Paul Mengert

Mr. Paul Mengert is a man I will forever be thankful for, he went above & beyond for me, not only in court, but also in spirit. In the begining it was looking like my daughter and I (we had been separated for 13 years & 8 months... not our choice) would have to go through a process of reunification, ...which would take 2-3 months. When we heard that we both broke down. Mr. Mengert saw our emotions & felt our pain and went to the Supreme court and did some research. Court came into session, as my daughter and I sat hand in hand, tears streaming down our faces in fear of what was to come next. Neither of us wanted another second to pass away from each other. When the proceedings were over i turned around to look at my daughters beautiful face and saw the anticipation of the verdict heavily weighing on her. I mouthed "I LOVE YOU" to her, and she mouthed it back. I wasn't really sure what his answer was until Mr. Mengert placed his hand on my left shoulder and smiled. It was then that I knew that my baby girl was coming home... I got up to return to my seat and as I walked away the court room was full of emotions & tears for my daughter and i. Every person was affected by our victory and we have Mr. Mengert to thank for that. We will never forget you! Sending love & prayers from a mom & daughter who can never thank you enough!
