Great lawyer!

I recently went through a very difficult divorce and during that time Ms. Foard not only help me navigate through this hardship, but her consideration and diligence to my case helped me come to a suitable conclusion and saved me thousands of dollars in the long term. I highly recommend her to anyone ...looking for a lawyer.

Exceptional Family Lawyer

Choosing Joanna Foard of Redmon, Peyton & Braswell was the best decision for my family. After calling several law firms without any opportunity to schedule a consultation, I gave Joanna a call. Joanna was the only attorney to return my call within the following days. Once we spoke, I knew she was the... attorney I wanted to work with. At times, my case was emotionally charged and was filled with unreasonable proposals. Joanna helped me navigate the complexities of the legal system and advocated a slow and steady yet highly proactive approach to my case. I felt very supported throughout this whole process and it was reassuring knowing that someone has your and your family’s best interest in mind. Joanna was extremely responsive to all of my questions and concerns. She provided updates, explanations, and went above and beyond in facilitating communication between us and opposing counsel. What I appreciated the most was that she provided multiple options on how we can address specific issues and provided the pros and cons of different scenarios that we may encounter during the process. Joanna provided exceptional legal counsel, support, and advocacy, which helped achieve a positive outcome for my family as a whole. I could go on to write a whole novel on my experience working with Joanna Foard. All I can say is thank you so much Joanna. You are simply the best!

Excellent and Honest Attorney

I hired Joanna Foard to help me get through my divorce with a difficult spouse. She always responded to my emails promptly and gave me honest feedback to my questions and concerns. Joanna is not only kind and understanding, but also a strong negotiator in mediation. Her knowledge and experience in... handling difficult personalities helped me get a good settlement after negotiating with the TWO attorneys representing my husband. She's a dedicated and exceptional attorney to have on your side and I strongly recommend her to anyone going through a difficult divorce.
