Custody help.

James Giries helped me win the custody of my 2 kids,he accomplished everything he proposed when i walked into his office .He was very good at noticing that my personal life was not very good at the moment and gave me therapy to help me get through one of the toughest moments of my life.I would highly... recommend James Giries to any one fighting for custody of their kids especially men because it seems that us men have things against us when it comes to custody battles.

Five Stars for this Man!!!

James Giries helped me keep my children from a bad situation. I approached James around November of 2012 about my children's visitation with their father declining at a steady rate. He was just going down a road that was very impressionable to the children and I didn't want them in that environment. ... James made sure to keep me informed at all times of the case and what was happening. He even made sure I had a copy of everything once it was received in his office. He was very organized and made sure I understood all the facts of the case before going to the next step. He was clear and concise with each move that we could make. He was a little slow on getting me the bill for his services, but that allowed me time to get the money together too. James was able to get the court to order my children's father to go to counseling, go to rehab, and limited the visitation, even made it supervised. He did an amazing job of making sure that my children were taken care of. That is what is most important to me in the whole world and he understood that. I know that next time I need some legal advise or help, James will be the one I call. I have already referred him to my friends in need. James Giries was a wonderful attorney in my case. I couldn't have asked for a better man with great like-minded values.

Finally someone that cares!

My divorce was tough. Mr. Giries helped me get through issues with my children and my ex's affairs. He made sure that I got full custody of the kids while my ex was not allowed to have overnight visitors or introduce the kids to all his women. Mr. Giries was kind and listened to my problems when my e...x would not follow the temporary orders and even made sure his attorney knew that he was messing up. Which made my ex look more like a fool. If you are looking for an attorney that cares, call Mr. Giries. He was so helpful, kind and made sure I got my kids when they needed me the most.
