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.
