Be cautious if you don’t want a cookie cutter solution!

Be cautious if you have a contested divorce case and don’t want a cookie cutter solution!!! 1. Bad attitude. Her attitude changed after I retained her. Never been treated as a priority. She’s put me into appointment at late night or weekend. She missed multiple emails I carefully wrote and failed to ...reply. 2. Forced me to accept the opposing attorney’s request and failed to advocate for my position. 3. Failed to follow court’s direction and put my case in disadvantage. 4. Unfair billing practice. Her bill showed billing hours even before I signed retainer letter. 5. Not cooperative to my new lawyer when I had to switch attorney. Be cautious!

My experience with Janice on my divorce case

I hired Janice for my divorce case in early 2019. The case is still pending settlement at this moment. It is a very important and stressful period in my life as I can expect. It was a very pleasant experience to speak with Janice in person or on the phone every time. The overall experience with Janic...e I think is so far so good. I will update with more details as the case develops. At this point, I do hope the case can be closed after so long time and I can get over this hurdle in life soon.

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.

Janice was excellent and I couldn't have asked for a better Divorce attorney especially since she went above and beyond during probably the worst period of my life. I highly recommend her to anyone going through a Divorce or separation.

Excellent lawyer. Awesome person.

I could not have gotten through my contentious & exhausting divorce process without the guidance & support of my attorney, Janice. Janice is grounded, smart, & fair. She will advocate for you wholeheartedly. She knows the law well & does not get her feathers ruffled in the face of drama or challenge.... She is patient & sensitive to the emotional rollercoaster of divorce. She was a rock for me throughout. Because of Janice I got what I was entitled to in my settlement & am very satisfied with the outcome. I recommend Janice without reservation. She genuinely cares about her clients & you can trust that with her you are in good hands.

Divorce Settlement

A highly favorable judgment was made. My client settled for over five times the original offer, and she maintained custody of her child.
