Had her as a GAL one time, she's not the best to put it mildly, try and find someone better

See edit after original review! Useless as GAL. Decided the best for child based on parents only. Was presented as a truth finder. Never spoke to the other significant people in child's life, school, doctor. Edit to add: I am one of the significant others in the child's life. You are correct, you never interacted with me at all.

Judy was hired to act as guardian ad litem to my children in a contentious divorce case. Right off the bat it took her months to get ahold of my ex or I to schedule a time to meet our children, which caused further delays and additional costs to my attorney and the courts. She was extremely forgetful, missing appointments with us or calling hours before to reschedule because she forgot she had something else going on. I do not believe she advocated for the best interests of my children and dismissed actual concerns for their safety. I have no faith in her ability to speak on behalf of children and ensure their voices are heard.

she allowed 3 three year old to live in a home where the mother continues smokes weed with him and sends him to school reaching of it. when the admin reached out to her. her response was so what its legal. the second time an email was sent out and i asked her. are you ok with him being there. she said well at lease he's not being exposed to it while he's in school. she doesn't care about the child. after she disregarded the teachers report of seeing him on a daily bases and contiuning to show up to school smelling of weed,made a report saying that he should remain with the mother. shortly after it was closed. his mother starting inflicting harm on an autistic 4 year old by digging her nails into him tp where it broke skin and blead because the mother has anger issues and cant cope with him. if you have her good luck. i get complaints every day i pick him up after he's been with his mother from the teacher.

I had Judy Assad as a divorce attorney a couple years ago. I was reading these reviews and couldn't help but share my experience. I found Judy to be straight forward, no nonsense, and to the point. Another persons review brought up that she is well known in the family court system. SHE IS, if you do not think that carrys any weight, you are sadly mistaken. Judy was more than competent (I would say very well versed) accommodating, and what I felt was most important AVAILABLE for me during a dark time. None of us enter our marriages expecting to fail. I hired Judy for her experience, and knowledge. Yes, there are many attorneys that pass the bar every year, but there are not many attorneys who can walk into a court room and receive the respect of the judges they practice in front of. I hope to never have to do this again but if I did I would hire Judy again in a heartbeat.
