Intelligent, Sassy, Fierce and Caring

Attorney Girard helped me fight for the best interest of my daughter. She detects nonsense immediately and knows how to fight back harder every time! I couldn't be happier with my choice to hire her. She knows law inside and out, this is a woman who truly cares and enjoys helping people through hard ...times. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again if necessary. Best attorney you'll ever find!

Best Decision I Ever Made

I hired Attorney Girard for my divorce and was very please with how effective she was. I was up against a person who absolutely refused to agree and even the smallest aspects of the process. She was patient, understanding, empathetic, bold, and fought for me the whole way. I knew I had the best advoc...ating for me and the results of the divorce proved that! I highly recommend her. I am currently back in court over visitation matters and Attorney Girard is again right by my side. My fears have been greatly lifted knowing she will do everything possible to help us achieve the desired outcome. I couldn't possibly thank her enough.

Excellent

Attorney Girard is an absolute professional. She excels both in legal mastery and handling clients and cases with the utmost compassion and caring. She exceeded my high expectations, and I am beyond impressed by her level of dedication. She clearly explained the process, and answered my countles...s questions with incredible patience. Attorney Girard is highly competent and skilled, and will help you through a difficult time with a smile on her face.

Consummate Professional

Attorney Girard was not only very responsive, but she provided prompt professional assistance to a complex educational issue. Her depth of knowledge as a legal professional is equally matched by her innate compassion and personal firsthand experience with special education regulations and child advo...cacy. Attorney Girard’s ability to objectively evaluate and clearly succinctly articulate the issues provided direction and guidance at a most critical juncture; placing the needs of our child foremost. It is without reservation, particularly as a professional special educator and parent, that I would wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Girard as a strong dedicated advocate for children’s rights.

Being helped in hard times

I will keep it short and sweet, there was never a doubt in my mind she had my best interests at all times, answered my questions, and made me feel good the day of trial court.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
