Trust our recommendations for your case, as we are experienced litigators and know the best strategies for any legal matter.

  • “Mark provided exceptional legal defense!!”
    Mark provided exceptional legal defense!! He fought hard to get what we wanted...In his representation he was responsive, caring, and very thorough. He put myself as well as my family at ease thru the process and took his personal time to ensure our goals were met. The office staff also deserves enormous credit as they went above and beyond and too treated us like family. To say we would recommend him and his office doesn’t do them justice.....If you don’t talk to them you are making a mistake. They do the best job and you will be sorry if you don’t! Kudos to you Mark and your office we will be forever grateful for your hard work!!!!!

  • “Fabulous people and good at what they do.”
    Highly recommend. I had a very complicated case and found Chris Janelle and the staff to be exceptionally professional, thorough, detailed, and prepared every step of the way: at the investigation, each court date, and ultimately the outcome. They are people of integrity — and kindness, respecting my emotions throughout an emotionally difficult life change. Fabulous people and good at what they do.

  • “Chris was truly my advocate. He listens, asks good questions to understand the situation, and went the extra mile in helping me through a difficult situation.”
    Chris Janelle and his staff were fantastic to work with. From my first conversation with him, it was clear that Chris was truly my advocate. He listens, asks good questions to understand the situation, and went the extra mile in helping me through a difficult situation. I would recommend Chris without a moment's hesitation to anyone in need of a caring attorney in the Eastern Panhandle.
