Second to None!

I was referred to Janine to represent me in my divorce case. Although this was the first time dealing with a divorce, I had the ability to consult with numerous people regarding their experiences during their divorces, and they all agreed she was the exact counsel you want to have on your team for ...a divorce after me filling them in on what Janine told/taught me! Janine is well-versed and extremely experienced, not only in the laws and processes, but also with courts and judges of Massachusetts. She knows very well how to gauge your individual situation, provide options and possible outcomes. If you ever have the need and a chance to hire Janine, do so quickly, as I cannot believe that you can ever find a better attorney to get you want you want and more in your divorce settlement.

Absolutely Fantastic

Janine took care of my divorce, as someone very unfamiliar with the legal system she explained everything clearly and we got the desired outcome. Very communicative.

Divorce With a Child

Spectacular!! Janine covered EVERY aspect of my divorce. She was extremely attentive to what I had to say. I took her advice every step of the way, and she never misled me. Put all your trust in her, listen to what she tells you , and do it. Very probable things will go your way. Communication was ex...cellent, so easy to talk to, answered all my emails in timely fashion. She never made me feel like just another client. Above all, she cared!!!

Dedicated, Knowledgeable and straight forward.

I was very fortunate to have Janine as my divorce attorney. During such an emotional and confusing time she made sure to thoroughly explain the process. Her great qualities are her passion to fight for her clients best interest, the knowledge she brings to the table and how straightforward and upfron...t she is. I’m grateful to have had her in my corner.

Top Notch

I am eternally grateful to Janine. She is top notch and has been impeccable since Day 1. I feel so fortunate to have found her. I put my trust in Janine to get the job done and that is exactly what she delivered, even with the most unreasonable people on the planet! She epitomizes the definition of a... great lawyer by her professionalism, respect, patience, expertise and knowledge of the law. She is extremely organized and gets the job done! I would highly recommend her.
