Attentive and caring

I hired Jody after one meeting. She listened to my concerns and requests. She let me know all of my options if my requests were not approved by my soon to be ex. With care and guidance, the divorce was completed with as much as can be. I would definitely refer her to anyone wanted someone professiona...l and caring that will also listen to your needs.

Amazing attorney , caring and very honest

Jody resolved my case with ease in my divorce , made it simply and easy process. With my custody case she gave me the facts , her honest opinion and let me decide what route I wanted to take. She has worked around my work schedule so things were not an inconvenience to me as a single mom. She has wor...ked very hard and proficient on my case.

Divorce

When I first went to Jody for my free consult, she informed me of my options and said it was all up to me. She performed professionally and in my opinion great. I got what I asked for in my divorce and I will have a new home thanks to her and her whole team. Thank you Jody and team

Excellent lawyer!

I was very pleased with Jody! I needed to file an order with my ex-husband's workplace about getting the portion of his retirement that I was awarded. He tried to be a real jerk about it but Jody was very tough and professional and got him to sign the order in no time! I will definitely call her agai...n if I need a lawyer.

Amazing!

When I went to Jody for help I was in the Middle of a custody case that was not going my way. She was able to pull me out of the hole and I ended up getting everything I asked for plus some. She's fast, tough and on top of her game! I will definitely be using her for any future issues that may come ...up!
