Slow responses and contempt issue

During the time I had retained Ms. Berman I often experienced long delays in her response and last minute hurried decisions. Further, she gave advice that was not in alignment with the court order with respects to child support obligation and which could have resulted in a contempt of court decision.... Ms. Berman did not provide a level of service consistent across her client base and fee structure. I would advise you watch out for these and other types of issues when retaining her services.

Replied last October 14, 2016

I am disappointed that Jamie was unhappy with my representation but he failed to mention that my representation of him concluded 2 years ago. By all accounts he was satisfied with the outcome as he contacted me on many occasions after his file was closed seeking my advice and guidance. When he contacted me last Spring asking me for my assistance in modifying his financial obligations I declined as I did not believe it would be in his interests to do so and I cautioned him against taking this action as I felt it could raise issues as to his compliance with certain financial issues. . Despite my advice he went ahead on his own and my concerns proved to be correct. He contacted me the day of his hearing in a panic seeking advice but I was unable to call him back and he expressed his anger over this with my staff even though I did not represent at that point. Had he followed my initial advice he would have had a better outcome. I wish him the best moving forward.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. 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.
