Posted by Santiago Prats | July 31, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

Full custody case

I meet Tom after a brief conversation over the phone asking for a free consultation. We met and he was always extremely professional from the start. He asked very specific details of my situation. He made sure that all my questions were answered and he also told me the proccess and what my expectatio...ns should be. The mother of my baby was heavily involved in drugs. To a point that she became a danger to herself and others. This case Tom told me it was time sensitive as she can file on he own and hurt the baby. Everything fell into place after our meeting. The process seem simple and stress free thanks to Tom. From showing up to my order of protection hearing to the default hearing Tom was there with all files ready to go. Tom attention to detail and asking the right questions won me my dauthger and maybe without exaggerating even her well being.
