Look no further for a lawyer who will truly have your back…

Rory will believe in you and fight for you. He listens to your concerns and he is honest with you. The whole process of divorce be difficult to comprehend for those who are not familiar with the legal system, but Rory explains it all and answers any questions you have going into it. You feel confiden...t going into court each and every time because Rory takes the time to thoroughly prepare you. I had a mountain of evidence and Rory took time to go through it all and present it in court at the appropriate times. At the mid-point of my testimony in trial, I was awarded sole legal and physical custody of my children. This was the outcome that I knew was the best for my children in regards to their safety and well-being. As my case continues on, Rory continues to be the best advocate for what is right. I have recommended Rory to others and will continue to do so.

Exceptional Attorney

Rory is a capable, knowledgeable and professional attorney. Just as importantly, he makes the divorce process as painless as possible. He guided me through it, answering every text or email in a timely manner. Rory not only made sure that I received the best possible agreement, he took the time to ...ensue that I understood everything that was occurring. His knowledge of the law is exceptional, and he works quickly and efficiently.

Rory has represented me for years now through a divorce, custody, and child support. He has gone above and beyond and exceeded expectations. I highly recommend Rory.

Amazing divorce and custody attorney

I hired Rory for my divorce and custody to take over my case after two hearings. I chose Rory because of his experience in law enforcement, and how understanding he was of divorces involving domestic abuse and violence. Rory took over with only 4 weeks to the next hearing. My previous attorney had ag...reed to temporary custody terms against my approval and Rory overturned these terms immediately. He advised me throughout the process and supported me during the pre trial and starting of the trial. His knowledge of the law but more specifically the psychology and dynamic of abusive marriages was crucial and incredibly welcome in my case. Rory was outstanding, very articulated and composed when trial started (despite the other’s party’s outbursts) and we settled this case. I am very happy with the outcome of this case and the divorce and custody terms. I will run back to Rory if I ever need his services again.
