JANET L. HAMILTON, PLLC




Janet L. Hamilton has over 30 years experience
successfully pursuing and defending personal injury and wrongful death claims in all state and federal courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court.




When someone else's negligent actions cause you injury or illness, the law entitles you to take legal action against the wrongdoer. Medical bills, missing wages, physical pain and emotional trauma, fear, embarrassment, shock and loss of social pleasures are all common damages associated with personal injury cases. If someone caused you injury, you will need a skilled attorney to guide you through the process required for receiving just compensation.




Our firm represents individuals who have been injured or have lost a loved one due to someone else’s careless or negligent behavior. Depending on the specific circumstances involved in your case, we may be able to help you recover compensation for all of the following, and more:

  • Medical bills             
  • Lost income​​​​​​​
  • Construction accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Dog bite claims
  • Boating accidents
