Excellent Attorney

I have worked with Janice for many years. I have always appreciated her relationship as her client as you always feel you are her priority always giving you her complete focus and attention. She brings a commonsense approach to your case with a good dose of pragmaticism. She has a full grasp of the i...ssues at hand and always provides insights as to what the end will look like. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend

Divorce is a very difficult time in ones life. Janice was referred to me and I'm so happy I contacted her. My divorce was difficult in that my ex. is very controlling (Narcissist) and wanted to play mind games. He stalled at every stage. Janice was always there to calm me down and tell me she'll... "take care of it" she didn't take his nonsense and called his lawyer out, reminding them of the law. It was a long hard process, but it's finally over and I've never been happier. I would highly recommend Janice. She is personable and she knows what she's doing!

Divorce

Janice and her team helped me through a very difficult divorce. It was mentally exhausting and draining but her team was always there when I needed them. They were always quick to respond and fought for my best interest. Janice provided the clear minded guidance and realistic expectations that I ...needed during the whirlwind of emotions and chaos of divorce.

Excellent Attorney

From the moment I contacted Janice's office, they listened intently to my situation and were genuinely invested in understanding my unique needs and concerns. Throughout our communication, I felt that my situation was taken seriously and that I was in good hands. As we worked together, the attorne...y continued to demonstrate their dedication to my case. They were responsive to my questions and concerns, providing timely updates and clear explanations of the legal process. Their thoroughness and attention to detail were apparent, and I felt confident that they were doing everything possible to achieve the best possible outcome for me. Mine was a tedious, long fought, painful battle and they were with me throughout and they know they were supporting this right person in their hearts as I was very honest and open and everything was out their for every body to see but with caution and to put it bluntly and simply our justice system is tilted on one side blindly to the point that other person just suffer in the hope of getting justice. Janice understood that and continued to support me. But beyond their impressive legal expertise, what stood out most was the attorney's unwavering support and compassion. They recognized the emotional toll that my situation was taking on me and the person for whom it was being done. Their kindness and understanding meant the world to me during an extremely difficult time, and I am grateful for their unwavering support. In summary, I would highly recommend this attorney to anyone in need of legal services. I already recommended to acquaintances of mine and will continue to do so. Their appreciative and empathetic approach, combined with their legal expertise, made all the difference for me during a tumultuous time. Thank you for all that you did for me!

Above and beyond

Janice and her team were kind, understanding, patient, accommodating, and worked their best for me. She fought for me unlike another other professional in this situation has and if something comes up again, I’m going to her without a doubt. She got me and my son to a safe place and I will be forever ...grateful.

"I endorse this lawyer. I endorse this lawyer. Janice is a very astute attorney, to say the least. She cares about her clients, but also about her profession. This results in good relationships in the legal community, which of course, is good for her her clients. After a case we had as opposing attorneys, I referred her a friend that I did not want to represent because of a potential conflict of interest. My friend was very pleased with her representation."
