Excellent Attorney and Team

Attorney Foster and her team were excellent. I always felt well supported and she took the time to explain things to me. Everything went as smoothly as could be expected with a divorce.

Great business

Would recommend anyone to do business with this firm. I’m a single father of 3 and she was able to help me strategically get sole custody of them all. Now I can feel more secure in parenting my kids.

Excellent Attorney

I was referred to Attorney Foster by an attorney that couldn’t take my case due to its nature. She referred me to Attorney Foster (Chinwe). I am truly grateful for that referral. From the moment I met her and her paralegal Gena, I knew I was in great hands. They gave me strength and confidence to pus...h through a difficult situation (divorce). I’m pretty detailed and they took the time to answer EVERY question I had. They explained every step of the process in such detail. When things got stressful for me, they kept me focused. Everything Chinwe set out to do, she accomplished. Not only did I come out with a great outcome, Chinwe kept what was most important to me (safety) at the forefront of the case and never lost sight of it or my needs! She is very knowledgeable of the law and seeks multiple ways to contend on your behalf. Foster Law made it easy for me to trust them and I don’t trust many! Although my case is over, I am at complete rest knowing that I have them on my side and that they are only a phone call/email away!

Superb and Aggressive Legal Expertise!

I retained Ms. Foster for legal representation for a good friend of mine. Her fees were reasonable, and she was very attentive throughout the entire case. My friend has 28 priors of the same or similar domestic charges. Ms. Foster represented him so well, grilling the officer on the stand and made hi...s statement discreditable. Ultimately, the judge dismissed the entire case! I highly recommend her for any domestic or family cases! Thanks Ms. Foster! It has been a pleasure!! LD

Above the Call of Duty!

Attorney Foster came into my case a day before my hearing as I didnt think I had pulled enough resources to even hire a lawyer. We met that evening and prepared for court and all the challenges it brings. Attorney Foster's performance and knowledge in the courtroom were astonishing. Not only did she ...prevent my arrest for alleged child support arrearages, my support was lowered to a realistic payment amount. She also fought hard for my rights and I now have overnight visits with my children while the other party wanted supervised visits! All in all she went above the call of duty and really cared about the outcome of my case. I will never look elsewhere when it comes to family law!!! Thank you so much!

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."
