Best Attorney!!

I highly recommend Joanna for anyone going through a divorce.Her expertise and professionalism made a challenging process much easier to navigate.She provided clear guidance, was always accessible, and showed genuine care for my well-being throughout. She was patient and answered all my doubts and... questions regarding the process with extreme detail and empathy. Joanna’s knowledge of family law ensured a positive outcome, and I'm grateful for her support during this difficult time. Thank you, Joanna for your exceptional service and dedication!

Don’t get anyone else other than Joanna Foard to fight for you!

Joanna came highly recommended from a women’s group on FB. She took me on very quickly after I requested her services and made it a point to see me face to face via video-chat from the beginning and lowered her minimum retainer fee for me. She was super accommodating and it felt like I had a close al...ly on my side the entire time as she combed through my proposed divorce settlement agreement and came up with proposals that would be in my best interest that even I had not thought of. She followed up each step of the way, even while she was on vacation and always made me feel like a person, a friend even. As kind as she was with me, she fearlessly fought for my rights. I never felt like I was just a client or a walking checkbook. She and her team were very patient when it took longer than expected for me to get my settlement payment in order to pay her in turn. I would hire her again in a heartbeat, she truly tried to make this whole process as painless as possible and we never had to go to court. I have already recommended her to others and even my ex said I had an excellent lawyer and that he would consider her services if he ever needed them.

Wonderful experience

Unfortunately, I needed to find a divorce and family attorney. Fortunately, I found and hired Joanna. Besides the fact she demonstrated exceptional knowledge of Virginia law, she was understanding and compassionate throughout a difficult process. Ultimately, a very healthy and appropriate settleme...nt was reached. Very highly recommend Joanna.

Look no further!

I had a consultation with Joanna for my divorce/custody case. It was an extremely complex situation with lots of nuisances underneath the surface. Joanna listened intently and took notes regarding my case. She was able to repeat the details back to me as if she had lived it herself. Joanna then discu...ssed strategy and how to approach my highly complex case. She was empathetic and treated my daughter and I like family while simultaneously kicking butt from a legal aspect. She has gone above and beyond to ensure my daughter and I’s interest were met. Thanks to Joanna, we were able to mediate (which Joanna advocated for from the start) and come to an agreement, even dealing with difficult personalities and resistance from opposing counsel. Joanna still found time to gift my 5 month old with toys to play with during the long mediation session. She is smart, thinks quick on her feet, compassionate and kind! There’s no better choice than Joanna, you will never regret it!!

The Attorney I Needed

It’s hard to imagine an attorney being more accessible, supportive, creative, and results focused, than Joanna. Phone calls and emails were returned within a day if not the hour. She was great at explaining the divorce process, laying out a roadmap, and keeping me focused on the realistic big picture.... When presented with unusual issues, Joanna kept me involved and always came away with creative solutions. It was far from easy, but I felt supported by Joanna throughout the entire process and she got me through it.
