So Far So Good

Though we are just now starting the whole client attorney relationship, I must say I am happy with his responsiveness and knowledge about issues with my case thus far. He answers my calls and returns them as well. I like his approach to the family law thing, not wanting to punish the other party but ...make it fair. I like that. I like that he is a straight from the hip type of fellow and is not afraid to confront the other party. He does not come across as shy or easily intimidated in the courtroom when representing his client. This is my observation of him working with another client. So far, so good. I am happy. Fighting horrible minor's counsel who has other party's best interest, not child's. He seems to be excellent for the job being that cases dealing with MC are a bit of a challenge when having to confront them. Judge automaticly conditioned to go with MC and before looking at all facts in their face. I have seen other lawyers run with their tails tucked in after the hearing when MC is involved. Not this guy. He fights back.
