Posted by Tawanna | March 26, 2017 | Divorce & Separation

Knowledgeable and a born litigator

Mrs. Foster is a very competent lawyer who is very prepared at all times. She walks into court with confidence and knowledge representing each client zealously. Recently, I reached out to her to consult about my divorce. Although my ex-husband and I decided to move forward without attorneys, he...r advice was invaluable. She gave me several things to consider and if I have to return to court for a modification, I would not hesitate to hire her.

Great lawyer and communication

Chinwe was very professional and always was available for direct communication. She always called me back and made me feel very comfortable from the start. She did a great job at easing my anxiety and being completely upfront with me. Highly recommended!

Exceptional

I first contacted Attorney Foster in Aug of 2016, and I have to admit I was quite upset over a custody filling by my former partner. Ms. Foster was calm and reassuring, she gave me the facts and some great advice with no pressure to retain her for her services. After seeking advice from several othe...rs and doing some research I knew Attorney Foster was the perfect for my case. Ms. Foster was attentive and patient with my many questions, she was on top of every expect of my case and was available when I was confused about something and answered my concerns promptly when she wasn't available. Attorney Foster was firm, consistent, and of the utmost professionalism. Needless to say when my case was over I was more than pleased with the services provided, she fought for my needs and what I thought was best for my child and we received them all. If you're looking for someone to stand up and advocate for you needs unequivocally you've found her.

Criminal defense lawyer | Sep 14

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have had the pleasure of working with Ms. Foster on a number of criminal matters. In our most recent criminal trial together, we not only obtained a not guilty on 4 criminal counts, but Ms. Foster was able to get a veteran law enforcement officer to recant his entire testimony. This officer was a key witness for the prosecution, and was instrumental in obtaining the acquittal for our client. Ms. Foster is a passionate, caring, and diligent advocate for her clients."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
