Child Custody Case

My daughter and I hired Mr Compan before our consultation was even over. With the fear of loosing my grandchildren, her children. We went into Mr Compans office like two little kittens with our tails between our legs, swollen watery eyes from crying for weeks but let me assure you that when we walk ...out of there we both for the first time in weeks had smiles on our faces. He blew us away with his knowledge. Making no promises but paiting a accurate picture of what was to come. He was amazing through the entire process and we won !! He is a absolute godsend. If I ever need someone to legally back me in my fight he will be the first person I call. I could not give a higher recommendation.

Amazing Lawyer! Extremely knowledgeable*

I hired Mr. Compan for my child custody/support case. He was exactly what I was looking for when I was searching for a lawyer, as he is extremely knowledgeable and caring but a shark in court when he needed to be! We got exactly what we wanted in court and he explained everything to me from the star...t of how we should go about everything to get the end results that we got. He truly helped me and my children in a way I can never thank him enough for! I will Hire him for any and all court matters from now on. I can’t say it enough, he is amazing!!! Thank you Mr. Compan for your help!!

Child custody case

We can't say enough how wonderful an attorney and human being Mr. Compan is! He knows so many people in the judicial system and has a stellar reputation. He is highly respected and, from the way he managed our case, it was easy to see why. He was always on top of it and explained things every step of... the way. He is organized, meticulous, knowledgable, and his instincts are spot on. Just that would earn him 5 stars, but on top of it, he is one of the kindest people we've ever met! He genuinely cares for his clients and gets to know them personally. You're not just a dollar sign to him. He fought for our family the way anyone would for their own relative. We highly recommend Mr. Compan!

Child custody recovery

He was recommended to us by a court translator who know him since he was a judge. We had te opportunity to meet this great human, kind and extraordinary lawyer that took prompt care of the case with excellent results. I'm so grateful with him.

Superb Service....

Words don't describe how wonderful this man is. Mr. Compan has so many people that know him in our Clark County judicial system that you would think he was Governor. He represented my son in an extremely sensitive case and it resulted in a dismissal. He followed our case from the court room to his pr...obation officer, and then back to the courtroom for dismissal. I would refer Mr. Compan to everybody. He returns every call and is extremely thorough.
