About Drendel & Jansons Law Group

Professionals with a personal touch incorporating tradition on the cutting edge.

We provide legal services to local businesses and families. We are personable, responsive, and trustworthy. We not only represent local community members, we are also involved in the local community.

We know and understand our clients' needs and goals. We work diligently to protect clients' interests, to reduce and eliminate liabilities, to give thoughtful counsel and advice, to plan for the future, and to minimize liabilities from the past.

We practice in many areas of the law. We do business and corporate law, including corporate and LLC formation, providing general counsel to businesses, reviewing, drafting and negotiating all types of contracts, handling sales and acquisitions, etc. We even have a program for ongoing, unlimited advice for $50 a month ($500 a year) -- the Business Call In Program.

We practice family law, including divorce, child support, spousal support, adoptions, guardianships, etc.

We do real estate law, including sales and purchases, residential and commercial, land use and development, zoning, and just about anything having anything to do with real estate.

We do estate planning and administration, including drafting wills, trusts, powers of attorney, living wills, etc. We handle the administration of estates, including probate administration, guardianship, and trust administration.

We do other things that are too many to list in this short space. If we do not do it, we know someone who does. We maintain close relationships with other attorneys and professionals who do things we do not do. These are people that we implicitly trust. We would not refer anyone to someone we would not trust with our own matters.

- Family Law, including Divorce, Custody, Support, Paternity, Visitation, Maintenance and Adoptions

Hired Attorney Mark D. Brent

Mr. Brent appears to be a good lawyer, but he constantly misses commitments and is very defensive. He is not client focused and his staff provides different reasons why activities are not complete then what Mr. Brent may inform you. Be prepared to check up on missing documents if you don't get them when he says you will. He seems disorganized.

Hired Attorney Mark D. Brent

Mark was Horrible , and incompetent. Very rude and lazy . Never would recommend . The attitude made it hard to even reach out , and I felt as though I was judged during the consultation. I would like to know how many cases he’s dealt with and actually won .
