Smart and Kind Lawyer

I had a few consultations with Joe. He is very smart and kind and thorough. He makes you feel at ease and comfortable which is a rarity with some of the abrasive will county lawyers out there. He was always warm and inviting and easy to get ahold of. I would recommend him for family matters.

Very knowledgable and consistent communication

We had a great experience with Joe Janusonis! He walked us through each step of our case and communicated the details of each step and what to expect next. He updated us regularly. He is very knowledgeable in adoption law, and we wouldn’t hesitate to hire Joe again if we needed a family attorney.

The best in the business!!!!

To anyone looking for a phenomenal family law attorney, look no further than Joe Janusonis. Joe facilitated me in modifying and existing court order to get permanent custody of my daughter. As a father I understood that this can sometimes be a daunting task. I must say that Joe's vast knowledge of fa...mily law made this possible. He always had excellent suggestions and different approaches that were possible in making this happen. He was always quick to respond to questions and concerns. He was also easily accessible at all times. He was amazing at always staying one step ahead. There were times when I would start to get fed up with the case at hand and Joe always kept me level headed with the end goal in mind. Joe is an attorney that takes your circumstance into consideration and gets the job done as quickly and economically as possible. Some people hire an attorney and regret the decision they made later. However, I could not be happier with my decision to hire Joe and would have regretted it if I didn't. I am super excited to now have my daughter living with me on a full time permanent basis. Thank you Joe for all of your hard work and a job well done.

Excellent

Joe represented me for my paternity case. He was professional, competent and finalized my case. His work is detailed and organized. I am pleased with his services despite the opposing party's attempts to make things difficult. I recommend him and his firm.
