Ever wondered what makes a truly effective family law attorney? In this candid conversation with Charlotte native Jana K Jones, we explore a refreshingly different approach to divorce and custody matters. With 16 years of experience practicing exclusively in Mecklenburg County, Jana shares how her sociology background and personal experiences shaped her unique perspective on family law.
Forget the stereotypical "shark" attorney. Jana's philosophy centers on being solution-oriented rather than combative, helping clients navigate the emotional and financial complexities of family transitions with clarity and purpose. She explains her innovative flat fee structure that allows clients to budget for legal expenses without the anxiety of unpredictable hourly billing. "Most of my clients just want to get to the other side," she explains, emphasizing her focus on practical outcomes over prolonged battles.
As a passionate advocate for fathers' rights, Jana discusses why ensuring equal representation matters in family court and offers invaluable advice for men facing divorce or custody issues. She emphasizes the importance of early consultation: "Knowledge is power. Even if you're not ready to go down the road of divorce yet, but you're feeling like it might go in that direction, it's important to get the information." Her intimate knowledge of Mecklenburg County's local rules and judicial tendencies provides clients with strategic advantages when navigating the system.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Good Neighbor Podcast, the place
where local businesses andneighbors come together.
Here's your host, Regina Lee.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of
the Good Neighbor Podcast.
I'm here in Charlotte and myfavorite thing to do is talk to
local business owners, and todayI'm super excited to speak to
Jana K Jones.
Jonna is a family law attorneyhere in Charlotte.
She's been in practice 16 yearsand, jonna, you are a Charlotte
native.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Yes, I am One of the unicorns.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
You are you know it is rare, but I am meeting more
and more and it's so fun.
So you know, when you lookaround at this city it's just
crazy how much we've grown.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Absolutely.
This is definitely not thesmall town that I feel like I
grew up in, exactly.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah, I think you went to East Meck, so I think
we're through like five highschools back then Exactly yeah,
there are high schools that I'venever even heard of now, and to
have two in Ballantyne, whereI've been, it's just crazy,
crazy.
Well, first I want tocompliment you on your website,
Jana AK Jones PLLC Law Office.
(01:09):
It is wonderful.
It's very informative.
It just helps someone navigateeverything if they're getting
ready to go through a divorce.
But let's start.
How did you get into law?
I know you went to UNC, ChapelHill.
That's amazing Dean's List mygoodness.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
So how did you decide law was for you?
Well, you know, it's funny, Ihave always wanted to be a
lawyer, since I could rememberwhat I wanted to do and my
inspiration came from FeliciaRichard on the Cosby Show.
I thought she was the epitomeof class and her little witty
comebacks and I was just like,oh, she's a lawyer, I want to be
a lawyer.
And then my family encouragedit, because pretty much any time
(01:53):
they brought something up, Iwas asking questions about it.
I wanted to delve deeper.
I challenged folks on thingsthat they didn't expect me to
challenge them on and they said,yeah, you probably should be a
lawyer.
So from the time I can rememberI knew I was going to become an
attorney.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
So you studied sociology.
Is that a typical steppingstone to become a lawyer?
How did you switch gears?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Yeah.
So I wouldn't say itnecessarily is, I think because
I knew I wanted to be a lawyer,I said let me have some fun in
undergrad and learn somethingthat's interesting to me,
because I know law school isprobably going to be pretty
tough.
So I took a bunch of courses myfreshman year and one of them
was the introduction forsociology and I found it
fascinating.
I think people are veryinteresting.
(02:38):
I think that now in hindsightit was great preparation for
becoming an attorney maybe notspecifically law school, but
definitely for becoming anattorney and specifically a
family law attorney, because Iunderstand how people as a group
in general think.
So I understand kind of theplight in general of people
going through divorce or peoplewho are going through custody
(02:59):
issues.
I think more from a perspectivefrom that sociology background
than maybe some other attorneyswho did a more traditional
political science approach.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Okay, that's the other one, political science.
I couldn't remember that.
Well you are a mediator.
I mean, there's so manycomponents to family law.
Why don't you kind of take usthrough some of the key services
you offer?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Why don't you kind of take us through some of the key
services you offer?
Yeah, so I definitely dorepresentation in mediations,
but I don't actually mediatecases.
So there's a little bit ofdistinction there.
So a mediator themselves theymay be a family law attorney,
but they are not actuallyrepresenting either party.
They are just working with theparties and their attorneys, if
they have them, to try to helpfacilitate an agreement.
(03:43):
The work that I do is torepresent a party, so I'm always
representing one spouse or oneparent or the other.
I don't actually do themediations, but I do represent
people in a mediation setting.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
So child support custody, the actual divorce
itself, you do all of that.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Exactly so.
Custody when it comes toestablishing custody or
modifying it once an order'salready been entered.
Child support, whether that'sestablishment or some type of
modification, enforcement oforders.
So if somebody is violating aprovision of the custody or the
child support order, I handlethat type of work.
And then on the divorce side, Ihandle contested divorces.
(04:24):
So that's going to be equitabledistribution and alimony and
there may be custody and childsupport components to that as
well.
And I also help people withseparation agreements, which is
going to be a less adversarialway to deal with the things
related to your divorce orproperty settlement, alimony,
custody, child support issues,as well as preparation for
(04:45):
marriage.
So prenuptial agreements orseparation agreements or
postnuptial agreements.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Wow wow.
That is a lot and all of thathas touched really all of us.
Sadly, that is a big part.
One thing that stood out for meon your website is you really
stand up for father's rights.
Absolutely Share with us whatthat means to you.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah, so my parents had a really rough marriage.
They stayed married for a longtime but it was not a happy
marriage and my father, candidly, was not a good husband, but he
was a great father to me.
He had other children I don'tknow that they would say the
same but he was a great dad tome and a big part of why I had
the kind of gumption to go outand become an attorney, because
(05:33):
neither of my parents went tocollege.
I'm kind of a first generationwith that, so to go to not only
college but to graduate school,to law school, was kind of a big
jump for me and my family, andso I think that the role that my
father played was reallyinstrumental in that.
I think it played a big role inthe relationships I've been
married now It'll be 13 years inDecember to a wonderful man and
(05:56):
I am actually a second wife.
I'm not his first wife,hopefully, I'm his last, but you
know.
So I know what that can looklike from a father perspective,
a husband perspective, both as achild, as you know, an adult,
and so I just know kind of whatmen are going through and I feel
like they need representationTraditionally in family law.
(06:19):
This is kind of the one placethat women tend to have the
upper hand, and I'm just tryingto level the playing field and
make sure that fathers get therepresentation that they deserve
.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Well, one thing I read on your website fathers
have the same rights as mothersand I thought that was shocking.
A shocking statement, becauseright over the South Carolina
line you know it's a differentballgame.
I have some experience there.
So North Carolina law, and Ibelieve you told me you
specifically stay in MecklenburgCounty.
(06:48):
Tell us why you do that.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Yeah, so every county in North Carolina has their own
local rules, which you know.
The statute governs the law ofthe land in North Carolina, but
local rules will govern howfamily court operates, and you
need to know both when you'regoing through divorce and
custody issues, and I think it'simportant to know those things
well, and it's going to be verydifficult to know local rules
(07:12):
all over the state.
Additionally, every county hastheir own judges, and to know
your judge is important as well,because what may play in one
courtroom with one judge may notplay in another courtroom with
a different judge, and I thinkknowing that kind of information
helps you strategize with whatyou're going to do with your
case.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
So what sets you apart?
You gave me a comment before wegot on air which I thought was
amazing about.
You know how you handle and goafter these cases.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah.
So I think that you know peoplecommonly say, oh, I want a
shark, or I want someone who'ssuper aggressive or a pit bull.
I don't subscribe to any ofthat.
I'm a human being, I'm not ananimal, so I do not refer to
myself as such, but I do thinkthat it's important to have
someone who's knowledgeable andsomeone who's strategic, and so
(08:10):
I am not the type of attorneythat you hire.
If you're just looking to fightfor the sake of fighting, I
have no problem saying that.
If that's what you're lookingfor, I'm not your girl.
I am solution oriented.
When you're coming to me, mostof my clients just want to get
to the other side.
Frankly, they don't want tohave to hire me, they just want
to move on with their life.
You know, and that is what I'mabout I'm solution oriented.
Another thing that's kind ofunique about me is that I do
(08:31):
flat fees, so most attorneysbill by the hour.
They're going to ask for acertain amount of money.
They're going to put it intheir trust account.
They're going to put it intheir trust account, they're
going to bill against it, orthey're going to hold that money
and then bill you on top of itand then if you run low or you
run out or you don't meet theirthreshold and they're going to
withdraw from your caseregardless of where you are in
the case, and that can makethings really difficult for
(08:53):
people.
I believe it's super importantto try to be able to budget for
this expense, and it isexpensive Divorce and custody
issues are expensive but to theextent that I can help people be
able to budget for it, that'swhat I try to do.
So over the 16 years I've beenpracticing, I've come to
understand in general what casesmay cost, and so I've set up my
(09:16):
flat fee structure accordingly,and it just allows people to
know what they're going to getcoming into the case and when
they can expect things to change, and then they can plan
accordingly.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
So when you meet with someone initially for a consult
, are you able to determine thatupfront, or does it take some
digging for you to know whatthat fee is?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
So generally I can quote some type of fee upfront,
whether it's a monthlysubscription amount or it's up
to a certain stage of the case.
But there will be times where,because of the complexity of the
case or the type of case it is,that I couldn't quote them the
entire case.
It's very rare that I can dothat.
Generally, the only place thatI'm doing a full, flat fee up
(09:58):
front, with no additional feesthat would come up for any
reason, would be an uncontestedor an absolute divorce.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Gotcha.
So if someone's listening andthey're just, you know they're
headed down that path.
What advice do you givelisteners to find the right
attorney, the right firm to workwith, because you don't want to
get halfway in and then go theright firm to work with because
you don't?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
want to get halfway in and then go oh, I got the
wrong person, right, right.
So I think it's reallyimportant to ask questions in
your consultation about kind ofthe attorney's approach and
making sure that what you'reultimately wanting to get out of
the case is aligned with howthat attorney operates.
So, for instance, I'm of themindset that, again, you're
wanting to get to the other side.
(10:45):
It's important to make informeddecisions, but that doesn't
mean that everything is worthfighting about.
So I may have someone who comesin and we have an estate that's
considerable and it's going tobe complex and it's going to
take some time to get through,to find out what that true 50-50
split is, and they just don'thave the time, energy, money,
(11:07):
resources, bandwidth, et ceterato go down that road.
Well then, we can talk aboutsome strategies, about getting
maybe something.
Maybe we are leaving somethingon the table, but it's enough
for you to feel satisfied and tomove on with your life.
Some attorneys are not going tobe willing to take that approach
.
They just going to want tofight, fight, fight and get to
that 50% mark.
My mindset is I take the leadof my client and if you're
(11:29):
telling me I just can't do it.
I just want this to be over.
What can we try to do to getthis resolved?
It's going to really be my goalto get it resolved for you.
I'm not looking for ways tonickel and dime you.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
That's amazing.
So advice to the fellows outthere since you are an advocate
for their rights, what advicewould you give men in finding
the path they should take?
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Yeah.
So I'd say the most importantthing that I can tell the
gentleman is get a consultation.
So I'd say the most importantthing that I can tell the
gentleman is get a consultation.
Unfortunately, a lot of fathersand husbands come to me after
things have already gottenstarted and we're behind the
eight ball and it's you know.
There's an old saying thatknowledge is power.
Even if you're not ready to godown the road of divorce yet,
(12:16):
but you're feeling like it mightgo in that direction, it's
important to get the information.
Doing a consultation does notmean that you have to hire the
attorney and get started goingdown that road.
It just means that you'regetting the information so that
you can make informed decisionsin the future.
So that's my biggest piece ofadvice is to get a consultation.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
And for a consultation with you is there a
fee involved?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
There is, yes, I have two options.
I have a phone option and Ihave an in-person option.
So when you call into my firmthey'll talk to you about the
fees associated with that andget you signed up.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Gotcha.
Well, this is amazing.
You are a very smart woman andI can see why you're so
successful, so tell ourlisteners how they can find you,

So from the time I can rememberI knew I was going to become an

Speaker 2 (02:09):
So you studied sociology.
Is that a typical steppingstone to become a lawyer?
How did you switch gears?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Yeah.
So I wouldn't say itnecessarily is, I think because

Speaker 3 (03:23):

but I don't actually mediatecases.
So there's a little bit ofdistinction there.
So a mediator themselves theymay be a family law attorney,

They are just working with theparties and their attorneys, if

(04:24):

going to be a less adversarialway to deal with the things
related to your divorce orproperty settlement, alimony,
custody, child support issues,as well as preparation for
(04:45):

So prenuptial agreements orseparation agreements or

you don't?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
want to get halfway in and then go oh, I got the
wrong person, right, right.
So I think it's reallyimportant to ask questions in
your consultation about kind ofthe attorney's approach and
making sure that what you'reultimately wanting to get out of
the case is aligned with howthat attorney operates.
So, for instance, I'm of themindset that, again, you're
wanting to get to the other side.
(10:45):
It's important to make informeddecisions, but that doesn't
mean that everything is worthfighting about.
So I may have someone who comesin and we have an estate that's
considerable and it's going tobe complex and it's going to
take some time to get through,to find out what that true 50-50
split is, and they just don'thave the time, energy, money,
(11:07):
resources, bandwidth, et ceterato go down that road.
Well then, we can talk aboutsome strategies, about getting
maybe something.
Maybe we are leaving somethingon the table, but it's enough
for you to feel satisfied and tomove on with your life.
Some attorneys are not going tobe willing to take that approach
.
They just going to want tofight, fight, fight and get to
that 50% mark.
My mindset is I take the leadof my client and if you're
(11:29):
telling me I just can't do it.
I just want this to be over.
What can we try to do to getthis resolved?
It's going to really be my goalto get it resolved for you.
I'm not looking for ways tonickel and dime you.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
That's amazing.
So advice to the fellows outthere since you are an advocate
for their rights, what advicewould you give men in finding
the path they should take?
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Yeah.
So I'd say the most importantthing that I can tell the
gentleman is get a consultation.
So I'd say the most importantthing that I can tell the

Unfortunately, a lot of fathersand husbands come to me after
things have already gottenstarted and we're behind the
eight ball and it's you know.
There's an old saying thatknowledge is power.
Even if you're not ready to godown the road of divorce yet,
(12:16):
but you're feeling like it mightgo in that direction, it's
important to get the information.
Doing a consultation does notmean that you have to hire the
attorney and get started goingdown that road.
It just means that you'regetting the information so that
you can make informed decisionsin the future.
So that's my biggest piece ofadvice is to get a consultation.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
And for a consultation with you is there a
fee involved?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
There is, yes, I have two options.
I have a phone option and Ihave an in-person option.
So when you call into my firmthey'll talk to you about the
fees associated with that andget you signed up.
