Perfection @ it's best

Janice was very professional, supportive, knowledgeable, consistent, reliable, and very informative. She walked me through the entire process step by step. She explained how things would work for me, my ex-spouse, and my daughter to ensure I was making the best decisions not just for me and her but f...or my daughter as well. i would recommend her to any and everyone!

Active Duty Soldier - Janice Alfred got me my son back

Janice Alfred was the 3rd attorney I hired whilst being in hot pursuit of my son from 2011-2014. The year I hired her was July-Aug 2014. At the time I was stationed in Fort Knox, KY and my son's mother had kidnapped him and fled to Atlanta, GA despite KY court orders ordering her to turn over our son... to me (I became primary custodial parent due to her repeated failure to allow visitation) since May 2013. Desperate for an attorney, I did some online research on Atlanta, GA attorneys and I decided to go with Janice Alfred. To make a very long story short, Mrs Alfred was very professional and to the point about everything. She remained in constant contact and asked me questions to ensure there was no misunderstanding when presenting my case. Attorney Alfred is extremely competent, did not allow herself to be outspoken during court hearings (which I found very impressive) and was completely thorough in composing my years long counter argument. On our last court date, she did everything in her power to ensure that I left with my son and didn't pull any punches until the "bell rang" Now, it is Oct 2016 and I have had my son for 2 years - I am enjoying every moment! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a competent attorney who will display solid conviction in the courtroom. Thank you, Janice Alfred!!!

Creditor

I agree with most reviews on how she is a great listener. She was able to tell me my rights and point me in the right direction. I felt at ease with just one initial call.

Horrible Attorney

I hired this attorney for my divorce. This attorney is horrible. She's not knowledgeable about laws pertaining to Divorce, and should not have taken my case. I paid this attorney her upfront fee of $2,000 and did not receive the services as promised. This attorney also went as far as to quit my case,... leaving me with no legal services or money to obtain legal services. I ended up signing my half of retirement benefit, equity in the house (which resulted in myself and children having to move into an apartment with children), spousal, resulted in additional monies to be paid out. This caused a bigger financial burden than I already had. This attorney decided to sue me and I am on total and permanent disability, I can not afford to pay her additional money for services that were not rendered cause me file bankruptcy relief. This will cause my credit score to go down drastically.

Replied last December 02, 2014

None of this is true. I have only withdrawn from one divorce case because the client has diagnosed psychological issues (which I found out about after I took her case) and kept going back and forth about what she wanted to do, including making me reach out to opposing counsel with terms of settlement, having us draft all the paperwork and then changing her mind. I had to convince her twice throughout the case to keep fighting the divorce to make sure that she got what she was entitled to. Also, she kept misrepresenting things we discussed, and kept badgering me via email after I told her I was sitting in the hospital in labor. I continued to work on her case even after her retainer ran out and she had no money to pay me. Finally, as of today's date, I have never sued any client for attorney fees, even though this client owes a significant balance. Note also that she voluntarily moved out of the uninhabitable marital home prior to me withdrawing from her case and before the divorce was finalized.

The Best Family Lawyer you can find!!!

Janice was extremely prepared, providing multiple court briefs for what if scenarios. She was honest and dedicated to getting me what I wanted in my child's custody case. She was a godsend after a year and half of frustration. She provided me with in depth strategies and what I would need to be pr...epared for; the best investment I ever made. I highly recommend Janice for all family law cases. She was undaunted in providing excellent service even on weekends or late nights making sure that no stone was left unturn. I can't tell you how good it feels when you have someone in your corner that has passion and knowledge of the law. I can only tell you that you can not get better representation. Janice is absolutely the best!!
