Janice Mandla Mattingly was admitted to the Indiana State Bar in 1994.  Before becoming a lawyer, she was a Paralegal and Law Clerk from 1983 to 1994.  After working in firms for 10 years, Janice opened a solo practice, Carmel Family Law, in 2004 to be closer to her children’s schools and to better balance her professional and personal lives.

For more than 30 years, Janice’s practice has consisted of Family Law, including Dissolution of Marriage, modification of child support, child custody cases, adoptions, and guardianships, as well as extensive probate practice, including preparation of Last Wills and Testaments, Trusts and advance directives. Janice also has extensive appellate practice experience, having briefed cases before the Indiana Court of Appeals and Indiana Supreme Court.

Janice believes that it is important to contribute to her community.  As a volunteer, Janice provides pro bono legal consultation and client representation through a Hamilton County church care and resource center.

As an Associate at Carmel Family Law, Zoe VanDeSteeg focuses her practice on Family Law, Prenuptial Agreements, Estate Planning, and Guardianship matters.
