Run from this man

He was my court appointed Receiver. Designated to protect my house from Foreclosure. So what does he do but SHORT SALE my house for a mere $3000, which is basically the same as foreclose. Does he tell me? No. Did he tell me the house was even sold? No. Did he return my phone calls? No. Did I g...et a dime out of my house that had over 125,000 in equity? No. He force me to use family member as real estate and title and they all received monies from my HOME. This is all truthful and fact.

Best lawyer you can get

I am serious! I have had 4 negative or so so lawyers represent me with my BPD blamer spouses. Mr. Handy nipped it in the bud. My ex had a very seedy lawyer, made horrible untrue statements the right out the gate. Mr Handy will fight for you and challenge the opposing counsel/ he is busy, but compared... to other busy lawyers, he is very good at getting back with you. His paralegal is just as great. If you want compassion but a pit bull in the court- Mr Handy is for you- would recommend to anyone dealing with high-conflict divorce or custody cases!

Brilliant!

I was referred to Mr Handy by a friend who raved about how he handled her case. He is up front, tells the truth, no surprises (except for good ones!) and does not promise anything he can not deliver. Even this who work in other departments in the courthouse commented to me about what a great lawyer a...nd man Mr Handy is. His many years of experience is comforting and his creative thinking keeps you in awe! He is brilliant. He doesn't waste time or money..

Finally Divorced!

Mr. Handy is quite brilliant! I was referred to Mr. Handy by a friend after many months (and many headaches) through the divorce process. Mr. Handy delivered a wonderfully orchestrated divorce decree and was able to work around all of our nuances. It was no doubt a challenge considering our unusual s...ituation. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
