Professional approach, personal service and reasonable rates

I recently engaged Blair to represent me in a request to modify my time-share plan and child support obligation. Blair thoroughly researched my case and provided thoughtful guidance on how to navigate the issues and reach a desired conclusion. We came thoroughly prepared to my mediation and ultimat...ely reached resolution with my ex-wife on several of the key concerns that caused me to initiation the motion in the first place. Blair and his colleague Stephanie were always reachable, were timely in their communication and provided a level of "bedside manner" that you won't find from an attorney in a larger practice. I think Blair's hourly rates and billing practices are extremely fair and would highly recommend them for various family law issues.

Posted by anonymous | November 16, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Uncontested Divorce

Uncontested Divorce/MSA

Blair's approach is very straight forward. I retained him for an uncontested divorce. He was very responsive and knowledgable about the specific questions I had. I got the sense early on that Blair was very honest and straight forward, and his approach made me feel like we were sticking to the issues... which helped us avoid increased costs. The resulting MSA he crafted was prepared in 48 hours and contained provisions I hadn't even thought about such as tax implications of alimony etc. His office is incredibly responsive from start to finish-same day. His assistant as well is very detailed and professional, she even provided my info on where to park for the final hearing. I was very pleased with the representation I received for the duration of my case. Blair's office made an unpleasant situation tolerable.
