Divorce. Child Support. Custody

During our initial consultation Mr. Fortune had me believing he cared about my case. Once I paid it was a different story. When we went to court he was not aggressive at all, nor did he even bother to give any effort. He did not care the outcome of child support, custody or if I got anything from the... divorce. He would hang up on me and was extremely rude during phone conversations. I would steer clear.

Trustworthy

I read a review of Mr. Fortune and was surprised by the poor response. I have hired Mr. Fortune several times over many years. I feel he is my go to lawyer. He has helped me with power of attorney, a divorce. parent rights dealing with custody, accident that resulted in suing for damages. I would pla...ce my trust in him on any subject. He does not take or give BS and has been a strong representative in court. He has always treated me with respect and expects the same from you. We would not always agree, but that is life. You pay a lawyer for his knowledge of the law, how to apply it. It is difficult to find a good attorney who will represent you well. Jim Fortune is that attorney.
