What clients praise
- Warmth and compassion
- Strong clinical skill and effectiveness
- Ethical, thoughtful approach
- Clients feeling respected
Common critiques
- A single Healthgrades review raises confidentiality and bias concerns in a high-conflict custody case
Red flags
- One Healthgrades review (of only 3 total, small sample) describes confidentiality and bias concerns in a high-conflict divorce/custody matter involving children, but names an 'associate Dale Coleman' rather than Jodi Stanley directly; unclear if it reflects on Jodi Stanley personally or a colleague at a shared practice. Flagged for caution given the sensitivity of the complaint category, not as a confirmed finding against the subject.
