President

Janet was exceptional in handling a divorce case for one of our children that could have been a complete disaster. Instead, she advised with integrity, grace and toughness when needed.

As a young professional in a big city I needed a divorce lawyer and had no idea who or where to turn. I was blind-sided by my whole situation and at the time had been avoiding it, which ultimately complicated things. Janet and Arin were extremely professional, genuine, honest, and upfront. I felt wel...l informed throughout the process of my divorce, and involved in the decisions being made. They brought a level of comfort and confidence to me through such an uneasy, emotional and trying time. I wish divorce upon nobody, however if you found yourself in the position I was in, I hope you find Janet and Arin.

Very Disappointed

Very disappointed in the result. Janet was diagnosed with cancer shortly after taking my case. I sympathize but if you can't manage due to your health just tell me and I could of found another attorney. She's exceptional at running up a big bill with little result to show for the expense. I did e...verything I could to move it along but she and my x did everything to drag it out. A divorce with small assets took almost two years. Once the money is gone the attorneys resolve things very quickly. They get your financials up front so they know just how long to drag it out until you're broke then suddenly everything is done overnight. She helped slow down the process at every turn. The only thing she was good at keeping me informed about was the bill.

Great Advocate!!!

I was in need of a lawyer for my divorce I never thought I would have to go though after so many years of marriage. My friend went though many lawyers in her divorce that took so much time and pain to settle. Her advice to me was "I wish I had known about Janet Boyle from the start of my divorce"... She saved me a lot of time I would have wasted looking for the right fit. Janet gave me the time I needed , the advice I needed, and I always felt protected. She is strong , smart and dedicated to her work. She is everything you go to a lawyer for! I feel she worked very hard on my case, And was completely on my side. I believe she always had my best interest at heart. I am very happy with Janet and her law firm . They will make one of the worst times in your life easier with all their support. I was really relieved that someone was on my side who I could trust and respect! I would recommend Janet Boyle !!!!!!!! I am glad she is my attorney and not my soon to be ex husbands. Makes going though a divorce so much more pleasant when you feel you are part of a team , and that team is on top of their game. Divorce is a HOT MESS... This lawyer will make sure you are taken care of from start to finish.

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.
