Ms. Poynter was easy to reach, available for consult upon request, returned my calls promptly, & answered all questions timely. She did a great job representing me, & provided the desired outcome of my case. I would highly recommend her services, & will use her again in the future if needed.
Ginger was appointed my attorney from a previous colleague when unforeseen circumstances caused her to step away from divorce and custody case. Upon the last time my previous lawyer met she told me "I am leaving you in good hands." That statement is undeniably true and accurate. She helped me get on the right track and disclosed everything that was vital to the case. She consulted me numerous times on which documents were relevant to my case and any information she deemed vital to the case. Over the 2 years of the duration of my case, she kept me informed constantly about details via email and phone calls. Before each court date we would have a preliminary hearing just to have updated information and any pressing issues as well as any new court orders issued. She is absolutely the best lawyer I have ever worked with. She made the entire process and way for me to understand and I would most definitely recommend her to everyone I know. I would definitely retain her again if the circumstances should arise.

Not Enough Good Words
I called Ms. Poynter 1 day before court due to having to find a new attorney. She was gracious, professional, and calmed my nerves. We got an appointment that day and she was in court with us the next morning. She was able to get a continuance which allowed for evidence to be gathered and witnesses called. At every meeting with her, she was professional, to the point, and a calming but powerful force in the confusing world of child support/family court. I was convinced I would not find an attorney who would work for the father fairly in a child support issue, no matter who was right or wrong. But Ms. Poynter was in my corner from day one. I could not have asked for a better attorney. I would recommend her to anyone male or female, with child support issues. This is the best experience I have ever had with an attorney. I can't thank her enough for how she handled things for us.

The Best Attorney I Could Have Ever Hoped For!
Ginger helped us in a great time of need for my daughter who lived in California with her mother. My daughter expressed to me that she wanted to live here in Alabama just before going back from her summer visit. I was able to see Ginger last minute just before my daughter had to leave. She heard our case and explained to us that it would be very difficult to modify custody both due to the circumstance of our case and to the law in Alabama.
ButGinger believed in us and took the case knowing it would be difficult, and boy was it difficult. After more than a year of preparation and a reset for our hearing we finally had our day in court. She was masterful in her approach to the case and represented me better than I could have ever hoped for. At the end of the day, we weren't sure if it was enough to win custody of my daughter. Well, not only was it enough to win, the judgement was made on a Sunday which allowed me to pick up my daughter and have her ready to start school and a bertter life here in Alabama.
I never imaginged after the divorce that I could ever have custody of my daughter and it was always a seemingly impossible dream that it would happen one day. When she asked me if she could stay and live with me, I had no choice but to fight for my daughter to give her the life she needs and deserves. Since the day I met Ginger, my fight became hers. She was not just my attorney or an advocate for my daughter and the rest of my family, she became part of my family and will be forever loved and remembered as such in my and in my family's hearts.
I am forever in her debt and believe that no one else could have done what she did with what we had, and I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for the best in representation for family law. Thank you, Ginger from the bottom of my heart!

Amazing attorney, goes above and beyond!
Mrs Poynter was my attorney after a series of poor decisions in my life, and she helped me get help and also represented my best interest every step of the way. She was always an email away, and her office always has someone there to assist. She puts her all into her clients, and she helped me in more ways than one. Her representation has allowed me to start over, and have a shot at a future. And today I am sober, and have been for a long time now. She never treated me like a criminal, but a human being. If you choose Mrs. Poynter not only are you getting the best lawyer in Mobile, but also someone that truly cares, and wants you to succeed. I am forever grateful to her, and definately recommend her for whatever your legal need may be.

Child custody case
I hired Ginger because my ex tried to take my daughter after I remarried and moved out of the area. She was honest and straightforward with me. This was extended 3 times. I finally got my day in court and it was 8 hours of my ex's attorney making me out to be a horrible mother. They twisted my words around, lied and confused me. I honestly felt that Ginger wasn't aggressive enough and I really didn't leave that day feeling that I had won. Well I did win and I've realized that you don't always need to be aggressive. The judge saw through the lies. So thank you Ginger Poynter!! I can't thank you enough for helping me fight to keep my daughter.

Amazing attention to detail...got my criminal case dismissed!
Just a big thank you and a feeling of great relief knowing that my criminal case was dismissed after serious consideration and a great deal of thought and effort was put into whether or not it was to continue the Grand Jury or to be dismissed... Ginger did an exceptional and amazing job as counselor representing me against the State of Alabama. She took time and care personally, in guiding and walking me through the steps as the wheels of justice rolled throughout these last three months; questioning all that the State thought that they had against me in regards to my criminal charge.
-Thank you Ginger

LIFE SAVER
The POYNTERS are a life saver. Never in a million years did I believe I would ever find anyone in this deep South that would fight for me. The Poynters are a formidable force to be reckoned with. They both fought my case even more than a blood relative would. I wish I could go into details but let me just say, if you want the best, get The Poynter's. they are absolute life savers. i cannot over emphasize the utmost respect and love I have for them both. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. 100%

Family like
Ginger has treated me as well as my situation with the Utmost respect. She was up front right away with details and course of action. Ginger was like your mother or auntie that would treat you with the respect at the same time tell you in the horrible situation you're going through just how it was. She is very knowledgeable with everything she handled on my case. She kept me informed and let me know anything every time I had a question. Which was a lot. I unfortunately needed Ginger for another go around over the same thing because I was young and stupid. After a few years she remember me as well as my case. She again told me straight what was happening and what had to happen. I believe with out her and her know how I would've been lost. Ginger has great values and treats you as a concern not just a job. She is involved with you and your case.
I personally hope I never have to use her again but would totally recommend her to handle anything for anyone. Her calm demeanor and strong personality will help anyone with their situation.

Excellent Choice!
I needed an attorney to assist in terminating child support. I read several reviews on Mobile attorneys and liked the reviews for Ms. Poynter. After my first phone call with her I was confident she could get the job done. I am extremely pleased with the services provided by Ms. Poynter. She was very professional, reasonable, and responded immediately to any queries. I highly recommend Ms. Poynter to anyone wanting a positive experience.

An Attorney Who Other Lawyers Call
As an attorney, I appreciate good lawyering. When I needed legal counsel, I made one phone call. Ms. Poynter was able to work me into her schedule quickly, and took the time to allow me a thorough, non-hurried consultation. After listening, really listening, to the problem, she provided me with knowledgeable advice, and she recommended what steps to take next.
With the situation concluded, I can say that the entire process went more smoothly thanks to Ms. Poynter's assistance and counsel. Her advice proved to be spot-on. Almost as importantly, Ms. Poynter was able to help put my mind at ease when it was my time to be the client instead of the lawyer.
I would recommend Ms. Poynter without hesitation.
