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!!

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.

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.
