Vision

Jodi ensures her clients understand how the law applies to their situation and advises on what is a reasonable settlement or agreement. She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about family law and how it applies to her clients and all parties concerned. She goes to great lengths to honestly and clearly explain the processes and how the law applies. Jodi is a firm believer that going to court should always be a last resort.  However, she regularly appears in court on behalf of her clients.
