5 stars and I will tell you why

Justine is dependable, knowledgeable, and was there when I needed her. She was well prepared in all our court appearances and I felt that I was well represented. When I was sitting in the courtroom listening to the other cases and other attorneys, I felt bad for the other people because their at...torneys were ill prepared and did not do the proper steps in their cases. That's when I appreciated and realized that I was very blessed because Justine was my attorney. She kept me up to date with details in my case. She would also followed up on matters wherever the other attorney dropped the ball. Divorce is a very traumatic experience and you need to be able to rely on your attorney to protect you and to make sure you're well represented. There were times where I just told Justine that my own judgement was clouded and that I needed her to do the thinking for me. I trusted her that much and I'm glad that I did. I felt protected. I felt at ease and I felt assured that If I forgot something, Justine wouldn't. Justine was so easy to talk to and easily accessible and she answered questions I had-- promptly and clearly. She was fiscally responsible. She sent me an invoice promptly and gave me different options for taking care of the bill. She actually would tell me ways on how to save money as far as handling matters in the case. My friend recommended Justine and I felt very comfortable with her on the phone. I had an urgent matter and sent texts and calls out to different attorneys, and Justine was first one to respond to my plea . That was the main deciding factor on why I hired her. I am so glad she answered me when she did. Thanks Justine!

No hidden fees and very competent.

I hired Justine Dell in 2014 to make some changes in my marital settlement agreement. She was very professional, and efficient. I would highly recommend her.

EXCEPTIONAL ATTORNEY

Justine is a very professional, competent, honest, and compassionate attorney who works hard for you without wasting time and money. She has the type of personality that instantly put me at ease and made it easy for me to talk to her, but at the same time, was astute and sharp-witted when it came to ...getting my case resolved. I would highly recommend Justine to anyone looking for a family/divorce attorney.

Fantastic Attorney.....

Justine was the second attorney I hired for my case. I fired the first one because he was unethical. Justine was and continues to be a very competent, ethical, honest and great attorney. She has dealt with an ex husband who is abusive and extremely difficult to work with and received wonderful res...ults. She's above board and keeps you informed every step of the way. I have recommended Justine to quite a few friends and they have been very happy with her and also received very favorable results. I will continue to use and recommend her to anyone and everyone. If you need an attorney who can get the job done in a professional and timely manner then Justine is the one for you!

Paid consult is intake focused, not strategic

I did the intake and scheduled (and paid for) a consultation with this attorney hoping to receive strategic guidance about my situation and next steps. I came prepared with detailed information and was looking for professional judgment on timing, risks, and options. Instead, the consultation felt lar...gely client-directed, with most of the conversation focused on asking what I wanted to do rather than outlining recommended approaches or explaining the pros and cons of different strategies. I understand that attorneys can’t give full case planning in a short 1 hour consult, but given the cost, I expected more actionable insight or preliminary direction. I left feeling like I had paid for an intake conversation rather than professional analysis. This may be a good fit for someone who already knows exactly what they want and just needs execution. However, if you’re seeking strategic guidance to help you evaluate your options, you may want to clarify expectations before booking.
