50/50 time sharing custody case

I was suddenly faced with one of the hardest situations as a mother, my ex-husband filed a petition for 50/50 time-sharing with our soon to be 14 years old twin daughters. This was shocking to me because he has not consistently followed the visitation schedule since our divorce in 2014. For over a de...cade, he has only been in and out of the girl’s lives when it suited him, never offering them emotional stability or building a meaningful relationship. In my search for an attorney, I came across Attorney Hamil-Scott and from the very first call, I knew she was the one I wanted by my side. When I left a message with her assistant, she returned my call within a reasonable time and we set up an appointment. When she greeted me at the office, she was very welcoming, and her voice was calm, compassionate, and reassuring, exactly what I needed in that emotional moment. I was crying, overwhelmed, and desperate for someone to fight for my girls. Attorney Hamil-Scott listened to me patiently, explained the realities of Florida law (that both parents are generally entitled to 50/50), but also assured me that based on the facts of my case, she would fight for what was in the best interest of the girls. Attorney Hamil-Scott is not only warm and approachable, but she is also direct, knowledgeable, and incredibly skilled. She gave me confidence when I had none. She always responded in a timely manner and made me feel heard and supported throughout the process. When we went to mediation, Attorney Hamil-Scott delivered exactly what I hoped for and more. She brought in an excellent mediator (awesome guy) who truly understood my concerns and the girls need. Instead of handing over 50/50 custody to a father who had not been consistently involved, the mediator supported by Attorney Hamil-Scott strong representation, recommended that the father first complete six months of therapy with the girls so he can at least form a bond with the girls. Both party agreed ( conflict solved) to which made the outcome fair, reasonable, and most importantly, supported the best interest of the girls. I walked into mediation anxious, but I walked out smiling, relieved, and grateful. Attorney Nichole Hamil-Scott is intelligent, confident, compassionate, and truly cares about her clients and their families. On top of all that, her fees are reasonable, and her results speak for themselves. If you are looking for an attorney who will fight for you while also giving you honesty, compassion, and strength during one of the hardest times of your life, look no further than Attorney Hamil-Scott at The Hamil-Scott Law Firm. She is absolutely amazing!
