Gross Lies Beware

This woman has no problems lying even in court documents making me, her former client, look stupid. She just likes to bill and lie about that too. Extremely sneaky. Beware especially if you care about your children. She likes to use them as puppets in her battles.

Custody/ visitation/ order of protection

I highly recommend!!!! If I can put 10 stars she is deserving of them all. From the consultation to last email communication with other attorney, attorney Roven made sure I was able to get everything I wanted and if not she was willing to fight for it!! I used Ms. Roven for custody/ visitation and OO...P in court. Very professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable. I was able to learn from her as well. I promise you if your looking for an attorney that doesn’t just make u feel like a client and will get the job done.. I’m so thankful to have worked with Ms.Roven

Janice is an Exemplary Attorney

From the outset, Janice was understanding and supportive as I proceeded through my divorce, custody, and support cases. Due to her own experience with divorce and custody she has a personal touch with her clients which engenders trust, yet at the same time she is highly professional in court. She has... a quality which many attorneys do not - she actually listens before offering guidance and subsequently makes time to answer questions. The most important fact about Janice is that she gets results - she provided me with sound advice which led me to win sole legal and residential custody of my infant daughter. Her billing practices are fair and she has never overcharged me. I continue to consult her for advice on legal matters. I strongly recommend her.

Thank you Janice!!

After hiring Janice, my 2 year family custody case was solved within a few hours in a single hearing.. I learned that it is really important to be sure you trust your own lawyer and make sure he or she is doing the best thing possible in your favor. That is exactly what Janice did for me and I look f...orward to contact her for any other issues, and would definitely recommend her.. Thank you so much Janice!!!!
