Joedy is my uncle, and he helped me twice like a champion both times with my lying, cheating ex wife. He certainly does not suffer ignorant or ridiculous people. He is incredibly busy all the time, and if you do not understand how the legal system works (or rather: DOESNT WORK), he does not offer legal education - so don't even think for a second that he is going to do so. Joedy is in a profession that constantly deals with liars and ignoramouses who have no idea how the legal process works. When I see all these angry, misspelled words and complete lack of understanding how bureaucracy works, I can fully see why he's not calling back: He's not your dad - he's just a lawyer. Anybody with a basic understanding of the process will tell you that he is a badass, and that he does not trifle with idiots.

Joedy is a flat out liar. Did absolutely nothing to represent me in front of Social Services on a false Domestic Violence charge. Received retainer upfront and kept over 1/2 of it for doing absolutely nothing. He fabricated stories saying I missed appointments and was the cause for his lack of action. He does not return phone calls. He has severe mental problems.

I would never recommend this attorney. My ex has failed to help support our child for the last 6 years when he was able to get 50/50 custody and proceeded to go after me for child support after he lost yet another job I retained Mr. DeFrank and he has done absoutely nothing. He showed up to court completely unprepared. Made no arguments that my ex was unemployed by choice and living off of his now wife then girlfriend. He took my retainer did nothing for my case never filed a single motion. Here I am 9 months later and my case is exactly the same if not worese than it was before. He is NEVER available and NEVER returns phone calls, rarely responds to emails. He scheduled court dates twice without informing until 2-3 days before the court date. There are issues, concerns, questions that I have asked him multiple times over 9 months that he has failed to answer nor act on. I would look else where!

Does not return calls promptly. Got paid in full (retainer fee plus more)and has not done anything for me since. Although, I have physical custody of my kids, there is no legal document on file stating who has custody. When I ask for documentation, Mr DeFrank evaded my question by saying, "you got custody, were'nt going back to court for custody". Since the ex knows this, he plans to take me back to court for custody. Mr. DeFrank negociated 120 days of house arrest. Per a superior court judge, that was far too much for what I did. I have been waiting since April 2013 for a settlement court date. I have called Mr DeFrank several times since April 2013. When he did return my call, he says, "still waiting to be put on the Family Law court calendar". I don't believe it takes more than 6 mos to be put on the court's calendar, even it the date was next year. As of today, I still haven't heard from him. TODAY, I FIRED HIM!!!

Joedy De Frank does not return phone calls, doesnt file the right papers, delays/continues a hearing on his time. I would not recommend this attorney, as I have paid out more by just having him involved with my case. He is also rated F on BBB and has several complaints about over charging people. He has sanctions against him too. Google his name and you will find all this to be true.

He rarely returns calls, He took over a month to file our case with the courts. and then he did not file the final papers need for the judge to sign in our case. we are currently looking for a new attorney to complete what I paid good money for Joedy to do. I would not recommend him to anyone.
