Separation is never easy especially when kids are involved, but a recommendation from a friend turned out to be the best person I could've gotten. JoAnn is knowledgeable, makes time for you while handling things not needing my assistance so my bill is reasonable; she is definitely the one!
I needed help at the lowest point in my life. JoAnn quickly rooted through the problem and found a quick resolution. I cannot believe how professionally she handled the situation, especially since I was in an absolute panic. I very highly recommend her.
My case was concluded in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend coming here if you are in need of professional but also friendly service.
Family law is always complicated. When emotions get involved common sense has a tendency to go out the window. JoAnne helped me keep things in perspective and get through it all.
I needed help with a divorce. JoAnn Was such a comforting presence to be able to reach out to.
JoAnn Coughtry was able to step into a family matter and keep us out of court at the same time. That was important to both of us knowing that it would be harder on our children. She did a fantastic job.
I hated that it had come to going to court over the support of the child I loved. Of course I wanted to provide for him but what I did not want was to be taken advantage of by my angry and irrational ex. Winding up in the competent hands of JoAnn, I found I was in the best place I could hope to be.
After 10 years of evidence, my high profile, expensive law firm lawyer convinced me to accept their proposal. OP is a millionaire family. I was immediately bullied with excessive litigation by "The Family". I interviewed many attorneys and my first question to Jo Ann was, "Do you have experience litigating with a narcissist?". She giggled and assured me she was a trial lawyer and would not back down. Boy was she correct. Since firing the other attorney and hiring Jo Ann my case did a 180. I now have the most time with my son I've ever had, and my ex was just held in willful violation of a court order and to pay attorney fees. I would recommend if you have a high conflict, complex case to get Jo Ann to represent you. I wish I hired her first.
While there may be many experienced divorce attorneys, Jo Ann displayed a level of experience and expertise to me in my same sex divorce that I found so comforting. I knew from our first meeting that she would be able to put a more positive future on the horizon for me and that she has.
JoAnn did an excellent job against a very,very difficult client and a much higher paid lawyer which ended up going to trial... I finally can get the parenting time and weekends I asked for and deserve.A wonderful person who didn't give me false hopes and really pulled through for me.My wife and I are very happy with the result and my boy can have his dad back.I am planning to use her service again when the time comes.
