Replied last March 29, 2026Ashley: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience — it truly means a great deal to me and to everyone at our firm. Navigating a child custody jurisdiction dispute from across state lines is incredibly stressful, and I am so glad we were able to get your case resolved before it ever reached the courtroom. What you described, feeling heard, never rushed, and always kept in the loop, is exactly how every client deserves to be treated, especially in matters as personal and important as the welfare of your child. I'll make sure Jeremy and Jill see your kind words as well; they are a vital part of everything we do here. I wish you and your son all the very best going forward. If you ever need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out. — Russell G. Marlowe Law Firm of Russell G. Marlowe, P.A. | New Port Richey, Florida
