child support/ child custody

I was used Ms. . Checki for my child support / child custody case . She was helped me through a rough time I was going through . She was thoughtful ,understanding ,patient ,and kind . She helped me understand everything that was going on step by step . I was never left out the loop . I am very tha...nkful for her.

Posted by Amanda | July 14, 2014 | Child Support

A difficult situation made easier:

I retained Lauren's services for a child support/custody issue I was having with my son's father. Over the years we have gone back and forth to court several times and have never been able to come to amicable agreements. Lauren was kind, patient, and knowledgeable in our situation. She took the tim...e to work with me on stressful and difficult issues, and used her knowledge to successfully negotiate several important points in our case. Thanks to her, we now have an agreement everyone can live with. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
