This strategic alliance will allow the vast experience of attorneys in both firm's offices to serve the Orange and Volusia County areas with the highest degree of legal talent . "I am so pleased to bring this tremendous depth of full-service legal experience to my clients," says Martinez who services clients across East Central Florida. ShuffieldLowman firm principal Bill Lowman says, "We are thrilled to welcome Janet, as it is very important for transactional, tax and other business clients to have the services of such an experienced attorney to best care for their legal concerns. Janet will be on-site as-needed to work with our attorneys and paralegals on our clients’ issues.

Lowman, Jr. Especially noted for her leadership in the Volusia and Flagler communities, including serving as the Treasurer of the Volusia United Way Women’s Initiative, the President of the Volusia County Women’s Network, and as a member of the Latino Advisory Committee to the Volusia County School Board, her contributions also extend to serving as Legal Advisor to the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro Orlando.
