About Janine
Janine Hallman brings a varied educational background to her legal work. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Accounting from Alvernia College, studied Special Education at Immaculata College and completed her law degree at Widener University. Those early choices steer how she approaches cases. Numbers matter to her. So do the practical needs of families and older adults.
Her career has been shaped as much by community involvement as by courtroom routines. She serves on the Board of Directors at Greystone Manor Therapeutic Riding Center, an organization that provides therapeutic services. Within the legal profession she maintains membership in the Pennsylvania Bar Association and plays an active role locally as co-chair of the Elder Law Section of the Lancaster Bar Association. Those roles keep her connected to policy discussions and to the practitioners handling similar matters across the region.
Hallman’s accounting background informs the financial side of her work. It gives her tools for untangling estates, trusts and the complex paperwork that often accompanies long-term care planning. Her training in special education adds another layer: she understands the systems that families use when they navigate school services or disability supports. The combination of those skills shapes how she assesses client needs and how she prepares legal strategies.
Clients and colleagues describe her approach as practical and detail-oriented. She prefers clear explanations over legalese and aims to translate documents into plain language. In professional settings she has focused on improving local elder law practice through the Lancaster Bar Association. On nonprofit boards she has dealt with governance and program questions that intersect with the populations she serves.
Janine Hallman practices law in Pennsylvania and keeps one foot in community service and one in legal associations. Her work often addresses the challenges that arise at the intersection of aging, finance and disability-related services. She continues to advise clients and participate in local bar activities while serving on the Greystone Manor board.
Her current practice centers on elder law matters, including planning and related issues that draw on her accounting and special education background.
