Overview
Janis Pelletier is an associate in our Tempe office. She has a diverse personal and legal background. Janis spent time right out of law school as a criminal defense attorney. Thereafter, she transitioned to civil practice, mainly insurance defense, in Arizona and then to practice in Washington State. Missing her sunny home state, Janis returned to Arizona after seven years where she later added Realtor® to her list of credentials. Janis has always loved property law and her experience as a Realtor® brings invaluable insight to real-estate related cases. This dual perspective has shaped her ability to navigate complex legal and transactional matters, offering clients a well-rounded approach to problem-solving. Janis thrives on the intellectual challenges of the law and leverages the positivity and determination she developed in sales to achieve favorable outcomes for her clients. Janis’ experience positions her perfectly to develop the Firm’s representation of real estate brokers, agents, and others within the real estate realm.
Personally, Janis has lived and traveled extensively in Europe. She has engaged in her community, serving for a number of years as a commission on the Phoenix Women’s Commission. She is also an active member of the Real Property Section of the Arizona Bar Association. Her involvement reflects her commitment to advancing issues that matter both professionally and socially. Clients trust Janis for her analytical skills, strategic negotiating abilities, and extensive knowledge of contract law, premises liability, real estate agency standards, and construction litigation. Her comprehensive legal background instills confidence and ensures clients receive sound advice and effective representation.
In her spare time, Janis loves fine dining, travel, history, and hanging with her friends.
