"Look Elsewhere if Abuse Is Involved I hired this attorney for a high-conflict divorce involving abuse. When I raised serious safety concerns, including an implied gun threat, my fears were mocked instead of taken seriously. I also felt she minimized abuse dynamics and defaulted to a simplistic 50/50 approach despite lopsided contributions and losses I had already taken on. Clients dealing with abuse need counsel who will validate their concerns and advocate firmly. I did not experience that here."

"I’m glad that some have had a good experience with Mrs. Janko, but mine was awful! There were many times dealing with this divorce that I would say she seemed like she was working for my ex-husband instead of me. At the end of my time with her, and $36,000+ later, she fired me for questioning her performance as an attorney. There was a lot to question! I had about 4 weeks to find a new attorney to represent me in court. He said I wasn’t the first person that has had that experience with her."

"The Attroney named sabra, I would like to say before you hung up the phone on potential clients because i asked you to repeat what you said about two times and you got irritated at me and hung up on me. Maybe I would've heard you more clearly if you weren't driving and speaking me because I heard you signaling your car multiple times. And fix your attitude next time your speaking to potential clients."
