JoAnne Biernacki is Amazing!

JoAnne stepped into our family law case when we needed her most and did a fantastic job. I've had alot of attorneys in the last 6 years and would recommend JoAnne over any other that I've met. She understood the situation and was very personable in the entire case. If you're looking for someone to d...o the right thing and step up for your family then this is your attorney. She is someone you can trust which is hard to find these days.

Professional and Trustworthy

JoAnne and her firm handled my DVRO case very professionally. She is very knowledgeable, honest, diligent and instills trust. I’m happy that she was able to bring the outcome I wanted in my case. Thank you JoAnne and her team.

Professional, smart, empathetic!

Joanne was perfect in the court room. I was dealing with a restraining order from a neighbor and she was super supportive, calm and knowledgeable regarding the law and how to present my side. Walked out of the courtroom feeling happy with the outcome.

Joanne Biernacki

I was referred to Joanne by legal shield back in December of 2020 . . I hired Joanne for a move away trial case . She is the best of the best . Very determine , driven , and knowledgeable . I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney . I was a little nervous being the fact that my court hearing was s...o close , with so much work to be done , however , our very first zoom meeting not only gave me a sense of relief , but Joanne always answered all text , phone calls and emails with every and any question I had . Joanne always made me feel like my case was top Priority , the amount of time and effort she spent on my case was outstanding . Not only was I granted full custody of my child , I am now able to move my child out of state. thanks to all her hard work and determination. I can’t thank her and the team enough . All I can say is she’s the best of the best and thanks to her I can finally put my child in a better situation .

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
