G. HAROLD
JANEWAY
Another member of the California bar who has attained a splendid measure of success in the practice of his profession is G. Harold Janeway, senior member of the firm of Janeway, Beach & Pratt, of Los Angeles. During his 15 years of practice in that city he has amply proven his ability and knowledge of the law, as is shown by the character and extent of the clientele he has built up.
Mr. Janeway is a native of Ohio, and was born in 1888 at Columbus. After receiving his preparatory educational training in public grammar and high schools he attended the Ohio State University, which conferred on him the B. A. degree in 1910. He studied law at the Ohio State Law School for some time, then moved to Los Angeles, where he attended the University of Southern California for six months. He was admitted to the California bar in 1912.
Until 1919 Mr. Janeway was associated with the well known law firm of Hunsaker & Britt, and in that year he became senior member of the firm of Janeway, Beach & Pratt, engaged in general civil practice, specializing in corporation and probate law, and representing a number of well known interests.
Mr. Janeway holds membership in the American Bar Association, State Bar of California, and Los Angeles County Bar Association, as well as the California Club, Scribes Club, Wilshire Country Club, Masonic bodies and Phi Kappa Psi and Phi Delta Phi fraternities. In 1916 he married Mary Louise Davis and they have three children, Gertrude D., Richard W. and William F. Although still a comparatively young man, he has conducted numerous important pieces of litigation, and has assumed a position of prominence in the legal circles of the state.
