Posted by anonymous | April 13, 2014 | Child Custody

pauls a damn good lawyer and i would recommend him to anyone

Paul knows his stuff I am currently battling for joint physical custody of my daughter and everything is working out beautifully. The judge did not like the hours I was working so Paul says you know joint physical custody does not have to be based on how many overnights per year you have your child i...f you can go on 3rd shift I can get you your daughter every day of the week. Low and behold I get on third shift and the court order state that me and the mother are supposed to use each other in lieu of a third party care provider. Well needless to say beyond my daughter being in pre k 5 days a week her mother had her daycare 5 days a week so now everything is working out extremely well and I can clearly see what is going to happen. Wilnese my daughters mother is extremely mad to the point were she is breaking the court order and not using me in lieu of a 3rd party care provider so naturally the judge is mad and its looking like I'm am absolutely getting joint physical custody 50/50 so if your asking if Paul is a good attorney yea id say he is a great attorney and I would recommend him to anyone.
