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!!

Good lawyer, great person.

I hired Mr. Compan to assist me in a child custody matter. I got the result I wanted in court. I believe my attorney was more than competent. However what astonished me was that I believe he cared about my case and put the needs of my Son first.

What a great lawyer. What a nice man

I consulted Mr. Compan about a child custody matter. He met with me for close to an hour. He made 2 phone calls and the whole thing was resolved. He did all this after he told me that I did not need to hire a lawyer. He refused to bill me. He really went out of his way to help me even though I am not... important. I am nobody.

Posted by Shanna Hess | April 25, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Was the best lawyer for the case.

He knows that these processes are not easy to go through and he made it all as easy as possible. Our case was done quickly due to the urgency of the matter and the outcome was exactly what we had wanted since being fair was not an option to the other party. I would recommend him to anyone I know goin...g through child custody, divorce, and even CPS. Thank you for all that you did for us in this time.
