Very professional and fair attorney

Very pleased with Mrs. Fairell who represented me during a very difficult divorce. Joi is very professional, knowledgeable, empathetic and tough when needed.

Posted by anonymous | November 08, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Participated in Conspiracy and I Lost Custody of my Children

Retained Fairell Firm as my attorney in custody modification. The agreement was to conduct a psychological evaluation. My ex wife actually signed me up to be a patient of a doctor without my knowledge or consent, this doctor used my children and my attorneys to perform exposure therapy on me to treat... a TBI. Fairell Firm learned that I was not conducting an evaluation and indeed participated with my being a patient of the psychologist who was performing exposure therapy on me. I asked repeatedly of what was happening with the evaluation and they would not answer my questions about the evaluation, the process or why it was taking so long because they knew I was indeed a patient. As result of their participation and knowingly concealing it from me, I lost custody of my children. I do not recommend this firm as they are not honest with their clients and are willing to participate in conspiracies to commit crimes.

We at The Fairell Firm hate that you feel this way but we understand that mental illness is real and requires treatment and medication. You never had custody of your children because of your mental health outbursts and we took your case believing your version of events. Unfortunately, those issues started revealing themselves more and more in your behavior and outbursts. The courts brought in a psychologist to confirm and explain some of your actions. We always stand on the standard of what is in the best interest of the children. What is best for you and your children is that you accept the professional help that has been offered to you time and time again. We wish you nothing but love and healing. Once you accept that, you will be on the right track to be in the lives of your children.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
