Excellent attorney

I fired my first attorney, afterwords I did extensive research. I'm very fortunate Regina represented me in my daughter's custody battle. Her experience, organization & presentation show the reason she is a super lawyer. She was great at keeping me up to date on my case, her skill set in the field o...f family law is extensive. I highly recommend her for fathers that need a lawyer that fights for father's rights. Thanks Regina.

Thank Goodness that is finished

Divorce is never a wonderful experience but Regina and her team took care of business. They were aware of my needs, were intimately knowledgable about the laws, rules of the courts, and the tendancies of the judges and courts in my county. I had several occasions where I needed to call on them for ...what I perceived as emergencies. They were easy to reach and responded quickly to those events. They were always prepared for court and asked all of the right questions. If there is anything I could say about what they could do better on, it would be that I was always wondering what I needed to do to assist with my case. I have a difficult time sitting and waiting so homework, even if it was for down the road would have made me feel like I was contributing. I would use Regina and her team again without a second thought.

She is a bulldog!

I do not for one second regret hiring this lady for my custody case. My ex is a bitter woman who used the kids as a pawn and got away with it for YEARS. My first lawyer didn't have a clue was parental alienation was, so I knew I had to get someone else. Not only had Regina dealt with nuts like my ...ex before, but had done it in front of the judge assigned to my case! Long story short, she kicked butt. The judge even made a point to say how organized and knowledgeable she ALWAYS was when she went to court. The judge didn't say anything like that to my ex's attorney - ha! Yes, she does take 1-2 days to return emails sometimes, but I always get a thoughtful response. I saw the review where the guy complained she didn't return emails. She does return emails, but not within 10 minutes. She also doesn't give her cell phone number to clients. I was a little offended at first, but I understand that she needs a break from the clients mess sometimes, so she prefers email. Overall, I would recommend her to anybody. I got joint custody of my kids when everyone told me that was not possible.

Love her!

She is not for everybody. She can be a bit brusque, but she knows her stuff. I suspect she gets so many complaints because she doesn't bullshit you. I was offended when she told me what I was doing to hurt my case, but I eventually listened, and she was right. At the trial, the judge even mention...ed something that I had done at Regina's advice really changed the case for him. If you want a coddler who will charge you a bunch of money and do whatever you say, call someone else.
