Rockstar Lawyer

In June of 2020, my ex decided she wasn't going to allow me to see my children anymore, through unsubstantiated claims. My lawyer at the time, who I had warned of these behaviors, had no response. I fired her, hired Grace, and for the first time in months had a real advocate who fought hard and knew ...what she was talking about. Grace saw me through one of the hardest periods of my life, She filed multiple motions. She was accessible and helpful. She assured me time and time again I would see my children. When we had a hearing, almost five months later we won. None of my ex's or her lawyer's false accusations stood up. Grace filed 3 motions and we won all 3 because Grace knows the system. It is no surprise that the reviews here are overwhelmingly positive. She fought hard and smart. If you need a divorce attorney and want a warrior on your side who is seasoned, compassionate and unstoppable, hire Grace

Someone who really cares

Grace took my very difficult divorce and child custody case. She is so patient and kind and held me up through a year of hell. She always answered my calls and emails and was there for me when I needed someone to talk to. She is so much more than a lawyer. She is very smart and knows the law and ...knows how to facilitate even the most difficult negotiations. My ex told lies about me to the court and tried to have the kids taken from me. We had to go to trial but Grace skillfully worked my case and the lies were exposed. In the end I was very satisfied with the result. I would highly recommend Grace as a divorce attorney. She really cares and really works hard for her clients.

Lawyer and Mentor

I met Grace by chance as she was volunteering her time at the local court house's probate and family court department the day I walked in. She gave me the confidence and courage I needed to pursue my parental rights in court. Always having good advice and an excellent sense of the law, I quickly saw ...her as a mentor and felt very comfortable with her in my corner. We received a desirable outcome driven entirely by Grace's expertise and experience. My case settled without going to trial. I always felt like she was working hard and invested in my case. Grace is no rookie, she is a veteran who knows her stuff.

“Amazing Grace”!

There aren’t enough words to describe how absolutely amazing this woman is, but I will do my best... Grace is brilliant, compassionate, caring and driven. Grace has helped me through the hardest time of my life in fighting for the safety of my child. Being very unfamiliar with the court system I dec...ided to be safe and hire someone to help me navigate through my custody case. I believe the universe helped me choose Grace from a list of reccomended attorneys and from the moment I met her I knew she was the right choice. I did not even bother to meet with anyone else! Grace listened to me for almost 2 hours in our initial meeting. She took on my case as if she was fighting for her own child. She would always answer my frantic texts and phone calls through the process and she would instantly calm me down with her knowledge of the law and her kind words of support. The outcome turned out better than I even expected! Thanks to Grace I know my daughter will be safe and she will have a relationship with both myself and her Father. She is my guardian angel. She is “Amazing Grace”!

Dedicated and personal

Grace offered to work on my child support and custody case pro bono and i don't know what I would have done without her! She was truly a knight in shining armor! She worked tirelessly for me and I felt not only that I had a dedicated and knowledgeable advocate, but also a friend in her. She is so b...usy helping so many people, but always had time for me. I didn't feel that I was just another number to her, but more than that. I felt like I mattered to her and the case mattered to her. The outcome was favorable for myself and my son and I really can't say enough good things about Grace and her steadfastness. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I can't believe someone with a heart so big is a lawyer and I mean that in a good way! =)
