Carmel Family Law

Janice Mattingly is a hidden gem. I came to her after a terrible experience with a previous attorney who took advantage of me and left me feeling lost and unsupported. From the very beginning, Janice was a complete contrast — professional, compassionate, and incredibly effective. Navigating a challenging custody battle is emotionally exhausting, but she guided me through every step with patience and strength. She truly fought for the best interests of my children while always making sure I felt heard, protected, and well-informed. Her paralegal, Mrs. Deanna, was also an absolute pleasure to work with — responsive, kind, and incredibly organized. Together, they made a difficult process so much more manageable. If you’re facing a tough family law situation, I can’t recommend Janice Mattingly and her team enough. They are a rare combination of skill, heart, and integrity.

Janice helped me navigate our amicable divorce. She was patient, kind & prompt. I will continue to recommend this firm!

Mary Wisehart from Carmel Family Law was incredibly helpful with my case. During the initial consultation, she took the time to truly listen and understand my situation, offering thoughtful suggestions and options along the way. Once I decided to hire her, Mary handled everything quickly and efficiently, keeping me informed throughout the entire process. I'm very thankful for Mary and the team at Carmel Family Law for managing my case with such professionalism and care.

Janice and Lindsay (her paralegal) are amazing. Lindsay is very responsive and never took more than 48 hours to respond to our emails. Janice even though a very busy attorney she personally calls you back if you request it. They were extremely patient through the entire process of our adoption and we are forever grateful to them. We do not have the words to thank them. Highly recommend Janice.

Carmel Family Law was such a great help to me with my divorce. This practice handled my case with great knowledge, strength and compassion. I would recommend Janice and her staff to anyone!!

Janice has been my attorney for a couple different things. Her honest and straightforward advice, realistic outlook, and her unwavering ethics have made her help invaluable to me. I always know that she's going to give me the pros and cons of any decision, that she will be able to explore 'likely' occurrences as a result of those decisions, and will respect my choices. I indicated 'good value' because while she's not the least expensive attorney, I firmly believe you get what you pay for. In this case, I got a knowledgeable, experienced, and understanding advocate. I highly recommend Janice Mandla Mattingly of Carmel Family Law.

I went through a difficult divorce, and Janice's wise counsel was invaluable for protecting my interests, getting me through the process, and eventually moving on with my life. She tells you what you need to know and understand rather than what you want to hear. Her paralegals are terrific as well. Highly recommended.
