Stories From Our Clients

We're Here to Guide You through Every Step

"Kind and empathetic"
Megan was fantastic. Not only did she handle the legal side of my child custody/support filing, but she was kind and empathetic too. And, we were able to settle before the hearing, so that was the best outcome I could've asked for given the circumstances. I'd definitely recommend the firm as a whole, as Alex was a huge help in settling my divorce seven years ago too. They're overall mindful of costs, supportive, and knowledgeable, and I'm very grateful for them.

"Absolutely wonderful"
I sought legal counsel after needing to renegotiate custody and child support after 4 years of divorce. I was referred to this law firm by a friend and became partnered with Megan and her team. They were absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process providing timely communication and updates, reassurances as the process unfolded and sound legal counsel. I would highly recommend them! This was one of the best decisions I've ever made and feel blessed to have had them with me through this stressful time.

- Maria S.
"Great Trusting Attorney!!!"
I have already referred Kevin to a few friends that are going to through the same things I went through for custody. During my first conversation with Kevin, he was very informative, knowledgeable, and felt very trustworthy and genuine. I had debating on hiring an attorney because of the cost and experiences in the past with other attorneys that I had, but after our initial conversation, I knew he was the right one for my case. Kevin always made me aware of all my options and helped me threw probably one the toughest times in my life. I will use him and his firm again if any issues should ever arise. The relief I felt knowing that he was on my side and fighting for what I wanted for my child was wonderful.
