Joy is a Godsend and has helped me and my new wife with a vast amount of legal issues. Always the outcomes are very positive and better than we expected. I like how she is compassionate about us and our case and is upfront about what you can expect in the case. She sees us a real people. I would recommend Joy to anyone looking for a great attorney.

Joy is both an amazing attorney and human being. She was upfront with me about what to expect throughout the process and the outcome was better than expected. She's straightforward, understanding, smart and one savvy negotiator. Joy was the calm in the middle of the storm for us and continues to be a valuable resource to this day.

I was vary reserved about choosing a Lawfirm. We met with Tom Marks initially for a consultation because we were dealing with a unique situation and case. Our pastor actually recommended them. Tom was honest with us which was a relief because my experience has been anything but honest with others. He gave us vary accurate cost consideration from best case scenario to worst case scenario which helped to be prepared for the worst and budget for the worst. Most just say my retainer is this and every case is different. But he went in depth about all the things that could happen and why it could end up being very expensive. And felt my case was mathematically a high probability to be on the worst end. And the worst case scenario came to pass. We ended up choosing Joy Ragan as our attorney who is within the umbrella of The Marks Lawfirm. Mostly because Tom recommended her and felt would be better fit for our situation. It's been 10 months since our case was finalized and I'm just getting around to writing a review. Reviews I don't give very often but when it comes to lawyers they are few and far between to find real honest ones. They handled my case with grace. Dealt with serious issues in a timely manner, which were many issues from out of state children,contempt, a slew of others issues. Mostly Joy just talked me off the ledge a lot just because the issues were emotional. And you never make good choices when emotion is involved. She gave good counsel. And made my life less stressful in dealing with a vary complex family situation. I can't say I would have been able to accomplish the results without them as advocates behind me. It's not everyday a father gets what he wants let alone everything he asked for in court. But I only asked for what was fair not anything unreasonable. I'd recommend them to anyone serious about navigating the family court system and wants to take the high road of doing right by your family. I'd NOT recommend them if your looking for EVERYTHING you can get from the court system. They will tell you to consider the family above any selfish or vindictive motivation and I loved that about them. And if your motivation is that I would say they'd rather not have you as a client. I also loved that too!! Five stars.

I met Joy in my networking group several years ago. I instantly liked her. I could relate to her immediately as a single mom. She has a magnetic personality, and I was instantly drawn to her. After some time, I needed help with child support issues. She is true to her word, that she will help resolve an issue with as little conflict as possible; and in a proficient, professional and efficient way. Throughout the process she treated me with love and understanding. Her knowledge of the law and her methods while handling my case allowed for the best possible outcome. She was prepared and sharp. Thank you Joy, for being there for me. I know I can turn to you with confidence.

Joy is a very straight forward attorney. She quickly establishes trust and rapport, creating a safe space where you feel protected, you know she can handle the job. She is also amazing at cutting through BS...as you can imagine, in emotionally embroiled divorces and custody cases, many things are said between the respective parties. Joy is able to cut through the mudslinging, clearly explain your exposure to liability and what to stand up for. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is facing a legal crisis.

Previous experience with attorneys made me leary of them. Joy has completely changed my mind about attorneys. From the minute my husband and I met her, we knew we made the right choice. We felt we could trust her to do what was in our best interest; she knew what she was doing and kept us informed about the progress of our case. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family.

It was a pleasure working with Joy and her team. They were not only professional but also genuine. I could not have asked for a better attorney to represent us in the readoption of our daughter. Thank you for taking part in such a special day!
