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...
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.
"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."
