About

As a result of a custody battle over my son, I gained enormous insight as to what it is like to be on the other side of the desk.  This has enabled me to be more empathetic and to guide my clients accordingly.  I have been practicing law for over thirty years.

I highly recommend!!!! If I can put 10 stars she is deserving of them all. From the consultation to last email communication with other attorney, attorney Roven made sure I was able to get everything I wanted and if not she was willing to fight for it!! I used Ms. Roven for custody/ visitation and OOP in court. Very professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable. I was able to learn from her as well. I promise you if your looking for an attorney that doesn’t just make u feel like a client and will get the job done.. I’m so thankful to have worked with Ms.Roven

Janice is a great attorney! She's approachable, responsive, and successful in the outcome. I had two issues with merchants that resulted in a full refund (both times) due to Janice's advise, involvement, and demand letters. It was a quick and easy process. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a relatable and effective attorney.

During a very difficult time, Janice provided professional guidance and advice, staying responsive even during the pandemic, and was compassionate and empathetic to what I was going through. It felt great to have Janice in my corner!

I hired Janice for my divorce case in early 2019. The case is still pending settlement at this moment. It is a very important and stressful period in my life as I can expect. It was a very pleasant experience to speak with Janice in person or on the phone every time. The overall experience with Janice I think is so far so good. I will update with more details as the case develops. At this point, I do hope the case can be closed after so long time and I can get over this hurdle in life soon.

I found Janice through the Hyatt Legal Plan. She drafted wills for me and my wife as well as power of attorney forms and living wills. It is often unpleasant to deal with issues involving sickness and death so my wife and I kept avoiding the "talk" and did not follow through for a long time. Janice sent us polite reminders periodically so we would not let it slip through the cracks and once we finally did what we needed to do she finished quickly and did a complete and competent job. Sometimes the services available on prepaid plans are lacking but I have to say I was treated as if I were paying a huge hourly fee and was a lifelong client--which we were not. I would recommend Ms. Roven to others legal services plan or private paying. I would use this firm again without hesitation and you should too.

I’m so glad I reached out to Janice’s office. Even from the initial call, her team was very helpful, clear, and invested in my case. I’m very glad that Janice was by my side at the hearings. I don’t think I would’ve had the success - and definitely not the strength and confidence - without her there. Definitely recommended.

I went to Janice after another lawyer botched and neglected my case. By this point, it had become very time-sensitive and headed towards a crisis. Janice and her staff were able to meet with me in a matter of hours, put my concerns at ease and answer my unending stream of questions, including the intricacies of getting my case a much-needed expedite through the courts. Remarkably, and seemingly against all odds, Janice pulled it off in a couple of months. Throughout, Janice was responsive, easy to work with and direct. She is a real pro and I strongly recommend her to anyone in the market for her services.

Thank G-D for Janice. She helped me get what I deserve and would not allow me to settle. she did everything! she just sent me confirmations. I did not have to reach out and ask if something was done. not even once. she would reach out to me that it was done or requested additional information to get it done. I know where I would be if it wasnt for her and I am incredibly thankful that I am now.

From the outset, Janice was understanding and supportive as I proceeded through my divorce, custody, and support cases. Due to her own experience with divorce and custody she has a personal touch with her clients which engenders trust, yet at the same time she is highly professional in court. She has a quality which many attorneys do not - she actually listens before offering guidance and subsequently makes time to answer questions. The most important fact about Janice is that she gets results - she provided me with sound advice which led me to win sole legal and residential custody of my infant daughter. Her billing practices are fair and she has never overcharged me. I continue to consult her for advice on legal matters. I strongly recommend her.

I came to Janice with a child support issue that was a bit complicated. She listened, calmed me down and came up with a plan. She was very professional but very easy to talk to at the same time. She quickly found a solution to my issue and was with me every step of the way. I would happily send any of my friends to Janice - and am so lucky I was referred to her. Thank you for all your help!!!
