Highly Recommended

I had a very challenging and complicated divorce/child custody case. Ginger is a very thorough and understanding attorney who truly cares about her clients. She was able to work through all the difficulties of my case and get the outcome I was looking for. Without her dedication life would not be the... same for me or my son. Thank you Ginger for all that you have done for us through this very difficult case.

What makes the best attorney

In my opinion whats make the best attorney are: That "us" the clients feel like they care and they can honestly help us in our difficult situations, either minor or major whichever the case may be. I have had the pleasure of being truly blessed to have an attorney who sympathizes and shows compassio...n to my legal needs. Who is extremely family oriented and believes in helping others with a genuine personality. I have been through a life changing process and I couldn't have held out that one day it would be rectified if it wasn't for the support or guidance for my best interest and the patience my attorney have had. I highly recommend Ginger Poynter she is willing to answer all questions and very knowledgeable in her field. A strong lady who is determined and detailed oriented, firm and willing to fight for what she knows is the right side of the law. A woman who will; "get the job done!"

Definitely Recommend

An excellent and experienced litigator and jurist. I highly recommend Ginger. She is helpful in every way, both in person and by email. Don't hesitate to contact her about your case. After contacting several other lawyers who seemed incompetent, I found Ginger to be very knowledgeable and willing to ...work with me.

Recommendation of Ginger Poynter

I would like to take this opportunity to recommend Ginger Poynter and would give her a superior score. In addition to having a high degree of integrity. I have found her to have a tremendous drive and passion for her work and often has gone beyond that which I have experienced with other attorneys. S...he has been my attorney for approximately 7 years now and has been counsel to other members of my family where the cases involved such matters as felony charges, child custody and child support issues. She has handled every case with confidence and integrity. Her personal counsel has saved me from countless mistakes and many sleepless nights.

Professional Lady

Mrs. Poynter, was great to work with. She guided us right through the law of events, and got us out on the other side, with all questions answered. I do recommend her services, especially if you have a teenager. Mrs.Poynter, was recommended to me by a friend who also used her office.

Her skills as an attorney, personal character, and integrity are those which all attorneys should strive for. She has experience both as a prosecutor and a defense attorney which enhances her ability to understand justice and see both sides of a legal matter.
