James Durrell Padgitt III

I hired J Durrell Padgitt III as a family Arttoney to handle my case of Petition for Termination and Adoption of Stepchild. James handled this brief as a seasoned professional. All the required legal procedure were fully followed and respected with no time lost. The end results was Positive. His pers...onal legal advise and guide to me during the process were very much appreciated, which more so contributed to the overall result. At the end, he got the Surrogate Relationship Terminated and went on to also obtain the Adoption of the child by his stepmother with all relevant documents changed in favour of the stepmother, I thank James so much for a job very well done and promise to recommend him to anybody requiring the services of a family Attorney.

J is the entire package: sensitive, thorough, dedicated, informative, direct and respectful. J assisted me in navigating and understanding my rights. This balanced , knowledge based approach bolstered my confidence (that was shaken) and provided the level of support that I needed during this difficu...lt, dynamic time. J is an consummate professional and directed guide, whom I highly recommend.

I started using J back in 1998 for a divorce case. Since, I have used him in 2009 for a child support modification and most recently in 2012 for a Child Custody case that FINALLY just finished after a year and a half! He not only is excellent and knowledgeable at what he does, he is also very promp...t at it. He is also very sharp and I definitely wouldn't want to be the one against him in a case. I've seen it first hand! One of his best attributes is he definitely stirs you in the right direction. He is sensitive to your feelings but at the same time will be brutally honest which has definitely been a God send for me, especially being a woman. I definitely would refer him to anyone!

After 22 years my marriage went south. I approached my lawyer for advice who referred me to J. As a business owner, I have been in plenty of legal tussles. For this matter, I wanted a highly professional adviser to help me through the process. I didn't need much hand holding on the financial issues,... just guidance on the legalities of divorce. I could not have asked for a better counselor than J. He gave me an overview of the process, stuck by me throughout, listened when needed and gave really sound advice. Cost was an issue for me and J was very efficient, understanding and accommodating. Though I sincerely hope I never go through another divorce, if i did, i wouldn't use anyone else. Divorce is a trying experience. One that makes you doubt many of the beliefs that you hold dear. J was a rock through the process.
