still view that cross-examination as one of the ultimate examples of professional excellence I have had the priveledge of witnessing in my entire life. Ms. Jansen's closing remarks cut the DA's feet right out from under him by anticipating his remarks and countering them to such an extent that they seemed irrelevant and stale by the time he got around to making them. When the judge read the jury's verdicts of NOT guily for DUI, NOT guilty for DWAI and NOT guilty for careless driving I was struck dumb with relief. I had my life back and my future back and there was only one person responsible for giving those things to me: Molly Jansen.
