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.

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.

Honest and Trustworthy - Helped through Difficult time

I would definitely hire Joedy DeFrank again. He has helped me through several family law matters and is very reliable. He returned my calls immediately and helped me through some very difficult times during the last several years. Every time that I would call Joedy he would return me call promptly... and always explained things thoroughly. I would highly recommend him. It is never easy to deal with family matters and he made it easier for me in this very difficult time.
