Jo Ann was incredibly kind, helpful and supportive throughout the difficult process of negotiating collection of unpaid alimony. Her attention to details and professionalism made a stressful process bearable. Jo Ann always returned calls and answered all questions and concerns promptly and most of all I always felt that she was there for me and had my back. She is an expert in matrimonial law and I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my case!

Ms. Shartrand received 5 stars from me due to her extreme professionalism. She went above and beyond what I thought possible, and she is very quick to answer any questions or concerns I have. I have had bad experiences with lawyers, And she is by far the best I've been able to work with. She really takes your situation into account and works for YOU. Beyond happy with her skill and work!

Top Notch attorneys!

Jo Ann Shartrand was our attorney in a mediation for a separation and divorce. We experienced not only an attorney who is competent and an expert on the law, but a person we could totally trust who was working for both of us in a positive manner. She made us feel relaxed and comfortable each step of the way . Jo Ann explained each document thoroughly and made us feel most confident in all decisions. I would not hesitate to recommend Jo Ann , as she is a dedicated attorney who is focused on helping others.

From the moment I met Jo Ann, I knew that I finally found a lawyer I could trust. Everything from her graceful demeanor, expertise in matrimonial law, and compassion toward my situation, told me that she was the right person to entrust with my future. Being a proponent of mediation, she didn’t make, contrary to other lawyers I consulted, false promises, but drew, from the very beginning, a realistic picture of my situation and what to expect during the divorce process. She stood by me every step of the way with her extraordinary knowledge of divorce law, the legal system, and a solid strategy regarding the financial aspects of my divorce. Any questions I had were always answered in an extremely prompt manner; none were left unanswered. While at court, I observed other lawyers arguing and shouting aggressively, a stark contrast to Jo Ann’s graceful and poised professional conduct. Throughout the divorce proceedings, Jo Ann knew exactly what tone to take, when to gently insist and when to negotiate. On our final court date, the presiding judge thanked us for the level of professionalism, civility, and intelligence with which our divorce was handled. Having to face divorce after twenty-eight years of marriage was the most devastating experience of my life, both emotionally and financially. I could not have coped with the year-long process without Jo Ann’s steadfast support. I will be forever grateful for her valuable compassionate advice and legal expertise.

Jo Ann handled a child support case and an extended child custody case for me and provided excellent professional counsel throughout the process. Her knowledge of family court and custody law helped me gain the visitation rights I was seeking. She provided great support during the challenging situations and offered sound and successful alternatives to handle the many obstacles encountered throughout the process. I highly recommend Jo Ann.

I hired Jo Ann to represent me when my husband refused to mediate our divorce. I am glad I did. She is knowledgeable, responsive, and highly effective. I recommend her without reservation.

I hired Jo Ann as my mediation attorney for a very emotional separation/divorce in January 2015. Jo Ann mitigated the extremely emotional, and at times very heated mediations between myself & ex husband with extreme poise, compassion, intelligence and precision to get what needed to be done, done. Jo Ann promptly returned my countless inquiries and ensured the turnaround time for all filing/paperwork/etc. was expedited very quickly. You have to have more than skill & intelligence to be able to successfully mitigate through such a journey as divorce mediation. It is now March 2015, and, the divorce is final & was seemless. Jo Ann was a pleasure to work with & would highly recommend her.

I highly recommend JoAnn Shartrand. She represented me in my divorce and I am so happy that I chose her. She is intelligent, highly skilled, knows the law, and was very supportive and helpful. She was always keeping up with the case and always familiar with the details. She encouraged me to seek the settlement to which I was entitled, which left me in a far better financial position than I would have been without her counsel. I truly enjoyed working with her.

Ms. Shartrand served as the mediator in my divorce. She delivered professional guidance and direction in an unbiased and compassionate manner, and guided us through a very difficult time. Her knowledge of the process, along with her understanding of potential future issues, helped aid in our decision making. She was very objective throughout the process, and offered many suggestions to help us along the way. I would highly recommend obtaining Ms. Shartrand as an attorney for anyone going through a divorce.

Jo Ann has handled two complicated child support cases, modified an order of support, and handled an emancipation case for me. All three ended in complete success, thanks to her. Cases were appealed by my ex-husband, and Jo Ann made sure that we won each time. Also, my ex-husband lied continuously in the courtroom. If not for the evidence she so expertly presented, the judge likely wouldn't have been aware of the truth. One case was seven years ago, and the other two were seven weeks ago. Her quality was consistent throughout. Thank you, Jo Ann!

I am VP of a union so I work with lawyers all the time. When it came down to hiring one for myself I knew what to look for. I couldn't have picked a better one than, JoAnn Shartrand! She knows family court and divorce rules like the back of her hand. Every time I had to step into court I felt confident cause of having JoAnn representing me! Having 4 kids and coming out of a 10 year relationship where a spouse became violent and a addict wasn't easy and was scary as to what my future would hold and how I would survive. JoAnn prepared me every step of the way with what to expect and always took the time to answer my many questions and give advice. Anytime I contacted her she didn't have to stop and grab the file she knew ever detail of your case because she took it as serious as her clients. Working with JoAnn now for over a year I fell she is more than a lawyer to me and my kids but instead a friend cause she goes above and beyond because she cares for you as a person and not just another case!
