I hired Mr Godley after a few recommendations and reading reviews. I did not have a positive experience. Mr Godley was not aware we had a motion to modify custody when we went to court and the results for my family are devastating. i would not recommend Mr Godley
We never like to make mistakes. We had a calendaring issue but tried this case effectively. In these days of equal parenting time, any result of the other side getting far less than 50% is considered a very good result. We do disagree about your interpretation of the outcome of your hearing and are very sorry you were displeased.

Suffice it to say that Mike is that rare combination of intellect and compassion -and that puts his clients in the best of hands. I can't say enough good things about him!"
"Mr. Godley is undoubtedly the best in his field.
