Perennial. There’s a word to describe Jeannette Witten’s place on this list. As in, she is perennially named the Best Attorney in Monterey County (at least since 2012). Witten specializes in transaction law, including securities, mergers and acquisitions, trademark and copyright and estate planning. She knows the law of grapes (once they’re made into wine, anyway) and launched the Wine Law Decanted blog. She volunteers, she moms, she runs marathons. Next up, she leaps tall buildings in a single… no, strike that. Next up, she continues winning accolades and continues fiercely advocating for her clients.
