Review Justin O'Dell

Hire Justin!!

Posted by

Justin is a remarkable lawyer! I have had a bit of experience with attorneys and I must say they have not all been favorable. Justin is ethical, and exposes the truth. I had a contentious exhaustive high net worth divorce. Justin fought diligently and expeditiously to get to a settlement, and when he presented our case in court his argument was comprehensive, articulate and spot in every time! More than that he cares and it is evident in all he dedication to his clients. He also handled a corporate case in which my ex sued me during the divorce. Justin was again business savvy and completely understand and was able to unmask the situation. He gets numbers, custody and business and I would not hire anyone else.

Successfully negotiated new parenting plan

Posted by

Justin was phenomenal - his approach, connections, and negotiation skills were on full display as he helped me deal with my ex's totally baseless request for custody modification. He was able to get them back to mediation (first time I tried mediation without my previous attorney) and we were able to agree on a new parenting plan - one which allowed me to achieve nearly everything I had hoped for. Highly recommend!

Superior Service, Knowledge, Skills, and Ability

Posted by

I have been a part of the criminal justice system for over 40-years, but when our family needed a family law attorney we were fortunate to find Justin O'Dell. Over the course of many years and cases including Temporary Protective Orders, Custody Modification, Contempt, and a lawsuit, Mr. O'Dell has displayed a compassionate and professional work ethic. Always available, Mr. O'Dell returned a phone call from atop a mountain in Alaska. Mr. O'Dell is smart, articulate, detail-oriented, and determined. Mr. O'Dell has become our trusted counselor and family friend. His sage advice is unmatched. His probity is unquestionable. We highly recommend Mr. O'Dell.

Outstanding Attorney!!

For my divorce I couldn't have hired a better lawyer. From the start to finish he was outstanding and professional. My outcome was exactly what I wanted. Look no further for a attorney and retain Justin O'Dell.

I can not thank this firm enough for their professionalism and quality work.

I had a legal issue that lasted over six years until I went to O'Dell & O'Neal. Mr. O'Dell was able to resolve the issue over a breakfast coffee with the opposing party and kept me informed about the developments in my case.

Scott Shaw, Divorce and separation Attorney on Jan 17, 2016
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

The best way to measure the mettle of an attorney is to participate in a case with him or her. Justin is a fine attorney, who can handle himself in court, is ethical, and an attorney I can recommend from real world experience.

Kenneth Crosson, Divorce and separation Attorney on Jul 28, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Justin is a good egg. Smart, skilled, and energetic, he's a great lawyer, but beyond that he's an asset to the community and a credit to the legal profession. He may be more generous with his time and energy than any other lawyer I know, revealing his genuine passion for serving both his clients and the community as a whole. I enthusiastically endorse him.

David Willingham, Divorce and separation Attorney on Apr 8, 2014
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse this lawyer. Justin is a tremendous asset to our legal community. His knowledge and in-depth understanding of the law and our legal procedures are top-notch. He is an excellent attorney that I would recommend to anyone.

Scott Semrau, Litigation Attorney on Sep 3, 2013
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I enthusiastically endorse Justin O'Dell. Justin has earned the reputation for being an aggressive and persistent litigator as well as a congenial and tireless volunteer for the Bar Association. He is well known by local judges and in my opinion embodies the best qualities of a good lawyer.

Matthew Swanson

I have come to know Justin well as an active member of the Cobb bar and our church. Justin is a strong advocate for his clients and provides a great service to them as well as the community. I would certainly endorse and recommend Justin to anyone seeking a litigation attorney.
