Mediated our divorce

My husband and I decided to get divorced. Our kids are teenagers so they pretty much just come and go as they want. All of us were okay with just keeping schedules flexible. We pretty much knew how we wanted to split everything. We wanted to get divorced without spending tens of thousands of dollar...s. A friend of mine recommended Attorney Richardson. She told me Cam would stay neutral and not over charge us. I believe she handled our divorce the same way. It wasn't exactly cheap but it was cheaper than if we had kept going back to court. With this we only had to go to court once. Cam talked to us in normal people words and wasn't arrogant like so many attorneys. She made the process go much smoother than I thought it would. I feel like Cam was able to explain things in a way that made me make informed decisions. I feel that our divorce agreement was fair. I didn't get everything I wanted in the divorce but neither did my husband. If I find out someone is thinking about divorce I will recommend they go to her!

Guardianship

I had a really tough situation. My grandchild needed protection and I wasn't sure how to handle it. Cam helped me see that i HAD to do something. It was really tough. Cam helped me do what I needed to do. Cam went to court and I got to keep my grandchild safe. It still is hard. But I'm glad I ...did it. It was the right thing to do. I don't think I could have done it without Cam telling me it was more important to protect my grandchild. I have been taking baby steps but Cam has made sure everything has gone smoothly. I couldn't have done it without her. It was really complicated and emotional.

She told me not to spend my money.

I met with Cam and told her my situation the mother of my daughter. Cam boiled it down for me so I could understand what going to court could do for me. After meeting with her, I was able to realize that I could spend thousands of dollars on legal fees, not really change a lot, and make things even... heated with my ex. I was ready to give Cam her retainer and she told me to go home, sleep on it, and decide if I want to spend my money on her or saving for my daughter's education. I decided that I wanted to save my money! But now I know how to be smarter about involving the courts in my case. If something happens and I need to go to court, I trust that Cam will do right by me. It is clear to me that Cam wants to make money as a lawyer she is not a lawyer that is going to take a case just to make money. Cam is an attorney with integrity and I don't think you find that every day. Especially in cases that have to do with divorce and kids. I would refer her to a friend or a family member. She gave me legal guidance and perspective that was very worthwhile. Thanks Cam! I didn't like everything you told me but I respect you for it.

She kept my case in perspective for me

My divorce was extremely stressful with my ex and I arguing about the kids, retirement money, real estate, etc. My ex said awful things! Cam helped me keep what was in front of the court in perspective. She helped me understand what to focus on for the court part of my divorce. Sometimes she said... it wasn't worth the fight because of the cost and other times she said it is worth the fight. I trusted her and found that she really listed to what was IMPORTANT TO ME. In court, she knew my case better than my ex's attorney. She would also meet with me after work and around my kids' schedules. My manager didn't like me taking a lot of time off and I needed to save my time for when I had to be with my kids. The divorce was awful but I think it would have been worse if I didn't have Cam as my attorney. A friend of mine was served with divorce papers this week and I had her call Cam. I know Cam will do right by my friend.

High Conflict Divorce

I was looking for an attorney who would be reasonable with my divorce and not just try to charge me for everything possible. I knew there were areas where my wife and I could agree but deciding on the kids was complicated. Attorney Richardson was able to keep my divorce on track. On the areas my w...ife and I had pretty much come to terms with, stayed the way we had discussed. When it came to disagreements, Cam was direct with me and took a strong position with my wife's attorney. It wasn't cheap but Attorney Richardson didn't drive up my fees just to make money. I feel like when I had to pay legal fees it was for good reason. I recommend Attorney Richardson but hope my ex and I can work things out so i don't have to go back to court.
