Termination/Adoption

You hope to never need an attorney, but circumstances may present themselves that require legal assistance. I requested Mr. Pearson's services a little over year ago concerning a termination of parental right and stepparent adoption. I had been to court twice prior and had spent over $7500. The f...irst time I ran out of money without a resolution, the second I spent $2500 for one phone call and an attorney that did not come to court. I was very unsatisfied with my prior experiences and nervous about taking this on, but for the well being of my child, my husband and I did. From the moment I interacted with this firm I was amazed and it stayed that way. I requested and received an appointment within two days through this website. The office is easy to locate and very comfortable. Josh spent over an hour with my husband and I. He was an astute listener, we were not rushed, and afterwards I was calm. We left that day knowing that nothing was guaranteed, that the road was long, but that there was hope. We had not had that for a long time. If you sit down with Mr. Pearson you can be rest assured he will deliver an honest interpretation of the situation as you present it and that he will exceed your expectations. The termination took the longest and due to the increase in business over the year I was represented in court by Mr. Pearson, Mr. Miller, and Irena (a newly hired attorney). Everyone was well prepared and even though they were not all with us from the beginning, each attorney was knowledgeable about the case. I would recommend any of the three. I would also like to mention that most of my correspondence through email and even the phone was through a paralegal, Mandy, who was immediate in answering calls and email. She contacted me a number of times throughout the case to make sure I was getting what I needed. For instance, in the beginning we were asked whether we desired a name change. At the time my child did not want this. We were asked again when the termination was completed and again said no. The day the adoption files were to be submitted she asked again and again I said no. This time my child changed mind and I had to ask if she could change the forms that were already filled out. It was done without a problem even though we had been asked three times. This is the kind of personal attention the entire firm gives out. The retainer was reasonable, covered the entire year, and we received a substantial refund. Overall this firm goes above and beyond any expectation I could have.

Highly recommened

My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Mr. Pearson on our adoption. This was a very exciting but sometimes scary process and he constantly helped calm my nerves. Mr. Pearson is very knowledgeable and was always prompt replying to my emails or returning a phone call. He never hesitat...ed to go above and beyond for my family. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for professional, trustworthy lawyer.
