Robert L Barrasso

Mr. Barrasso was retained for child custody. Bob listens very carefully to exactly what you tell him. He in return wants you to be specific with answers to his questions. Bob is quick to cut you off if he believes you are getting off course with the specifics of your case. This may turn someone off i...f they think their attorney is cutting them off during discussions. Remember that most every time you speak with your attorney, it is costing you money. Bob purposely keeps conversation specific so the facts are discussed, and your money is best spent helping your case. My case involved a mother who was doing as she pleased, and was not the least bit interested in father/child relations. Basically she wanted as much child support as she could get, and to do as she pleased raisng our child. Painfully I bided my time until I believed I had enough evidence to go after her for change of custody. My childs mother wasn't a drunken, drug using, or physically abusive parent. Mom was an arrogant, self centered person who made poor choices that created an unstable environment for our child. She believed she could never lose custody no matter what. Well in many cases she was right. Generally speaking moms have primary custody and the courts give them many chances to correct mistakes. This is exactly why I knew I needed an excellent attorney like Bob to fight for both me and my child. Bob always encourages both parents to try and be civilized, communicate, and discuss the key issues related to raising their children. Bob is a proven trial lawyer who is not affraid to go to trial if nessesary. My case ended up going to trial. Bob and his staff made me feel at ease with the entire process, start to finish. At trial, Bob performed exactly as I would expect of an excellent trial attorney. He was extremely well prepared for my trial. He was relentless when it came to exposing the facts of my case, and cross examination of witnesses. Going to trial is a very stressful experience, and is never guaranteed as far as the outcome. Bob never gave me false assurances as to a guaranteed outcome of my case. Bob always explained what he believed the realistic chances were for a positive outcome. I am happy to say that Bob helped me win my case, and gain primary custody of my child. Dads getting custody of their children is still pretty rare in this day and age. Bob's professional and efficient work ethic helped to keep the overall cost reasonable, and far less than what I thought it might cost. Bob has a reputation as a fathers rights attorney, but the fact is that he represents either party for what he believes is in the best interest of the child. I cant say enough about the pleasant experience I have had since retaining Bob as my family law attorney.
