How important are my clients? So important that I answer my own telephone and e-mails. An answer to your question or a solution to your problem means we both are successful.
I founded Janice E. Garlitz, P.C. in May 1992 to offer my knowledge, my expertise and my creativity to clients directly and responsively. I am passionate about what I do. I am passionate about my clients and what each of you do.
Every morning I see the diploma in my office: Janice Elizabeth Garlitz is an Attorney and Counsellor at Law. What does that mean? An Attorney is appointed to represent; a Counsellor advises. Each day I strive to represent my clients by providing them with the best legal and practical advice. I strive to meet and exceed their expectations. Every evening I ask myself one question: did I achieve that goal today for my clients?
Each client is unique. Each client receives direct, personal responses.
100% of my clients are from referrals by other satisfied clients. So how important are my clients? So important that I answer my own telephone and e-mails.
