Excellent and experienced.

I hired Darin after my ex abandoned our marriage. Darin put me in touch with a private investigator to serve papers to my ex I'd filed seven days after she disappeared. No luck there, the P.I. could not find my ex, thus Darin prepared me for a default case. Lo and behold, my ex surfaced and had a ...process server deliver legal papers to me. I emailed copies of the papers to Darin. We had a meeting where we detailed our response. A dispute resolution conference was set, Darin gave great advice including a settlement proposal. We met with the opposing parties, my ex had hired a lawyer. The conference was a bust since my ex decided to claim a larger settlement, including personal property?! Darin assured me my ex had no valid claim to my personal property since I had gained them before the marriage. Before the next resolution conference my ex upped her claim to approximately $1300/month for four years plus money from my personal property. She'd made unfounded allegations against me. I think she thought the allegations would be taken seriously even though there was no evidence to support her allegations. This is why she was asking for so much money and my personal property. She had been here in the U.S.A. for only two years and left two days after the approval of her ten year spousal green card. An alternate resolution conference was set for April. The opposing council asked for an extension of my settlement proposal for $500 a month for one year and money to pay off the vehicle my ex took when she left. A judge pro tem presided over the alternate resolution conference. He asked questions of Darin, I and the opposing party. The process went well. All the advice given to me by Darin proved invaluable. The judge ended the conference when my ex finally accepted the settlement proposal. At the end I shook Darin's hand for a job well done. The process of my divorce took ten months and attorney's fees but in my opinion was worth it to end a failed marriage.
