I am a 100 percent brain injured construction worker. Jo Ann said she was going to take care of me in a divorce case. Well she didn’t she stole $2200 dollars from me (5 minute consultation 5 real short emails) She had wanted $4000 retainer when she had my credit card in her hand she said will do $5000.

Compassion and concern and there when you need her are three of the many things I could say about JoAnn and how she deals with her client especially me. My circumstances were what I thought difficult, but she made it seem like it was a walk and the park and she made it that way..

Caring, compassionate and responsive are just a few of the words to describe JoAnn. Without going into detail about my situation, she takes the time to go over things and answer all my questions and make me feel like we are going to get through this trying moment and prevail.

Divorce is a phase that is very hard and emotionally draining. I was all alone and clueless about who to contact for the case. My colleague referred me to Ms. Coughtry. She is truly a gem. Proficient in legal matters yet friendly.

Ms. Coughtry is a Godsend regarding family issues and divorce-related complications. My sister went to her through a very rough patch; she gave her all the support. She even considered her financial situation and took up her case.

Jo Ann Coughtry is a family lawyer I recommend to anyone in need. My husband and I had already decided on the terms of the divorce. Ms. Coughtry made the necessary documents and solved the case without any complications.

With Ms. Coughtry, I have fought 2 cases. One for my divorce and the other for my child’s custody. In both cases, I didn’t feel like I was a client. She made me comfortable and at ease when emotionally and financially drained.

Joann doesn't do her.job, then gets called on the carpet about being such a slug, and she has to go find another attorney to threaten the former clients with cease and desist letters and legal action. Her threatening legal action is a joke, but then again that's why she had another attorney do it. She had to have another attorney do it for her, because honestly I'm not sure she would know how. My husband hired her, she did NOTHING, charged him outrageous amounts for doing NOTHING...he then send her a letter ending their le... read more

I Hire Joanne to do my divorce and she promised me the world then once I signed her retainer everything changed not only did she run the bill up by asking me the same questions multiple times but didn’t do anything I asked and double billed on multiple occasions.

She Charged me $6000 and never step foot in a courtroom and I never met her in person since she would not allow it. I had to hire another lawyer t... read more
