Bio
Nina LaFleur
I would highly recommend Jane West! Fabulous attorney and great woman! So proud to be working with her on the St. Johns Association for Women Lawyers.
Diana Upson
Shortly after moving to the state, Jane was able to quickly establish herself at CLF as someone who would do everything it takes to achieve a goal. She was immediately embraced by the environmental community because she is honest, intelligent and dedicated. Jane was able to bring together individuals of varied perspectives and help them understand how they can work together for mutual benefit. She works well in a team and individually, finding the best way to get things done. All this while raising two small children, and always finding time to genuinely care about her coworkers. Anyone who works with Jane will find themselves better off for having done so.
