You will not find a tougher or smarter defense attorney. Jodi will fight every step of the way for her clients, analyzing each case to find the most effective way to tell the story and get results. She also takes the time to help colleagues learn the ropes, which I appreciate greatly!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
From the time I have known Miss Soyars, she has put forth relentless work in favor of her clients. As a prosecutor, I have personally witnessed a case in which she was able to find legal flaws with the State's case and win suppression of the evidence, resulting in a dismissal of the charge. She does not give in easily, and I suppose this contributes to her stellar reputation among attorneys.
