Ms. Janton was my lawyer through a semi-complicated divorce. With a business, home and children involved Ms. Janton helped me get exactly what I wanted from the start of the divorce process. It did take about 14 months to get through the entire process, mostly because of my ex finding ways to push things out, but in the end she was able to move things along when my ex's laywer was trying to prolong the process again. Ms. Janton found ways to make it easy to communicate around my very hectic schedule. She's very familiar with the court systems and I'd highly recommend her.

Erica Janton is the perfect blend of being nurturing and empathetic while also being professional. She is an amazing trial attorney and ensured that every one of my concerns were met. I received round the clock and immediate communication and assistance. She continues to always give her honest professional advice but also considers my thoughts and feelings when communicating. I recommend Erica to the highest degree and would never consider going to anyone else. She gave me hope throughout a very difficult time and gave me my life back! I am forever grateful. I encourage anyone who needs an attorney to reach out to Erica.

I am a non custodial father who has been fighting for ten years to gain unobstructed time with my daughter since the day she was born. I have been in and out of court for the entire duration of my daughter's life with Erica being the last in a slew of at least two other attorneys before her who failed to make progress on the case. Erica was able to do what no other attorney was able to do in ten years. She successfully navigated the very hostile and difficult opposing side and was able to round up a group of court professionals and expose the truth of the situation to people with the authority to effect change. Erica was able to rope in the top mediator for the entire state, who over two sessions nailed down all the loopholes that in the past, allowed my daughter's mother to cancel visitation at will without me being able to do anything. Erica was timely, meticulous, incredibly sincere, honest and fought for my child in addition to just me. Her sense of humor and humble grounded nature combined with her exceptional legal knowledge and her array of professional contacts allowed her to deftly steer my case to the first success in a decade. She also has no fear of showing "her teeth" when push comes to shove and she wields them exceptionally. I wish Erica was the my original lawyer and if you have a difficult problem in which the devil is in the details, she is the exact person you want on your side. Erica is the only attorney who took the time to become as intimately educated on the details of the case as I would naturally be, and it paid off. Eleven out of ten. If my legal matter ever requires representation again, I will immediately call Erica and ask her to be my fighter. Without hesitation.

Attorney Janton is an amazing attorney who through her diligence and perseverance, helped reunite our family after an extremely complex custody case. She prepared us for every possible scenario and yet compassionately understood our stance and the serious issues our children were facing. She always returned phone calls and even allotted time for us for urgent meetings with her to address our case and answer all our questions. She was always upfront and honest while respectful and understanding of the difficult time we were experiencing. Our case was unique and it was quite complex, Attorney Janton followed through on every avenue to fight for our children and our family. The family court process can be very difficult and certainly one that requires an lawyer like Attorney Janton to represent you along the journey. We have committed to keeping her as our attorney as our family's needs evolve. If you want an attorney who is going to fight for your rights, she is the one and only lawyer I would recommend. I don't think in a million years we could ever repay her.
