The attorney you want on your side.

"We called Janet Dockstader when we found out my husband's ex-wife had returned to work. Janet and her extensive support team started working on our case immediately. Our request for spousal support modification was granted, and the respondents request for attorney fees denied. Janet Dockstader and her team know what they are doing and they get things done quickly. It was the best legal representation I've ever experienced and we will save close to $40,000.00 over the next two years. Janet Dockstader is the attorney you want on your side in the courtroom!"

"Honorable, Effective, Integrity. Janet Dockstader and Nadine Orliczky exemplify what attorneys can be. Both are highly capable & motivated, family law attorneys. The entire firm showed efficiency with my money which was exemplified by clear and ethical billing practices. Janet and Nadine are excellent "Strategizers" who helped me navigate a potentially complex and difficult case.

One of the luckiest days of my life!

“I met Janet Dockstader by chance in court and I can honestly say that was one of the luckiest days of my life! Janet has helped me through a difficult custodial battle. She was very compassionate and understanding of my needs, yet aggressive enough to fight for what my son and I deserved. Her staff is also wonderful, knowledgeable, caring and bilingual, which was a big plus since I’m Hispanic. I never knew I could trust a lawyer until I met Janet who’s been a great role model in the legal field. Calling her may be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make. It has been for me!”
