Replied last October 16, 2024Of all the many hundreds of family law cases we have handled over the past three decades, we have yet to accept a case involving a brother and sister who were fighting over custody of their child. I can say that we do, however, approach our cases with "zest". We sincerely wish the very best to you in your role as a Daddy/Uncle even though we did not have the occasion to be involved in your case.
