Law Offices of Schwartz & Godbey

Ms. Godbey is absolutley incredible! From the start the team and Ms. Godbey made me feel like I was heard, extremely comfortable, and most importantly at ease. I went to a previous attorney (worst mistake ever) and after several court hearings the previous attorney would not speak up and the courts just kept taking things away. After 10 months, I went to Ms Godbey so very desperate to get my daughter back. She filed paperwork the next day had court and all the sudden the judge truly listened to her on my behalf. That 1 court hearing she fought for what was truly the best interest of my daughter and I got her back with temp orders. Brittany picked up every single phone call/email. Ms. Godbey was always on standby for whatever was thrown my way. The team truly has your best interest at heart. I could never say enough thank you to her staff as much as I have been through. And we still have more to go but with her by my side I know my daughter and I are both safe. She truly advocates for their clients!

I’m so happy I chose this law office! Not only did Ms. Schwartz WIN my case, the office staff was very attentive, patient, and helpful. My ex made me look horrible in his court paperwork and attempted to have full custody of my daughter, but Ms.Schwartz and Jamina (paralegal) made sure it didn’t happen. Everytime new declarations came in, even if they were last minute, Jamina made sure my response was written in the correct context and filed everything timely. This law office fights hard for their clients and are very helpful and kind! They saved my daughter, and I am forever greatful. Ms. Schwartz is an amazing attorney, and you wouldn’t want anyone else to represent you.

After being swindled out of money from another law office I tried to finish my divorce myself. I had too many questions and decided to find a new lawyer. I researched many places and I am so happy I chose this office. Everyone from the receptionist, office manager, and legal staff were professional and understanding. I struggled paying, but they NEVER once hassled me for the retainer and allowed me to make payments. Malvina and Lyssandra were my legal staff. They were prompt at answering all my questions and made me feel there was hope. When Malvina witnessed how my ex husband treated me she even fixed his lawyer's botched paperwork for free just to help me end my divorce. (Yes read that again.) She is efficient and very knowledgeable. Also, she made sure to be as cost efficient as possible to help me save money! She laid out very specific details in my divorce papers to make sure my children and I were protected and always explained all of my options before moving forward! I was very skeptical of any law office after being taken advantage of. So I can personally say with confidence that there is no one better to handle your divorce than this law office! Thank you again for being such a blessing in a long drawn out divorce.

CONFIDENT, FIERCE, PRO CHILD & MILITARY FRIENDLY *Long but Honest experience* Law firm that truly will fight for you, works hard for you& finds your child a voice! They don't back down and are fully prepared. The knowledge we were represented with by Ms. Christina Godbey during our Custody/Visitation/Relocation hearings and all throughout the trial was nothing I've had before. Ms. Godbey never was thrown off course, always five steps ahead, never stumbled when presented with information, she never lacked confidence, professionalism and always stayed in communication as well as Ms. Schwartz. I was able to make payments, they never pressed me for money & was clear of financial obligations going forward. This law firm constantly gave me reassurance even when I was emotionally challenged(constantly) they had more than enough patience with me and my very messy case. The communication and support of the team with the front Receptionist Robyn, Paralegal Britney, and both attorneys was beyond what we hoped for. I lacked confidence and was at a low point in life, due to my own trauma from a past abusive relationship that involved my child and a previous messy 8 year court battle. We needed help from our situation that not only you suffer from, but your growing family, immediate family,& extended family endures because of the constant trauma & court life.(If you know you know) After many failed past Law firms...Finally! I found a law firm I will use again and again( I mean hopefully not but if needed I would!) They fought hard for my family's peace in 2020-2021 and were extremely sensitive with our case even while navigating the court systems during covids restrictions. As my growing family became a New Military family we became separated due to old court orders, COVID, lack of finances, scared to go to court, everyday life you name it. It weighed heavy on my marriage and growing family we needed to PCS(relocate), keep our full custody and be together and end the vicious abuse cycle with my past relationship.Soon as I found this law firm they assured me that my case had hope and my family would be a unit again. After a very emotional year long new battle in court and 2 years separated as a family(Oct 2021) we moved and we're all reunited! My child involved is thriving now and I never thought I'd see this day so soon! The court mandated protection and therapeutic services and settled our case. I went in asking for my then 8 year old to have a voice & to relocate which seemed impossible, and this law firm made it possible!! Settling a case & giving my now 11 yr old the voice & protection she deserves. Ms. Schwartz, your generosity weighs heavy on our heart & mind every day we are so grateful to you and your law firm. I truly thank God for this law firm and trust/thank this law firm with my whole heart. My family is whole because of their hard work & experience, patience etc . my immediate and extended family extends their gratitude as well. Ms. Godbey is worth it!! Today it's (November 2023) and we are living a life full of peace, recovery (therapy) & some much needed family time. Thank you, Ms. Schwartz and Ms. Godbey

I came to this law firm distraught over a troubling custody battle I was attempting to handle myself unrepresented. It was truly one of the best decisions I made as I felt an immediate sense of relief, support and genuine kindness from Mrs. Schwartz, the partnering attorney's and her staff. She was very compassionate, direct and honest about her values and beliefs surrounding custody battles and her desire for the outcome to always be in the best interest of the children involved. Everyone I have had interactions with have shown extreme compassion and an unparalleled knowledge of Family Law. Christina and Brittany have been supportive, responsive, and very professional through this entire process. I could not have asked for a better support system and legal representation to make sure my voice was heard and the needs of my son were being put first in all of this. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for everything you and your team has and continues to do for me and my son.
