Great Attorney

If you need an attorney to fight and be tough as nails go to Janice. I went through a very tough divorce and Janice was there to do the heavy lifting since my emotions kept getting in the way. Divorce is painful and crippling, but if you have the right attorney, you can come out of it with hope.

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.

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.

Wonderful Lawyer

My divorce started out simple and shouldn't have taken long, but it took many unexpected dramatic turns. I felt like my world was falling apart, but Janice and her staff always treated me with dignity and respect. They made me feel respected during one of the lowest times of my life.

"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."
