The Hon. Edward R. Jordan Lifetime Achievement Award was established in memory of Judge Edward Jordan for his strong commitment and contributions to the practice of family law in Illinois. This award is given annually to an Illinois attorney who, during his or her lifetime, has made creative and impactful contributions of outstanding signifi- cance to the practice of family law. As the 2021 recipient, Janet was presented with the award today via a prerecorded presentation at the IICLE® Annual Business Valuation, Financial & Tax Issues in Divorce meeting.

She earned her J.D degree from Chicago-Kent College of Law at the Illinois Institute of Technology and holds an L.L.M. in Tax Law from John Marshall Law School with additional training in arbitration as well as divorce and family mediation.
Janet’s years of experience give her a thorough understanding of the financial implica- tions of divorce and make her adept at sorting through complex financial matters that arise during the separation of assets. Her clients quickly learn they are not on this jour- ney alone, but have a partner and advocate who is personally involved.
