She translated this legal process for me along the entire way, until completion, always looking out for and protecting my needs and interests.”
— Darlene | August 22, 2024“Choosing Joanna Foard of Redmon, Peyton & Braswell was the best decision for my family. After calling several law firms without any opportunity to schedule a consultation, I gave Joanna a call. Joanna was the only attorney to return my call within the following days. Once we spoke, I knew she was the attorney I wanted to work with. At times, my case was emotionally charged and was filled with unreasonable proposals. Joanna helped me navigate the complexities of the legal system and advocated a slow and steady yet highly proactive approach to my case. I felt very supported throughout this whole process and it was reassuring knowing that someone has your and your family’s best interest in mind. Joanna was extremely responsive to all of my questions and concerns. She provided updates, explanations, and went above and beyond in facilitating communication between us and opposing counsel. What I appreciated the most was that she provided multiple options on how we can address specific issues and provided the pros and cons of different scenarios that we may encounter during the process. Joanna provided exceptional legal counsel, support, and advocacy, which helped achieve a positive outcome for my family as a whole. I could go on to write a whole novel on my experience working with Joanna Foard. All I can say is thank you so much Joanna. You are simply the best!”

What truly sets Joanna apart is her unwavering commitment to her clients. She consistently went above and beyond to ensure that my best interests were represented. Her attention to detail and thoroughness in preparing legal documents and strategies were commendable, and it instilled confidence in me that she was diligently working to achieve the best possible outcome for my case.
