Couldn't have asked for a better lawyer

I have been employed in the legal field for almost 4 years. During this time, I have had the opportunity to see many lawyers at work. Sadly, many lawyers simply do the bare minimum to satisfy agreements, and move cases along. Often, this practice results in the client's best interests coming second t...o the attorney's. Terryn Bennett is not one of these lawyers. She is the best there is at what she does. When I found myself served with divorce papers by a tenacious lawyer on behalf of my then-wife, requesting sole parental authority and only offering weekend visits with our two minor children, I called Ms. Bennett based on the recommendation of a highly experienced local defense attorney. Ms. Bennett took the time to understand my predicament. While I was in a position that likely looked dire from a passing glance, Ms. Bennett spent hours discussing my present situation and the events leading up to it, reviewing related documents, and developing strong legal theories. Many of my friends told me to pray for the best, but prepare for the worst. But from the beginning, Ms. Bennett appeared to be someone who was not like most attorneys. She took the time to see who I was, and how much my children meant to me, and I to them. My divorce not only went to trial, but included the recusal of two judges, expert examinations and testimony, multiple hearings and 4+ days of trial litigation. This was not your average divorce. It was complicated, took time and energy, and most importantly, required experience, creativity, and wisdom to prevail. And that is what Terryn Bennett provides as a lawyer. As a result of her hard work and wise counsel, the truth prevailed and the judge granted exactly what I was asking for: 50/50 shared parental responsibility. The matter was not won easily, but thanks to Ms. Bennett, I enjoy the blessing of actively parenting my two children. When it comes to representation for divorce and custody disputes, there is Terryn Bennett, and then there everyone else.
