Biography

As a Board Certified Workers' Compensation Lawyer, I'm privileged to help injured workers obtain the medical and lost wage benefits they deserve after a valid injury at work. Only 3% of attorneys in Florida are board certified. Unlike other law firms, I enjoy communicating directly with my clients and never employ paralegals to maintain contact. My firm specializes in the litigation of workers' compensation claims, including complex medical issues, and will go to court to obtain the benefits that you're entitled to, as opposed to some firms which only are interested in obtaining a quick, cheap settlement. Many times injured employees are afraid to speak to a lawyer because they are undocumented, paid in cash or working off of the books. They may feel that they will be threatened with termination if they file for Workers’ Compensation benefits. I use my 25 years of expert experience to push through obstacles and obtain the evidence needed to pursue your valid claim.

Practicing law since 1992, Jane-Robin has exclusively represented injured workers in the prosecution benefits. Jane-Robin was first Board Certified in Workers' Compensation in 1999, with re-certification granted in 2004, 2009 and 2014. By the age of 29, she was a named partner in the renamed firm of Williams & Wender, P.A.. In 1999, she opened her own firm and continues to practice in Boca Raton. Jane-Robin previously served on the Florida Bar Workers' Compensation Board Certification Committee from 2008 to 2011 and served as the Chairperson of the Florida Bar Workers' Compensation Rules and Advisory Committee and still serves on this committee.
