Very Satified

Attorney Foster provided Great representation for my case. She was very informative every step of the way. I have never been through court proceeding before and Attorney Foster made me feel at ease thought out the entire process. She was very good with answering all of my questions I had concerning m...y case. I would recommend her to anyone that is going through legal issues.. Thanks Attorney Foster!

Excellent

I was nervous when first contacting this attorney for a civil matter because I was already represented by another attorney that took my money and did nothing on my case. Attorney foster met with me and addressed all my concerns calmly and professionally. Her price was fair and she detailed everythin...g in our contract. She is busy but when you call if she doesn't answer she will usually call you back within 24 hours and/ or follow up with an email. Any questions or concerns I had she listened to me and explained everything where I understood fully. She came prepared to court and although I was a nervous wreck she handled the matter with poise and dignity.

Top-notch lawyer with results

I simply can't say enough about Attorney Foster's professionalism, sound advice and pitbull-like strategy in helping me with my case. She always answered my emails or phone calls in a timely manner. She made sure she was very knowledgeable about my case and kept me informed about paperwork due and co...urt dates. There were no surprises with court fees as she kept me abreast along the process. She knows the court system inside and out and in the end she was able to provide me with the results needed to fight my case and win. She is straightforward, precise and is worth every penny and more. Attorney Foster is the truth.

Excellent Choice!

I secured Chinwe's services for a parent custody and child support modification. Chinwe was patient and knowledgeable, yet firm and no nonsense when negotiations were underway. She was also easy to reach and responded quickly to all inquiries. I would definitely recommend her services.

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."
