Great Lawyer

Atty. Jansen is a very professional lawyer. I was arrested for a DUI and she helped me get it reduced to a reckless driving ticket. She definitely knows what she is doing and has a great supporting cast of other lawyers and assistants. She defiantly has a presence in the court room and knows what she... is doing. She comes Highly recommended from me and my family. Thanks again Atty. Jansen

Best Lawyer Hired

I hired Molly and her Team to rep me. I posted a question on here and she responded quickly. It took a tad over a month to get my case dismissed. She told me she would fight for me and she did just that. Jansen Legal stayed in contact with me every step of the way. End result was my case was dism...issed. Even if it wasn't I paid to have a job done and they did it. Not everyone wins. Again thank you Jansen Team.

What A Joke

I hired Jansen for a serious felony charge against my son. From the get go she acted like she was going to do something, yet actions are louder than words. My son is an alcoholic and struggled in the bonding phase of the entire ordeal. Molly's advise, "Stop Drinking". When the important things were h...appening, like hearings, and building a case for his defense, Molly was never around. Her assistants were usually 20 to 30 minutes late for court, and never knew what was going on. One actually told my son to make an important case decision, never discussed prior, 5 minutes before going in front of the judge. In the end Molly force fed my son the original plea deal from the DA, continually badgering him to take the deal because, "If you go to trial and lose your going to do real time in DOC! Never laying out a defense plan never discussing one. He never even gave his side of the story to the judge. At sentencing, she gave a lack luster speech to the judge, and he gave my son the exact sentence that the DA requested. She actually acted like she got him some kind of deal?!? In the end I paid her a huge sum of money to do nothing. This is a great example of buyer beware. So, buyers BEWARE!

Awesome Attorney

I've had the opportunity to have Molly defend me in a couple of traffic matters as well as a misdemeanor charge. Every case was settled favorably in my favor. Most were dismissed all together. Her and her team do awesome work. They leave no stone unturned and take no short cuts. I highly recommend Mo...lly Jansen for any and all traffic and or criminal 1am matters

Terrible

I fired my first attorney because he did not present any evidence at the DMV hearing that I wanted a breath test that was captured on audio and given to the DA by the police. He also did not represent me in court, it was always someone else, he only represented me at the DMV hearing. Molly talked a... good game but don't fall for her BS on the radio. I was informed by Kathy, Mollys receptionist, that Molly would be representing me and assured me that Molly would not send a different attorney because this was a problem that I had with my first attorney. I hired Molly for DUI and she had all the video and audio proving that I wanted a breath test and I was not the person to get my truck stuck, (It was my step-daughter that was operating my truck as written in the police report, I wasn't even at the scene when the police showed up.) I was arrested for DUI an hour and a half after the police were at the scene when I was walking to the scene from my house to help my step-daughter. Molly didn't even bother to show up at my trial date twice. I had her paid in full. Molly sent another attorney the day of my trial to represent me, (because I was told she didn't have a good reputor with the judge), that I never met and he knew nothing about my case and he told me to plead guilty. He told me that he was not going to cross examine any witnesses or present any evidence the day of my trial, (an hour before my trial). The judge said that she would not continue my trial being she already had to continue it because Molly did not show up to my first trial date. I ended up firing him because if he is not going to fight for me then I have to fight for myself and present the evidence myself. Needless to say I am not an experienced "liar" and I was found guilty. My life has been ruined since my conviction because I am in the Automotive and Diesel Industry and it is next to impossible to find a job in this industry with a DUI on your record. What Molly did should be considered criminal and she should be brought up on charges and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Molly should be banned from ever representing anybody in a court of law. By my experience, beware and stay away. Molly will take your money and hang you out to dry. I don't know how Molly or anyone associated with her can sleep at night. Run fast and far away from Molly Jansen and her associate goons!!
