Outstanding in all respects
In my search for a reputable law firm to handle my child custody case, I explored my options until I found the Matt Capstraw at the Marks Law Firm. Matt has, through my experience, proven to be compassionate, understanding and patient during the long term process. His legal knowledge and unflappable demeanor far surpassed even my highest expectations, and I found that I could count on him to be a trusted adviser.
