In September 2014 Josey represented me in a complex child support issue with a judge that was also known to not fair well towards fathers. Through aggressive negotiation with the courts probabation department I was able to feel better about the outcome there than it would have been in front of the judge. The outcome was favorable, my child support ended that day and I believe the negotiation was fair to both parties. It was a relief to know that Josey's experience with this court, and in particular this judge, spared all parties from any further court visits prolonging this matter. I would recommend Josey to anyone looking for representation in a family law matter.

Joanne Payne assisted me with a difficult probate matter involving children who have gone through trauma and emotional abuse at the hands of their father. A guardian ad litem was also involved. Her approach began with a caring attentive ear, professional and honest advice, followed by a positive end result when the knowledge and expertise she provided me was applied to the case. As a result, I was awarded physical custody and the plaintiff lost his bid for sole legal custody. Joanne is a straight shooter and does not tell you what you want to hear. She tells you what the law means and how a judge typically responds in similar cases. Bottom line-she is smart and fair and her advice got my family what we needed. Highly accessible as well. Always returns communications promptly. Bonus!

Josey advised me during a very difficult divorce. She always accommodated my busy schedule and even met with me on Saturdays due to this. She was sensitive, warm, and incredibly knowledgeable. She set my mind at ease and walked me through the whole process from mediation to the final day in court step by step and always made sure I was as comfortable as possible with the process. I would highly recommend her to my friends and my family.
