Stephen James Fozard

Upon first meeting Stephen, the first thing I noticed was how humble he is. This is obviously a man who in his field because he really believes in the work he does. During the retention process, he was fair and up front about his fees - and that didn't change during the proceedings. I hired him durin...g a custody battle. And, while he is soft spoken, he was firm when he needed to be. As well as knowledgeable in all aspects of his craft. He will stand up for you. Overall, I highly recommend Stephen to anyone who may be fighting for their rights as a parent. He will not let you down

Attorney Fozard handled my custody case, which had several complex and unusual challenging circumstances. Throughout the entire process, from initial consultation to final orders, I never doubted my decision to work with Stephen. He is very knowledgeable, responsive, and down to Earth. He unders...tands family law very well, and will tell it to you straight in giving you accurate and valuable insights on what’s possible, what’s reasonable, what likely outcomes are at each step in the process, etc. He doesn’t beat around the bush, but at the same time is polite and pleasant to interact with. He will not send you in circles to rack up “billable hours” chasing nonsense, nor will he allow opposing counsel to. He’s very quick to get derailed action and dialogue back on track behind the scenes and in the court room. He has an excellent courtroom presence and demeanor. He comes to court with his facts straight and his homework completed and is an extremely effective advocate. All of these items aside, which is basically me stating that I feel he is a very competent and capable attorney, I found in my interactions with him that he is also a genuinely good person. He has a high level of integrity, and beyond representing you, it was also clear to see that he had a very human focus on achieving what was “best for the kids” in my case, not simply what I wanted versus what opposing party wanted. He will represent you well, he will guide you responsively and accurately, he will do his homework and come prepared, and if your experience is anything like mine your interactions with him will likely be the only positive part of finding yourself in a situation where you need a family law attorney. My recommendation for Mr. Fozard could not be higher or more pronounced. I am certain that if I needed to ever retain future counsel for family court matters, he will be my first and final stop every single time. Excellent experience working with him across the board.

Attorney Fozard has been absolutely amazing to work with! He is very clear and direct with the guidance he provides you, fully explaining the reasoning behind the direction he is giving. He ensures you understand the process in the current state and what is to come. He is incredibly prompt to resp...ond to any email or phone call. What sets him apart most is he isn't afraid to be direct and blunt with you in helping you decide the proper actions and responses that would be best in situations that involve children to ensure the children remain a the forefront and aren't put in the middle. Highly Recommend Atty. Fozard, you will not be disappointed!!

When you are going through something as emotional as a divorce, you need someone who is calm, cool and very competent at your side. Mr. Fozard is kind, professional and he stays focused on the goal. My ex-wife went through two different attorneys and both of them tried starting silly arguments with... us that quite frankly just rack up the legal fees . . . .. good for the lawyers, bad for the clients. Mr. Fozard shut that down immediately and kept the process moving forward. Also of note, his communication and follow through are absolutely outstanding. While hopefully I will never need his services again, I know I will be keeping in touch with him, as he is that type of individual!

Attorney Fozard has gone above and beyond representing a loved one in their messy divorce. He inherited a complete mess from her previous attorney and has done everything in his power to protect her and her children. Stephen is prompt in responding to any questions and concerns with sound legal ad...vice. More importantly, I truly believe he cares. He is a great attorney and an even better person. Without hesitation, if I ever need an attorney for any reason going forward, I will give his office a call first.
