After 45 years of practice, Joanne Romanow possesses a depth of wisdom that is immediately apparent. My situation involved a contentious divorce with significant assets and challenging custody questions. Joanne’s dual recognition in family law and mediation was crucial; she skillfully navigated between assertive litigation when necessary and pursuing pragmatic settlement options, always keeping my children's well-being and my financial security as the priority. Her vast experience with probate and modification matters meant she anticipated complications I hadn't considered. Based in Boston and a BC Law graduate, her deep local knowledge of the courts was an undeniable asset. Joanne is more than just a brilliant legal strategist; she provided steady, compassionate counsel during an incredibly stressful time, securing an outcome that has allowed my family to move forward with stability.
