Jennifer helped me tremendously through a difficult custody battle. Throughout the process, Jennifer was honest with me and always worked hard for what was in the best interest of my children. She got to know my case very well and really fought for us.

In my profession, as a musician, I hire solely on recommendations. Ms. Goody came highly recommended for my divorce. She handled my case with care and looked after not only me, but my children as well. As we know, it was a very sensitive time for my family and she did an amazing job. Everything she told me since day 1 she did, and led me down the perfect and correct path. She led my divorce with 100% professionalism and I felt comfortable having her in charge. Not one day went by where I felt she wasn't doing her job. Trust me, I have been down your path in the vulnerable position looking for a Lawyer. If you hire Jennifer, I promise you will not be disappointed. She is the best........

Jennifer was the only attorney who could get the job done! I had been trying for over five years to get my ex to sign papers. She did it in just over a year when others couldn’t. I can’t thank her enough and am forever grateful for her help, advice and professionalism.

Jennifer Goody is a fierce, direct, sensible, smart and driven attorney. She never takes her eye off the goal and knows the law like the back of her hand. She always makes herself available for questions verbally, as well as email and text friendly. She is a fighter and that’s exactly what is needed when battling a difficult and erratic ex. If you have a custody situation that needs a lawyer, I highly recommend Jennifer Goody to go to battle for you.

Ms. Goody is a true professional who gets results. She is hard working and very detail oriented. She is extremely knowledgeable in all areas of the law and will work countless hours to get the job done. She explains things to make them understandable and never gives up. She will fight for your rights as her client and get the results you want. I was very pleased with my results and will seek Ms. Goody's services in the future. I highly recommend Jennifer Goody as your attorney.

As a father attempting to obtain custody of my young daughter I faced a Herculean challenge in the court system. Jennifer’s legal counsel was indispensable for me in obtaining the desired legal result in my custody battle. I have no doubt that other attorneys would have failed to obtain the result Jennifer won for me in the divorce process. Jennifer’s knowledge of the law and the divorce process is unrivaled. Her passion and dedication are intense. I would not recommend anyone else as counsel in a contested divorce.

Jennifer is very detailed, she prepares like nothing I have ever seen. She goes above and beyond anyone else ever has for me. She is a true advocate who wants to win your case. Seeing her in court, it is easy to see why she does so well. My divorce was very difficult due to my ex husband being an attorney himself. He was unwilling to be fair after the trial and judgment that was given by the Judge. Jennifer was very kind, thorough and understanding of my situation. She was very patient. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone who asked.
