Excellent service!

Divorce is never easy. Atty Berman made the process as stress-free as possible and handled my case promptly. Atty Berman and her legal assistant Shirley treated me with kindness, dignity and respect. Despite court closings due to COVID, Atty Berman was able to complete my divorce with the court virt...ually. I highly recommend Atty Berman. Her expertise and client care is top notch.

DIVORCE CASE

I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Janice went above and beyond and did everything... she could to ensure a great outcome. Thank you Very much for the great Service and attention on my case .

Best Lawyer Ever!!

I hired Janice Berman in December of 2018 after getting nowhere with my previous lawyer who I had on retainer for four and a half years. He advertises himself as being “ An Affordable Divorce Lawyer”. A coworker recommended her services after she got her divorce finalized in a little over three mont...hs. I met with Janice and explained my situation. She took all my information and proceeded to work on my case. After much back and forth with opposing counsel she was able to make more progress in the short time since I started this back in 2014. In May 2019 I was granted my divorce and I owe it all to Janice! She is organized, knows her way around the legal system and takes her job serious with heart. Her staff Shirley and Laurie are top notch! Both were helpful and informative. Whenever I would call in with a question I got an answer immediately. I recommend that ANYONE looking for an experienced attorney that will do what they say call Janice NOW! She has My Five Stars only because I can’t put 10 stars and two thumbs up!!

5-Star Outstanding!

I can't say THANK YOU enough to Janice and her staff for their assistance in my uncontested divorce. It could’ve gone any smoother than it did. Janice was extremely helpful from beginning to end. I felt comfortable explaining my situation and she always kept my best interests in mind. Janice wa...s very personable, clearly knowledgeable, experienced and easy to work with. Shirley, Janice's legal assistant was always pleasant and happy to answer my questions. She always responded very quickly to my calls and emails. Scott, Janice's Associate, represented me at the final prove-up. It all went like CLOCKWORK. I was very pleased with how he handled everything. A JOB WELL DONE!

Honest, Hard-working attorney who listens to you and helps you get your desired outcome.

We interviewed several attorneys for my sibling's difficult divorce case including minor children. The person we went with was Janice L. Berman When we met with Janice, she immediately set us as ease by asking "what do you want" and reaching out to opposing counsel to ask what their plans were. Thi...s was before we had even hired her! No one else had even asked what our desired outcome was. She had an immediate grasp of the situation and had a good strategy right out of the gate. She came highly recommended to me by a friend as someone who can work with anyone (meaning other lawyers and judges) and who was fair and honest and would not try to run up the bill unnecessarily. Janice is exactly that and more. She was calm and gave good advice when things got tricky during the case. She looked out for and protected my sibling's interests many times. The opposing lawyer was combative and trying to bury us in paper with a lot of unnecessary files and motions just so he could charge more. We wanted to keep the process civil since children were involved and custody was an issue and we did but Janice is not afraid to fight when the situation calls for it. Janice was always professional and responded quickly to our questions. Her staff is also very professional and friendly and responded quickly to our emails and calls. In the end, we got the outcome we wanted. Divorce is a horrible situation but I can honestly say that Janice was a pleasure to work with.

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."
