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.

NO REGRETS - MY BEST CHOICE & GOD'S WILL

From the very start, I didn't feel any pressure from the Law Office of Janice Berman. She and her Secretary Shirley and other Legal Assistant Laurie are like Family to each other and to their Client on a Professional Level. Rest assured, for an affordable initial consultation fee you can be confi...dent and trust that the honest guidance/advice you are getting are protective of your own best interest. Attorney Janice Berman is exceptionally brilliant and covered all Issues that we wanted to achieve accordingly in our Uncontested Divorce of a lengthy duration of loveless Marriage. She even allowed me to use their Office and her Mobile Phone when there was a problem linking on mine for the remote video-conferencing prove-up in the COVID-19 situation, proceeding with their All-Out support in-person in a very private setting which I am very appreciative of. Such an EXCELLENT SERVICE with COMPASSION!! I am also very grateful to Judge Reynolds who approved our Case and JUSTICE was truly served!!!

Great job

Janice did a great job handling my divorce case. She helped me to understand the process and what I needed to do with the house, as well as a time frame as to when things needed to be accomplished. Her secretary Shirley was also extremely helpful. My appreciation to them both.

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!!

Legal Experts Who Make A Difference

This is a very comprehensive, experienced law firm, which specializes in assisting its clients who are maneuvering the munefield of fivorce and post-divorce proceedings. This law firm specializes in offering both legal expertise and insight into confronting larger, more impersonal law firms in court.... The crucial strength this firm brings is a true concern for their clients. I should know, I was one of their clients facing that very same, daunting scenario, and thanks to the guidance of their legal team, I received a very satisfactory outcome in my case. I would highly recommend this law firm. -Tina

"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."

Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
