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.

As an attorney myself, I pay close attention to how a lawyer responds to questions. When offering a free consultation, many will try to get you off the phone as soon as possible or gloss over issues. Joanna was kind, patient, and very thoughtful in her responses. She was incredibly competent and will...ing to answer all of our questions. She provided suggestions that could save us money in attorney's fees. I was very impressed with her knowledge and demeanor. This was by far the best consultation experience I've had with any lawyer. I would recommend her to anyone needing a good, honest family lawyer.

Joanna was excellent in consulting me on my case and she understood the entire case and laid out the plan. Joanna was very supportive and caring, and listened to my case very attentively. I definitely recommend consulting with Joanna before choosing a right attorney! She is very sweet and polite in... conversation.

Divorces are difficult, even if you think you have everything planned out. They are emotional, confusing, and at times frustrating. Joanna,from the start, was very knowledgeable about the laws surrounding my case and possibilities that my former husband could request in the settlement. She prepared ...me thoroughly and I was not surprised by anything about the process or by what his attorney brought forward. I am so grateful for her diligence and the care she took on my case, answering my questions and ensuring my best interest.
