I can say with complete conviction that JoAnn Coughtry is the only person I would want by my side through my custody battle. It was a nasty one to say the least and I’m so glad it is all over and done with. She dug right in and did not come up for air until all was made right.

The support area of my battle for lack of a better word was proving to be much more involved and combative than the custody and visitation. Of course I wanted to provide for my children who I love dearly but I did not want to be taken advantage of or made a fool of. I hired the right attorney to make sure neither would occur.

She was compassionate and empathetic towards my situation yet tough as nails at the same time. In other words she was exactly what I needed.

Hands down, the best divorce lawyer in New York.

One might think an uncontested divorce would be seamless but mine is proof that is not always the case. Divorce is the end of something that was intended to lifelong and heated feelings can make anything complicated. I was glad to have JoAnn guide me through mine.

JoAnn is an excellent attorney for family matters. She's patient and understands her clients. I highly recommend her for all your needs.

You won't be disappointed with JoAnn assisting you with your lawyer needs. Helping with my horrible divorce, she was professional and caring.

I've worked with Jo Ann for three years and she's always been wonderful about listening to my concerns and representing me the best way she can, considering the circumstances. She's worked with me financially and even though you can't always get the outcome you want, she still fights for you. When I get in a better spot financially I plan to work with her again.

First off, I do not write many reviews..check my profile. I was more than happy to give Joann a 5 star review simply because this was by far the best experience I've ever had with a lawyer, or any kind of business for that matter. To be at a 4.8 with this many reviews should tell you all you need to know. There is noone better out there for you. Just give her a call! From the first time we connected I knew she had me and my children's best interests at heart. In matters like this it feels assuring to know you are not just another paycheck, but that she genuinely wants to do her best for you. No matter how busy I knew she always was, I aways felt like she was 1000% on top of things. Very responsive to calls and emails. Flawless game plan. Excellent communication. And most importantly she get the job done! Hire with confidence that you are getting the best in the business. Thank me later

Sarah is the most upfront and honest attorney I've ever worked with. She truly cares about helping small businesses. Can't thank her enough for her help!

Very helpful!!

Extremely effective and experienced counsel. Her non traditional approach really changes the tide in a case. This attorney is a game-changer. She is no stranger to the 'kangaroo courts' and is unfazed by the notoriously corrupt rural upstate areas CPS/DSS parent trap. Most importantly in my case, her sensitivity to DV was paramount. I highly recommend Coughty Law. Jo Ann demonstrates trauma-informed awareness, and experience with domestic violence cases, making her a great choice for battered families seeking their freedom.
