Supportive and effective

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!

Caring, Attentive, Responsive, Compassionate and Professional

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 he...r 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 Foard Gave Me Peace of Mind

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.

Incredibly helpful and knowledgeable!

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!
