Joan Elizabeth Champagne

The best choice I could have made to guide me through a very contentious divorce was Joan Champagne. She understood my circumstances and gave me the support and encouragement I needed to get through it. You see...Joan is not only a great attorney; but, she cares about her clients. She is there eve...ry time you reach out to her. She must wear roller skates because she gets things done fast !! She is the "Voice of Reason" when you are ready to lunge forward or regress out of exhaustion. She is a constant source of encouragement and support you need when you are going through difficult family issues. Joan will be your champion, advocate, and friend in your times of need. She absolutely is the quintessential attorney...and I'm proud to recommend her.

I hired Ms Champagne to assist me in an on-going child support case. I found her and had a telephone call during which I found out that she was a former Assistant District Attorney over child support cases. We also discussed that not all absentee fathers are deadbeats and some of us experience challe...nges that were manipulated by the custodial parent. Ms Champagne earned my confidence through that telephone call and reassured me that she has no personal bias towards men that are absent parents. I hired her and she immediately began a thorough analysis of my case and we discussed what actions would be cost effective and what actions would be cost prohibitive in my case. She discussed these with me until she was sure that I understood the applicable laws in my case and was comfortable with the decisions that I reached. She maintained contact with me as needed on a timely basis. I received a detailed expense report from her office monthly so that I could track my case financial impact as well as the case progress. In the end, Ms Champagne saved me more money on this case than I was charged in legal fees which was exactly my goal. In her thoroughness, she discovered an error made by 'THE COURT' of jurisdiction that would have been costly to me. At the risk of sounding distrusting of the court system, would anyone within the court system that is stacked against absent fathers have caught and corrected this error? I think not! I am completely satisfied with the representation of Ms. Champagne and the outcome of my case. If you are the absent parent in a child support case in Indiana and want a professional and unbiased attorney handling your case, give this lady a call!

Joan Champagne helped me with child support changes. I had one child already in college, and I had one child approaching college, and my ex husband was just "adjusting" the child support of his own accord. Joan Champagne efficiently and effectively helped me to get the child support legally and ac...curately adjusted. Her knowledge and expertise on each and every question or concern I had about the child support changes and options were extremely helpful and comforting to me. I knew I was being "taken care of" professionally and accurately. And Joan Champagne handled all that I had hired her to do in a LOT less time than other lawyers I had worked with would have done. This saved me time, frustration and money! Thanks, Joan, forall of your help!! For the first time, I felt VERY FAIRLY represented!!!!!!

Joan performed flawlessly in a very difficult family matter concerning protection of our mother in a guardianship case and two small claims cases as they were related. She listened very well, considered all options, took an emergency stand on my/mothers behalf by unknown advances by the other parties..., she stood up to their aggressive acts. She is completely trustworthy and nonjudgemental. She handled all aspects of the cases with confidence and class. I will call her again if needed.
