Janice May, Associate
Janice
May’s first steps in the practice of law thrust her into the challenging
arena of government property taxation and collection. Well-versed in
the art of compromise and negotiation, Ms. May’s concentration soon
shifted to commercial litigation, where her attention to detail and
quick grasp of legal principals rapidly evolved into an expertise for
developing case and trial strategy when negotiation failed. Her
international travels have allowed Ms. May to become familiar with
diverse areas, including the Environmental Protection Act and Canadian
family, class action, personal injury, fair housing, immigration, and
Charter (constitutional) law. As the point woman, Ms. May has proven
to be a skillful advocate and negotiator who develops connections and
not just contacts.
Ms. May earned her law degree from Texas Wesleyan University School of Law in 2002. Prior to attending law school, Ms. May earned a degree in government from the University of Texas at Austin.
Ms. May’s primary areas of practice include Civil Litigation, Deceptive Trade Practices, Family Law, Juvenile Law and Immigration.
Ms. May is a member of the Tarrant County Bar Association, Arlington Bar Association, American Immigration Lawyers’ Association, and the State Bar of Texas. Ms. May is admitted to practice in all State Courts and the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas.
