Janice L. Berman

I first retained Janice in 2011. I filed for divorce, custody, and a child support order. Janice obtained everything I was asking for and than some. I was so pleased with the outcome. This was a little more difficult being that my husband had moved to a different state. More paperwork extended court ...time due to his travel. Eighteen months later he was very behind in his child support payments. I contacted the state continuously with no avail. For eight months straight they told me he was not employed with the company. I knew for a fact he was. I became frustrated and contacted Janice once again. Within a few days she had narrowed down his exact work address. She went down the chain of command starting with his corporate office. She immediately contacted his work sent them my child support order, and the money started coming in. I was so relieved after hours, days, and months of arguing with the state. We were back in court within a month.(Due to him being out of state the law allows extra time) It turned out his income had increased significantly. Of course Janice doubled my child support order. Flash forward to last year. Once again he was behind significantly. I decided to try my hand in court myself. I filed all the paper work, and had him served. I patiently waited for my day in court. As soon as my ex got the orders he hired a hot shot attorney of his own. He also argued for custody. I received a call from his attorney(who was verbally abusive) I called Janice the next day in tears. She agreed it would be best if we worked together. The date was set and we went to court. I was so nervous, and her attitude was I get your upset, but I got this! She sure shocked me! His attorney went in there acting like he owned the world! Within minutes Janice put him in his place. I was immediately at ease. Once again she came through for me. We had numerous court dates because his attorney kept arguing for different things. Every time Janice shut him down. In the end my child support was increased again. There was additional amounts for arrears. Janice also worked her magic and found out he was hiding stocks, and a 401k. She argued I was entitled to all of it, and I got it. I also received his tax return. This is way more than the state could do. In the end he dropped the custody part. I'm not sure how Janice works her magic, But I am sure she is awesome! We are now through with court. I hope I don't need an attorney anytime soon, but if I do Janice is my first choice! She has always gone above, and beyond. She is easy to talk to. She was always up front and honest with me. She has never lied or sugar coated anything. I would also like to say that she found additional resources for my children. This was so helpful on many levels. I will forever be greatful to Janice for everything she has done for myself and my children.

Janice Berman was fantastic as my divorce attorney. She was always very responsive during this stressful time frame. I also needed to reach out to her over a year later for additional advice and once again, very responsive and negotiated a favorable outcome. I felt she represented me well and her a...dvice and guidance were instrumental in negotiating a fair settlement for both parties. She kept the process moving along. I would recommend her strongly to anyone needing a hardworking, intelligent and caring attorney that will ensure that you get desired results. So pleased with her work and efforts.

I am thankful I hired Janice to handle my divorce and custody issues a few years ago. At the onset, I explained to her that my case would be particularly contentious and difficult (which proved to be true) (in case she had seconds thoughts) but she never flinched. She really did an amazing job help...ing me to navigate the legal process and advocating for the best interests of myself and my children. Whatever seemingly overwhelming complication arose, she responded calmly and professionally with a reasonable plan to manage it. For example, there were safety issues in my situation which she handled promptly and effectively. She clearly has extensive knowledge of and experience dealing with all aspects of divorce/custody, including those that I could not even have anticipated. She has shown sincere concern for the well-being of myself and my children and for facilitating outcomes that didn't just get the job done but improved our lives. Shirley too, does a great job assisting to organize a busy practice and keeping the lines of communication open. Although my divorce was final some time ago, there will be future issues as the children reach adulthood. I am confident that Janice will handle these expertly as well.

Janice has helped me to finally get divorced! I am grateful for all her help. Janice have been very patient with me and have always assured me she is doing everything in her powers to get all my petitions awarded. The divorce proceedings have been very painful but she has always made me feel assured ...that everything would be ok at the end of it all.

Janice helped me from the very start on my legal matters stemming from my divorce. I went through some stressful times and Janice would always support and provide a feeling of comfort. There are no real winners in divorce cases but at least Janice was able to make the process less painful. I am ever ...grateful to her for helping me through the matter and allowing me the feeling that life will be much better going forward.
