Judy, Rich, and Lavonna have been so incredibly helpful during what has been one of the most difficult times of my life. Judy has been available outside normal business hours when I have had time-sensitive issues occur. She has reached out to check on how I'm doing and how my kids are doing. Rich has walked me through information related to paperwork, filings, and questions I've had along the way. Lavonna kept me updated on issues related to a hearing and was patient with all of my additional follow up questions/comments. Judy has also reached out several times to give me pep talks to hang in there throughout the process. Her sense of humor, heart, and creative solutions reinforced I made the right choice going with Brazill Hester. They are truly compassionate advocates and I highly recommend them for any family law needs.

I’ve had Judy (and Rich) representing me, as needed, for almost 15 years. They are always quick to respond with excellent advice and a helpful hand to navigate through complex legal issues. They care about their clients and are excellent at dealing with sensitive situations and negotiating with difficult people. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an attorney.

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!

I couldn't be happier with my experience working with the Brazill Hester team. I was looking for the best team possible, as I REALLY wanted to come out of my situation in good shape. Thanks to Judy and team, this entire process wasn't all that tough. They did the heavy lifting, walked me by hand through the entire process, and made it all quite a pleasant experience considering the circumstances. Most importantly though, Judy is phenomenal at what she does, she stays leaps and bounds ahead of the opposition. Very glad I found her and that she took me on!

There is nothing more important than your children and making sure they are getting the absolute best. From the moment I first spoke on the phone right up until this very moment I have been immeasurably grateful for the warm, intelligent, understanding, yet incredibly fierce nature of the Brazill Hester team. I know that we are working toward an end result that is the best possible scenario for my children. What else would I be asking for?

Judy Hester and her staff are amazing. The communication and friendliness of each person I met along the way exceeded my expectations. Judy always took the time to make sure that I understood each process we went through in my case which I certainly appreciated. The court experience can be scary but with Judy's experience and calming nature, it made the process less stressful. If you are looking for an experienced and friendly practice, I highly recommend Brazill Hester PC!

Judy Hester has been restoring my faith in the legal system. Having been embroiled in a highly contentious divorce and custody dispute since 2013, I am so happy to find an attorney who listens and cares about the details, understands the impacts to my child and works hard to accurately represent an argument and case that is in alignment with my specific life situation (not looking to just charge for boilerplate responses). She is knowledgeable, highly capable and respected by her peers and colleagues. Judy was able to provide more guidance and momentum in my case in just a few months after engaging her, than the previous attorney had provided after years of involvement. She is a true advocate for doing the right thing for her clients and in my case (and the reason I still need an attorney) for their children. I am so grateful she was referred to me.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
