James Durrell Padgitt III

J. Padgitt was my attorney for my divorce back in 2012 so when the need for a modification to our custody arrangement presented itself, I decided to contact J again. I am 100% delighted that I did because it might be one of the best decisions I have ever made considering the outcome of my case. My ca...se would be considered high conflict. J understood exactly what I needed and could see just how serious the situation was. Over the past year, he has fought our corner for us, and strategized ways to help me stand up to a very difficult and emotionally draining situation. He always had time for us, replied to all questions same day, and provided detailed explanation of the next steps and always discussed potential outcomes with me. This was incredibly important to me because it allowed me to continue to be a mom, to focus on my daughter who really needed me more than ever and also to maintain my performance at work all because I knew I could trust my attorney to stay on top of everything. I will be forever grateful to J for the outcome, I won sole custody, which means my daughter is now safe. Within 2 weeks of our final trial, my daughters grades had increased from C’s and D’s to nearly all A’s, she sleeps through the night and most importantly, she smiles. Custody disputes are painful for everyone involved but the objective has to be to protect the child. That’s what J helped me fight for. I am so pleased to recommend J. Padgitt as a fair, ethical, efficient and highly competent family attorney.

I will be forever grateful to J Padgitt for his counsel during the process of settling my divorce. He has an extraordinary capacity to serve as tenacious advocate and, at the same time, maintain a gentlemanly tone. J is upbeat and positive - even in challenging situations. His calmness helped to diff...use tensions and keep our focus on salient details (instead of unproductive emotions). I also appreciate J's professionalism - his communication, both by phone and email, is timely, clear, and highly effective. J's experience and his demeanor gave me confidence that we'd reach an equitable settlement. I believe that we did achieve the best results possible, and I give J all the credit. I trust J Padgitt implicitly, and I recommend him with highest enthusiasm. He's both a great lawyer and a good man.
