The Law Office of Janice Cho is a client-oriented law firm specializing in helping individuals understand and resolve family law and immigration issues efficiently and effectively and with professionalism, integrity and compassion. Ms. Cho has been practicing law since 2004, with significant expertise in family law and immigration law. Ms. Cho earned her Bachelor’s Degree, with honors, from the University of Chicago. She later received her Juris Doctorate degree from Northwestern University School of Law. After law school, Ms. Cho began her career working exclusively in the area of family law and immigration law. She has supervised legal clinics, provided technical assistance to pro bono attorneys, provided trainings on family law and immigration law, and regularly volunteers in numerous capacities with the Court.. Ms. Cho understands that many of her family law clients are in crisis, need immediate high-quality representation that they can trust, or need to establish personal and financial security in the wake of family separation. She guides her clients through the nuances and complexities of family law and immigration law and offers each of her clients an individualized client-directed approach that addresses each client's specific objectives.. Her family law practice includes, but is not limited to marital dissolution, premarital agreements, post-marital agreements, divorce and separation; custody and parenting arrangements; child and spousal support; and valuation and division of community property assets and debts, including real estate, business interests, professional practices, personal property, retirement benefits and other investments.. Ms. Cho's immigration practice focuses on family-based petitions, VAWA's, U-Visas, and Naturalizations and Citizenship applications. She is dedicated to helping her clients in ways that large firms cannot by providing highly personalized and effective immigration solutions.

My practice with individual clients is limited to consensual dispute resolution (settlement) of family law disputes (divorce, separation, premarital agreements), without going to court and without the intervention of third party decision makers. Such processes include working in Collaborative Practice, as Settlement Counsel and as a consulting attorney for a client in mediation.. I also serve couples and families by helping them to resolve their own disputes in private and on their own terms by acting as a neutral mediator.. I help people to reach fair and equitable resolutions that respect the needs of both parents and the needs of their children. I believe that people should have every opportunity to craft their own solutions when their family undergoes a transition.  In my experience, this leads to better results and minimizes the emotional anf financial damage that can occur in a hostile and adversarial separation and divorce.

LEGAL SERVICES FOR NON-ATTORNEYS. My law practice provides you with solutions extending beyond legal problems.  The holistic approach that I employ places a primary focus on your unique life situation.  We will examine the learned conditioning and behavioral roots that may have contributed to your current legal issues.  This exploration will lead to greater self-understanding, heightened consciousness and a sense of inner peace that will last long after we have resolved your legal-related problems.  Very often this holistic approach will produce creative solutions to your current issues that a traditional approach to law practice would have overlooked.. PROFESSIONAL AND LIFE COACHING FOR ATTORNEYS. Having been involved in legal practice for more than twenty years as an attorney, litigation manager, marketing professional, and placement director, I bring to our work together unique insight into the nature of law practice and the existential minefields that attorneys face.. While I do believe that law practice is an authentic “calling” for a certain percentage of people who become lawyers, I also believe that many attorneys chose their profession largely as a result of pervasive societal conditioning. If this has been the case, the individual eventually finds him or herself in undesirable life circumstances. My work with you will facilitate clarity in your life choices that has seemed elusive for so long.. If law practice is, in fact, a calling for you, I can serve as a professional coach to help your practice succeed. I can also provide you with professional business and marketing solutions to help you thrive.

In addition to the practice of law, I am active in several non-profit organizations.  I was on the Head Royce School Board of Trustees for 13 years and served as President of the Claremont Country Club.  The experience with these organizations have enhanced my practice in many ways as I have had to deal with critical issues.

I have been practicing in the areas of family law and bankruptcy for 20 years. I handle all aspects of family law and only chapters 7 & 13 bankrupcies along with litigation issues. I have extensive trial experience in the family law area and look forward to getting some in the bankruptcy area. The arbitration and mediation arm to my practice consists of work in collections and contract/warranty arbitration for 6 years. I am open to arbitrating or mediating in any area. I am also a photographer. My work consists mostly of events and nature photography. I am just beginning to do portrait work.
