Margaret Baldwin Mcmullen Reston

This lady is appointed by the court to represent children, even kids that are manipulative to their parents and have a track record with school and other credible authority. Meg acts like something happened to her in her own childhood and at that moment she decided she would be committed to bringing justice to every child no matter what but the problem is that she doesn’t treat each Situation as unique. She doesn’t care what the parent says and tries to get the child to live with their grandmother so they can get away with whatever they want. She is a cutthroat and calculated individual with deep seeded issues of her own that she plays out in other people’s lives in court !! Barf !

I hired Ms. Reston for a divorce/custody matter to support me and my young son. Ms. Reston did not aggressively support me, my child or my case. Furthermore, she rarely answered my questions in any straightforward fashion creating greater confusion, worry and concern. Most emails that contained important questions or a request for clarification were ignored increasing my concerns and anxiety in one of the more difficult situations in life - divorce and child custody. Even my deep concerns for my child were not addressed with any degree of commitment, clarity, empathy or compassion. I payed her fee but she did not work for me or in my or my son's best interest, and did not fight for what is right for my child. Ms. Reston worked in her best interest. In the end, she added an extra layer of concern and stress to an already extremely difficult and stressful experience. All while costing me thousands of dollars in fees.
