This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Grateful for her compassionate advocacy

Judy, Rich, and Lavonna have been so incredibly helpful during what has been one of the most difficult times of my life. Judy has been available outside normal business hours when I have had time-sensitive issues occur. She has reached out to check on how I'm doing and how my kids are doing. Rich ...has walked me through information related to paperwork, filings, and questions I've had along the way. Lavonna kept me updated on issues related to a hearing and was patient with all of my additional follow up questions/comments. Judy has also reached out several times to give me pep talks to hang in there throughout the process. Her sense of humor, heart, and creative solutions reinforced I made the right choice going with Brazill Hester. They are truly compassionate advocates and I highly recommend them for any family law needs.

Caring, knowledgeable and efficient

Judy and her team were and are simply incredible. She is kind, considerate and knows the legalities of divorce very well. She knew exactly what my case needed at the exact right time. She made me feel secure during a tumultuous time, my divorce was executed professionally and with a fair and benefici...al outcome. I can only recommend her in all aspects regarding divorce and family law.

Poor Answering Service

Lady answering the phone sounds like she either hates her job or is just flat out lazy. When asked a simple question of whether Judy gives a free consultation she said "hmm, their website doesnt mention if theres a fee" (no duh) then continued to ask for my ph no, email address, zip code, (all unders...tandable since this was probably protocol) then my physical address...Im sure more questions were to follow. I just had a simple question but could not get an answer to save my life. Moving on to another attorney and didnt even get my foot in the door!

Passionate, thorough, attentive

I cannot speak highly enough of my experience as Judy Hester's client. My custody battle had been going on for nearly a year when I hired Judy, and she immediately delved into the details and made a plan of action, the result of which is everything I dreamed of. Judy was fully attentive and responsiv...e, and if she could not get back to me about something immediately, one of the other attorneys in her practice did. Judy made me feel comfortable and confident. She is extremely thorough. I cannot say enough good things about her!

Excellent lawyer

I am incredibly thankful to have found a lawyer who made herself available during high stress moments in my life when legal advice was needed quickly. Judy and her team were professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and consistently worked hard on my case for over two years. I never felt like just "an...other client" but was treated with respect and care. I highly recommend Judy Hester. I couldn't thank her enough for helping to protect me and my child.
