    Review Justin O'Dell

    Hire Justin!!

    5.0 stars

    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

    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!

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.
