Yes, sometimes we are presented with a difficult opponent, in our divorce cases. However, we never let them distract from our representation of our clients, and our ability to achieve the goals and requested outcomes, as requested by the clients. By just keeping our focus, we were able to close your case with an extremely beneficial result, as it related to both financial issues and child related issue. Best of luck in the future. Karen

Joel: We are honored to be able to continue to represent you in your custody and timesharing matters. You are correct, in that we do take a more practical approach and adjust our strategies based upon the specific facts and circumstances of each case. We understand the importance and gravity of our work in dealing with child related issues, and we always try to be both professional and business-like, while at the same time expressing compassion and concern for our clients and their families. The best interest of the child is always our main objective, as is protecting the custodial rights of the parent. Thank you for your kind words.
