Black mom / white dad that said it’s a white man world

I hired her for my custody case with my ex husband. She did nothing for me. I found out she knew his lawyer. We had a videoconference with him,but before we got on she told me that we wasn’t going to win and we should come back at it. After the video call I lost my kids and she sent me an email sayin...g she was dropping me as a client. My mom was there with me. My girls got taken away for no reason at all. Now my girls are with him and the 16 yr old always cry and call me about him . She never evaluated the situation at all now my kids are suffering and I don’t want to pull them from there friends because that what there worried about. She is a really bad lawyer. I got rail roded in Franklin Wisconsin.

She will go the extra mile

I just want to point out a couple of things regarding Mrs. Pulley. I have a very interesting case going on regarding custody that has had a lot of things happen. 1st of all, if you want someone who’s going to pay attention to you and tell you the truth as long as you’re upfront about your situati...on, this is the attorney to have. Crystal is very passionate about what she does and definitely does her research. Let me reiterate, she does her RESEARCH. I wasn’t paid to do this. I wasn’t asked to do this. This is just my experience with her as we navigate through my custody case. 2nd of all, any small changes within your case, she’s on top of it and will let you know. Regardless of the outcome of my case, I feel so comfortable dealing with Mrs. Pulley knowing that she’s putting her best foot forward to achieve a good resolution. I would personally highly recommend her for whatever custody issues you may be dealing with.

Highly recommend

I am a father of two children. I retained Ms. Pulley because my ex-wife was falsely accusing me of being behind in child support and I was being denied the visitation rights that had been ordered by the court in my divorce decree. I was afraid of pursuing this matter in court because I feel that some...times the courts may look upon the mother more favorably than the father. However, Crystal worked extremely hard on my case. Not only was she efficient, but she always remained professional no matter what the situation and she was good at explaining the various areas of the law that I didn't understand. In the end, she helped me resolve my case better than I could have ever dreamed I would be able to. I highly recommend her to anyone.

Affordable and Thorough

I hired Mrs. Pulley to assist with my child custody case and modification of child support. This was the third time I have been to court for this. This was the first time that Mrs. Pulley represented me and I am pleased because she was very informative and very thorough. I felt that she left no stone... unturned and was very satisfied with her representation.

Caring hard working intelligent

As a father trying to provide a better environment and guidance to his daughter I was already at a disadvantage just for being a male in the state of IN. However after meeting with Crystal and seeing her preparation for our case I knew I at least had a shot to win. She is easy to reach through all li...nes of communication and returns any missed calls promptly. She kept me and my wife in the loop at all times and never once made me feel insignificant or that any question/concern was irrelevant. I have used multiple other lawyers through the years to help me try to provide a better life for my daughter and Crystal by far has exceeded them all. She is very reasonably priced and uses a detailed system showing everything. So there are no questions or hidden fees. I have never had a lawyer be so prepared and ready to go for a hearing like Crystal was. I was very appreciative of her thoroughness and the amount of evidence she had prepared for the courts. She made the opposing lawyer look like an idiot and unprepared. Although my case continues Crystal is still hard at work for me. Mind you the case continues due to a poor Judge not wanting to make a decision in the middle of the school year even though the evidence was overwhelming for a change and a guardian ad leitem reports favored us and recommended a change. Just goes to show you the problems in this so called legal system of ours! But even through all of that Crystal still continues to impress and work hard for us. Honestly we feel very blessed to have Crystal as our lawyer and we have no regrets!
