The right man for the job

My marriage has been rocky since my youngest son was born. His mother and I have been separated numerous times over the past 8 years and about 3 years ago, we finalized the divorce after she relocated to RI. The divorce brought up numerous issues and my ex was granted placement of the children. Durin...g this time, their physical health, mental health, and academics declined severely. A few months after the divorce was finalized, my current wife and I decided that this can NOT continue, that something needed to be done, and began searching for an attorney. We contacted nearly a dozen or so and each one turned me down. No one would even look at my case. Then we stumbled across Don Moyer. He saw something the others didn’t and we started to build a case. A few months later, my youngest son became ill and had a BMI of 13.5. He was in the second percentile and at incredible risk for malnourishment or worse. Don jumped into action and filed an emergency petition and I contacted DCYF, but they threw away my initial report because I’m not a medical professional or educator. After a call to the supervisor, DCYF began an investigation. Don was in touch with them every step of the way. My ex-wife attended the emergency hearing without legal representation and was granted a 30-day continuance. After the 30 days, the judge scheduled a camera interview with the children. Nearly 6 weeks later, the children expressed to the judge a desire to live in Florida with dad. After the interview the judge saw no change of circumstance and was ready to make a decision. Don convinced her that she didn’t have all the facts and another court date was scheduled. After multiple extensions, continuances, and postponements the judge assigned the Guardian ad Litem from the divorce once again to investigate the situation. Don and I provided mountains of evidence, school reports, psychological evaluations, deposition forms, and notes to the Guardian. After several more delays, an emergency motion was filed and I was awarded placement of the children. Don stood by my side through thick and thin. He was not afraid to stand up for me and the children. One hearing in particular stands out. Opposing council was making statements for the record, leaving out key information in each statement. Don politely went to clarify multiple statements form opposing council and the stenographer snapped. Don Moyer is by far the best thing that happened to me and my family. Because of him, my children can finally have a chance to be happy and I am forever grateful.

Out of state custody

Mr. Moyer and his team was absolutely incredible! They always communicated greatly and always got back to me either that day or the following day. Mr. Moyer even answered me on late evenings and weekends when issues came up. My journey with Mr. Moyer started in October of 2018. When I first spoke... with him implied if everything that I was saying was true and can be proven he will try his hardest to get me custody of my daughter, and he did. Mr. Moyer has access to some great resources that helped me solidify my case which helped dramatically. Mr. Moyer and his team fought aggressively and professionally throughout my trial. I am now waiting on the judgement from the judge. Mr. Moyer, his team, and his resources may have been expensive but was worth every penny to solidify my case to go to trial. No matter the outcome of my case, I highly recommend anyone seeking an out-of-state custody case to hire Mr. Moyer and his team, he will be straight up and honest with you throughout the entire process. As long as you are honest and give hime everything; Good, bad or indifferent he will give you all your options and the potential outcomes.

Kind and Compassionate

Compassionate. Reliable. Thorough. Empathetic. The Moyer Law office made me feel like my case was of the upmost importance to them. I have had direct dealings with Attorney Don Moyer and Kim, his paralegal. They are knowledgeable, quick in response and very attentive to their client's needs and conce...rns. I would HIGHLY recommend this team.

Complicated Out of State Case

I called Don after careful research on who could handle my complicated case. My divorce was completed in another state back in 2008. It was modified in that same state in 2011 to allow for relocation of myself and our three minor children. Unfortunately, things became complicated and he fell behind i...n child support, extracurriculars, and medical expenses. Other attorneys encouraged me to file back in the original state even though we are residents in RI. This would have been more complicated and very costly. Don jumped right in and helped me through it all. First with changing jurisdiction to RI, then with multiple petitions and then finally with recouping the arrearage. He was patient and showed his support through it all. Then, when my new husband was faced with some complicated issues with his ex-wife, Don jumped in to assist us with those as well. We trust Don with all of our legal issues and can certainly attest to his expertise. Not only is he caring, but he will certainly go to battle for his clients.
