Posted by Chad | March 15, 2011 | Child Custody

Mankato child custody/parenting time attorney

Jon Sarff served as my attorney through a very long and complicated child custody/parenting time case. Mr. Sarff took the time to familiarize himself with all aspects of my case and always made me feel as if he cared as much about the case as I did. He was always responsive to my inquires and kept ...me informed as things came up. He seemed to have a good relationship with the other attorneys involved yet I always felt the best interest of myself and my daughter came before his relationship with other parties. If I ever need an attorney to help with my case again, I will be using Jon Sarff.
