Excellent Consult

I met with Joanna for a consult on an issue with my support modification. She was very helpful and helped me figure out my issue during the consultation without any fees. I will definitely hire her in the future!

Amazing Divorce Attorney

Joanna took care of me down to the last detail. The other side made it so hard to get through not only the separation agreement but also the divorce, even though Joanna and I were trying to do everything amicably and not go through court or an arbitrator. Joanna was very detailed, laid out exactly ho...w I could get through the process easily and without issues, to include child custody, and spousal support. From the consultation on, she was able to get me through everything clearly. She responded to me right away on every question, every concern. She gave me all of the options, and took care of everything so that I could be at ease through the entire process. I loved having Joanna as my attorney! I appreciated her candor, and her passion, as well as her kindness and soft demeanor. I highly recommend her, and have sent her contact info to a few friends already!
