Joanna Maria Foard

Joanna was amazing to work with. She was present, open and honest, and responded to me in a timely manner. She listened to what I had to say and provided sound and honest feedback, even if it was tough feedback to receive. She truly is about helping her clients.

Joanna really listens to what you want and cares about your feelings through the divorce process. She will point out issues in the documents and provide good suggestions to consider. She is easy to work with and very effective.

I was referred to Joanna and I must say, it was the best referral I've gotten. Personally I have not met Joanna in person but working with her through phone calls and emails has been amazing. Joanna is one of the rare attorneys out there that actually cares about her client and fights for them. I would say that I'd definitely use her services again, but no...I don't plan on getting divorced again. LOL But for real, if you have a case that needs attention, or if you think you've no one else to turn to, do yourself a favor and call Joanna.

Joanna listened to my situation and clearly identified some possible next steps relating to my existing MSA. She was present and listened intently - she also gave me balanced and honest feedback which I always appreciate. Highly recommended.

Joanna represented me in my divorce, and she was fantastic. She helped to enforce and reinforce procedures that helped to smooth the process. She held opposing counsel accountable and worked hard to move the ball forward despite some resistance from opposing counsel. I was incredibly grateful to have her in my corner!

Joanna is very knowledgeable, professional and responsive. She helped me navigate a challenging situation with an excellent result. I highly recommend her!

Joanna was a pleasure to work with. Very knowledgeable and to the point. Would use her firm again.

I recently consulted Joanna on an important family matter. Joanna actively listened to my concerns, then provided a clear, concise and actionable path forward. Highly competent and wonderfully compassionate, if you are looking for IQ + EQ on your side, this is the legal professional you should hire.

It was great to have a consultation with Joanna about my case. She was very informative and gave me multiple options. I would recommend her for any family law cases.

My case is very unique and unfortunately one of those "nasty divorce" horror stories you hear about. Based off of reading the reviews about Joanna, I decided to consult with and eventually hire her back in November 2021. I have dealt with other attorneys before, but immediately upon speaking with Joanna, I knew she was one of a kind! She did not just treat me like a "client," but a real person with emotions. She showed great compassion and understanding, and there was no pre-judgement against me! This never changed throughout the many months she represented me. Unfortunately, due to unforseen circumstances, I was not able to maintain Joanna as my attorney. However, I will never forget all that she did for me and the great compassion she showed during such difficult and highly stressful times!

I left Joanna a voice mail regarding child support modification after finding her on avvo and she returned the call within 24hrs. It was a pleasure to speak with her! Joanna listened to my situation and offered 20+ minutes of free consultation. I will definitely be using her services should I need to retain an attorney for my situation. Thanks again Joanna!

From the initial consultation to the issuance of the final decree, Joanna was "All in". She offered advice and counsel as if we'd been friends for many years. She was able to connect with my case and treated it like she was as vested in the outcome as I was. Her professional attitude combined with her personal, caring and compassionate approach made a difficult and complicated situation seem less overwhelming and daunting. I appreciated Joanna's attention to detail and her promptness in responding to questions. I also appreciated her transparency concerning discussions with opposing legal counsel. She was able to retain a professional front despite dealing with a less than professional opposing counsel. Joanna is very organized and does a fantastic job detailing the steps of the process and associated timelines. She has a very forward-thinking, strategic approach that allowed us to easily adapt and respond to the various curveballs thrown our way. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the outcome and I owe it all to Joanna's tireless work to achieve it. I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Joanna and know she would work just as hard for all her clients. I can't recommend Joanna highly enough!

Joanna Ford completely understood the unique issues associated with this filing and provided sound advice and council. All aspects were handled with transparency, always in an expeditious time frame.

We are dealing with a horrific family situation and need counsel that turns out to be outside of Joanna’s area of practice. She listened thoroughly and compassionately and connected us immediately with a practitioner in the area we needed. Thoughtful, empathetic, expert direction.

I was referred to Joanna by two attorneys who are close friends of mine - my initial phone consultation with her was long and SO informative. She really listened to every aspect of a 30-year history with my ex, including the custody issues that have cropped up of late. She is such a good listener, witty, super smart, and insightful. She was able to take my jumbled mess of a crisis and distill it down to several salient issues and tell me what the legal situation is with each of those issues. I am the daughter of an attorney so I expected (sorry dad!) to be rushed through my back story and given a quick answer and sent on my merry way - this was the opposite. I feel so much more clarity now about the situation and how to proceed, and if I do end up needing an attorney, I will hire Joanna in a heartbeat! Thank you Joanna!
