My case was not a big case but I felt Amy treated it with just as much care as she would a big case. I also feel her pricing is well worth her services. She went beyond my expectations and I felt I made the right choice working with her.

I appreciate Amy's honesty and integrity. Her assistant Priscilla is also very straight forward and…read moreresponds quickly.

I recently worked with Julie during an extremely stressful and difficult child custody situation…read morethat was ongoing for eight years. Once i finally decided to hire an attorney last year, I was very fortunate to have found Julie. The very first time I spoke with her, i knew I was in great hands. She has been very easy to work with, to communicate with and her presence and way of communicating/ advocating for me and my Son in the court room was incredible!! She was a God send for me and I'm so grateful for her.

Julie and her team are incredible. I feel so well taken care of. Julie took the time to really…read morelisten and understand what I needed and what needed to be done regarding my custody case. When Julie wasn't available, her paralegal Ashley was always ready to answer any questions I had and keep me updated. I highly recommend them!!!! Thanks girls!

I had a consultation back in February with Erica Copenhagen…read more She was very professional and informative. I was under the impression that there was no charge for the consultation. It wasn't until over two months later I was billed $566.67 for the consultation because I did not go with their firm. The only thing they made clear was that if I did not show up or cancel within a certain amount of time that they do charge. But they certainly did not make it clear that if you don't use the firm that they charge you for your consultation. To be clear, I would never agree to a consultation to pay $566.67 to a business that I did not know whether I would choose to do business with them or not. Erica returned my phone call today May 18, 2026. I explained the situation to her and through the course of our short conversation she consistently cut me off and talked over me. I had to ask her to please let me finish my sentence. At that point, I was informed that she was busy and had a client she had to get to but all the same she continued to over talk me on the matter. BE AWARE THEY CHARGE YOU FOR A CONSULTATION WHEN YOU DON'T USE THEIR FIRM!!!!!! And now I see backpedaling and miss information from Erica's response to me. You are not telling the truth. There's no way in hell you ever told me that there was a $566.67 charge three times. I would not have a greed to a consultation especially at that price. I don't know how many ways to phrase it to you, Erica, but it was not made clear to me that if I did not use your services, I would be charged. It's that simple. I don't expect people to work for free! By the same token, I just came in for a consultation to see if what you had to offer, was compatible to what I was looking for in a law firm.

RUN! I wish there was something lower than one star to give. I live on the East Coast, and in…read moreSeptember 2024 I needed an estate attorney to assist my Uncle in his creation (and not long after) the implementation of his Trust. Erika did not provide the necessary and proper guidance. This resulted in going through a lengthy court process which I was trying to avoid by hiring her. When I asked her specifically why I was not informed I needed to take a particular step, she said "I did inform you." Which is a blatant lie!!!! Had Erika informed me I would have taken that step - why wouldn't I? I did everything she asked. She said do this - and I did it. She said pay this - and I paid it. I was hanging onto every word, advice, and counsel - I would have jumped off a cliff had she asked me (facetiously of course). The point is - I trusted her. I was following every instruction. At the final signing I asked if there was anything left to do? She said "no." I have never been through a Trust process before and communicated my naivety numerous times. I relied on Erika's guidance but am woefully disappointed. I have never written an online negative critique before. However, I feel compelled to share my experience in hopes of keeping someone else from poor advice. My Uncle's estate was small and uncomplicated. This should never have happened. The sad truth is, had Erika just owned up to the mistake, while disappointed, I would have understood (mistakes happen), and I would have stayed with her. But to lie about it and put the blame on me is beyond wrong. Not the adult or professional thing to do. Word of advice - Erika Copenhaver presents well, however she's a wolf in sheep's clothing. She doesn't truly care as she espouses. RUN!

They use a unique process where Joanne's firm provides the professional services of a psychologist. At first I have to say I was skeptical until I met Jeff, who was a great man. Jeff remains very neutral but is really there to help guide you through the emotional parts of a divorce. Yes his services aren't free, but I realized he helped talk me through some complicated feelings over the whole divorce. Joanne on the other hand is astute. She is organized, in her processes and has lots of ideas from lots of experience. Their team is not cheap, but as a business owner myself you get what you pay for. I would not hesitate to recommend them again and appreciate them. Thanks Joseph
