Rockstar attorney who I would recommended to anyone in the Los Angeles area

After reading another great legal answer from Attorney Routledge here on Avvo, I came today to write a review thanking her. Then I saw another similar recent review (from July 2023) saying many of the things I would say; I would recommend you read that review, if available, from July 28, 2023- I full...y agree with the author's feedback. But as for me, I am a paralegal helping my wife with a custody case, as we previously had a disastrous experience with an attorney (someone with a family law "specialist" designation, no less). With that person, we expended significant amounts of money to not only fail in our case but also to largely receive far less valuable insights and good information than received just from reading Attorney Routledge's detailed responses, including her feedback to a handful of our questions. Based on her thoughtful responses here on Avvo alone it is clear that Attorney Routledge cares about helping people and that she is VERY good at what she does. She is a true family law specialist, someone we would absolutely be happy to be represented by if we were in her geographical area. I would also recommend anyone call her for a consult, if she has time, to clarify issues and get insights for hiring someone in your area. We definitely plan to do this. Like I said, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND talking to Attorney Routledge; I was self-educated on the family law process the first time my wife went to trial (including after hiring an attorney) and then got my paralegal certification as a result. And I can say Attorney Routledge's answers could serve as a Family Law class in and of themselves.

Totally ineffective

In my opinion and in my personal experience, Judy is totally ineffective as a problem solver. I entrusted her with a very sensitive and emotional issue and she only threw fuel on the fire and made it worst. She lacks responsiveness, doesn’t keep up with technology and can’t read or understand financi...al statements (including a DissoMaster), which is totally bizarre for a family law attorney. This lack of understanding puts clients at a disadvantage when negotiating with the other side or when trying to persuade them or find a solution. Judy gets lost and confused in complex situations—including custody and spousal support. She clings to one element of a situation and can’t see the forest through the trees. When she gets frustrated, she name calls, which is unprofessional. Her actions lead to more headache and TONS of attorneys fees. If you’re looking for a family law attorney, look elsewhere and make sure that professional is a Certified Family Law Specialist certified by the Association of Certified Family Law Specialists.

Intelligent and intuitive

Ms Routledge has advised me regarding several questions in my family law matter. My case is incredibly complicated, yet she has insightfully assisted me in areas that only a skilled lawyer could address. I appreciate you Judith.

Excellent!

I spoke with Ms Routledge yesterday regarding a ridiculous case brought against me from an ex. She was very helpful and has a lot of knowledge regarding the laws of family court. She was very reasonable in her fees. Most attorneys wanted a huge retainer for what will be a 5 minute hearing, for the mo...st ridiculous case on earth. If you need help, she is who to turn to.

"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Routledge consistently demonstrates a broad knowledge of the law, a keen yet not cynical understanding of human nature, and compassion for those in need. She is truly generous with her time and expertise, and her answers to questions are clearly guided by a desire to help rather than just earn points and gain recognition. She is one of the few attorneys on Avvo whose answers I read accepting them as part of my professional development in family law."
