Curtis Bounds handled my child custody case so that I can maintain custody of my grandson bc I knew his mom was still not fit. Mr. Bounds is extremely calm, professional and extremely knowledgeable in family law. He has a dynamite team and they all are Grade A+. It was just amazing to see his strateg...y plan on how he really fights for you. I recommend Mr. Bounds wholeheartedly and will def call on him if I ever need him again. Thank you Mr. Bounds for all your hard work you put into winning a successful case for me.

Curtis Bounds Highly Recommended as Family Law Attorney

Divorce can be a highly emotionally charged situation in which anger and spite take over logical thinking. It also can be a financial nightmare as one tries to figure out whose is whose. Curtis Bounds is a rock of stability and logic with a sense of humor when appropriate. He is honorable and a man ...of integrity. He is respectful to others. While his focus is to find the best solution for his client, and to put his client first as the advocate he is, he takes great pains to understand the other side, as well. He does not get carried away by the emotion. He believes in finding the amicable agreement, which in the end saves his client time and money. It is not unusual for him to point out to the client the cost of an action the client might want to take. When his client needs protection, however, he also is there and knows what to do. I have great respect for Mr. Bounds. He is an outstanding member of Delaware’s legal community and I recommend him.

Extremely challenging and complicated child custody case

Mr. Bounds handled my divorce and child custody case. The child custody case was extremely complex and in fact lasted 7 years. It even involved certain state agencies. At the end the whole affair was resolved in my favor due entirely to Mr. Bounds. What is remarkable is his in-depth knowledge of ...the legal system, and also his ability and patience to explain it to his client (my self), who was totally ignorant of that system. Because of that, we gradually started to work as a team, which contributed greatly to the success of the case. I owe great deal of gratitude to Mr. Bounds as I see my daughter growing up showing unmistakable qualities of a future solid member of the society. I consider Mr. Bounds a friend and would recommend him any day without reservation.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
