Joanne was amazing in helping me through one of the roughest times you’ll ever hope to go through. It’s a difficult balance of upheaval and tough reality. Joanne helped me navigate it as best as one could hope for. She’s tough, yet kind. She’s very good at what she does.

I can give no higher recommendation. I found myself in a difficult divorce case at long distance (Texas-California) and numerous complicating personal and financial issues. Honestly, it was overwhelming but Joann was a rock with a personal touch. She was always available for questions despite time differences. Always worked with me to craft the outcome I wanted to have happen, guiding me as to consequneces and possible responses. She went above and beyond with counseling and calming when things seemed most overwhelming. Explaining how I and my kids would come through this time of difficulty not just legally but personally. She gave me the perspective to both legally find the best outcome but personally feel empowered in the system. Joann was both a strong advocate and a generous counselor. She truly cares about her clients. I will always be grateful to Joann for being there when we needed her most, she is simply the best.

I had a child custody case that I consulted with Ms. Babiak about. She listened attentively while we discussed my story, then explained all my options and the potential ramifications. Her fees were quite reasonable and she spent some extra time with me that she didn't even bill for. I have not (as yet) needed to litigate my case, but I can tell she will be an excellent advocate should I ever need to.
