This law office (Especially Rebecca Keller) performed a true miracle for me and my husband. We lost our 24 year old daughter in July 2020. She left behind a 4 year old son. The father had moved away to Colorado about 3 or 4 months before her death and had never been consistent in his life. Their divo...rce was finalized in feb 2020. The child had lived in our home his whole life except for the last 5 months as my daughter had gotten an apartment. I still provided for the child during this time. The father rarely paid child support. In TN grandparents have zero rights but I was determined that I was keeping my grandson! The father came in from Colorado with intentions to take my grandson. The father was served a restraining order so he couldn’t take the child until we went to court. When we went to court Steve put me on the stand and asked very important questions that led to the judge letting me keep temporary custody until a trial date was set. Rebecca drew up papers and had sent to the father. These papers asked questions about proof of employment, proof that he had residency in his name, proof that he had a room, clothes, and toys for the child. Proof of a car seat. It asked about his mental state, if he would do a drug test and etc... I believe this led to the father giving us the grandparents primary custody. I would highly recommend this law firm. They were wonderful and we were very pleased. This was a 5 month ordeal and we were charged one price at the beginning.

I can’t thank Steve and Rebecca enough for what they did for us. Although I did not use Steve for my divorce (I absolutely should have because I overpaid way too much for my divorce lawyer and she wasn’t nearly as confident or experienced) I am so glad I chose him for my termination/adoption/relocati...on case. I had my initial consultation with Steve about possibly changing my current parenting plan but it wasn’t for months later I actually went back to him. When I went back I told him my circumstances about relocating and the lack of support and visitation their bio dad displayed. In my head I wondered about terminating his rights but hadn’t said it yet and Steve put out on the table and I was relieved. From then on it was honestly as smooth as it could be. He offered to let us make payments and he and Rebecca communicated every step of the way. We started with mediation that was not settled and then a court hearing for termination and relocation. The adoption/termination was pushed to a later date because my ex’s mother bought him a lawyer the day before court but our relocation was granted literally right before our military orders said we had to be there. Steve and Rebecca filed motions and worked so hard to make sure we were in court before we had to report to Michigan and it paid off. We truly had the best case scenario happen to us but Steve and Rebecca were not shy of what could happen as well. The were honest with all possible outcomes but were incredibly supportive and optimistic. From our date in August until our adoption hearing in March we have lived in Michigan and you would never know we lived in a different state. I can’t say enough about their communication and availability at any time. I would use them anytime I needed a lawyer if I could. Absolutely the best experience for what started out as bad situation. Thank you Steve and Rebecca!!
