These people are amazing

I'm not one to do reviews, but I just had to take time out to tell everyone about this office. I had spoken with Kara the paralegal about my situation and my court hearing in a week, which isn't enough notice to get much done. She went above and beyond to make sure we were able to proceed and fit me ...into their schedule. She listened to everything I said and gave me so much hope. She made me feel like my past didn't matter, it only molded me into the great mother I've become. Her drive gave me the motivation I needed to turn things around and get the help I have been seeking. In a short amount of time, she did the most . Mr whitehead also made me comfortable knowing that we've got this! Such amazing people! I will forever turn to this office in time of need. Kara and dan are amazing! Thank you KARA FOR THE HOPE AND HELP YOUVE GIVEN ME.

Child Support much too long!

Many thanks to Kara who helped facilitated the termination of child support for me. I lost a lot of sleep worrying about daughter. As a result, I paid child support much longer than I probably should have, since my daughter was 24 years old, with mental disabilities. I paid for the birth of two grand...children, while my daughter was in and out of my ex wife's home. When my daughter got married, my ex-wife wanted me to continue child support to help my daughter and new husband. But I found out that she was not receiving benefits of my payments. Thanks to Daniel Whitehead and especially Kara, this sensitive issue has been resolved.

Attorney that's a man

what can I say about Daniel Whitehead. Very surprising. From Michigan had to go to Indiana for child custody with my son. The day I met Daniel was on a Friday midday. We were looking for a lawyer. He just happened to be in his office. Showed up and regular playing close wasn't supposed to be there. ...But he seen us anyways. And agreed to help us. He also does DUIs family law and personal injuries. A decent and respectable man. Wish it was more than five stars

Family Law

After several months trying to find the right attorney and over eight years of a custody battle and a run in with the court system, we were all becoming discouraged. It wasn’t until recently our daughter found Daniel Whitehead and immediately upon the first meeting with Daniel, it was apparent he wa...s the right choice. Daniels past personal experiences, compassion, dedication, commitment, and professional experience allowed him to relate to our daughters circumstances and needs. Already he has taken action towards resolving the issues in a quick and efficient manner. We are so every grateful for Daniel Whitehead. Brenda
