Helped through a very hard time in my life with an excellent outcome.

Hired recently to handle a matter for me and was very much pleased with the outcome of my case. Would recommend to anyone who would like to see positive results.

Can We Spell F-R-A-U-D???

I hired Joedy DeFrank for my divorce. He did not return my calls. He did not file the correct paperwork for court appearances, did not keep appropriate records and did not have me sign a contract nor did he give me a statement of estimated work. Mr. De Frank literally dropped my case TWO DAYS befo...re trial with no reason. I am filing a complaint with the Bar Association. DO NOT HIRE HIM. JWood SAC. CA. He owes me $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

This client made threats against me and I had to remove myself from her case. She continued this pattern of conduct in public places. She went through at least one other lawyer. The use of the word fraud has certain legal meanings- none of which apply here and are clearly slanderous and should not be posted. Again the finding of the trial judge can be reviewed at the courthouse for anyone who would like to ascertain what truly happened. I will let her record speak for itself. A truly difficult client that is not portraying the facts accurately.

He is the most incompetent attoney I have ever experienced

I hired Joedy DeFrank from Pre-Paid Legal Services, our agreement was not in writing, he wanted two thousand dollars down and said he would work for 125.00/hr. I would call and call and he would never return my phone calls and when I finally did talk to him, he would tell me to shut up and wouldn't e...ven let me talk. He told he before the hearing on Sept. 19. 2008 that he needed three thousand more dollars to get ready for trial and we didn't even go to trial, he told me that this dissolution was over on Sept. 19th and in the mediation hearing he didn't fight for me at all, my ex to be got exactly what he wanted. I received alimony which went towards the house payment, and by the time I pay income taxes on it, I will be in financial ruin. Then I get more paper work in the mail and he didn't give me anything in writing of another court date on Dec. 16th, 2008, I had to call my husbands attorney to find that one out. I lived in Kentucky and I had to set up the over the phone conference up

I understand that out of the thousands of clients I have served, not all will be completely happy. I Family Law cases, clients often have high expectations of a particular outcome that they are set on. Ms (last name removed) was "reprimanded" by two Pro Tem Judges as well as the judge presiding over her spousal support hearing. She stipulated to the agreement made a court order. I knew nothing of her unhappiness about the result until this entry, as she never contacted me. I would invite anyone to look at the court file to verify these facts, instead of relying on Ms. (last name removed)' side of the story.
