Neil P. Jansen
My practice spans several areas of the law, and that’s something I enjoy. Clients often have concerns that don’t fit neatly into a single box and being cross-disciplined helps me recognize the different options and solutions available. It also gives me the opportunity to meet people of diverse backgrounds and avocations. The most rewarding aspect of my practice is meeting interesting people and helping them solve the challenges in their lives.
Away from work, I spend time with family and enjoy everything from the excitement of an outdoor adventure to the relaxation of reading a good book. Variety is truly the spice of life.
