She is a seasoned litigator, with experience at all levels of court in British Columbia, including appearances before regulatory and administrative tribunals in both B.C. and Ontario.

She believes in transparent communication and treats her clients with the utmost respect. She ensures they understand their rights and works tirelessly to secure the most favourable outcome, providing the strategic advice and strong advocacy they need and deserve.

Law isn’t Janessa’s only passion — outside of work, you may find her travelling the world with her husband, gardening, volunteering or enjoying a glass of wine.
