Too old to continue practicing

I paid Joedy $4500.00, for a custody case for my Daughter. He would show up few minutes late, not prepared, send mail to the father-Joedy had the wrong address. He laughed it off like it was not important. Had important documents but did not do anything with the information. Tried to serve the fath...er during court, father would not take the envelope, so Joedy tossed the envelope over to him instead asking the judge could he serve him, then placing it in front of him, the judge spoke to Joedy about his actions. The father painted a bad picture of my daughter, with false information, had no proof, but old slow Joedy did not say, anything he did not object or call me who could of put the father to shame with his false information. Long story made short, Joedy was my daughter attorney who did not stop the court from taking my Daughters' six year old son from. The father never came around the child, never wanted to see the child, now because of Joedy nonactions the father has full custody and no visitation for my daughter. My Daughter does not know where her child is or if he is ok. Joedy is bad for FAMILIES who need good legal assistance.

Amazing!

Mr. De Frank saved my granddaughter's life by insuring she was removed from the custody of her abusive and malicious father. He went far beyond our expectations. He was kind and compassionate to his client and a pugnacious pit bull in the courtroom representing her interests. Thank you, Joedy, we ar...e eternally in your debt.

Amazing Attorney

This attorney was amazing for my family. I don't think things would have turned out so well without him. He absolutely saved the day for us. He has a presence about him that puts other attorneys to shame. If you have tried other attorneys and been disappointed or you are at your wits end and need... the best, go see him. He's not going to mince words with you so if you need to be coddled, go get a loser lawyer. If you want to win, choose this one. Yes, he's that good. Feel free to contact me if you want to.

Not good

The saying goes “Those you meet in life are either a lesson or a blessing” is so true and my hiring Mr. Defrank was a lesson to me as to the people I wished I never met and hired for services in my life. Once I paid Mr. Joedy Defrank his required fee of $2500 and signed the contract with him, I ...was left hanging in the dark every day, without any phone calls nor emails to me as to how he would represent me moving forward with my divorce/alimony proceedings. He was my second attorney I hired since my first one didn't do anything for me. My continued phone calls to him, leaving voice messages for him to do so and even my CA attorney cousin writing him an email, pleading with him to just touch base with me before my upcoming court hearing and also a trial left me so anxious and upset I didn't know what to do. He never discussed strategy with me to prepare me for my upcoming court proceedings which I find to be most unprofessional in my opinion. I will leave it there and you can decide for yourself if he is a good fit for you as to your attorney.

Knowledgeable attorney I would hire again!

Mr. DeFrank represented my son in a complicated court proceeding. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional when meeting with us and in the court proceedings. He kept us informed of the timeframes and process and was able to win the case, the outcome being better than we could have expected! O...bserving him in the courtroom, I was very glad he was our attorney. I must admit that this court experience was difficult, but Mr. DeFrank's counsel and guidance helped us better understand the process and helped us achieve the best result. I have recommended Mr. DeFrank to one of my friends who is also utilizing his services. She is also very happy with his representation. Thank you Mr. DeFrank!
