Jacob Rigney is very responsive attorney and did a extraordinary job for my sentence modification. The whole process was much quicker than I ever imagined and I was very satisfied with the outcome ! I highly recommend his services and I would definitely use It again .

Update 5/13/23: Judy why did you lie to Boone County DCS? I obtained the report and you made many provable false statements and outright lies.
Are you a police officer or DCS investigator? I presume so since you took it upon yourself to “investigate” matters when you should have reported and left it for the professionals to actually investigate and have records of reported incidents.
What happens when you beg Judy Hester for help because the other parent will not follow court orders?
She will file a court recommendation against you full of half truths and outright lies.
What happens when you try to determine why Judy Hester isn’t returning phone calls and emails for an excessive periods of time?
She takes will take offense to someone asking her to do her job. She will retaliate by not responding, then will scold you for removing her from the coparent communication app after she has ignored you for a couple more months.
Judy Hester dishonest.
The only consistency I’ve seen in Judy is inconsistency.
Recently I discovered that Judy participated in a scheduled home visit by DCS of my ex, not as a witness, as an advocate for him. She did not witness the alleged incident. She has no relevant factual information of the incident. In fact, Judy was no longer under contract to be our PC. That didn’t stop her from throwing her perceived power around. Another time when she was no longer under contract, Judy demanded I change the list of people allowed to pick up my daughter at school by adding an individual that has allegations of inappropriate actions to minors.
Instead of handling situations as legally obligated (such as report an incident to DCS), instead she would task herself at investigating the situation, something DFS cautions not to do… that DFS should conduct investigations and have records.
I cannot fathom being paid $200/hr by families needing help, only to perform on the level of a part-time employee that is is not invested in her job.
I initially brought my complaints of Judy directly to Judy for resolution, as she stated was her procedure in her contract. She ignored me, once again. After months of reaching out to her for help, then finally inform her that there were serious issues I would bring to the Indiana Bar Association, her resolution was to continue to ignore me and file court recommendations against me that were based upon false accusations. She even admitted in court they were not true.
After she discussed another client with me in detail about how awful the father is, she bragged about how she had his parenting time greatly reduced. Then she scolded me for recording our conversation. It was easy to determine who she was speaking of based on all the details she divulged to me. That client has been informed and they to the recording of Judy telling me their medical history, supposed bad parenting acts, and what the judge said about that client (which differed slightly from Judy’s assessment.
When I questioned her about her billing practices after I received charges for her other clients, I was informed I was to obtain legal representation if I wanted to change my bill. It took over a year to get one of those charges removed. After I posted negative reviews about Judy’s performance as PC, I received more bills from Judy…. the bills were sent the day after I posted the reviews.
Thank god the court removed her from our case. I’m truly saddened that she is abusing her power as a PC and for all the other families harmed by that woman.
Please note that two of the positive reviews on here are from my ex and his wife. I also recognize the names of their coworkers and friends that posted positive reviews.
If she was so wonderful, why is my ex wanting to change her court recommendations now. Maybe he finally realized Judy doesn’t know what is best and will only file court recommendations that have very expensive actions associated. My guess is so the parents won’t be able to afford the constant legal battle and will eventually shut up to keep costs down.

Warning! Do not let her near your family as your parenting coordinator!
Judy does not do much, except ignore serious complaints.

Lady answering the phone sounds like she either hates her job or is just flat out lazy. When asked a simple question of whether Judy gives a free consultation she said "hmm, their website doesnt mention if theres a fee" (no duh) then continued to ask for my ph no, email address, zip code, (all understandable since this was probably protocol) then my physical address...Im sure more questions were to follow. I just had a simple question but could not get an answer to save my life. Moving on to another attorney and didnt even get my foot in the door!

Judy Hester was my divorce lawyer, and I would not recommend her services again. I mistakenly retained her a second time to clear up a lingering matter and was disappointed in the amount of preparation that went into the trial. As well, she did not have strong arguments prepared on my behalf. My ex-husband’s lawyer showed us up in court, I lost my case, and I was out a couple thousand dollars in legal fees.

After my hubby was denied previously for an expungement Kassi Rigney said not to worry she filed his expungement and it was granted, his cases are not viewable and no hearing to attend we were so surprised and happy. Kassi is very pleasant, professional, focused, driven, attentive to your concerns, reliable, available, explains in detail what's going on, answers and returns calls promptly and most of all she delivers. I just want to thank you Kassi Rigney for outcome of this case and i recommend her to everyone I know who needs her services💎💝💯🎊

I cannot speak highly enough of my experience as Judy Hester's client. My custody battle had been going on for nearly a year when I hired Judy, and she immediately delved into the details and made a plan of action, the result of which is everything I dreamed of. Judy was fully attentive and responsive, and if she could not get back to me about something immediately, one of the other attorneys in her practice did. Judy made me feel comfortable and confident. She is extremely thorough. I cannot say enough good things about her!
