Jeannette Witten
490 Calle Principal, Monterey, 375-3151
Jeannette Witten is a stealth superhero to her clients—a relentless advocate and savvy attorney who specializes in corporate law and transactions. Sound snoozy? Not if you’re the client, for example, who completed a $38.5 million acquisition in 2014, thanks to Witten’s guidance. And when she’s not working on the big business side of law (mergers and acquisitions, securities, intellectual property and the like), she’s working with the little guy, lending her pro bono skills to foster children, health care advocacy and environmental nonprofits. There should be a Witten-signal, a la Batman: Shine a light, she throws on her business suit and comes to the rescue. And rescue she does: It’s why she’s been voted the Best Attorney five years in a row.
