The consummate problem solver, Jana’s been solving people-problems in corporate human resources management for the last decade.
Jana has also been an advocate for families and young people who need assistance since her early days as a professional for the YMCA and later as a Guardian ad Litem (GAL).
Whether student or family or business problems, Jana listens closely to understand her clients’ individual situations so she can deliver tailored legal results that meet their needs.
