A blessing during a really hard time

I found Joedy right as I was about to hire another attorney. I'm glad I made this choice. She has been a very bright part of my life in a dark tunnel. She is very honest and straight forward. No false promises but you can tell she is not "just doing her job" she stays up late nights working for her ...clients and sacrifices alot of her time to ensure others are safe and things are done decently and in order. She is careful and precise. She's allowed me to trust her with a very horrible situation and scary situation for me and my children. She is also affordable. It's really been a long battle that would have been longer and more sad if she had not come along and help me with my case. Everything she has assured me of can be backed by law showing she is very educated and fit for what she does. She has educated me of things along the way as well. Thank you for everything you've done and I really hope that you are blessed tremendously for serving people with helping them resolve family matters.

Professional - Practical - Reliable - Supportive

Through the divorce and all of the legal maze that goes with it, Joedy kept me on track while I was going through the emotional highs and lows of it all.. She provided clear, concise direction, set the expectations throughout the process and helped me see through the forest of what was most important... and what to let go. Her legal expertise and advice is top notch and I highly recommend her. Thank you Joedy!

Joedy Handled my divorce with sensitivity and respect

Joedy was so great handling my divorce. As most people would probably agree, when you are getting divorced you can't think and feel so helpless. Joedy was more than helpful with explaining things to me I would understand and I was clear about every step. She made sure I was making the best decisions... for myself and my divorce. You could not go wrong hiring Joedy she will be sensitive and respectful ,and lets you know the law and how it could benefit you. There were times Joedy would even call me late at night cause I was so concerned about an answer and she did not want me to worry. She handled everything in a timely matter and did not charge me any expense I did not understand. Thank you Joedy so much.

Highly recommend!

Joedy went above and beyond to get me what I needed and wanted. She always responded to me in a timely manner and was able to clearly tell me what she believed would benefit me the most. She consulted me on the long term effects of things to ensure I knew I was making the right choices. Through the h...ard time, she made sure my needs were met and was compassionate while still doing her job. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone. I feel blessed she was assigned to be my attorney.

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.
