My Jano Family Law experience . I contacted Bart in what was a very difficult time after years of uncommon ground. He was welcoming and explained the typical process that was to be approached in my situation. He ensured I followed the necessary lawful steps to get the best result from what sometimes felt unjust or unnecessary. Frustration can become difficult to handle , however Bart is very professional and experienced, knowing how to advise and avoid prolonging what I would say, is commonly a long road to conclusion. Thoroughly recommending Jano Family Law to those that may ( unfortunately) need the expertise.

I found Bart at Jano Family Law very helpful and understanding of my situation. I am based in the UK and my ex-husband (relocated to Australia) applied to the Australian Courts to dismiss a UK order for child maintenance. Bart and his team were effective in negotiations and court hearings. I was happy with the overall service and outcome. Bart went above to research and understand my case and compiled statements and attended hearings that aided in the desired outcome. I would use Jano Family Law again and would also recommend to friends/family.

Highly Recommend Bart and Charlotte at Jano Family Law After spending three and a half years with a large law firm watching my legal fees rise while the level of care declined, I was fortunate to find Bart and Charlotte at Jano Family Law just six weeks before my final parenting and property trial. The difference in approach was immediately clear. They quickly cut through the noise that had unnecessarily prolonged my matter, distinguishing what was truly important from the distractions. They built a well-prepared and focused case, which was presented confidently by an excellent barrister who Bart continued to instruct, support and update throughout the four-day trial. Their dedication, clarity, and practical insight stood in stark contrast to my earlier experience. While the larger firm charged me exorbitantly, including thousands for unnecessary document reviews, Jano Family Law delivered outstanding service at a far more reasonable cost. Looking back, I believe I could have saved myself significant financial and emotional strain had I engaged them from the outset. I can’t thank them enough.

Respected Mr. Bart Janowski has been excellent to work with. It was my privilege to be supported by Mr. Bart, got no contact order at the very early stage of the parenting and property matter. Mr. Bart Janowski was kind, empathetic and supportive person through out the my time with him. Mr. Bart Janowski, God bless you, you will always have my gratitude.

Thanks Bart for all your recent advice and assistance. During one of the hardest and most confusing times, you were there for me as a much-needed, understanding and reassuring guide – able to provide support when required... and straight forward, no-nonsense recommendations at the same time. I can’t thank you enough for all your help. You make a real difference in the area of Family Law, which can be daunting for many, and I would recommend you most highly to anyone who finds themselves in need of knowledgeable and ethical legal counsel. Thank you again Bart, keep doing what you’re doing.

The New Law Advantage

The best thing about running my own family law practice is being able to design the service delivery model. Traditional law firms are not designed to be efficient. They have expensive offices, outdated systems, remuneration expectations, and a reliance on large teams of junior lawyers and support staff.

By investing time and effort into consciously designing how Jano Family Law works and by embracing a mindset of constant incremental improvement, I have found the most effective way of delivering family law services. You benefit from my use of technology, the elimination of overheads, complete pricing transparency and my commitment to personal service. You can benefit from the “new law” movement in Australia.
