An amazing attorney and a caring person

When I was going through the most difficult time in my life, Jody represented me in my divorce. She was kind, and truly listened when I needed a friend. It was as if he hurt for me. She is an amazing and very capable attorney. One that does not think about how much she will make on a case, but on...e who tries to help a person through a terrible ordeal. Would I recommend her? Every time... thank you Jody.

Always helpful

many years ago Jody handled my divorce. Since then she has always been helpful answering any of my legal questions.

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.

Absolutely one of the best!

Jody has been my lawyer since day one of my divorce process in 2014. The first moment we meet it was not only her compassion but her guidance and knowledge that won my confidence. Since then she has been by my side to help through child custody, Lombardo trial for schooling and child support. All suc...cessfully and thoroughly handled. I cannot imagine working with anyone else and I would highly recommend her.
