Best Local Divorce/Custody Counsel

Mr. Hulett is the most knowledgeable attorney I have ever known. (And believe me, I should know, I have been employed by attorneys in big law firms my whole career.) But I was at a loss when I needed a lawyer for my divorce and its associated complicated custody issues. I was also intimidated by m...y ex’s counsel and, needess to say, that really undermined my confidence in my case. When I met with Mr. Hulett, I discovered an ethical and moral attorney who keeps his cool -- no matter what the opposition throws his way. He kept me informed of all issues involved in my case, and was responsive to all my additional (sometimes crazy) questions, calls and concerns. I also discovered his legal knowledge is certainly not limited to family difficulties, but fortunately for me, Family Law is his chosen area of expertise. I was realistic enough to know every issue wouldn’t be a win for me, but Mr. Hulett certainly explained beforehand what I could and could not expect to happen. He also realized that my chidren and I were working through a very difficult period in our lives. I feel he truly understands the complex emotions encountered when working through high stress, personal legal matters. All things considered, I will continue to hire Mr. Hulett whenever the need may present itself.

You want this lawyer on YOUR side!!!

Finally a brilliant attorney who doesnt judge, isveasybtonunderstand, and doesnt overcharge ! Eric navigated me through a bad divorce and very complicated custody battle. He always knew what my options were and explained them in a way I could understand, and I knew the cost up front. I switched from... another attorney to Eric and I'm so glad I did
