Excellent Custody Agreement Lawyer

Jodi helped me create a difficult two-state custody agreement. She was knowledgeable and kept everything moving even when I had a concurrent family emergency. More importantly, she is is kind and her emotional intelligence is off the charts!

Outstanding work on our wills

We've moved frequently and every time we moved to a new state we found a new lawyer to help us update our wills. Jodi was hands down the best we've ever worked with. Took the time needed to make sure we understood both our options and the meaning and implications of the various elements of these lega...l documents. Pointed out considerations and options we wouldn't have found ourselves. Thorough, patient, and enjoyable to work with.

Jodi Martin review

We were referred to Jodi by our friends. We meet with her to have wills and living wills drawn up. She was very thorough, explained our options and made suggestions on our behalf. She did a great job.

Professional and thorough

Jodi has always made time for my wife and I throughout the will process and made sure that we had a full understanding of everything. We needed some extra guidance since this was the first will for both us. We are very please with Jodi and definitely recommend her!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
