Testimonials

Joy was so helpful and understanding throughout this whole process. She was my consulting attorney during divorce mediation, and she made me feel listened to, supported, and cared for. She also gave very practical advice to help me think clearly. I'd definitely recommend her!

Joy is a knowledgeable and warm professional who manages to make the mediation process human and as painless as you could hope it to be. I appreciated her attention to detail, responsiveness and encouragement along the way.

I never could have done it without Joy! She was always on time, always on point, and knew exactly the right way to proceed—legally and emotionally. Throughout my entire separation and divorce process, I felt safe and secure working with her. Joy truly understood the emotions I was going through and always had the right suggestions at the right time. I’m beyond grateful to have had her by my side, and I’m more than happy that I chose to work with her. Many Thanks to you joy

I was looking for a lawyer who could help me with the prenup that my fiancé and his lawyer had drafted. Joy S.Rosenthal was very patient, always responsive, knowledgeable and sincere! She explained me all legal aspects of the document that I didn’t understand fully, walked me through different scenarios that can happen in the future, I was able to look into possible situations from another angle. Most importantly I felt that she cares about me and about my future family. With her help the process went smoothly and we signed it in timely manner. I will definitely recommend Joy S Rosenthal to anyone who’s looking for a truly professional lawyer!

I couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with for our divorce mediation. Joy is a wonderful, unique combination of warmth and professionalism who made this painful process easier. She was fair and thoughtful of each person in the family. She is highly knowledgable and a great communicator, so she made the process clear and gently introduced different perspectives. Joy was mindful of our younger son, who was still a minor, and helped us consider what might be best for him as he transitioned into adulthood. I have a deep appreciation for Joy and her ability to help us navigate this difficult time with more ease, compassion and understanding than I ever imagined. I highly recommend Joy!

I hired Joy to help me review a separation agreement my ex and I had drafted and I couldn't be happier with my choice. When I came to her, I was feeling completely overwhelmed and like I would never finish. But she quickly helped me hone in on the few things I hadn't yet articulated in my agreement and together we reworked those sections. Throughout the process, Joy was direct, so easy to talk to and very supportive of the vision my ex and I shared for the well being of our kids. Highly recommend!

Joy is delightful to work with. During an incredibly difficult and painful transition in my life, I was referred to Joy and I'm so glad that I was. She provided the perfect level of empathy, kindness, skill and experience to help navigate mediation and helped me feel confident and grounded in the midst of a difficult process. Although I don't wish my experience on anyone, if you must go through it, you are in the very best of hands with a skilled and capable attorney like Joy.

Joy is one of those lawyers that you can feel, in your bones, has not only your best interests, but the best interests of your children and in fact, the whole family at heart. In my experience, her practice is the perfect combination of expertise and caring which is really everything I was looking for with an emotional matter like a divorce. Thank you again, Joy.

We are so happy that we found Joy to work with for our second-parent adoption process. She is such a pleasure to work with and made a daunting process feel...

Me and my wife worked with Joy on our second-parent adoption. As confusing as these processes can be, Joy patiently went over all of the requirements, explained all the steps and then patiently waited while we took our time collecting all of our documentation. Her assistant Andy kept tab on us as well, gently reminding us on what was still left to gather and making sure we are on track with the process. Being that we just had a baby, it was much appreciated and needed. Both were so understanding and Joy was very kind, welcoming and took the time to talk over all of our million questions and scenarios. At no point did we feel we did not receive adequate attention, Joy was available to us through the whole process. When it finally came time for court appearances, everything went as smooth as can be. We are looking forward to working with Joy on our next second-parent adoption with baby number 2 later this year.

In what is obviously a difficult situation Joy made it pleasant and easily understandable. It is exactly what you're looking for when you choose the...

We loved working with Joy. She was straightforward, efficient, and honest. We would work with her again in a second!

Joy's mediation made the inevitably painful and difficult process of divorce much easier. One of my biggest priorities was reaching a settlement agreement that the court would find fair and reasonable, and having her knowledge really reduced that anxiety. Joy was practical and kept our discussions in person, by phone, or email focused on the mechanics of what needs to happen. She explained each step clearly. Her approach helped us both walk away feeling like we had been fair. Highly recommended.

We engaged Joy and her team for an adoption and I would not have asked for a better team. Professional commitment to client needs, reasonable fees and superb service. I recommend Joy to anyone who requires hustle-free service. Fantastic team!
