I Would Highly Recommend Lucrece Bundy
Reached out to Hope Law Firm and hired Lucrece Bundy with Hope Law Firm for a permanent guardianship case. Hope Law Firm was my choice as Lucrece Bundy specialized in the type of case I had filed and was trying to navigate on my own. In our initial consultation conversation, I knew she was the right person. She brought up items I would never have thought about that could have delayed a decision in the courts. Working with Lucrece Bundy and Hope Law Firm was professional and simple as she provided, step by step, concisely what I needed to do and what was being done by Hope Law Firm. She was very personable when we met, and she made me feel at ease during the court process. Prior to the hearing, she was very specific and precise about what to expect and the best approach during the hearing. After the hearing, the paperwork that needed to be filed had been prepared ahead of time, and she explained each document, making it possible to complete the same day. I would highly recommend Lucrece Bundy for any type of guardianship case.

Absolutely amazing!!
Absolutely amazing!! Greg and Jodie are so fantastic. Greg was very easy to talk to and always made sure to listen to what outcome I really wanted during this time. Jodie was so quick to answer any questions and was always a pleasure to talk to. This was my first time having to have a lawyer and they made the transition super smooth and easygoing. It was easy to share my story and feel like I was really being heard. He did not try to change my mind on decisions and always gave me all of the options before proceeding with anything. If I ever need a lawyer again, this is the first and only place I would go!! Thanks Greg and Jodie!!
