Unprofessional

After my divorce was finalized in June, I still had not received my divorce papers yet, even when ex-husband already had. Unprofessional, no communication. She wanted more money on the court date, and she didn't fight at all. My recommendation, find a better attorney.

2 years later and I got back what I paid her!

I hired Ms. Jacovino to help me get my deposit back as my landlord had egregiously kept my monies. I approached her a few months after I left my home in the end of 2014. I JUST got back my $1K that I had paid Jacovino and her team in May 2017!! To make a long story short. my landlord had a persona...l vendetta against me even though I paid my rent each month. She charged me for every little thing and kept my deposits. I went to Jacovino et al and she said that my case looked good and they wouldn't take a case they didn't think they could win. Well, after almost two years I only got back the $1K that I paid them to represent me. I asked what happened and she said that I would have to go to court. All they could negotiate of the $1500 I had lost and the $1k I had given them, was $1k. I had actually won the case against the owners but I couldn't collect because they were out of state. She said I had to put on lien on them and she would charge me more. On SEVERAL occasions I asked if she had even sent a letter to the owners threatening a lien and I was given the same reply as above. These ladies are nice enough but I think that is the problem, they are TOO nice and in this world of legal matters this is NOT what you want. I hope they learn to toughen up and get their clients what they deserve!

They truly cared.

We were going through challenging times and we contacted their firm with a few query emails. We met up with them at their office. They were very helpful, informative and patient with our questions and concerns. Above all, they truly cared and showed compassion towards us and our situation. They ad...vised us what to do on our own so we might save on their fees. One doesn’t get such service with too many attorneys out there.

Good

Went in for a consultation and ended up hiring Jan. Very nice and very professional. Would definitely go to her again!

Relationship-Oriented

I hired Bonnie and Janice to assist me with my bankruptcy and I could not be happier. They were professional, honest, and very knowledgeable. Throughout the process I had numerous challenges/ questions and not only did they answer my questions, but they helped me through a very tumultuous time in my ...life. Indeed they know how to "build relationships." I know that if I ever need legal help again I would definitely call on Bonnie and Janice at LJ Law. I am very thankful to both of them.

  • 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.
