May your legal search begin and end with Berman Law offices!!

I was 2 1/2 years into a bitter and ugly divorce, then I found " The Law Offices of Janice Berman"! It was like the heavens had rained down on me! Janice is what every great lawyer should be! She is ethical, fair and truly represents your legal needs! Her greatest strengths, is that she is organi...zed knows her law and " Lays down the Law"! My future is so very optimistic having had Janice and her paralegals Laurie and Shirley go to battle for me! They are rare in the legal world! I just wish I would have found them sooner?!!! Look no further, this is the law firm to exceed your legal needs and not leave you sitting broke! Janice commands the courtroom!!

Life Saver

Janice Berman is a life saver! I was emotionally and financially shattered as a result of the incompetent representation I received from the first law firm I hired to assist me in my child custody battle. Janice immediately assessed my situation and how to handle the key role players. She created a... strategy to help me first, regain my sense of equilibrium and empowerment, and then ultimately, through a series of events, regain custody of my daughter and terminate the unreasonable orders issued by the court, including the Order of Child Support. She worked the plan to its successful conclusion. I am extremely happy with the outcome. I am grateful for Janice’s experience, knowledge, aggressiveness and authenticity.

Outstanding, Knowledgeable & Kind.

I can't find enough words to thank Janice. She is a knowledgeable, experienced and an excellent lawyer. I came to her few days before the final hearing of my case through recommendation of a women's welfare group, she heard me patiently and advised me what max can be done in such a short time. And I'...m so glad she took my case and fought for me in the best way one lawyer can. She guided me all through the process and I won the battle which I had almost lost. Being new in this country and going through an emotional turmoil Janice saved me from lot of hardships. I can never thank her enough. I would highly recommend her to everyone who is looking for an highly knowledgeable, experienced and a kind lawyer. Thanks so much Janice, I'll be grateful to you always.

Masterfully excuted father's custody

Ms. Berman taught me many things along the way. Some lessons were harder to follow than others. The day we met she told me not to listen to anything my spouse said. She had to repeat the to me on a number of occasions but ultimately was the best lesson. The most impressive and amusing lessons were... the ones that she taught to opposing counsel. She taught things to both attorneys that represented my ex-spouse. Ms. Berman was knowledgeable of all the new and upcoming laws. She took appropriate steps to insure I was taking full advantage of all the changes. Ms. Berman fought for me every step of the way. The safety of my children was always at the forefront and she never wavered. She was an absolute 'pit bull' in court and never stopped fighting. I will be recommending Ms. Berman to anyone I know that may need legal services.

"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."
