Professional & Dedicated Divorce/Child Custody/Family Attorney!!

Janice Berman is top-notch!! She helped me through a tedious divorce case & always gave me solid, honest advice. Her positive, professional rapport in the courthouse was very evident. Her approach was tactful and successful. I always felt very well represented during numerous hearings and court pro...ceedings. She always explained things ahead of time and after court dates. I was never left wondering what would happen next. She communicates well with her clients and always follows up. Janice is upfront about costs, which I found extremely helpful. I always felt that Janice had my best interest in mind along with what was best for my children. She definitely knows ALL of the ins and outs of divorce/child custody and has plenty of resources to help clients in other areas as well. I have recommended, and still continue to recommend, Janice Berman to friends & co-workers for legal representation on divorce and child custody matters. I still consult with her when I have questions 12 years post divorce. I highly recommend Janice Berman to anyone seeking legal counsel for divorce or other family law matters.

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.

Very good family attorney

I found Janice to be easy going, and very knowledgeable. She told me at our first meeting, what I could expect to happen in my divorce, and what was pie in the sky, that my ex was asking for. She was correct on everything that she told me. I also found her office staff to be very pleasant to work ...with. I have told my friends that if you ever need a good family lawyer, I have a good one to recommend. Jim

Outstanding, knowledgable and personable attorney

I can't find enough words to describe what an amazing proffesional and person this woman is. Honest, understanding and gets things done. I was in a very bitter, long and ugly divorce involving custody and relocation out side illinois with my minor child. Janice was by my side at all time, never let m...e down or miss led me. Always took my calls, easy to get a hold of and keeps me informed on a daily bases. I was not just a case to her, she actually cares. Her knowledge and expertise grand me and my daughter victory in court although it was an uphill battle and we couldn't be happier. Her staff is equally helpful, knowledgable and absolutely outstanding, huge thank you to Shirley and Lori. If you are involved in a divorce/custody proceedings, this is your attorney.
