Janet is an amazing attorney and an even better person. Janet was extremely knowledgeable, persistent and patient during the sale of my home. Without her zealous representation, we would not have closed on time. Thank you again for everything!

Working alongside Ms.Gerard has been an extreme pleasure. She walked us through our attorney review process seamlessly and was available at all times. She ensured to allow us ample room to ask any questions and even provided her personal cell. Ms. Gerard surpasses any attorney I have worked with in the past and her forms of communication definitely worked for our busy lives. She could do text, call and email which is important when navigating around clients schedules. I will refer her to other friends as needed, but truly one of the easiest processes we've experienced in our home buying journey thanks to her!

Janet is an incredible attorney and well versed in the nuances of NJ law. She helped us close quickly on our house and kept us in-the-loop/ up-to-date every step of the way! If you’re looking for an attorney, I Highly recommend Janet!!

I like Janet a lot as a person but not as a lawyer. When her secretary quit, her organization and attention to my case virtually disappeared. She gave me advice that I questioned repeatedly and that turned out to be wrong. She told me the day for my court date but didn't contact me to tell me what time or which courtroom, despite my phone calls trying to get an answer. I had to call my (now) ex-husband to ask him for the details, which was more than a little embarrassing.

Simply did not respond to calls and repeatedly left me hanging; ended up causing me to lose my buyer.

Ms Gerard repeatedly overbills and undercommunicates. As an example, billing statement: read email, sent email, read response. 45 minutes of her billing time instead of standard 15 Never responded to emails towards the end and charged me like an hour of her exorbinant rate when I texted Bad hombre
