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.
