Molly Jansen was a beacon of hope when my options appeared to be limited, and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible.
I worked with two lawyers prior to hiring Molly for my defense case. They had primed me to believe that had I decided to proceed to trial, I’d be found guilty ...and the punishment would be much worse than if I took the plea. Either way, I was told to prepare for some jail time. I was filled with fear as I am a single mother of two young children and the thought of going to jail simply crushed me. I knew that without counsel, I wouldn’t stand a chance against the Judge assigned to my case. She was known to pride herself on her harsh approach for prosecution. Time was not on my side as my case had aged nearly two years at this point. I knew with all certainty that I had to seek counsel that was indefatigable, pristine and professional. Simply stated, I needed the best of the best. That’s when I found Molly. I called her office late in the day, so I assumed I’d leave a message with her receptionist and hear back sometime later that week. That was not the case. Molly called me back immediately! I was over the moon. Her confidence absolutely enthralled me!! She arranged to meet with me that same week! In just a few hours she was able to turn chaos into order. She understood that we had a very short time frame to prepare for trial, but she assured me it was the right way to go. Her decorum was impressive to say the least. She was very thorough, clear and concise in her work. Not once was I left feeling uncertain. Her professionalism was impeccable. She returned every single one of my calls, emails, and texts, without hesitation. At each of my court dates, she was ready and waiting, she treated my time as something worth value. I never had to wait on her. There was one court date that Molly, unfortunately was in a car accident earlier that morning. I hadn't the slightest idea of things being in disarray as she, from the hospital, arranged to have a colleague of hers represent me in court that day! Even with her own problems, she put me, her client first. I was wowed by her invincibility! Through the series of unfortunate events, she never dropped the ball. She was back on my case within a week and ready to go to trail. I was so grateful! Molly never asked anything of me as she took on all the work herself, making me feel at ease. She made sure to take time to review things prior to the date of trial so that I'd surely be in the know. The day of trial I was a mess. I was more than nervous, but Molly has a way with words unlike any other. Within minutes she eased my anxiety and reassured me of the outcome being in my favor. Her positivity is absolutely infectious. I had all the faith in the world that Molly, through her hard work and dedication, would clear my name. Her fight in the courtroom completely wowed me! She was confident and strong. Her words flowed without a blunder. As court was in recess for lunch, Molly chose to spend the hour with me. She didn't sit with me to simply talk business. She lent an ear and heard me out while helping lighten the mood and the stresses of the day. She was not robotic or rehearsed. She was a person who truly showed that she cared and was expressively passionate about her work. Shortly after court resumed, the jury came back with the verdict of NOT GUILTY!!! I had no words other than THANK YOU! I was overjoyed! As Molly and I walked out of the courtroom, she hugged me and said "I knew we could do it!" but it was she that did it! Not only was Molly able to defend me from an unjust accusation, her calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most. My children and I are eternally grateful for her service and I hereby recommend Ms. Molly Jansen without reservation!
