Posted by Nguyen | May 01, 2013 | Alimony

Divorced and happy client

I was recently involved in a horrible divorce from wife of over 20 years. Even though we had no children under 18 and my wife had been earning more money than I was she was still asking the Court to order me to pay alimony which I couldn't afford. I spoke with some lawyers who all said I had a good c...ase but they also said theyd need $2500 dollars to fight it. I was referred to Mr. Leftwich from a friend of mine who had his bankruptcy done by Mr. Leftwich. Mr. Leftwich told me he thought that there was a good chance the court would refuse to grant my wife alimoney since she was better prepared to support herself than I was. He took my case on a very minimum fee. Then he was able to negotiate with my wife's attorney to bring the case to end without even going back to court. She dropped her demand for alimony and the judge granted the divorce without any further hearings. Some of my other friends ended up paying 10 or 20 thousands of dollars in there divorce cases so I was very happy with the service I was provided by Mr. Leftwich.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Charles for over 10 years and he is an excellent attorney that takes good care of his clients. In many cases, especially with bankruptcy work, the difference between a good lawyer and a bad one is how well the lawyer handles his client's non-legal concerns. Charles not only knows the law, he knows how to guide his clients through the often emotional process of filing bankruptcy."
