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.

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!

Judy Hester is an honest, ethical, hard working and caring attorney you can trust

I couldn't be more pleased with Judy Hester and the Brazill Hester law firm. I found them online with great reviews and they surpassed all of my expectations. Throughout the entire case, they were transparent, responsive, friendly, passionate, and tenacious. The opposition threw so many curveballs a...t us but Judy didn't waiver. She kept the pressure on and in the end got a better settlement than I could have ever expected. I always felt like an important person and not just another client. She responded to emails and phone calls in ridiculously fast fashion and set expectations so accurately that I always felt confident where we stood with the case. It was obvious that the entire staff really cared about us and not just our case. They took the time to really understand our needs. I will continue to refer anyone and everyone I know looking for an attorney to use Judy Hester exclusively. Judy and her team are caring and kind, smart and clever, and willing to do anything they can to help their clients. I highly recommend giving them a call. It only took a few minutes talking to Judy before I realized we chose the right firm.

Knowledgable, Efficient and Caring - Hire Attorney Hester!

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.
