Joanne reached out to me when I was beginning to think all hope was lost I told her my wife's story about several issues that happened & she was very knowledgeable on all that I spoke with her about, I hope to be hiring her in the near future. I totally believe that she is one of the best not only in her state but also in the country, I look forward to her standing up for some of the wrongs that seem to be going on in this country.
Joanne advised me on a possible case, she showed great interest and empathy towards my situation and was ready to go into action should the case require her to put together a team.
