Probate

Atty. Jodie McGill & her staff was very pleasant to work with. Very informative and caring, I can’t say enough great things about them. With the help of Atty. McGill we were able to prove that my dads Will was fraudulent. Someone had written a Will from back I believe in 1986 and it surfaced while tr...ying to become my dads Personal Rep., Nov 2018. She was able to prove this was not my dad’s handwriting nor signature! I would definitely recommend her to everyone I know that may need her type of service!

Always had my back

Jodie was so great. She always had my best interests at heart and did a wonderful job of fighting for my child support and well being. She was great at getting around my ex's negativity to get the job done right for me. I am very happy I was referred to her. She made sure I was well taken care of.... Thank you Jodie!

Review of my Case

Jodie took on my divorce case about seven years ago. In my case I was closed out of all the finances from the beginning. I hired Jodie to help me, and she had to work hard for everything, each step of the way, because the other lawyer and my ex husband took the stance that they wouldn't give up an...ything At the time she didn't know if taking it to court or settling out of court was best. But, I believe that through out the ordeal, she was a steady and compassionate force. She was good about returning phone calls and emails promptly, answering my questions clearly when I asked . Also I was always treated professionally and respectfully. It is never inexpensive to hire a lawyer, but she seemed to be careful not to run up the bill in excess.

Collaborative Divorce

I chose a collaborative divorce after attending a meeting about the process. I thought it was best to keep our children out of the process and not have a judge make the decisions for our children that we could make. Jodie was then recommended to me by a friend. Divorce is an ugly process, but Jodi...e guided me well in making the decisions that needed to be made and kept the process on track, without pushing me. She would suggest taking a break from the process if needed. Hashing things out at the meetings with the ex and his attorney are not easy, Jodie knew when I was upset and would call me afterwards to talk things through, explain things to me, and sometimes get me to look at things differently. From the first four way meeting to the signing of the decree, it was a five month process. I would highly recommend Jodie for this divorce process. She is very professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and understanding.
