Judy Gale Hester

Judy Hester represented me in a divorce settlement. She convinced me that a 60/40 split of assets, favoring the woman with 60% of the marital estate, was the norm in Indiana. She also convinced me that it is perfectly normal to give half of one’s pension in a QDRO as part of the settlement. I learned... later that these two statements are both false, but it was too late by then. My ex-wife will get a sizeable portion of my pension income for the rest of my life. It is difficult to estimate the enormous financial loss that Judy Hester has caused me.

My former husband filed for divorce two years ago. For various reasons, I had to ask my lawyer to withdraw, but had a mediation and court date in a few days. I had previously talked with Attorney Hester and was impressed with her knowledge and understanding. I hired her on a Monday and on Tuesday ...she was at my mediation session working out a detailed divorce decree. She didn't stop until the agreeement was signed the next day, avoiding the court date. She did a great job for me and I will save so much on future legal costs because she was able to craft an agreement that will hold up for a long time, and addresses college, which my first child will be attending in a year and a half. My previous lawyers left me open for problems, and I spent two full years with constant worry and a large legal bill with nothing to show for it. Thanks to Judy Hester, I have peace of mind, and will be able to move forward with a great future for my family.
