Excellent and timely representation
Ms. Foard assisted with a prenuptial agreement and provided excellent service in an efficient and friendly manner. I am exceedingly pleased with the quality of the representation. She also did not engage in any type of bill inflation and was exactly on point with her initial costs estimates. Thank you very much!
She Didn’t Just Represent Me—She Looked Out for Me!
I just want to say I’m truly grateful for the way Joanna handled my case. She was thoughtful, patient, and sharp—really on top of things from start to finish. What stood out to me most is how she stayed ahead of issues before they even had a chance to become problems, and made sure my needs were always taken care of. Going through a divorce isn’t easy, but having someone in your corner who genuinely cares and knows exactly what they’re doing makes all the difference. Joanna isn’t just an excellent attorney—she’s a good person, and that meant a lot to me. I also appreciate the strong team she put together, which delivered ahead of schedule, on little notice. Thank You!!
Hire Her
I recently consulted with Joanna regarding my potential divorce, and I cannot say enough positive things about my experience. From the very beginning, she was warm, approachable, and genuinely understanding of the difficult and emotional circumstances I’m facing. She took the time to really listen to my concerns, especially as they relate to my children, and made me feel heard and supported. At the same time, it was clear that Joanna is a fierce and capable advocate. She demonstrated a deep knowledge of the legal issues that could arise given my specific situation and thoughtfully walked me through the process, potential challenges, and realistic expectations. She explained everything in a way that was clear and reassuring, without minimizing the seriousness of what lies ahead.
Cannot recommend Joanna more highly
From the start, I knew Joanna was the right fit. She was firstly very responsive at a time of high anxiety for me. Joanna never pushed me to choose the most costly solution, she made recommendations that were tailored to my situation instead. She listened very carefully to all of the details, including my thoughts and feelings on the matter and was able to expertly guide and advise me to make clear decisions. Having her by my side made me feel confident during an extremely difficult time.
