Posted by Suzanne | February 03, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Such an amazing yet very caring attorney

This man is an amazing lawyer....he was actually appointed Guardian ad litem for our children in 2007 after DSS had falsely removed them from our home. They were in foster care, staying with an Aunt for 7 days...the longest 7 days of our lives. We didn't know what to expect but after hearing him tell... the judge that he thought DSS had "jumped the gun on our case" after speaking with our children, whom were all honor students, with lots of extra curricular activities, well dressed, well behaved, and good mannered. He said your honor....that's a sign of good parenting! These children have nothing but respect for not only their parents but God and mankind in general. They are NOT the typical people we see up here everyday. They are college educated and live by a modest income with out spoiling their children but instead showing them that it IS possible to have nice things but you have to be willing to work hard as well! So, the oldest a 14 year old girl is already preparing academically for medical school, the oldest boy being 13, is so fascinated by weather and how it works and is created, that he study's it daily and gives a better weather forecasting than the 6:00 news. The husband works everyday outside the home and the wife has always been a stay at home mother, where not only has she lead the 2 older children in the way of their own success but also they have a 10 year old son that was born disabled with mental and physical limitations, yet he is in a classroom setting with kids his own age and she is his biggest fan, pushing him to succeed. Then they have this tiny little 9 month old baby that will melt ya away with her smile and because of parental devotion and instruction was able to talk to me in a manner that you would have thought she was at least 2 and a half years of age. I just think if the court would start prosecuting the angry DSS callers who call for jealousy, revenge, or just plain meaness would have to come in, in person and file a complaint under oath with the threat of perjury and slander, maybe...just maybe good people just living life wouldn't ever have to know what this whole situation feels like. I Love Hugh O' Donnell and thank you for everything! Oh and mind you to whomever reads this...he was appointed to the kids!!! But he said he figured the best way to represent them was to make sure they went HOME, which is what they wanted and deserved! Thanks again Mr. O' Donnell
