Jodie Bassichis is an extremely professional attorney in family law, and I highly recommend her. I had a tough divorce with child custody issues that lasted a year and I am so happy Jodie was by my side who dealt with the legalities of my divorce. She is truly at the top of her profession in family law divorces that deal with issues from child support and custody to finances and assets. She also has the capabilities to focus on mediation where she helped me and my spouse talk through our issues to try to come to a reasonable resolution rather than going into litigation. Jodie was very patient and sensitive to the issues that were important to me and for my child’s behalf. She was extremely detailed oriented in my final separation agreement that addressed many complex areas. In the court hearings, I noticed that Jodie has gained a huge respect from her peers, court personnel and our judge. She is very professional and very compassionate about her work and especially my case. She was always prepared at my court hearings and remarkably detailed in my divorce documentation needed for court. During many of the meetings with my spouse and his attorney, Jodie had a natural way of rationalizing an issue where she had the ability to calm down the other counsel and my spouse many times. This helped us come to a resolution, close each and every pertinent issue and move on to the next one, and she accurately documented the resolution in my final separation agreement. Without a doubt, Jodie is an outstanding attorney and I mean this in many ways because of her fairness, ethics, and toughness in court, friendly personality, and hard work she did for me. She truly cared about me and my case and what was important to me. She is also very ethical and looked after me, her client’s needs first and foremost.

I hired Jodie to help me with a tough divorce/custody battle. Jodie got me the BEST results possible! She is a LEGIT miracle worker! A true samurai of her craft! I now am a dad with 100% custody! The unheard of white whale in family law. JODIE IS A BEAST!!!

I first used Jodie for my divorce. During that event, she was exceptional. I have since used her for any issues that arise from my divorce when dealing with my exwife when it relates to my ex-wife and kids. I could get someone closer but I would have to rebuild a trust factor and explain everything that happened in my case all over. No thanks. I have read the reviews on here. And my expereince with Jodie has gone well. In my court representation during hearings, she has been perfect. She aggressive and gets the job done. I can't speak for anyone else but I would rather have a shark defending me in court than a poddle. Sounds corny but that how strong I feel about it.

Jodie is a very experience and talented attorney. When you are stress and going through a divorce with a lying ex-spouse, Jodi Bassichis is the attorney to call. I feel comfortable working with her as my attorney. My lying ex-spouse and her attorney was fighting for more money and custody of my son that she carless about. She was greedy and want more money. I contact Jodie Bassichis and she saved my life. It was great to have Jodie and I would recommend her to anyone who are looking for an excellent divorce attorney.

I retained this lawyer in March 2020 for post-divorce settlement and child support items. At first, she seemed adequate but unfortunately that soon ended as her responsiveness and filing motions without my consent soon happened. I am still in litigation with this suit and no resolution has been done. My last email from her was Jan 2021 and since then I have sent numerous emails and left messages for her office with no response on my unanswered questions. My case was supposed to be heard in April 2021 and received a motion that she had an emergency and had to change the date then a motion of unavailability. I sent additional emails for communication and no response where I had to eventually reach out to her assistant who lied and said she was out even though I already had the dates of unavailability from the court and my emails were not amongst that timeframe. I receive copies of the documents sent to the court mailbox where she generated documents without discussing with me and had incorrect information on them. I immediately sent her back emails advising they are wrong and did not know one of the places she was subpoenaing and she did nothing/no response. I sent in my updated financial information since June 2021 which her office received, I sent a follow up asking if it was sent to court- no response. My ex sent in motion for my disclosure on July 2021, if my financials were submitted when I sent it to her this motion would not have been filed.. My court case is coming up in Sept 2021 and she has not spoken to me in ~7 months but filing documents without my authorization/knowledge and sent me a bill. The bill had dates of when she requested a continuance for HER emergency, creating the subpoenas that were incorrect and motions filed that could have been avoided if she filed my documents when she received them. I sent her back a detailed email why I don’t think I am responsible for this bill and she immediately responded back (unprofessionally and rude) and withdrew from my case. Also stating everything was file timely where again if that were true my ex could not file the motion for my disclosure. She did not attempt to clarify all the unanswered emails, call me back for a resolution… nothing. This has been the worst experience having to deal with the other parties behavior and paying someone who is supposed to have my best interest be so conniving.

My first consultation started with me being told this should take no more than a couple months and my initial retainer should cover what I need done. Well, two years and over $6000 later it IS finally done. Getting a phone call back is like pulling teeth and the secretary there has no business cleaning the bathrooms in the office much less answering phones and sending invoices. The office also sent out a court packet with someone else's case which claimed molestation and sexual abuse by siblings. This not only went to the judge but my ex wife as well and obviously it started World War 3 with my ex wife thinking I was actually claiming that such abuse was going on. The final and honestly most insulting thing happened right after the case was over. I got an email with an invoice saying I owe over $2000 and it had to be paid within 5 days or it goes to collections. I emailed immediately back saying how could you do this and that you never did this before and before I could hit "send" , another email came through showing they charged a card that was on file for the full amount. There was no signature, there was no consent, there was no warning. I sent the email anyway and another one right back saying I couldn't believe this is how they do business and it's been a week and a half later and still have no response.

This is by far the worst lawyer I have ever dealt with. I hired her for my custody case and from day one it was a nightmare. She does not return calls or emails unless they pertain to her fees. I poured 2500.00 into her within the first month only to be slapped with a 2200.00 bill with her nearly instantly. She required instant payment with a threat of quitting the case. She asked for 1000.00 minimum, which I gave her. One week later she asked for a payment plan. I called her rude 19 year old assistant to make the arrangements and explained that in two weeks I would be getting my tax return, and that I would then settle the bill then. She said that it was fine, so I thought everything was fine. Three days later I received an email that she has dropped the case, one day after that I received formal letters in the mail that she sent to the judge and to opposing council that because of irreconcilable differences she can no longer represent me. Talk about a huge embarrassment; further horrifying considering that I WAS paying her! She never called me to tell me this, there was absolutely no communication leading up to this drop in service. She never responded to any requests, emails or calls. I did exactly as she asked, and still she took what I had given her and dropped the case. Beyond the abrupt ending I still would never recommend Jodie. She is incredibly unprofessional, her assistant is rude and will be snotty and abrupt on the phone regardless of how polite you are, her appearance is ragged and she is not respected in the courtroom. I hired her because of her low retainer, please do not make the same mistake that I did. You get what you pay for, hire a better lawyer than Jodie Bassichis. P.S. I just received another bill from her for an additional 750.00 for email fees and other nonsense odds and ends, the same emails that she never replied to. DON'T HIRE THIS LAWYER!!!

This attorney was not attentive to my case. She lost paperwork, failed to file critical evidence I provided to her that are critical to having a comprehensive judicial file, returned calls days later, and her relationships with other attorneys and the judges only further complicated me resolving my case. This attorney required a large retainer, but provided minimal results in representing me in the court of law.

I hired her because of her low retainer, please do not make the same mistake that I did. You get what you pay for, hire a better lawyer than Jodie Bassichis. P.S. I just received another bill from her for an additional 750.00 for email fees and other nonsense odds and ends, the same emails that she never replied to. DON'T HIRE THIS LAWYER!!!

This attorney was not attentive to my case. She lost paperwork, failed to file critical evidence I provided to her that are critical to having a comprehensive judicial file, returned calls days later, and her relationships with other attorneys and the judges only further complicated me resolving my case. This attorney required a large retainer, but provided minimal results in representing me in the court of law.
