Law Firm Marketing & Public Relations
Client Testimonials
Lorne Wolfson, Chair, Family Dispute Resolution Institute of Ontario (FDRIO)
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
I am the chair of the Family Dispute Resolution Institute of Ontario (FDRIO). In that capacity I have had the opportunity to work with Jana Schilder over the past three years. Jana was initially a volunteer serving on our marketing committee and was subsequently hired on contract to provide FDRIO with marketing advice and direction.
Jana provided marketing insight and advice to assist us in developing our membership, certifications, and conferences.
I found Jana to be extremely responsive to our organization’s needs. She developed plans and reports, attended meetings, and generated opportunities for us. She opened doors for us and created marketing opportunities that we would have been unable to develop without her assistance.
The quality and timeliness of her work was excellent.
I would be pleased to recommend Jana to other organizations looking for quality marketing advice and expertise.
Haig DeRusha, DeRusha Law Firm

Jana has helped our small law firm (4 lawyers), located in Mississauga, in enhancing and making our website more appealing and with a higher profile, analyzing our client base and looking at to whom we should be marketing, looking at our special skills and abilities, and focusing on the areas in which we can deliver the best service.
She is knowledgeable, dedicated and reliable. She is a pleasure to work with. We are lucky to have her available.
CLIENT: November 2016 to November 2017 (law firm turnaround)
Ray Mikkola, Pallett Valo LLP
Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
Jana Schilder has a great "nose for news." She consistently got me quoted in the right publications for my condominium law practice.
In September 2011, a property manager perpetrated a $20-million fraud on several condo buildings in Toronto. Jana got me several opportunities to write articles that both the Mississauga Business Times and Brampton Business Times were happy to print.
I wrote the articles as a public service, for both condo managers and condo Boards, of the symptoms of defrauding behaviour.
CLIENT: 2005 to mid-2011
Andrew Feldstein, Feldstein Family Law Group PC
Markham, Vaughan, Mississauga, Bloor West & Oakville, Ontario, Canada
Any PR person can get you one or two "media hits." But Jana Schilder knows public relations for law firms. And she knows mainstream media. To use the Wayne Gretzky analogy, "she knows where the puck is going."
Jana consistently gets us media hits, every month, keeping Feldstein Family Law Group in the media. Some months, it has been as many as 5 articles or interviews. For each of 2012 and 2013, she has averaged 40+ media interviews and news articles. And we are on track for 2014, too. That's extremely valuable for my business.
CLIENT: from 2011 to 2016
Jacob Jesin, Rotenberg Shidlowski Jesin
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
A large source of referrals to our criminal law firm are from lawyers who practice in other areas of law. Jana Schilder is working with us to improve our relationships with our existing referral sources, and to make introductions to new law firms in the Greater Toronto Area that lead to new opportunities and work.
She has a unique ability to build relationships very quickly and to point out mutual benefits. It is this ability that sparks an interest in new firms to reach out to us to learn how we can assist their clients.
That takes experience and talent.
CLIENT: 2014 to 2015
