Joedy Thurston did a tremendous job for me

I had an issue with my ex spouse in which I couldn't resolve without professional help. In was in regards to refusal of my parenting time that was court ordered by my ex. I live out of state in California so not being local to resolve my issues I did a google search and Cantor Law Group was the fir...st Attorney on my search. I called and they accepted me for a consultation on the same date. After my initial consultation I decided to hire Cantor Law Group to handle my case. I saw that Cantor Law has the highest rating you can receive from a Law Firm. After leaving a retainer fee I was assigned to Joedy Thurston to handle my case. I must say that I am extremely satisfied that she handled my case. She did a absolutely thorough review of my situation and knew exactly what I needed and gave me excellent advice on what we needed to do to get my situation handle. My ex-spouse didn't want to settle our dispute regarding monetary compensation and wanted to go to trial. Joedy prepared my case very thoroughly and I was very impressed with her and her para-legal Barbara Mendoza. They emailed all the paperwork that was filed with the court so I had a knowledge as to what was prepared for trial. The day before my trial I met with Joedy and saw all the work that was put into my case and the binder with all the information that was prepared for trial. At the trial she presented an excellent case for me that she was showing the Judge at the Superior Court in Surprise, AZ. Joedy was very precise. Her knowledge of the Family Law was very impressive. My case was ruled in my favor in which the Judge saw my side of the law. I was very happy with the result. If you are looking to resolve a dispute with Divorce, Seperation of Family Law matter then I would highly highly recommend Cantor Law Group to handle your case. I can see why they have the ratings that they do. It was well worth the money that was spent to resolve my situation. I should not have the same issues in the future that I had gone through over the past 2 springs break getting parenting time with my daughter due to the handling of my case from Cantor Law. I give Cantor Law Group a 5 star rating and my attorney Joedy Thurston and her para-legal Barbara Mendoza 5 stars. Thanks you so much for handling my case. I highly recommend them to handle your Family issues.

Joedy Thurston Review

I hired Cantor Law Group to handle my divorce and I am very happy that I did. I was assigned to Joedy Thurston who would end up representing me and my case. Joedy made a very difficult and emotional time in my life as painless and pleasant as it could possibly be. From the first conversation I had... with her, I knew that she was going to get me through this situation in a very timely and effective manner. Her extreme knowledge of the divorce laws were evident with every question and issue I presented her with. I was impressed with how quick and detailed she was with getting back to me on every e-mail I sent her over the duration of my case. She came through for me with getting everything I wanted out of my divorce. I feel Joedy went above and beyond the calI of duty to represent me in a very professional and caring way. I didn't just feel like a case number to her. I felt like she was really out for my best interest. I would highly recommend anybody going through a divorce like I did, to hire Cantor Law Group and Joedy Thurston to represent them.

2/29 divorce litigation, mediation.

Joedy was supportive, knowledgeable, made excellent recommendations, and definitely represented my best interest during the negotiations. I am very grateful to have her as my lawyer during these challenging times. She is a first rate divorce attorney.

Review/Recommendation

Joedy is a straight shooter who will let you know up front what she expects of you and if you even have a case. Her honesty and integrity are of the highest caliber. I have been fighting an 8-year custody battle for my little girl and I had some irregularities in my case that Joedy was able to help ...me out with and provide the knowledge that I needed to make sound decisions when it came to this case. I let Joedy take command over this case as I was wore out from the fight. She is a great asset to have on your side and I would highly recommend Joedy to anyone having issues with child custody/child support.

Posted by Jared | February 20, 2015 | Child Custody

Hardworking, trustworthy, personal lawyer

I was in a rough situation with my ex. After 5 years of being divorced, I learned that she was abusing drugs, and my children were being neglected and put in danger. I immediately called cps based on the reports I was hearing from my children. I also filed for sole custody. When cps came to visit afy...er notifying her beforehand, she was prepared. She had threatened the kids (in the cps report) and forced them into saying things that provoked cps to take the kids from me. She filed abuse charges and a restraining order against me and I lost my kids. This is very easy to do, because with these kind of allegations you are guilty until proven innocent. This is when I contacted Joedy. Long story short, it took over a year and a half, with Joedy helping me the whole way, to get my kids out of that situation and home safe with me. She took on the case, which I'm being told was one of the most complex cases she's had to deal with, being that it went from family court, to criminal court, to cps court, and back to family court, and did exceptionally well in helping guide me through all the roadblocks and obstacles. She took the case to a personal level, and I coukd really tell that she actually cared for the best interest of my children as well as myself. She helped find me a criminal lawyer, and walked me through all the steps to getting my kids back. She is very honest and very helpful, and for a little lady she really can get very aggressive when needed. I would recommend Joedy to anyone having issues and needing a lawyer in a family case. She is a true professional. My family is so thankful to be back together and it couldn't have been done without her help.
