Will ruin your child’s life

Literally ruins peoples lives . Allowed his client to get away with moving child to another state with zero accountability . It’s literally a part of the rules to stay in the same state . Unbelievable !

Family Law

For father’s right not a good attorney. Does not pay attention to detail. Does not thoroughly review your evidence. Would rather you settle for something you don’t want than to fight in court for what you need. Misplaced documents that took a hour to complete and he took a hour to try a find it very ...unorganized. One person office with a paralegal. Was told unlikely I would receive 50-50 judgement Withdrew him from my case. Hired new attorney and received 50-50 child custody and almost no cs. Would not recommend if your a father and need a family law lawyer fighting for your rights. You get what you pay for

Totally satisfied

I was seeking a lawyer through my medical insurance hotline. They were able to get in touch with Darren, who offered me a discount based on using this hotline. I wanted my children to come live with me after being divorced for 6 years. I was unfamiliar with the legal system, and how this would all... work, but Darren was able to walk me through the process. It was a big step for me, and my children, and I needed someone who was willing to do what it takes for the sake of my family. There were times when there was very little movement on my case, but I knew Darren and his team were working diligently in our favor. Darren guided me through each step, and yes it was expensive and slow, but the goal was for the children and you can't put a price on that. Throughout the process Darren would call and make recommendations to me on next steps. Although small, they went a long way to help get to the finish line. I could not have asked for a better result in my case. I would recommend Darren to anyone that is in my situation I was in. It is not a pleasant process. Anything that involves the hearts of children will never be when it comes to courts. Darren understands this, and wants what's best for everyone.

Divorcing with Children

Fortunately I heard about Darren from an acquaintance with his ability to handle simple to complex cases in the court room. Unfortunately my case was not the simple one, but Darren does everything and then some to ensure things remain fair and equitable, especially where kids are the ultimate focus o...f the concern. Darren is very empathetic, fair, and has a vast amount of experience that has saved me time and money. I really hope I never have to see Darren again(attorney related), however I am always glad he is there when I need a hard working professional at my side. :-) I would recommend Darren to any loved one's found in similar shoes.

Unprofessional & Unhelpful

I was constantly having to call and follow up on my case, and had never been through anything like this so i thought this was the norm. I ended up spending what little savings I had to try and protect my son and then Darren didn't even file the necessary papers to the court so our agreement was nul...l and void, and my son was not protected. All I did, for $2000 was set a strong boundary. After this huge snafu he didn't apologize or try and make it right and didn't even help me plan for what would happen next or put in safe guards for my son and I due to his negligence. I would not recommend him or his services.
