Modification to custody

When I hired Rick, the odds were stacked against me, I had gotten into some really bad habits, and signed conservatorship over to my ex husband and was using drugs. Three years went by and my ex husband refused to even let me talk to my daughter's via telephone. When I decided to get clean, my ex hus...band let me have them for a few hours, and they began to tell me all of the horrible things he was doing, I decided not to let them go back. A few days thereafter the constable showed up to get them with a writ of attachment as well as a lawsuit, they were trying to throw the book at me. I had 2 weeks to come up with an attorney, or face up to 2 years in jail as well as paying a lump sum of fees and 10 years probation. I had no money, I literally felt hopeless. I was then referred to Rick. Seeing as how I was still unable to pass a drug screen, Rick had his work cut out for him. He was able to work with me on my payments. We went to court and both my ex husband and I had to drug test, we both failed. At that point the court issued temporary custody to his mother. My ex husband never completed anything the judge ordered and eventually stopped showing up to court. I then had to fight his mother for custody. Rick was always there to guide me through every step of this process. He was amazing in the court room, very assertive and knowledgeable. He could tell me exactly what the opposing council and judge were going to throw at me beforehand, thus he kept me prepared. He is also very respected by the judges. I was told by numerous attorneys I had interviewed that the chances of me winning this case were slim to none. Rick was able to not only get me my rights back, but won me full custody. He took me from no contact, to supervised visits, to FULL CUSTODY. I would, and have referred him to many people. He is by far the best attorney I have ever had the privilege of retaining. He doesn't just beat the odds, he conquers them.
