About Janna
Janna Quarless built her legal foundation in the Midwest. She earned a B.A. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2003 and a J.D. from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School in 2007. Those years of study set the stage for work in a niche area of consumer-facing practice.
Her academic record led straight into practice in Illinois. She is licensed to practice in that state and has spent her career working on matters that touch everyday financial life. The move from law school to a role at DebtStoppers USA placed her in an environment that handles disputes between consumers and creditors.
Quarless serves as an associate at DebtStoppers USA. In that capacity she works on client intake, case assessment and the negotiation side of consumer financial issues. Her day-to-day duties include reviewing client financial records, communicating with creditors and preparing legal documents needed to pursue relief or settlements. The role combines counseling and procedural work.
Her experience at a debt relief firm has given her regular exposure to the challenges faced by individuals navigating mounting bills, collections and potential legal consequences. She assists clients in understanding options available under state and federal law. That practical, client-facing work is a central part of what she does.
Outside of firm work she maintains memberships in several professional organizations. She is a member of the Illinois State Bar Association, the American Bar Association and the Chicago Bar Association. Those memberships provide access to continuing legal education and forums where attorneys discuss changes in consumer finance law and practice management.
Clients and colleagues describe Quarless as steady and attentive. She balances document-heavy tasks with moments that require clear explanation and calm direction. Today she continues her practice in Illinois as an associate at DebtStoppers USA, concentrating on consumer debt matters.
