Caring, attentive and supportive mixed with the voracity you'd hope for when fighting for your future

When I came to Nancy I was already many months into my divorce process. In fact, I had less than a month before my court date. Nancy took me on and immediately got to work. She got up to speed quicker than I could have hoped for and gave me the first feeling of hope I had felt since the process began.... I truly felt like a priority. In preparation for trial, Nancy and I had great communication. I worked two jobs and had my children often; Nancy was always willing and able to work around my schedule. Thanks to Nancy I felt confident going into trial. Her presence in the courtroom was superb, providing me with great confidence in her abilities. I cannot adequately articulate the appreciation and respect I have for Nancy and what she does. I’ve already referred her to others and will continue to do so going forward.

Unwed Dad fighting for Shared Parenting

I was referred to Nancy by a friend who’d retained her previously for a divorce/custody issue. Let me just start by saying Nancy changed my life. I come from a childhood where for a large portion I was a ward of the state. Multiple group homes and foster homes throughout my childhood and I experience...d more wretched things then any child should ever go through. Having survived that life and making it into adulthood I always vowed to be the best parent possible if I ever got the chance. In 2017 I got that chance. My son was born and I was ecstatic raising him. For almost two years me and my then split girlfriend co-parented amicably without any formal court order and everything was great. Going into his 3rd year of life the relationship with myself and his mom deteriorated and I started getting to see him less and less. Until eventually several months went by with only being able to see him for hours at a time. I felt defeated. Hearing how dads are generally treated in courts I was petrified. Theres nothing unfit about my sons mother, but also nothing unfit about me. Nancy understood that. Hell she further ingrained that into me. A father provides an aspect in a child’s life, and importance, that can’t be replicated. Both father and mother are equally important. So I hired Nancy for my son as much as I did me. She fought for every single word in my shared parenting agreement, literally. She Would stay up on the phone with me past midnight discussing my case. She answered questions, gave me direction and then followed up on results. She made it possible for me to open presents with my son on Christmas, to trick or treat with him on Halloween. Several days ago I was awarded shared parenting of my little boy. None of it, not the extra time I got in the beginning of the court saga, the holiday time, the end results, would have happened if not for Nancy. From the bottom of my heart, Thank You Nancy. As I write this review my sons asleep in the other room. There toys spread all over my floor, his half eaten snack is on the table, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. ❤️

Always There When I Need Help

In 2014, with Nancy’s help, I was granted custody of my two kids. Nancy worked tirelessly on my case for years, as it is a particularly hard slog for fathers in the state of Ohio. I was extremely lucky to have found such a knowledgeable attorney to take my case back then. Anyway, the reason I am revi...ewing her now is because this past weekend, six years later, I found out I needed some very important old paperwork from my court case. Thankfully, I still had Nancy’s cell phone number. So, I called her hoping that she could help me. She picked right up, on a Sunday afternoon, and in less than 24 hours she was able to get me the paperwork I needed. She never asked for a penny for her time either. That is the kind of lawyer and person she is. I saw the one-star review left in January by an anonymous reviewer. That review doesn’t make sense and certainly doesn’t reflect what I and my family have seen. Nancy’s communication has always been second to none. She gives her cell phone number to all her clients, so I can’t imagine that anyone actually trying to reach her wouldn’t be able to. She always gave it to me straight about what to expect when I went into court (even when it wasn’t what I wanted to hear), and she never came underprepared. My kids live under my roof because of her counsel and they are thriving. If I had to do it all over again, I’d go straight back to her office.

Not what I thought she would be

When we fist met she sold her self to me. So I did what I could to get the money to pay for her. Art first things were great. I would provide her information and she would respond in a timely manner. There was a period where I went almost 4 months with out hearing form her. I would send emails asking... for updates on the case and provide more information to her I went over 110 days with no calls, no text messages or emails. She later in front of my wife disrespected me her client. Then in am email insulted me. She never believed me. Yes I did get a majority of my money back but what she did was uncalled for. She seamed not to really care much about my case. She could not remember important things that I told her. Very unprepared. her folder for my case was thin. My binder was 20 times thicker and with all kinds of paperwork. Things I provided to her. Nancy is a good attorney she just needs to start listening and believing in her clients.

Divorce

Nancy was indeed very direct and advised me not to let my emotions take over in meetings with ex, attorneys or in court. This was some of the best advice for my situation at the time. As you know, divorce is an emotional situation, in which, it was my first time, and Nancy was very calming and repr...esented my children's best interest 100% and also my best interest. I would recommend Nancy to anyone that needs one of the best, direct divorce attorneys in the Cincinnati area.
