About Janice
Janice Dantes graduated from the University of Chicago in 2005 with a B.A. in Public Policy Studies and earned her J.D. from DePaul College of Law in 2012. Her academic path combined social science and law. It set the stage for work that involves both analysis and practical problem solving.
After law school she took the steps required to practice in Illinois and became a member of the State Bar of Illinois in 2013. That membership has continued since then. Practicing under Illinois licensure has been central to her career.
In 2014 she founded Pinay Law LLC and has served as its owner since. She launched the firm to provide direct legal services and to run daily operations. As founder and owner she handled both client matters and the administrative demands of running a practice.
Her professional life is anchored at The Law Office of Janice A. Dantes, where she maintains an office and meets with clients. The office name appears on public records and correspondence. It serves as the primary location from which she accepts matters and consults with the public.
Clients and colleagues describe her work style as straightforward. She favors clear explanations of legal options and practical next steps. In matters large and small she aims to make the process understandable and to set realistic expectations about timing and possible outcomes.
Outside of running her practice she has remained active in the State Bar of Illinois since first joining. That ongoing membership keeps her connected to professional developments and local legal resources.
Over the years she has handled a range of matters for individuals and entities in Illinois. She continues to manage the operations of Pinay Law LLC alongside her office practice. Her current practice concentrates on serving clients in Illinois through The Law Office of Janice A. Dantes and Pinay Law LLC.
