Family Law Attorney

I am a family law attorney and had questions about the adoption process. Janet was extremely knowledgeable and willing to help me understand how to maneuver through this with a client that wanted to stay with me during the entire process. Janet has been a presenter for many years at Continuing Lega...l Education programs. I highly recommend her services!

Very helpful and knowledgeable

Janet helped us with a complicated foster to adopt situation involving children from outside of the country. She was very resourceful. I was impressed with her knowledge. She has a great reputation with the judge and people involved in our case. I don't think we would have adopted our kids as quickly... if she wasn't representing us. She made a complicated process much easier.

Compassionate and knowledgeable!

Janet was such a pleasure to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable and also very compassionate, both qualities were exactly what we needed to work through a high emotion and challenging guardianship. My sincere gratitude for ensuring the best outcome for our family during a very challenging time....

Amazing Job!

Janet did an amazing job walking us through a complicated guardianship situation! She is competent, confident, professional and personable. Not only did she help us understand and complete the required filing documents and represent us with the courts but she was a great encouragement to keep moving ...forward when the process looked like it would not go through due to an outside individual trying to subvert the process. Janet's law firm also represented us as our adoption a few years ago and they did such a wonderful job that they were the first we contacted for help with out guardianship. I would highly recommend the Law Firm of Janet Story!

Caring, efficient, effective, knowledgeable

We've adopted three children with Janet as our attorney. With one of our adoptions, the social worker messed up the government's paperwork and then quit her job, leaving an absolute mess just days before the adoption was supposed to be finalized. Janet caught the problems and was able to get everythi...ng fixed, and our adoption happened on time. Janet is very thorough, effective, and knowledgeable. She also truly cares about the children who are being adopted. I talked to Janet a few years after my adoptions, and she remembered my children's names and asked about them. I've also seen Janet work tirelessly to advocate for children who are still in foster care. When I sat on a state commission that was reviewing foster care regulations, Janet spent a lot of time answering questions and researching and helping. No one had to ask her to help. She saw there was a need, and she helped. She truly cares, and I have seen her pitch in and help time and time again over the years. Janet has a stellar reputation within the adoption community because she does great work and because she cares.
