A good lawyer

He handled my custody and divorce case and got me exactly what I wanted. I found him to be very responsive and explained everything to me.

Where are you?

My wife left me over 2 years ago. I'm still paying $1400/month in APL payments and Jan will not answer my emails or help force a divorce. After I payed my retainer and he went to court once, he stopped responding to correspondences. I even asked to set up a time to call him for info, at $200/hr, a...nd he wouldn't do that.

Great Pittsburgh Divorce Attorney

I was separated for a few years and I finally decided to get my initial divorce papers finalized. My girlfriend has used Jan as her divorce attorney and highly recommended him. I contacted Jan and Jan was very knowledgeable about how to proceed regarding my divorce and custody arrangement for my kid...s. It took about a year to finally get everything done and Jan was very helpful in putting this very difficult part of my life behind me. I think very highly of Jan's skills as a divorce lawyer.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
