More than a 5 star attorney

Janice is AMAZING she handled my difficult divorce very well and I couldn’t have asked for better and she fought for my kids and I!

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.

Lucky to have Janice as my attorney

My divorce was very contested. I was lucky to have Janice Berman represent me because she truly knows what she’s doing. Janice knows what to fight for in a case and how to fight for it to win it. She is very professional and knowledgeable. Janice is well known and respected from judges and peer attor...neys. It was so easy for her to mediate my difficult divorce to a good outcome for me and and my child and she kept it low on cost as well. Thank you Janice!

"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."
