What People Say

Jessica Roth has given my family solid legal advice over the past few years. I am impressed by her common sense approach in handling cases. She is forthright and intelligent. I appreciate the integrity of she and her staff.
- KATHLEEN N.
Meredith has the knowledge and compassion to make the divorce process less painful. She was able to get me the custody and timesharing with my daughter that I deserved. Meredith worked hard to make sure my daughter did not have to be involved. She is a true professional with fantastic communication skills and I would highly recommend her for any case involving children.
- J.W.
I would highly recommend Emma Whitley to anyone going through a military divorce. She was very knowledgeable about all of the intricacies involved with this type of divorce and pointed out things for me to think about that I either knew nothing about or had not considered. It was an extremely stressful time and she was able to guide me when my thinking was clouded. Ms. Whitley always got back to me in a timely manner whenever I had questions or concerns and the entire staff was also very helpful and professional. I would highly recommend Ms. Whitley to anyone going through a similar situation.
- ALICIA H.
Sarah Armstrong and her paralegal Katie Webb were a blessing. They were patient with me when I started to get impatient and frustrated with the process. Sarah is very intelligent and she does her job very well. Katie was reliable and kept me posted with updates about my case. Amazing and dependable team. Thank you both for the work you have done for me I will be forever grateful.
- VICKIE L.
Emma Whitley is incredible. She listens, gets to know her clients, and truly cares – BEST attorney we have ever worked with! ARWJ Family Law is a wonderful firm!
- ANGELINA A.
I was so grateful to Sarah Armstrong for taking my divorce case, after the pandemic started and my first divorce attorney had to stop working due to a personal crisis. Sarah and Katie supported me very well through a lengthy and sometimes complicated pandemic divorce. When we finally thought it was over, my ex’s attorney omitted something important in the concluding document. Sarah missed it initially, but she absolutely made it right by being held accountable and reducing my fees accordingly. Nobody’s perfect, but they did an awesome job. Divorce is one of the most unpleasant things you can go through, Sarah and Katie made it bearable for me and I will always be grateful to them.
- SANDY F.
Meredith Johnstone at Armstrong, Roth, Whitney & Johnstone is a Godsend! She is absolutely amazing and we owe her our life for all the hard work she and her team has put forth towards our custody battle! She is brilliant!!!
- CHERIE O-R.
I am forever grateful for Emma Whitley and her team helping me through my contentious divorce. My initial attorney was no match for my Ex (a corporate attorney from NYC) and his legal team. When Emma took over my case it was a game-changer and I finally received professional, solid advice and a plan on how to get my divorce done as quickly and easily as possible. Emma is also a mother and was very empathetic, resourceful, and practical in her approach regarding custody and dividing assets. Without Emma and her team providing mediation resources and keeping us out of court I would probably still be battling my case for years and spending tens of thousands more dollars unnecessarily. Thank you ARWJ Family Law.
- ALICIA S.
Amazing team! I felt helpless until I had an appointment with Sarah. She not only treated me with dignity she explained a complicated matter that I could not understand. She advocated for me and my family with honesty, integrity and a wealth of knowledge. Her candor help guide us through a challenging situation. You will not be disappointed.
- GINA D.
There are so many compliments I have in mind that I don’t know where to begin. These folks are whip smart, highly experienced and truly caring about the client. Sarah explains things in a way I can understand. If I get stuck she continues to break it down even if it takes me 2 to 3 times to follow the way the law applies, how to best prepare and proceed. She doesn’t take advantage of my lack of legal knowledge or have me feeling silly for asking questions. In fact, she always checking if I have questions. I trust Sarah explicitly. She came highly recommended and I’m really appreciative she could take me as a client.
