Above and Beyond Expectations... Wow!

I was sent to Woody Law firm as part of the Colorado Bar Association’s (CBA) Appellate Pro Bono Program for the appeal of a family court outcome. Danaé and Jenna worked with me on my appeal. Danae was very straight forward about what to expect with the appeal process. She clearly explained the pot...ential outcomes, the parts of the case that were appealable, and the process that would be used. Prior to my appeal, I worked with a few different family law attorneys, and I have never worked with any so competent as Danaé and Jenna. Their knowledge of the law is incredible, and the research performed by Danaé and Jenna was flawless. All documents were extremely well prepared. It was obvious the amount of hard work and dedication they put toward my case. We won our appeal, and I have opted to hire Danaé and Jenna as my attorneys for the post-appeal matter.

"Although Ms. Woody is a young attorney, her depth of understanding of the law by the answers that she provides in her responses on Avvo reminds me of my fellow colleagues that have practiced for 25 years. Her responses show her keen intellect, great common sense, and a true compassion for people that most attorneys are not known for. I would highly recommend Ms. Woody to anyone needing a good family law attorney and I would not think twice about referring clients to her, knowing that they would be in very capable hands. Hiring her might very well be the best decision that you ever make."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
