Montana's Best!

For approximately 1 year I was involved in a Montana State Common-Law Marriage Dissolution. My research for an attorney that would fit my particular needs was troublesome and exhausting at times to say the least. My search came to an end when I retained Lucy from Judrich Law Firm located in Missoul...a, MT. Lucy was very experienced in these types of claims and throughout my ordeal she was diligent, informative and compassionate. I knew there was a long road ahead for me but with these qualities and much more Lucy was able to secure an ending to this experience that I was happy with. I highly recommend Lucy for any of your legal needs. Darby, MT.

Great family law attorney in Missoula

Lucy helped me immensely in my parenting agreement. She helped advocate on my behalf to secure the parenting time a dedicated father should have. I would certainly recommend her.

Divorce

I would definitely recommend Lucy to anyone needing a good Divorce Attorney. She was there to answer my questions and to help me through one of the most difficult times in my life. She kept me informed every step of the way and we were able to be in front of the judge and finalized in less than 3 m...onths.

The Best

Lucy has provided me a closure to a custody dispute that has lasted over 6 years. I had hired a lawyer back in '05 and the way he handled my case left me feeling like he didn't really care and he was only doing it because I had paid him. I feel Lucy took my case very serious and was available to me a...t any time I needed. Believe me when I say I called her a lot! Every time, always answering my questions and giving me advice. The custody dispute got to the point where it was nasty, Lucy was able to help me through a lot of that and, as it stands right now, I have gotten everything I've asked for from the judge. Something I haven't been able to do by myself or with previous lawyers. She really has made this so much easier. Lucy was able to get me full custody of both my daughters. My youngest isn't my biological daughter. After 5 years of DFS involvement, police reports, documented abuse, I tried everything to get the kids in my care. I worked very hard and got as much legal help as I could from the self-help Law Center. Nothing would happen. I finally broke down and contacted Lucy, who was recommended to me be my kid's counselor. It wasn't but 5 months before we were in court and the judge granted me custody of my kids. Their mom fought it all the way. I have limited experience with other lawyers but I can say that if I ever get another lawyer they will be held at a high standard and have some big shoes to fill. Lucy is incredibly understanding and will work with you to fulfill all your legal needs. Lucy comes highly recommended, I can say with confidence that Lucy is one of the BEST, not just as a lawyer but as a person.

child custody

Lucy represented my son and I in a child custody case for me to receive custody of my 13 year old son that was living out of state in Alabama. we had a severe time issue at hand As for he was scheduled to fly back home and did not want to go. she went way above and beyond and got it done extremely fa...st. she stayed in contact with me the entire time and kept me up to date on every move that she was making. I am very pleased with Her service. I do not have one complaint about anything I highly recommend her for any family law matter. sincerely Art
