"Judge Woolard is a terrific listener who is very fair. I think from the client's experience, they feel like they've been heard, that she genuinely understands what's important to them, she understands what the issues are, and she helps you get to a resolution. Her understanding of the law provided efficiency for our clients because we didn't have to educate her on what the legal issues were. And she never lost sight of the fact that - although this is our work and our job - these are people's lives. So, she had an interest in moving it along, getting this matter done, so these people can get back to their lives."
"Judge Woolard was very good at wrangling difficult attorneys - and I might have been one of those in this case. She also has a really deep understanding of the law - and not just family law. She practiced in civil litigation, and she was at the courthouse in lots of different roles for a long time too. So, she's got a good grasp of the Code of Civil Procedure, the Evidence Code. Her understanding of the law is quite impressive."
"Judge Woolard is highly professional, and she's kind, but that doesn't mean she's not able to make difficult decisions, which she does without hesitation when the time comes."
"Judge Woolard is kind and even-tempered. She's also got a ton of common sense, which I very much appreciate. And there is definitely no tomfoolery going on in her cases. She's able to see family law matters from both the perspective of figuring out what the legal issues are and how they can be resolved. But also, how to manage the emotions, the personalities, the dynamics. She gets the 360-degree view, and that is rare in family law."
