Our Shero

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Attorney Joyner for her exceptional professionalism, caring approach, and deep understanding during my grandkids' complicated custody case. She truly took the time to understand the unique needs of our family and ensured that the best interests of the children... were always at the forefront. The team she assembled was outstanding, providing support and guidance every step of the way. I feel incredibly fortunate that Attorney Joyner came highly recommended and was on our side. I will certainly keep her in mind should we ever need assistance in the future. Thank you again for everything!

Would not recommend

Bronwen attempted to negotiate and got the other side to agree and accomplished there goal of getting me to cancel a hearing. Then, closed my case. So I paid for a negotiation that Bronwen got approved just for her to tell me they don't have to pay. So I lost the money I was to be repaid and had to p...ay her the amount for doing completely nothing.

Absolutely outstanding

Worth every dollar! She was able to get my military, that’s deployed overseas, divorce done when several lawyers told me that it could not be done. I would hire her again and would be glad to refer her to anyone that needs lawyer services.

Recommended

I hired Ms. Joyner in 2015 (while she was with Tavss Fletcher) for an unusual civil matter related to divorce/child custody. Ms. Joyner was up front about the fact that she had no previous professional experience with this particular issue. However, within a very short period she educated herself o...n the particulars of the law in general and my case in particular, and I felt very confident in her representation. She has a sharp mind and was clearly comfortable in the courtroom. She was also always very responsive - I often received e-mail responses to my questions within minutes. I additionally appreciated her transparency. Although I have no legal background, I like to know what is going on with my case, and Ms. Joyner allowed me to review the petitions and paperwork before she filed it. Her preparation for hearings was very good; she even took the effort to consult with an out-of-town attorney who had been previously involved with my case to be sure she had all the appropriate background. Although the ultimate case outcome was not what I had hoped, I was very impressed with Ms. Joyner's demeanor/personality and legal skills and would not hesitate to hire her again.
