Custody Modification

We reached out to Caitlin's office through a referral from an employer EAP program. We were able to set up a consultation with Caitlin within a few days. Caitlin listened to our needs and addressed any concerns we had. She provided us with a timeframe of when she would have the paperwork completed... and well exceeded the deadline established. Caitlin provided excellent communication and service during our custody modification. We will definitely use her in the future if need be and will recommend her to our family and friends.

Excellent!

I don't have enough words to describe how amazing the experience with Caitlin was. She listened with care, and was available during this difficult time. She worked very hard to make sure I received the best outcome. I could not have asked for better services. From the moment I first called until my c...ase was over, I was at ease that I has made the right choice. I will continue to recommend Caitlin to anyone with a family matter issue.

Professionally Courteous

Caitlin helped me understand, and resolve 50 / 50 custody of my son. She explained all the details to me and my ex-girlfriend. I'm confident if I need further counsel I can and will contact Caitlin.

Step parent adoption

Caitlin was really helpful with navigating through the legal system with my step parent adoption. She was on point. She even took time out of her family’s thanksgiving to email me the necessary documents once my ex was ready to sign his part.
