I have been battling custody of my daughter for ten years. I have not had the best of luck with lawyers. I had hired a previous attorney whom at the end, did not work out for me. Trial was around the corner and I was desperate. I found Mrs. Foard through Avvo. The reviews provided a comfort feeling w...hich led me to schedule a consultation. During our consultation, Mrs. Foard was 100% honest with me. She understood my case, my concerns and answered all of my questions with honest answers. Even after our initial consultation, I continued to reach to Mrs. Foard and she always replied in a timely manner. Unfortunately, she was unable to take on my case due to her expecting. However, I know that had she taken on my case, she would have fought hard to ensure a fair outcome. Additionally, Mrs. Foard is super friendly and easy to talk to. I highly recommend her.

Joanna was exceptionally understanding of the situation that I found myself. She was very knowledgeable of the law and trends of Virginia courts when it came to my family law issue. She was able to provide a very concise explanation of the laws, and my different options as a father going forward. S...he mapped out exactly the different steps she would take to help with my case in order to minimize the stressful impact on the child. In addition, gave helpful insight on what I need to do now in order to help my case currently and in the future. After our conversation, I felt more knowledgeable and more confident in my family law predicament. Definitely will be speaking with Joanna again in the future.

I have worked with several attorneys over the past 7 years, with ongoing custody issues. My biggest issue has always been the ability to confidently convey my concerns with ease, and to a attorney that can understand fully. Joanna was extremely easy to talk to, very understanding; yet, to the point ...and communicated honestly rather than telling you only what you want to hear. She understood all of my areas of concern, from financially to my children’s safety. I definitely look forward to working with her long term.

I hired Joanna Foard as my lawyer. Joanna was superb in handling my case as a family attorney. She wasted no time in working on my case. She has superior and extensive knowledge in this area. She is extremely aggressive in getting you positive results. She handled my case with great interest. S...he is prompt in returning calls and always takes time to listen to your concerns. I highly recommend her. She was awesome!
