After having a horrible experience with my former attorney Maria was informative, called me back everytime I had a question and treated me like a person not a dollar sign. I hope I never need a lawyer again but if I do she would be my first choice. Thank you for showing me lawyers can be personable. Made my experience not stressful.

My case was for an auto accident injury involving a hit and run driver. I did not know what to expect as it was my first time needing to use legal services but Maria was very helpful with providing guidance, clearly explaining the legal terms and what to expect throughout the whole process. Maria was very professional, always available to answer questions and provide objective legal advice. There were some complexities to the case but Maria worked diligently on the case, went above and beyond and did not stop until I got a fair result. I would definitely recommend Maria!

This was our first time needing a lawyer to help with an accident claim. We chose Maria based on a recommendation from another lawyer who is a friend and doesn't handle insuracne claims. Working with Maria was great as she explained the process well, handled all the details for us, and acted in our best interest to achieve what I believe to be the best and fair outcome. Thanks Maria!

I had the distinct pleasure of retaining Maria C. Janoski as local counsel in a contentious civil litigation matter. Not only did Ms. Janoski exhibit a high-level knowledge of the subject matter, it was also clear to me that she was very familiar with the operations of the local courts, as well as the judges and staff. Even more so, Ms. Janoski knew and used the "chess game" strategies of adversarial litigation to effect a fantastic win for our mutual client. Thank you, Ms. Janoski!

Maria did an excellent job in preparing my personal injury case against a home health company who had been very negligent in caring for my husband, causing him to fall and break his femur. He had to have surgery and spent 2 months in a rehab Facility. He came home in a wheelchair and was seriously debilitated. Maria kept me posted as she worked through every detail of this lawsuit. She responded promptly to any calls or emails from me. She negotiated a fair and equitable settlement to this case

I hope you never need a personal injury attorney. Yet, sometimes accidents happen. I found myself in just that situation. Maria Janoski was recommended to me by another attorney, which is always a good sign. I went with Maria and it was the best decision. She truly listens. She considers all facets of a case. To say that Maria really knows the law is an understatement. She was up-to-date and had knowledge of recent case law that applied to my case. Maria walked me through the steps of litigation, patiently explaining anything I didn't quite understand. She was accessible, answering texts or calls promptly. The one thing that I will say about Maria, which isn't often said about attorneys in general, is that she is compassionate. She truly cares about her clients. She is honest and respectful in all her dealings. Finally, with the 2020 pandemic, the legal system was pretty much put on hold for civil cases, yet Maria was able to keep my case moving forward. We settled the case with no need to go to court, which is always a win-win situation, in my opinion. So, if you ever need a PI attorney, consider Maria Janoski, Esq. You won't be disappointed.

I consulted Maria on an employment/labor issue. I found her to be professional and supporting. She took my case and got me a favorable settlement in a acceptable period of time. I would definitely recommend and trust her to handle any matters requiring a skilled lawyer.

I had a slip and fall head and eye injury in a restaurant back in early 2017. Upon my release from the hospital, I contacted the restaurant about paying for my medical bills and they were not willing to pay them since no one else reported a slippery floor that day even though a colleague of mine was willing to corroborate my claim. She had also slipped on the floor in the same place but didn't fall down due to the fact that she was wearing nurses shoes. Since I didn't feel it was fair for the restaurant to dismiss me so readily, especially after all I had gone through with a concussion, severe headaches, and deep lacerations above my eye causing a number of eye issues, I decided to hire an attorney. I had never hired a lawyer before and wasn't sure how to go about finding the right one. Maria came highly recommended from another attorney I know who does not deal with slip and fall cases. Maria was extremely thorough and persistent with my case, even when the restaurant filed for bankruptcy about a year after my fall. She continued to work diligently on my case and always kept me apprised on the status. After over 3 years of working on my case, she called me to let me know that the restaurant was ready to settle. I am very appreciative of Maria's diligence and tenacity to see my case through - she did not ever even think about giving up and I am very thankful.
