Vinsko & Associates is very proud to add Jane T. Smedley, Esquire as an attorney with the firm. Attorney Smedley can easily be considered one of the most outstanding young attorneys in Northeast Pennsylvania, as she comes, not only with significant legal experience, but with a mind toward active community service. As a dedicated community volunteer, she has been appointed to numerous boards and committees in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area, and has built a following for the causes which she serves. Attorney Smedley has remained an active and involved member of the Pennsylvania Bar Association, serving as the Co-Chair of Zone 5 of the Young Lawyers’ Division (2002-2005) and also Board Member and Treasurer of the Lackawanna County Young Lawyer’s Division.

From a legal perspective, there are few attorneys in the area that have Attorney Smedley’s researching and case preparation skills. As a clerk for the Honorable Robert A. Mazzoni and also as a lawyer and litigation assistant for several experienced and well-respected trial/personal injury attorneys in the area, she has been able to learn the law and techniques in personal injury, product liability, commercial litigation and uninsured/underinsured motor vehicle insurance law. This legal experience and overall package makes Attorney Smedley a valuable addition to Vinsko & Associates.
