Awesome lawyer and even more awesome human being

I knew from the moment I met Jodie that she was a good person and the right lawyer for me. She assisted me in working through an uncontested divorce and she was awesome every step of the way. She was genuine and very easy to work with and was also very nice to my ex in helping her also understand h...ow the process would play out on the day of court. I hope to never need a lawyer again but if I do .. I know EXACTLY who I am going to. Thank you again Jodie for everything!!!

Outstanding and Knowledgeable and Super to work with.

A relative and her spouse recently divorced and I helped with the process of finding a lawyer. We were lucky enough to find Jodie. At the very onset, she interrupted her own vacation to respond to a question which was important to us. She was amazing at facilitating the process to be as peaceful as p...ossible, was patient, honest, knowledgeable, up front and professional with all involved. She stated realistic expectations from the very start and she gave incredibly good, accurate and fair advice from the start. She knows the RI and MA laws and process inside and out, told us what to expect at each point along the way; My relative (and I) could not recommend her highly enough.

Terrific, A+ Lawyer!

After being referred to Jodie by another attorney, as a former psychologist I size people up quickly and when I met her I instantly liked her. She agreed to take on my case knowing that I was in poor health. Jodie was kindand compassionate toward me and worked to resolve issues while requiring my a...ttending court as little as possible. She did an excellent job with my case. Hire her if you want a really excellent attorney who does her homework and who is very well versed in Family Law.

Getting a divorce made effortless!

Jodie knows her stuff!! I felt completely confident from the first day I met her. She put me at ease and explained everything that was going on and everything that would happen in court. She gets right back to you if you email her with any concerns. She IS her practice--no other lawyers and her fees ...are very reasonable. An added bonus: my former husband, Robert, and I live in different states. Jodie is licensed to practice law in BOTH those states. This a real confidence booster because she knew what she was doing. Bob's lawyer did not practice law in my state so it was necessary for him to hire a second lawyer in my state. I will definitely recommend Jodie to anyone who needs a good divorce lawyer.

Highly recommended

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JODIE!  Jodie recently represented me through a complicated modification trial (unfortunately not by choice) against a very cheap, selfish, and bitter ex-husband. I went through a divorce 10 years ago and had a terrible experience with 2 different lawyers who only saw $ signs. It c...ost me crazy $ in legal fees with a not so great end result. JODIE IS NOT ONE OF THEM!! I wish I had her back then but I am so thankful to the person who recommended her to me. She picked up the pieces and made things right. She was extremely fair with her fees and I couldn't of asked for better legal representation. My X's lawyer is known to be one of the best and all I can say is she chewed up both my X and His Lawyer and spit them out during our trial. It was amazing how she got to the truth and facts with her examinations and cross examinations with such class and ease before the judge. She was so confident, smooth and prepared that I was in awe just watching her in action. She knows the law and I was actually shocked at how well she knew my case with even details I would have missed. She was also very accommodating with my schedule even coming to my work and home to meet me due to my very busy lifestyle of owning my own business and a single mother of 3. If you are in need of a lawyer I would definitely consult with and hire her as she is honest, fair, and compassionate to your feelings through the stress of it all. If nothing else I would meet with her just so your X doesn't hire her and you're on the opposing side. Although Jodie carn be a shark in the courtroom when needed I would also highly recommend her for any divorce or family matter. I have recommended her to a few friends who didn't need her for the same situation as mine. She was a mediator for my friend and her X and they were very happy with the service she gave them. She also helped one of my friends in family matters pertaining to child custody and visitation. He came out happy and thankful to me for the recommendation. I am not one to take the time to do ratings but made an exception here because I was more then satisfied with her as my attorney. I am also rating her because of my past experiences with the 2 useless and expensive lawyers before her and what I've been through. I am so thankful I had her and just really wanted to express how important it is to have someone like her representing you. It makes all the difference in the world...TRUST ME...you won't be disappointed!
