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.

Ms. Foard is a kind, compassionate and knowledgeable attorney who I wish I had when I filed for divorce in 2017. Ms. Foard not only listens to your concerns but understands the difficulties of going through a divorce especially when children are involved. I would have no reservation in hiring Ms. Fo...ard as my attorney.

I give nothing but the highest recommendations for Joanna Foard. I hired Joanna toward the last few months of 2021 to assist me in working a very difficult divorce that had all but stalled for the last 3 years. As soon as I retained her, she immediately went to work learning all the "ins and outs" ...of my situation and what work had been done previously on my case, and then it was "on"! She immediately reached out to opposing counsel and became my biggest advocate for pushing my case forward to conclusion. She not only was able to negotiate a very difficult settlement agreement but worked hard to create an environment where both sides could be amicable towards one another -- which only helped to push my case across the finish line. To say that she is a miracle worker would be only scratching the surface of what she did for me. The undeniable care she gives about her client's welfare combined with her expert knowledge and understanding of family law was simply outstanding and went "over and above" the call of duty. Again, Joanna has nothing but my highest recommendations!

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.
