Freddy Miguel Godoy Jr.

Freddy Godoy has been my lawyer since I separated from my spouse in 2011. During the past five years, and throughout numerous custody, child support, and relocation battles, Freddy has continued to stand by my side and represent me, and my son’s best interests, in court. My divorce and custody issu...es keep me very emotionally charged, and Freddy is incredible at calming me down and helping me comprehend all of the possible outcomes while suggesting the most reasonable and unbiased ways to proceed. Freddy is able to listen to a call or read an email that can be full of subjective statements and personal dissatisfaction with my ex-husband. Yet, he is able to identify all of the objective concerns that deal directly with the case, and he is able to eliminate and discard the irrelevant details that do not concern the true dispute. I have trusted Freddy for the past five years and will continue to trust him if the need arises. I have total faith in Freddy. He is well respected by his colleagues and court personnel . The amount of positive ratings he has already received on AVOO speaks as a true testament to his professionalism and dedication to not only his career, but to the sincere interest he has to fight for each one of his clients.

*A MUST READ* If you are searching AVVO for a Family Law Attorney, you have found yourself in a very difficult situation and need legal counsel. I know because this is exactly where I found myself last August, 2015. I was scared, no, PETRIFIED, stressed out and needing someone to help me. I read... MANY Attorney reviews on this site trying to find someone I could trust to handle the most difficult situation of my life. After much research, I chose Freddy. Freddy Godoy. It was the BEST decision I could have made. My case was unique in that my child was an infant at the time of my legal custody procedures. From the gate, Freddy was not only compassionate and sensitive of my situation, he handled me AND it with kit gloves. I was so scared and had no idea what I needed to do or how to handle the situation I was in and Freddy put my worries at ease and did what he does best, work honestly and aggressively in the legal system/courts of Philadelphia. I am NOT SORRY I chose Freddy Godoy. I AM 100% THANKFUL that I took a chance and chose Freddy to represent me. Throughout the entire process, and it IS a process, Freddy was responsive, informed, professional, educated in family law and how the system works, strategic and most importantly honest. Even when it was NOT what I wanted to hear, but what I NEEDED to hear. He gave it to me exactly how it was. There were bumps, minor in hind sight, but bumps no less and Freddy was diligent in handling EVERY angle or turn I found myself in or that the legal system threw at me. He was RIGHT THERE to support and guide me and get me thru the heart wrenching, stressful, legal custody battle I found myself in. If I had to do this all over again, God willing that NEVER happens, I would call Freddy Godoy in a heartbeat. I would refer him to ANYONE that needs legal counsel. I feel so passionately about how well represented I was that I would refer Freddy 10 times over and again, if I could . Thank you Freddy for making one of the hardest and most difficult situations in one’s life manageable. Thank you for handling the Philadelphia court system with the superb finesse and confidence that you do and for doing it all so professionally, yet with a human touch. It is all of these things and so much more than make Freddy Godoy the amazing, phenomenal Family Law Attorney that he is. Top Notch, through and through. You search should end here. I am sorry you are in a position that requires a family law attorney, but you WILL NOT be sorry you chose Freddy!

The day that I called Mr. Godoy was the worst day of my life. I was told by my previous attorney that I would lose my three-week-old, still breastfed daughter because of my immigration status, and there is no way I could get medical support from my daughter’s father when I just paid out of pocket for... my delivery fee. Mr. Godoy was really nice on the phone, he calmed me down, listened to my story, told me everything’s gonna be alright. He took over all my cases when I thought I would lose my daughter. He turned the whole situation around. My ex husband and his attorney tried everything they could to give us hard times and made a huge mess of everything. My ex tried to deny paternity, even directed his parents to harass/threat my parents in our home country in order to get what he wanted. Mr. Godoy was on my side the whole time, fought all my cases(Child Custody, Child Support and Divorce) with dignity. As an alien and new mom, being in Philadelphia with no support system, I still managed to study and pass all the exams thanks to him. He is a superhero, took care of all the mess and gave me peace of mind. Mr. Godoy is very professional, he knows exactly what he is doing and he CARES. He answered all my questions and explained the whole situation to me, kept me informed the whole time. The most important is the result he got for me. He protected my rights, secured my daughter’s future financially. Thank you Mr. Godoy for being an awesome attorney and being such a wonderful person.

I hired Mr. Godoy when my attempt to gain full legal custody of my twin girls took a turn. I was confident that I would get it, well, I was wrong. I was engaged to be married and in the process of moving to NJ to start a new life in a new home with my girls, and found myself having to find an attorne...y immediately to follow the proper procedure for relocating the children. I searched online and came across Mr. Godoy's website, after reading about his experience with Family Law, I was sold. He took the time to consult with me by phone almost immediately after my contacting him. I met with him that same week, hired him right away to continue my case and I am extremely happy I did. All went well, and the case was resolved without me having to step foot in a courtroom. I would absolutely recommend Freddy Godoy, Jr. to handle your case.

I hired Freddy Godoy in July 2014 to defend me against a bogus contempt charge and a petition to modify custody order. This was my second time in court and my third time negotiating custody orders, with countless mediation sessions thrown into the mix over for many years. I needed better results. ... This was not an ordinary situation. My ex is borderline and bipolar and this can't be swept under the rug. Freddy listened to my plight and objectively, heard me out. He is smart, compassionate, objective, and trustworthy. I interviewed many lawyers and Freddy was the best for us. I wanted to wrap this up as quickly and as easily as possible. We ended up in court with the best outcome possible for my 13 year daughter. Freddy saved the day. For the first time in 12 years, I feel free...really free. The truth came out, finally!! My daughter said to me "I love Freddy. He saved my life". She still sees her Dad the same amount of time as she did before, but now it's on her terms, which is perfect. Thank you!!!
