Jody Fisher, Truly Compassionate, Professional, Exceptional!

There isn't enough time or space here for us to praise our experience with Jody L. Fisher and her law office staff. My elderly mom, a Villages resident, recently had to go through an agonizing Order of Protection ordeal and divorce after she was a victim of domestic violence. Jody was so experience...d, knowledgeable and exceptionally kind throughout the entire process. She took a personal interest and was concerned and so compassionate toward my mom and myself and did everything in her power to make the ordeal as painless and swift as she possibly could. Her protective and personal approach to her clients and her responsiveness is second to none, even contacting me on weekends if needed. I will continue to use her expertise in any future dealings in the area and highly recommend this law firm if you are wanting an attorney and staff who truly take their cases and clients very seriously and see them as people, not just cases. I can't thank you enough, Jody! Jodi Fulton, Peoria, IL

Would not recommend

Very disappointed. I often was already aware of developments before my attorney’s staff emailed or called me. A great amount of money totally wasted.

Adult adoption

Jody helped me and my adult step son with adoption of adult. She is very helpful to walk you through all the steps. Cost was less than she quoted. Her team was always quick to answer any questions. Very knowledgeable team. The whole process was smooth and easy thanks to Jody and her team.

Criminal Defense Family Law

Thank you Jody Fisher for your guidance, and an ability to explain what my rights are so that I could be more empowered to legally settle family disputes. I have been very impressed with the entire office staff who are professional and diligent in my case. Ms. Fisher was instrumental in winning the f...irst phase of our case. I appreciate the high level of care and professionalism in this firm.

Quickly resolved my case!

The staff was very professional and Jody was amazingly fast in resolving my legal worries. My issues came up during the Covid -19 pandemic - the staff provided great social distancing, protecting me as a client while still effectively working on my case.
