Working with Ms. Hamilton is a blessing. Her knowledge of the courts and the law is extraordinary. Her compassion and ability to manage the emotions of involved parties was extremely helpful. She's the gold standard for lawyers
Janet is an amazingly smart and compassionate attorney. She has put her all into making sure my child stays in a safe home. I highly recommend hiring Janet, she gets great results by using her deep wealth of knowledge and integrity.
Janet went beyond meeting my expectations of a "good lawyer." Not even five minuets into the initial free consultation I knew I was in front of a lawyer with great integrity and genuine concern for me and my case. Janet was a master at keeping me at peace and free of anxiety through the year long process. She was articulate and patient in explaining the process, the what if's, timelines, etc. Her questioning to understand all the particulars of the case were thorough, leaving no base uncovered. I started looking for a lawyer that would best serve me and my case. I ended with a successful outcome and having made a genuine, life long friend. Janet is THE Best of the Best!
I can only say great things about my experience with Jan as my legal council. She is an excellent communicator, articulate in every way. She is very keen on getting to the very nub of an issue so that she understands it completely. I have worked with many attorneys over the course of my life and Jan is in the top percentile of legal minds and capabilities that I have worked with. If you want a great, not good resolution to your case, you cannot go wrong choosing Jan. Craig H.
What can i say? Janet is the aboslute best, worth every penny of my money, she made me feel like i was her only client and made me feel like ive known her all my life, she is an amazing attorney and just an amazing person in general, she is very honest and trustworthy, i would recommend her to anybody needing legal advise or representation, i would give more than 5 stars if possible
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
