About

As a litigation attorney for almost 30 years, I've seen access to the legal system become so expensive that it can be beyond the reach of many.It's more important than ever for lawyers to be strategic and cost-conscious in representing clients, to achieve the best possible result at a reasonable cost. This need is something I am acutely aware of at all stages of advising my clients. I offer a variety of fee options, including flat-fee contracts and contingency (percentage) fees, and I educate my clients from the beginning about the potential cost of handling their case. I believe strongly in mediating disputes whenever possible, both before and during litigation. Mediation lets you control the case outcome instead of leaving it up to a judge or jury. It's also confidential. I am certified as a mediator and give generously of my time as a volunteer mediator to the local court.My clients are average people, individuals and small business owners, who find themselves needing legal services in cases involving family inheritances; evictions; debt collection; injuries caused by others including car accidents; and landlord-tenant disputes. Many of my former clients remain my friends to this day, and I am honored that they refer their friends and family to me.I am committed to excellent and prompt communication with my clients, and to giving 100% of my ability to resolving their cases in an effective and economical manner. I invite you to call me to discuss a legal matter or about my practice in general. Thank you for taking the time to read my comments.

By far the best experience I've ever had legally. Highly recommend - knowledgable, accurate and highly efficient. It's rare to find someone so trustworthy and capable.

Jane was very prompt, efficient, and knowledgeable. A difficult process was made easy by her negotiating skills.

My family hired Ms. Bednar to help defend my brother from a lawsuit. My brother was incarcerated, and other attorneys we had contacted would not even listen to his case. After calling dozens of attorneys, Ms.Bednar was the ONLY one who took the time to listen carefully and understand our concerns. Throughout the year or so that we worked with her, we did not always see eye-to-eye, but she consistently demonstrated two critical qualities: First, she always let us know that she was listening carefully, and second, she was faithful to the statement on her website that she believed in the importance of working with her clients as a team. Lawyers have a reputation for being interested only in the almighty dollar, and I doubt there are many who work for free. Ms. Bednar charged a standard rate for attorneys in her area, but we never felt she was in any way dishonest or greedy. She kept careful accounts as to how our money was being spent, down to the minute, and she gave us clear monthly reports. Our final result was not a complete "win," but given the circumstances of the case, it was perhaps the best result we could have hoped for. I would definitely hire her again if I needed an attorney.

There's so much to say about this fine and experienced Attorney. She has compassion which is evident in how she assists her clients needs. Her attitude is one of " lets get what you didn't receive from perhaps a prior Attorney " and succeed as best as the system allows. Jane has a diverse background and this allows her to be an extraordinary person who listens to every small detail. She has real compassion for others who have been less than fortunate with their case in a court of law. She seeks justice for her clientele and is well versed to have a very professional approach when she addresses her mind / thoughts, and facts. She is strong willed and likes to have good consistent communication from A to Z with whatever she is helping to take care of or repair. I have a high rating of respect and admiration for this caring well equipped balanced pro. She is also quick to return calls and emails, which with anybody's legal case or other legal related matters, is essential.

Great lawyer. Highly recommended. She was attentive, personable, and worked for us. She did everything required to get us the maximum amount of money we were entitled to after my accident. An excellent attorney and a very nice person.

My brothers and I hired Jane to represent our mother in a case of elder abuse. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable and also very compassionate towards our mom. We got to know her very well and formed a lasting friendship. She also won the case! She is a great lawyer and wonderful person.

When you are looking to get the finest representation for your litigation dollars look no further than Jane Bednar. She is extremely sharp and very personable and capable of handling a wide variety of cases from simple to highly complex. But best of all, I found her to be very communicative and responsive to by inquiries, Moreover I found her billing practices to be extremely fair unlike some other firms in the area. Totally satisfied and will return to her again and again as needed. If you are looking to be treated fairly by your attorney - choose Jane.

Jane took my mother's case against her mortgage broker on a contingent fee basis after my family conducted a lengthy search, and no other lawyer would take the case. She filed the case, researched more about the law and the circumstances than I knew was possible, found written evidence that strengthened the case considerably, and led the deposition and mediation efforts with a sure hand, while sensibly keeping expenses down at every turn. Then, she held firm after the first offer or two, because she knew what was possible. The result was a much bigger settlement than we had initially hoped for, which helped my mother immeasurably, restoring her finances enough to afford to live, along with her modest retirement, for the rest of her life. In addition, Jane negotiated directly with the current mortgage holder to get long-term relief so that my mother could easily afford to keep her house on her limited income, none of which was included in Jane's fee. I don't know that any other lawyer could have, or more importantly, would have handled the case so well and with such care and generosity. I recommend her wholeheartedly to my friends and family, and I will call Jane first, should the need arise.

I live in Masschusetts, however, I had an aunt that lived in Pacific Grove, CA. When a step-daughter came to live with my aunt, all the provisions of her will started to change drastically. Within 9 months, three changes were made. My aunt has Alzheimer's. She had no idea what she was being told to sign. She was afraid of the step-daughter. The step-daughter's first act was to fire my aunt's lawyer. I was always involved in my aunt's personal matters, so her lawyer called me and advised me to contact another lawyer. The lawyer that I first spoke with, after hearing my case, told me that the best person for the job would be Jane Bednar. She was highly recommended to me as a great litigator. Jane worked hard for me and members of my family to get us most of the provisions from the original will. I thank God that the first lawyer recommended Jane Bednar. When you live 3000 away, communication is very important and I never had to worry about being informed. I would recommend Jane E. Bednar highly. She is a "10" in my book. Believe me, you won't be sorry.

Great lawyer. Highly recommended. She was attentive, personable, and worked for us. She did everything required to get us the maximum amount of money we were entitled to after my accident. An excellent attorney and a very nice person.

My brothers and I hired Jane to represent our mother in a case of elder abuse. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable and also very compassionate towards our mom. We got to know her very well and formed a lasting friendship. She also won the case! She is a great lawyer and wonderful person.

When you are looking to get the finest representation for your litigation dollars look no further than Jane Bednar. She is extremely sharp and very personable and capable of handling a wide variety of cases from simple to highly complex. But best of all, I found her to be very communicative and responsive to by inquiries, Moreover I found her billing practices to be extremely fair unlike some other firms in the area. Totally satisfied and will return to her again and again as needed. If you are looking to be treated fairly by your attorney - choose Jane.

Jane took my mother's case against her mortgage broker on a contingent fee basis after my family conducted a lengthy search, and no other lawyer would take the case. She filed the case, researched more about the law and the circumstances than I knew was possible, found written evidence that strengthened the case considerably, and led the deposition and mediation efforts with a sure hand, while sensibly keeping expenses down at every turn. Then, she held firm after the first offer or two, because she knew what was possible. The result was a much bigger settlement than we had initially hoped for, which helped my mother immeasurably, restoring her finances enough to afford to live, along with her modest retirement, for the rest of her life. In addition, Jane negotiated directly with the current mortgage holder to get long-term relief so that my mother could easily afford to keep her house on her limited income, none of which was included in Jane's fee. I don't know that any other lawyer could have, or more importantly, would have handled the case so well and with such care and generosity. I recommend her wholeheartedly to my friends and family, and I will call Jane first, should the need arise.

I live in Masschusetts, however, I had an aunt that lived in Pacific Grove, CA. When a step-daughter came to live with my aunt, all the provisions of her will started to change drastically. Within 9 months, three changes were made. My aunt has Alzheimer's. She had no idea what she was being told to sign. She was afraid of the step-daughter. The step-daughter's first act was to fire my aunt's lawyer. I was always involved in my aunt's personal matters, so her lawyer called me and advised me to contact another lawyer. The lawyer that I first spoke with, after hearing my case, told me that the best person for the job would be Jane Bednar. She was highly recommended to me as a great litigator. Jane worked hard for me and members of my family to get us most of the provisions from the original will. I thank God that the first lawyer recommended Jane Bednar. When you live 3000 away, communication is very important and I never had to worry about being informed. I would recommend Jane E. Bednar highly. She is a "10" in my book. Believe me, you won't be sorry.

By far the best experience I've ever had legally. Highly recommend - knowledgable, accurate and highly efficient. It's rare to find someone so trustworthy and capable.

My family hired Ms. Bednar to help defend my brother from a lawsuit. My brother was incarcerated, and other attorneys we had contacted would not even listen to his case. After calling dozens of attorneys, Ms.Bednar was the ONLY one who took the time to listen carefully and understand our concerns. Throughout the year or so that we worked with her, we did not always see eye-to-eye, but she consistently demonstrated two critical qualities: First, she always let us know that she was listening carefully, and second, she was faithful to the statement on her website that she believed in the importance of working with her clients as a team. Lawyers have a reputation for being interested only in the almighty dollar, and I doubt there are many who work for free. Ms. Bednar charged a standard rate for attorneys in her area, but we never felt she was in any way dishonest or greedy. She kept careful accounts as to how our money was being spent, down to the minute, and she gave us clear monthly reports. Our final result was not a complete "win," but given the circumstances of the case, it was perhaps the best result we could have hoped for. I would definitely hire her again if I needed an attorney.

There's so much to say about this fine and experienced Attorney. She has compassion which is evident in how she assists her clients needs. Her attitude is one of " lets get what you didn't receive from perhaps a prior Attorney " and succeed as best as the system allows. Jane has a diverse background and this allows her to be an extraordinary person who listens to every small detail. She has real compassion for others who have been less than fortunate with their case in a court of law. She seeks justice for her clientele and is well versed to have a very professional approach when she addresses her mind / thoughts, and facts. She is strong willed and likes to have good consistent communication from A to Z with whatever she is helping to take care of or repair. I have a high rating of respect and admiration for this caring well equipped balanced pro. She is also quick to return calls and emails, which with anybody's legal case or other legal related matters, is essential.

Ms. Bednar charged a standard rate for attorneys in her area, but we never felt she was in any way dishonest or greedy. She kept careful accounts as to how our money was being spent, down to the minute, and she gave us clear monthly reports. Our final result was not a complete "win," but given the circumstances of the case, it was perhaps the best result we could have hoped for. I would definitely hire her again if I needed an attorney.

There's so much to say about this fine and experienced Attorney. She has compassion which is evident in how she assists her clients needs. Her attitude is one of " lets get what you didn't receive from perhaps a prior Attorney " and succeed as best as the system allows. Jane has a diverse background and this allows her to be an extraordinary person who listens to every small detail. She has real compassion for others who have been less than fortunate with their case in a court of law. She seeks justice for her clientele and is well versed to have a very professional approach when she addresses her mind / thoughts, and facts. She is strong willed and likes to have good consistent communication from A to Z with whatever she is helping to take care of or repair. I have a high rating of respect and admiration for this caring well equipped balanced pro. She is also quick to return calls and emails, which with anybody's legal case or other legal related matters, is essential.

Great lawyer. Highly recommended. She was attentive, personable, and worked for us. She did everything required to get us the maximum amount of money we were entitled to after my accident. An excellent attorney and a very nice person.

My brothers and I hired Jane to represent our mother in a case of elder abuse. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable and also very compassionate towards our mom. We got to know her very well and formed a lasting friendship. She also won the case! She is a great lawyer and wonderful person.

When you are looking to get the finest representation for your litigation dollars look no further than Jane Bednar. She is extremely sharp and very personable and capable of handling a wide variety of cases from simple to highly complex. But best of all, I found her to be very communicative and responsive to by inquiries, Moreover I found her billing practices to be extremely fair unlike some other firms in the area. Totally satisfied and will return to her again and again as needed. If you are looking to be treated fairly by your attorney - choose Jane.

Jane took my mother's case against her mortgage broker on a contingent fee basis after my family conducted a lengthy search, and no other lawyer would take the case. She filed the case, researched more about the law and the circumstances than I knew was possible, found written evidence that strengthened the case considerably, and led the deposition and mediation efforts with a sure hand, while sensibly keeping expenses down at every turn. Then, she held firm after the first offer or two, because she knew what was possible. The result was a much bigger settlement than we had initially hoped for, which helped my mother immeasurably, restoring her finances enough to afford to live, along with her modest retirement, for the rest of her life. In addition, Jane negotiated directly with the current mortgage holder to get long-term relief so that my mother could easily afford to keep her house on her limited income, none of which was included in Jane's fee. I don't know that any other lawyer could have, or more importantly, would have handled the case so well and with such care and generosity. I recommend her wholeheartedly to my friends and family, and I will call Jane first, should the need arise.

I live in Masschusetts, however, I had an aunt that lived in Pacific Grove, CA. When a step-daughter came to live with my aunt, all the provisions of her will started to change drastically. Within 9 months, three changes were made. My aunt has Alzheimer's. She had no idea what she was being told to sign. She was afraid of the step-daughter. The step-daughter's first act was to fire my aunt's lawyer. I was always involved in my aunt's personal matters, so her lawyer called me and advised me to contact another lawyer. The lawyer that I first spoke with, after hearing my case, told me that the best person for the job would be Jane Bednar. She was highly recommended to me as a great litigator. Jane worked hard for me and members of my family to get us most of the provisions from the original will. I thank God that the first lawyer recommended Jane Bednar. When you live 3000 away, communication is very important and I never had to worry about being informed. I would recommend Jane E. Bednar highly. She is a "10" in my book. Believe me, you won't be sorry.
