After meeting with several other lawyers, I choose to have Renee help me with my family court case. She is very prompt returning my emails, even on a holiday when an issue arose w/ my Ex. I greatly appreciate all she has done to advise me. She is sincere, and willing to help, in any way she can.
I live in Franklin County Ohio, but have a FOC case in Kent County MI. My son's father has made my life a living hell since moving away. He's now interested in seeing our son since I moved to get a job and provide a life for us,w hen he refused to help when we lived in the same county. My experience dealing with the referee and jusge assigned to us on my own has been the worst. They have been rude and down right disrespectful to me in court, geranting him everythting that he request and even requiring me to travel with my son for his father's visits.
i spent a whole month intermittently looking for a lawyer that a) I could afford b)would be willing to work a long distance case c) just listen to me.
i sent my information to Renee's website and she promptly reponded. She spoke to me regarding my case and even went so far as to go to the court and pull our file and review it, and contact me again to tell me if she could help me. All of that before she asked for any retainer. Once we decided to work together, she made it so easy. She has been prompt with responding to my emails (even on the weekends) and she has kept me up to date on everything. im so truly thankful to have found her and she has been a joy to work with.

Honest and Professional
I would highly recommend Renee to anyone who needs representation. She does an amazing job and is helpful and honest. I can not thank her enough for all of her hard work and advice that she has given me even after helping me with my divorce case.

Honest and Comapssionate
Renee was amazing! I found her through all her good reviews, and she handled my interstate case with ease. She gave me an honest opinion even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear which was important to me. We won my custody case, and I will ALWAYS call Renee should any issues arise. If you are looking for an honest, compassionate, fair and knowledgeable lawyer Renee should be your first choice.

Very helpful
I spoke to Renee about a CPS allegation. We were clueless as to how to handle it. She gave us advice over the phone and didn't push for services that she could bill. She advised us on how to handle the first interview and what our rights and options are at this stage.

"I recently had the opportunity to work with Renee in a child custody dispute. She demonstrated an extensive knowledge of the law and her client's position, but did not let that get in the way of getting the matter resolved to benefit all of the parties - and especially the parties' child. I appreciated her willingness to work quickly and efficiently."
