Excellent easy to get in touch with

Judy has been my attorney for 3 years with my divorce and custody case. She has been my biggest advocate through the entire process!! When Judy believes in your case she will fight for you never giving up! I️ have recommended her to several friends/ associates all of whom had a great experience with ...her and her staff. maybe this sounds a bit over the top but. I will truly be forever grateful for DeVriendt and associates.

Terrible!!!

Judy is terrible. She Works in quantity not quality. She has so many cases she can never remember the facts of yours. You will spend 85% of your time catching her up on the facts of your case each and every time you meet with her which is generally in the hallway right before your court appearance. T...he whole staff when you can get ahold of them treats you poorly. The constant excuses of the emails not working or a employee who left or the phone system is down gets really old really fast all of this of course you're being billed for and you pay a lot of money for very poor service. You would do yourself a favor to look elsewhere for an attorney.

Best family lawyer

I never wrote a review before but I thought after all these years and after all the hard work I felt that my lawyer deserved to be recognized for what she has done for me. I have been a client of Judy's for about three years and I must say that she is excellent at what she does. Judy protected my fa...mily and I every step of the way. She is very family oriented so she understands a lot about what it takes to raise a child. I will tell you this, the legal system is very slow however judy pushed to get things done as fast as possible. My situation was very messy and it took a very long time to get things to where they are today but I will say judy was patient and understanding and explained everything step by step if there was a question that she could not answer she found it for me immediately. Divorce can be very stressful and cause a lot of anxiety there were times in the middle of the night that I had questions and surprisingly there were nights that she got back to me right away. Now I will say this, every lawyer is expensive however you get what you pay for and I will say that Judy was worth every single dime. I will recommend her to anyone that needs legal assistance because I know that she will work very hard for you. Judy will protect you and go above and beyond to make sure things get done right. I hope that people findon't this review helpful and takey advice when I say if you need legal help this is where you need to go

GO ELSEWHERE.....

Please do your homework and read other ~bad~ reviews on this lawyer. She did not do anything for me, there was absolutely no communication even when I had emailed her and asked for a meeting. In court, it was not her that was representing me, it was her Paralegal who was doing the work. Nothing wa...s taken care of after 7 months, I had to revise my situation and ~fire~ her and retain a new lawyer. More $$ than I wish to disclose and absolutely nothing was done, not even child support issues. Please look for other hard, working lawyer's in the area, my new lawyer is doing a wonderful job and has found a lot of error's that just don't even make sense at this point in the divorce.

Excellent Attorney

Judy was compassionate and always there for me through out my divorce. Her skill level was amazing. She told me what would happening from beginning to end. I would recommend her to everyone
