I can’t say enough good things about Nancy Dreeben.
A few years ago, I was going through a child custody dispute. I was not allowed to take my daughter out of the mother’s house due to court paperwork her mother filed (we all know the other party lies and says whatever necessary to fit their agend...a). The mother’s agenda was keep me away from my daughter and make me broke at the same time. Why? … in my opinion, to make me look like I'm a bad that shouldn't be allowed to be a dad while at the same time making me go broke so that I would not be able to afford a custody trial. I was allowed to see my daughter ONLY in the mother’s house. To make matters worse, my daughter’s mother installed a camera in her house to record me during my visits with my daughter. In addition, my family was not permitted to see my daughter. This all happened while I was paying full child support (yes … the child support went to the mother getting her hair done and a new car).
1. Hire Nancy Dreeben: I hired Nancy off of a recommendation from an attorney I know.
2. Parenting time #1: by filing the appropriate paperwork, Nancy was able to get me parenting rights (where I could take my daughter to my house one day during the week and every other weekend). This was just in the beginning. These cases take a long time.
3. Parenting time #2: Nancy took my daughter's mother back to court and was able to get the parenting time adjusted so that I had custody of my daughter 50% of the time! (though I was still paying child support).
4. Trial: Nancy is the calm, cool, and collected type in her office. In the trial room she was like a lioness and that trial room was her jungle. When it was Nancy’s turn to litigate the case, she turned the whole situation around bringing both truth and logic back into the court room. She made the mother's case and the mother’s attorney look ridiculous at times in front of the judge.
5. Trial outcome: a) I have custody of my daughter 50% of the time. B) Every aspect of my daughter's parenting needs/require my approval too! I get to be a dad and not relegated to the side like trash. I live in the city so I we agreed to send my daughter to a private school which is equal distance between my daughter’s mother and me. I do not have to pay child support as that money is now going to pay school tuition each year (and not to her mother’s hair or new car fund).
Conclusion … I’ve have a wonderful experience working with Nancy Dreeben. She is the best attorney. The whole experience/situation is nerve racking/horrible. You'll have many questions. Nancy Dreeben is always there when you have those questions. That was very important to me. You need to know somebody is in your corner. Hopefully you will have Nancy Dreeben in your corner.
Thank you Nancy!
