Posted by anonymous | April 14, 2015 | Wrongful Death

Thank-you

Our mom was murdered about 6 years ago by a very disturbed acquaintance. Mr. Woodard took on the case for us pro-bono . When all was said and done we were awarded but with alot of footwork for Mr. Woodard and his staff. Thanks to him and his team for handling our wrongful death lawsuit.

The Best Lawyer in Covington County

I got into a situation a while back and needed a lawyer. A lawyer that was trustworthy, and one that didn't mind going head to head with the opposing side. Mr. Woodard turned out to be more than I could have ever asked for. He's not a lawyer who will go behind closed doors and make deals to benefi...t people other than his clients. Mr. Woodard is honest, hardworking, knowledgeable, and is the top lawyer of Covington County. He resolved my case very quickly and I received the verdict I was seeking. Thanks Mr. Woodard.

More than a lawyer

I found myself in a situation a few years back that I needed a attorney, for the first time in my life. I contacted Mr. Woodard to see if he could help me and he gave me the assurance and he followed through for me ..

Great Lawyer!

I was in a car wreck and made a mistake and used a TV lawyer who did nothing on my case. Mr. Woodard was awesome and worked out the case to get the medical bills paid and got me much more than the previous guy said I would get. He also helped out my mom with a debt collector and she was very releiv...ed about that. He is easy going and explained everything.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
