How Can I Help You
Navigating the legal system can be difficult.
Let me help arm you with the information you need to make an informed decision.
Our Practice Areas
If your matter requires litigation, don't walk into Court alone. Let me advocate for you in a court system that I am very familiar with. Courtroom procedures, timelines, and tactics matter, and having an experienced lawyer by your side can make all the difference in the outcome. Don't fall prey to bully lawyers who may try taking advantage of you during settlement meetings or efforts to resolve outside of Court. Negotiation is a skill, and I will make sure your voice is heard and your rights are protected at every stage of the process.
Divorce Law
Separation and divorce is one of the most stressful experiences a person faces, especially when children, property, support, and emotions are involved. Do not navigate that process alone. I help Albertans protect what matters most while guiding them through every stage of family law matters with clear advice and strong advocacy. Whether negotiating a fair settlement, creating parenting arrangements, dividing assets, or appearing in Court, I will stand beside you. Since every family situation is different, I build strategies tailored to your circumstances.
Criminal Law
Defending Albertans is what I do. The Court process is difficult enough without having to guess what comes next, which is why I work closely with my clients to ensure they understand their rights and options every step of the way.
From appearing in Court, reviewing disclosure, speaking with prosecutors, conducting bail hearings and trials, filing constitutional arguments, and advocating during sentencing, I will handle every stage of your matter. Regardless of the charges you face, I will work to protect your rights, your reputation, and your future.

Why Jarrah Law?
The Justice System is
Difficult to Navigate
I see it all the time; people struggling to understand the court process and struggling for access justice. Despite the efforts made to improve the System’s functions, we are a long way from it being an easy process. The truth is, the System is not supposed to be an easy process.
I know how to navigate the Justice System because I work within it everyday. I am tuned into the court process and know its functions. I have appeared in Alberta at the Provincial Court, Court of King’s Bench, Court of Appeal and Federal Court of Canada. Whether negotiating a settlement or battling it out in Court you need know how, experience and guidance. I offer all of that and then some. With my insights, I apply it to your case to aim for the best outcome.
I also Provide:

Jarrah Law
History
2013
In October Janan Jarrah begins operating as a sole practitioner in Edmonton Scotia Tower under the trade name, eLaw Alliance. A year later the firm hires a student lawyer who eventually transitions to the firm’s first junior associate. A short time later the firm hires another student lawyer. That student lawyer becomes an associate and the firm hires an office manager and the entire team moves into their own office space in Icon Tower II in the heart of downtown Edmonton. The team starts creating legal videos on various topics related to family law, criminal law and child welfare law.
2020
Changes to staffing occur and the team changes due to lawyer relocations to other cities and areas of practice. Janan Jarrah, the founding member, continues her tradition of mentoring student lawyers, while working hard to be the top law firm in Edmonton.
2026
Janan Jarrah rebrands her firm as Jarrah Law to reflect what truly sets it apart: her reputation as a seasoned trial lawyer with almost 20 years of experience and a relentless commitment to advocacy. This shift signals a clear focus on delivering high-level legal representation led directly by Janan herself. While supported by a capable team, every client who chooses Jarrah Law can expect hands-on involvement, strategic insight, and the confidence that their case is being guided by an experienced litigator who knows how to fight and win where it matters most - in the courtroom.

My Why
I have witnessed first hand what the absence of strong, professional advocacy can have on people embroiled in the Justice System. I have witnessed first hand the catastrophic impact the Justice System can have on a person’s life and future. Justice is not automatic, I know full well that Justice has to be sought out; rarely does it simply occur on its own with no intervention from helpers.
I stick up for people and help people navigate the justice system because I care about Albertans. I am not just a divorce lawyer practising in Alberta; I am a person born and raised in Edmonton and consider it my home and community and I care about my community. Practising law is not worth it, if it doesn’t involve helping people and adding value to their lives.
Bullies will take advantage of people involved in the justice system; that is a fact. Whether that bully is opposing counsel on the other side of a divorce file, the police and crown prosecutor or child welfare agents, those bullies exist and can be hard for the average Albertan to handle on their own. I believe that every Albertan deserves to have someone back them up and stick up for them. It’s what I love to do. It doesn’t hurt to have extra muscle in your corner when taking on the bullies that are found within the justice system.
