Jodi P. Carpenter

I retained Ms. Carpenter to assist me with a divorce from an 18 year marriage. The timing of the divorce was important because when you get near or over twenty years, the former spouse gets fully half of the retired member's military retirement pay. Everything was settled through mandatory mediatio...n, which saved a ton of money in courtroom costs. She negotiated a very fair settlement with my wife's attorney, and avoided getting me caught up in costly, long term costs of an equal split of my retirement pay. I got to keep the house and I got full custody of one of the two children (who couldn't get along at home, but that's another story). She later successfully represented me in ending alimony due to my ex-wife's cohabitation. This was difficult because my ex had moved out of state. I highly recommend Ms. Jodi Carpenter as your attorney.

Excellent: Attorney Carpenter represented me with professionalism and dignity. She met her own deadlines and communicated often during each part of my case. Clear and concise: She made certain my expectations of both her representation and the court were both clear and understood by me. She de...scribed different possibilities and prepared me for the most realistic outcome. Economical: She proposed the most economical approach. Attorney Carpenter insured I understood various options. Even when her counsel saved me money which caused her to lose potential income. She did not allow greed or my ignorance to motivate her. She not only counseled me, she educated me in the process which allowed me to have realistic expectations and a firm understanding of what is most likely to occur.
