Divorced and a Father

When I realized my wife and I were heading to a divorce there was no doubt in my mind I would lose my three year old daughter. I am happy to say, through Carol's representation, I was awarded custody of my daughter. When you consider Both my wife and I were considered fit parents in the eyes of the c...ourt, it makes the outcome all the more amazing. While the court says a decision is not based on whether you are a man or woman, in reality it does have an impact on the decision. Very few attorneys can achieve a result of a father being awarded custody of a 3 year old daughter the way I achieved this with Carol. What sets Carol apart is her honest approach and her preparation. I met with multiple attorneys before deciding on Carol. I choose her because she was the only one who gave me honest answers and didn't tell me what I wanted to hear. This honest approach helped me deal with the emotional strain both personally and during the actual trial. She helped me maintain my emotions and focus by vigorously reviewing every detail ahead of the trial and even having me sit through a mock trial in her office. Our preparation included everything from controlling my mannerisms in court to having the proper reflections in my voice. There were never any questions posed to me by the opposing attorney that I was unprepared for. I truly believe that our preparation was a main factor in being awarded custody of my daughter. There is no way I could ever adequately express my gratitude for Carol's help through the most difficult time in my life.
