If you want justice you need judy Potter

Follows Through with Every Aspect of Your Case with Clear and Quick Dedication

When I was wading through a list of the unknown trying to find someone to represent me in my family matters case, Attorney Judy Potter's name came up repeatedly so I hired her and have never looked back she is do effective and empathetic about her work. Preparation for trials is especially evident and stays cool and calm throughout the process letting you know at every recess how she feels it's going keeping you in the know. Honesty, integrity and goal oriented is how I would describe Attorney Judy Potter and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone in search of a lawyer for their case.

You want Judy on your side of the courtroom

Judy is without question a fantastic Family lawyer. I've used her twice now over the last 6 years and not only is her knowledge second to none but there isn't a courtroom in the state that when she walks in, she knows everyone there. This comes into play more than you can imagine in the courts. She is quick to respond to any form of communication, her rates are very fair and her staff is incredibly helpful. Finally, just her name strikes fear into the opposing party's representation. Hire her before your soon to be ex does.

The Best Family Matters Attorney!

Efficient. Fair rate given her extensive experience and creative assertion when in trial, I jut wish I had canned the former attorney who dug me a hole so deep, most of Judy's work has been digging out of his many errors.
