Posted by anonymous | January 08, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

She was there for me when I needed someone the most.

Domestic Violence is a serious issue, and One I was facing in court alone to defend myself. As the court date grew closer, my anxiety was at its highest. "How can I face this man in court by myself in less than five days" he whom had destroyed my confidence in my self, and tried to destroy everyth...ing I held dear, and whom was extremely deceitful, and lied constantly. I prepared this whole case by myself, the file was three inches thick, and I thought, "how do I present this to the judge?" it would take hours, let alone, how do i face this man in court by myself, and sadly you cannot have family members with you for support. This was my second attempt at a DVRO, the first one, only a month earlier, I had dropped because he showed up to court and sat right down at my table pleading that I drop it, and I did. Only to experience within a few short weeks another verbal abusive attack on me and my daughter. My mom found Justin for me through recommendations, and she agreed to see me three days before court, no up charge for short notice, and I had some money left over. All I can say is WOW. I wanted to kiss her, she was so on point, knew my case like the back of her hand, went straight for key points immediately and within 15 minutes she had the judge saying to my ex wow your a Jekyll and Hyde personality, and with that said I had a 5 year restraining order, she had my ex back peddling, of which I could never do. More over, I was so fearful of him, and she stood by my side even when he walked into the area outside the court room, she said to me "do not listen to him" because he immediately got on his phone and started talking loudly, and Justine instructed me to ignore him he is trying to intimidate you, she stood by my side! shoulder to shoulder! Even if I did not win, she believed in me and wanted to protect me and my daughter and I am so grateful! Thank-you Justine !

Great Attorney

I was very comfortable with Justine from my consultation and all throughout her handling my case. She is very professional and gets right to the point. I had absolutely no knowledge of the divorce process or the law. She took her time to explain things to me and discuss my options. I was very im...pressed with her help and guidance in trying to cut down on litigation costs. She is not the type of attorney that just sees $$ and and will drag out a case. I truly believe she has her clients best interest at heart. I was able to settle my case to avoid a long court process and I am so grateful I had Justine representing me and fighting for what was best for me!

Beyond Excellent

Justine is remarkable! She listens, is trustworthy and advocates for what is right for your specific situation! She knows the law and fights for what is right, no matter what it takes. Her calm, professional domineer is recognized not only by her client, my best friend, and myself but by her peers an...d the courtroom staff....She is well respected and has been spoke very highly about from everyone around her, even the courtroom bailiffs... I can't say enough about watching her in action... she is organized, ready and well spoken. I have to say, I am a very hard "customer" to please and have high expectations of individuals that serve the public (I am a Lead RN) but can honestly say I couldn't have found ANYONE that fit our needs better than Justine!

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!

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.

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.
