Family Court Issue-Divorce

He handled my case very well. Costs were reasonable and he did everything in a timely manner and made sure that I was well informed as to what to expect, what the next steps would be in the process and so on. He has a very direct way to communicate, which I greatly appreciated. He was easy to contact... via telephone and email. He also did all contact with my ex, which helped to make it a smooth process for everyone. He traveled to Southern California for my case and helped to alleviate any worry or stress that I had. He was referred to me by family and friends. I would also refer him to others and have already.

Do not hire this attorney

I flat out laugh at these canned 4+ star ratings. I hired Joedy from a pre-paid legal service that I had from my work. Joedy was incompetent from the start. He failed to file my income reports at the first divorce hearing and told me that he would just get a continuance. He was denied the contiuan...ce and my now exwife got 3/4 of my paycheck because he screwed up. He then refused to return my phone calls and it took over a year for him to finalize my divorce. I had to threaten to report him to the CA Bar to get him motivated. I ended up doing all if the leg work from 1200 miles away. But if your soon to be ex is in need of lawyer recommend this joke for sure.

Awesome Attorney

I hired Joedy after speaking with two other attorneys. He spoke for me at a restraining order hearing, throughout my divorce and afterwards at both spousal and child support hearings. He's extremely knowledgeable about law, was able to stop harassing and derogatory tactics by the other attorney, an...d gave me far better representation than I thought possible. In my opinion, the best way to learn about an attorney is to observe how they are received by other lawyers and the judges. I've seen other lawyers come up to Joedy to ask his advice, I've seen judges and pro-tem judges asking his advice as well. He is extremely well liked and respected by the staff and other attorneys. I think that is a far higher recommendation than any that I might give.

Knowledgeable and Aggressive Attorney!!

Joedy represented me on a very difficult case, it was a family law case, I will not go into details on the matter but Joedy worked really hard on getting me legal custody rights for my three children against my children's father and his family. It was a very sensitive and difficult case for the both ...of us. Joedy kept me informed as much as he could given the fact that he had numerous amounts of priority cases other than mine, so I had patience for him when he was unable to get back to me. Overall Joedy represented me well and as hard as we worked he won my case. So I am very happy with the results and I would recommend him to anyone.
