An Ongoing Lesson in How Not to Be Represented

For my case, the only thing that moved fast was the billing from Jody Cloutier. Money out. Results nowhere. Strategy unclear. Communication thin. Every interaction leaves me more anxious, more exposed, more afraid of saying the wrong thing and incriminating myself. I don’t feel represented. I feel ...pressured — especially when new charges would suddenly appear the morning of a court appearance, when there was no real option to push back. It felt less like advocacy and more like coercion, as if compliance was the cost of continuing. There are criminal lawyers, and then there are criminals who are lawyers. This experience feels uncomfortably close to the latter. If you’re looking for protection, clarity, or progress — look elsewhere.

This is nonsense. As this person is anonymous, I can't say that I've even represented this person, and I don't think that I have.

Straight forward and awesome

Dealing with Jody and Shasta was an absolute pleasure. Jody is straight forward and to the point, couldn't ask for a better attorney.

Clean, Crisp, Quick Pre-nup.

Jody and staff completed a Prenup and turned it around in a very quick, communicative, crisp nature. Jody was professional, and very transparent about risks, process, potential problems, and helping bulletproof the document. Jody made sure I felt comfortable and was agile in my needs. He gave surpris...ingly insightful advice on how to structure our future lives and assets together and deep dived into mechanics as well to make sure our goals were being met together. Very happy with the work and especially the turnaround time. Technologically, Jody's methods were also up to date, and it didn't require any archaic methods or excessive in person meetings. Overall nice and smooth.

Thorough, efficient, and a pleasure to work with

Jody and his team were great to work with on a difficult situation. He clearly articulated the process, making sure that I understood the steps needed, risks along the way, and what I could do to ensure a positive outcome. I have no hesitation recommending him to anyone looking for family law suppo...rt.

Fair and competent

I hired Jody to complete a child custody modification. Not only was he very competent, fair, honest, and had great follow through. He also showed integrity by being honest about the law and the cost to benefit ratio. In the past I have had attorneys that lead you down a path to benefit their pocket b...ut not the client. Jody is very ethical and it should be noted that he is not the type of attorney to manipulate people for his own benefit. I highly recommend him and will without a doubt use his services if need be in the future!
