5 /5 Shannon Jordan: Insight is a lesson I learned. I had a big name attorney in the area that after years of them representing me, learned their goal was to overcharge and hold up proceedings until they were paid that by doing so negatively impacted my child and my life and was years of mental anguish, stress, fear that amounted to the true cost and that attorney did not care one bit. Janel stepped onto my cases and from day one- was realistic with goals, learned the cases in all its years details so she could speak to all previous outstanding items and areas not addressed, she was respectful of the other party in court and was well prepared to bring the judge to the key issues and root of the problems. Edwardsville community I have been in the court system for many years, I have dealt with many attorney’s and judges and I tell my neighbors, family and friend if you want an attorney that puts your goal ahead of what a final bill could be, Janel freeman law office is who you want. Her heart goes into her cases and her clients, she is human and she represents that way. Something you will not find often with lawyers. I can not say loud enough that her intelligence is top notch, she knows the law and she is experienced in the court room and proceedings but what makes her the one of the best attorneys in our area is her integrities, morals and character. I consider Janel Freeman one of the rare gems in the legal system—when it comes to our children I think every parent would say they they would rather select an attorney who’s goal of representing you is to do the best for you and your children rather than your attorneys only goal to be how much they can make off of you and your situation.
