Joi Reed Fairell

Before hiring FairellRoy & Associates I reviewed Attorney Fairell's videos under her AVOO profile. They were super useful and informed me of her knowledge and the potential knowledge of the other attorney's at the practice. From searching around and her videos alone I was confident I wanted my case h...andled through this firm. I also did my consult with Attorney Fairell and she further assured me of how I should handle my case, pricing and duration in a realistic manner. I wouldn't say I enjoyed this journey, but I will say Attorney Fairell and her colleagues made my case way less painful that it could've been.

Thank you Fairell Roy & Associates! After encountering two previous attorneys, I am so grateful that a co-worker referred me to this firm to handle my divorce and child support issues. On day one I walked away from my consultation with Ms. Fairell feeling confident that I was in great hands and with ...the assurance that I didn't have to locate another attorney. Their services are thorough and affordable, and I felt like they cared about me. I was kept abreast of my case; my calls and emails were always returned timely with answers to any questions asked. Although I sometimes got frustrated through the process, my attorneys continued to reassure me that everything would be okay. And so it was.. Thank you Ms. Roy, Ms. Fairell and Ms. Cerda for being my team. Blessings

My experience with Joi Fairell and The Fairell Firm was phenomenal! It is obvious that Joi is clear about the vision for her firm and she has imprinted that vision upon her staff. As a family law attorney myself, I am very intense about the practice of law. However, I could not control my emotions... enough to represent myself. I was a somewhat difficult client. Nonetheless, Joi and The Fairell Firm remained professional (yet firm) and patient with me from start to finish. The marketing and presentation of this firm was impressive. I was comforted by the office appearance, staff friendliness and ease of the online case management system. It was a plus to go online at anytime and track the activity on my case. Joi and The Fairell Firm obtained a favorable settlement on my behalf when my life savings was subject to equitable division. Because of their legal knowledge, attention to detail and team work, they applied pressure that the opposing party was simply not ready to receive. To say the least, the services rendered were worth every dollar I spent! I HIGHLY recommend this firm for a hotly contested divorce.

Attorney Fairell was wonderful. She was concerned about my goals, and focused my frustrations into a realistic expectation of outcomes and objectives. This helped to me to decompress mentally from what initially felt overwhelming. Furthermore, I felt as though she was my personal advocate, with my ca...se and my child's best interest at heart. She was well worth the minimal consultation fee. If you are looking for an attorney who is professional and considerate, contact her today.

I retained The Fairell Firm to take over my custody case as my previous attorney fell ill. The representation that I received was average at best. During the process, I felt Insignificant; like I was part of a large bureaucratic organization where I was just a number to bill. There was a fee for E...VERY CONTACT I had with the attorney. Example, I am the custodial parent, but my ex wanted final say on all major decisions regarding our kids. Mr. Roy called me and left a message asking if I would agree. I called her back and told her no, I need to have final say. Each phone call was less than 20 seconds, but I was billed $25 for each (total of $50 for less than 1 minute). This is in addition to her time for documenting the parenting plan. EVERY contact was a fee, thus the only update I received was by looking at the invoices. To be fair, the contract they have you sign do indicate you will be charged for every contact with the attorney. But, I was expecting periodic update on my case, which never happen. While reviewing once of my invoices, I notice that Ms. Roy sent over documentation where I agreed to use my ex address as the kids school address. This meant the kids would attend the school in my ex’s school zone and I would have to drop them off and pick them up daily to and from school. When I asked Ms. Roy about this, she said we had an extensive conversation about the subject and I agreed to it. (I know I was emotional, but that is something I would never agree to. I am not sure how I, or anyone, can drop off and pick up two kids at different times, 7:05 – 2:15 and 9:00 – 4:00, while doing a 9- 5 job). Yes, I was billed for that conversation. Documents were submitted on my behalf that I did not have an opportunity to review. I felt Ms. Roy was unprepared for our first court appearance which I cost me $3,500 in fees to opposing counsel. Prior to hiring The Fairell Firm, I looked at several other attorneys. The Fairell Firm was local and convenient, and I believed I would get the best representation. Sad to say, I do not feel I got the best representation. I do have another family issue and in need of legal representation, but I will not hire The Fairell Firm. I will begin my search once again for a new attorney. Thank you.
