Father needing help

I was in a situation where the mother of my sons would not let me see them. The only way she would is if it was convenient for her. On holidays she would not let me see them or even weekends. Me and her did not work out and I felt I was being punished for that through my children. I wanted designated... time that was mine to ha e with my sons. Mrs. Zimmerle helped me with obtaining a parenting plan that allows me substantial time with my twin sons. Unwed fathers have absolutely no rights to the children born of that unwed mother. The only thing you are permitted to do is provide monetary benefits to the mother for the children which is wrong. At the end of the day that child will not remember how much money was spent on them neither will they care; but they will remember how much time was spent with them and the quality in that time. I think Mrs. Zimmerle understood that I wanted to be a part of my sons lives and she fought so that I could have that opportunity. She was persistent and you can tell she takes her work serious. She is currently helping me work towards becoming the PRP for my sons. So far it has been a positive experience.

"As her coworker, I may be a bit biased, so please keep that in mind. Nevertheless, I have seen how she deals with clients, with other attorneys, and with the courts. Top notch in every respect."
