Joanna is an extremely strategic, dedicated, driven, smart, and thoughtful lawyer! I came to her from another lawyer when my divorce was very stalled. She breathed new life into my case and she and I worked together to get my stalling ex husband to move forward and ultimately become divorced. She is ...always very responsive, and she's upbeat and kind! At multiple points in the process, we discussed strategies for moving forward, and she ALWAYS had my best interest in mind. I had one child, and Joanna was always helping me select the best path forward to get the custody I wanted. She was also always mindful of the expenses--always taking care to do the best thing for my case, but not waste money frivolously. A truly honest lawyer! I highly recommend her to anyone! In the end, I did get the custody I wanted, so thank you Joanna!

Joanna took care of me down to the last detail. The other side made it so hard to get through not only the separation agreement but also the divorce, even though Joanna and I were trying to do everything amicably and not go through court or an arbitrator. Joanna was very detailed, laid out exactly ho...w I could get through the process easily and without issues, to include child custody, and spousal support. From the consultation on, she was able to get me through everything clearly. She responded to me right away on every question, every concern. She gave me all of the options, and took care of everything so that I could be at ease through the entire process. I loved having Joanna as my attorney! I appreciated her candor, and her passion, as well as her kindness and soft demeanor. I highly recommend her, and have sent her contact info to a few friends already!

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, wi...tty, 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!

I needed a lawyer to help me navigate the negotiation of a Marital Settlement Agreement. My wife had a divorce attorney who was guiding her through the separation and MSA. I've never had to contact or work with a lawyer before. I was facing a situation that was frankly scary and I wasn't sure what t...o expect. I wasn't very optimistic about getting a divorce attorney, thinking I'll just get billed an insane amount of money for very little value. I had reached out to a few law firms online, one based upon good reviews on a Facebook neighborhood group, another based on a personal referral, and a pop-up ad after searching for advice on MSAs (this was Joanna's firm). The first lawyer and I played email tag with his responses stretching for days. The second law firm got back to me fairly quickly but only communicated via email with quick responses. So far, my suspicions about lawyers were correct. Then Joanna reached out to me with a phone message at my work the very next morning. Within a few minutes of the initial phone call, I felt very comfortable with her. She was friendly, personable, knowledgable, and took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns. Needless to say, I hired her to review my MSA and coordinate with my wife's attorney. She did a fantastic job. Communication with her throughout the entire process was excellent. At no time was I left wondering where my lawyer was or worried that she didn't have my best interests in mind. She has the rare combination of precise attention to detail and great interpersonal skills. I'm very happy with the outcome and highly recommend Joanna Foard to anyone needing an attorney for a separation, divorce, or child custody.

I had a phone conversation with Joanna regarding my grandson and my son and how to resolve some issues my son has with his baby's mother. Not only was she incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, but kind and compassionate and offered terrific advise, which was exactly what was needed. She was very wili...ng to share her time and expertise and help with getting resolutions. I would recommend Joanna with no hesitation. I will be sharing our conversation with my son and encouraging him to do what he feels is best, knowing Joanna is the perfect person for the job! Thank you Joanna!
