Job Well Done!

Janice Berman and her team did an AMAZING job representing myself And children in a court case in Chicago. We have Never lived in Chicago and do not know the area. We were taken to family court there in Cook county. We live in Arizona & had to find representation there. My employer is associated with... Hyatt Legal and I was able to receive a consultation. Janice understood my circumstances and worked with me to resolve this court issue. Any time I had a question I was able to address it with her AWESOME Staff via e-mail or telephone. I have Never met Janice in person nor her staff, but my family and I are Extremely Satisfied with the outcome of the court matter. Being 1,700 miles away they maintained an open line of communication with me on court hearings and outcomes. This relieved some stress on my end that we could count on having representation at all court hearings. I would HIGHLY recommend the services of Janice L. Berman

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!

May your legal search begin and end with Berman Law offices!!

I was 2 1/2 years into a bitter and ugly divorce, then I found " The Law Offices of Janice Berman"! It was like the heavens had rained down on me! Janice is what every great lawyer should be! She is ethical, fair and truly represents your legal needs! Her greatest strengths, is that she is organi...zed knows her law and " Lays down the Law"! My future is so very optimistic having had Janice and her paralegals Laurie and Shirley go to battle for me! They are rare in the legal world! I just wish I would have found them sooner?!!! Look no further, this is the law firm to exceed your legal needs and not leave you sitting broke! Janice commands the courtroom!!

Truly Oustanding

Janice Berman was incredibly helpful from beginning to end. I immediately felt comfortable explaining my situation and I believed, sincerely, that she always held my best interests in mind. Janice is very personable, clearly experienced, and easy to work with. Her staff was also always pleasant t...oward me and they were happy to answer my questions.

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.

"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."
