Eva Wyndolyn Slaey Tameling

Eva Tameling was my second attorney that I used during my custody battle for my 14 yr. old daughter. I am certain, that, if I had Eva from the beginning, things would have turned out in my favor. However, my first attorney convinced me that I needed to enter an Agreed Order in this matter, unless I ...could pay him the balance that I owed him (6,500.00) and give him a retainer of $10,000.00-$15,000.00. I felt backed into a corner with no other options. Previously, this first attorney was not returning my calls, emails,or text messages. I was trying to get counsel from him for weeks before my case came up for a status hearing. He kept telling me that I needed to hammer out an Agreed Order with my ex-husband(whom I couldn't come to any agreement with him). That day in court was the worst day of my life because I agreed to give up my child with no time to process what was going into that order. I went to see Eva Tameling to see if there was some way to get out of the Agreed Order and start over again. She was beyond wonderful and helpful in every way. She always returned my calls and emails. She sent me copies of what happened at every hearing. The weekend before we were going to have our hearing, she called me and discussed things with me. She also asked if I could meet with her on Sunday to strategize. Who ever consults with their client on a Sunday? She was the best attorney I have ever worked with. When if comes to the custody of our children, we need a dedicated, knowledgeable and compassionate attorney. Eva Tameling is worth every penny of her fee, in gold!

Now divorced, dealing with post-decree issues of many sorts, I have struggled with a good number of attorneys that literally "go through the motions" dragging out the case in hopes of a settlement. Eva is anything but one of them. She is clear minded and very hard working. She understood my case in t...he course of a week-end (prior to engagement!) and laid out a strategy that worked. She understands the family law court system, what works, what doesn't work and affectively applied the law in a way that had the other side assigning within 3 weeks for a settlement of a case other attorneys made no progress with in 2 1/2 years. Most importantly, this accomplishment was achieved with good old fashioned hard work, and ethics of the highest level--not by bullying or unreasonable tactics. These same ethical standards apply to her billing practices as well. I highly recommend Eva Tameling if you are ready for a hard working, intelligent lawyer that as honest with her fees as she is in handling your case.
