Highly recommend

Divorce is a very difficult time in ones life. Janice was referred to me and I'm so happy I contacted her. My divorce was difficult in that my ex. is very controlling (Narcissist) and wanted to play mind games. He stalled at every stage. Janice was always there to calm me down and tell me she'll... "take care of it" she didn't take his nonsense and called his lawyer out, reminding them of the law. It was a long hard process, but it's finally over and I've never been happier. I would highly recommend Janice. She is personable and she knows what she's doing!

Highly Recommend

Janice is extremely thorough, attentive to detail, and above all, personable and compassionate. She provided me with excellent advice, maintained communication with me along the way, and made the court process easy and painless. Janice’s knowledge, hard work, and experience is unmatched! She kept my ...best interests at the forefront of her attention and worked hard to achieve effective results. I highly recommend her.

Best Lawyer Ever!!

I hired Janice Berman in December of 2018 after getting nowhere with my previous lawyer who I had on retainer for four and a half years. He advertises himself as being “ An Affordable Divorce Lawyer”. A coworker recommended her services after she got her divorce finalized in a little over three mont...hs. I met with Janice and explained my situation. She took all my information and proceeded to work on my case. After much back and forth with opposing counsel she was able to make more progress in the short time since I started this back in 2014. In May 2019 I was granted my divorce and I owe it all to Janice! She is organized, knows her way around the legal system and takes her job serious with heart. Her staff Shirley and Laurie are top notch! Both were helpful and informative. Whenever I would call in with a question I got an answer immediately. I recommend that ANYONE looking for an experienced attorney that will do what they say call Janice NOW! She has My Five Stars only because I can’t put 10 stars and two thumbs up!!

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.

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!

"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."
