Replied last May 16, 2019Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. Client communication and strong legal representation are of the utmost importance to us. In our combined 30 years of experience, we have learned that no outcome can be guaranteed--including trial length, as often this is in the Judge's discretion. New Direction Family Law utilizes a team approach. Each of our attorney's works closely with their own paralegal, all of which are highly trained and experienced. We take pride in being responsive to our clients--in that if your attorney is not available his/her assigned paralegal will attempt to assist as quickly as possible. If you would like to discuss any questions or concerns further, we invite you to reach out to us directly. Again, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your feedback, as it will help us improve our practice in assisting others needing family law legal services.
