Dahlicia

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.

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
