Joanna was on top of things the entire way.

I could not be any happier with a lawyer during my divorce. Ms. Foard was responsive to my emails, including opposing counsel’s - even proactively (and professionally) nudging them along whenever their inaction stalled proceedings. All the while keeping me informed as to what was going on and what ca...me next. There are type A people who just have a knack for getting things done and she’s definitely one of them. And yet she’s also warm and friendly (often there’s a trade-off!) making the entire painful process of a divorce much more bearable. I would recommend Joanna Foard to anyone going through a divorce.

Joanna is an honest, dedicated, awesome lawyer!

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!

Amazing Divorce Attorney

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!

This is the lawyer you want on your side!

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....

One of a Kind!

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 Joa...nna, 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!
