Minute man

"Janet and team provided me with intelligent and purposeful guidance in dealing with a legal matter of grave consequence. All charges dismissed, and sealed, all rights restored. Do not take the system on yourself, it is not designed for true justice but for financial gain by county law enforcement agencies. Shut your mouth, and call Janet."

"Janet represented my son on a complicated DV offense. She was professional, motivated, and extremely patient with my son's difficulties. After a protracted period of court delays she finally resolved his case with an incredible plea vs the 10+ years asked for by the prosecutor. Never dropped the ball, easy to communicate with, and very competent, Janet saved my son's life in my estimation. She is the best attorney I have ever encountered and would recommend her without hesitation."

"if I could give zero Stars review, I would! This woman was assigned as public pretender, quickly turned out to be snake in the grass. BEWARE!! In fact, she rule 11'd me, which means she FILED to have me locked away for 3 months! The police are coming any second now to take me away, I kid you not! Who knows if I will ever be seen again law enforcement in this town are a nightmare! FN gestapo, which is why I'm running for Sheriff- the public needs to be protected from these bad actors! Even after I fired her June 21 AND INFORMED HER I'M HIRING MY OWN COUNSEL she continued actively conspiring with prosecutors to INVOLUNTARILY put me away in a state psychiatric facility for 3 months! Actually, she's conspiring with prosecutors - corrupt Laura Conover's office to silence me from speaking out against the HORRIFIC police brutality against us & my animals, who were cruelly and unlawfully seized, EVEN TORTURED in PCSD/PACC custody, to get more incriminating photographs to convict me for a long time! I provided proof, these people don't seem to care about animal cruelty when the police do it! Just ignored! Outrageous! instead of doing her job - she was supposed to file for a hearing for me to present my case to the judge to try to get it dismissed - & said she would file a motion based on my video & audio evidence that it was a false arrest, Pima Sheriffs tampered with & fabricated evidence, falsified the times of our arrest and covered up their misconduct by falsely reporting which is a crime ARS 13 2907.01. Instead,by her actions she is actively working with prosecutors and corrupt cops to put two innocent people away- me and Desert Storm veteran in prison! Janet is assisting prosecutors, who have been framing us for animal cruelty, a very serious offense! Janet's hare-brained, Crackpot, crackerjack strategy, she said, was to have me rendered "incompetent to stand trial" so then charges would be dropped!? MORE DEPRIVATION OF MY CIVIL RIGHTS, even my freedom! SHAME ON YOU JANET trying to destroy my reputation and RUIN me. Y'all are the insane ones, propping up criminals with badges. MORE DEFAMATION & PERSECUTION BY PIMA SHERIFFS & corrupt conover's PCAO. JANET, GO RETIRE YOU ARE LOUSY LAWYER. In fact all three of my public pretenders have been horrible, we have been deprived of fair Counsel and dragged through the courts almost a year now, and she did nothing to protect me. Or even the slightest thing to file a motion for dismissal. All she did was set a bench trial, when everybody knows that State prosecutors have a 90% conviction rate if they get you to go to trial! I'M SENDING A COPY OF THIS TO THE ARIZONA BAR ASSOCIATION"
