Child Support/Alimony

I don't know where to begin, but Ms. Black is awesome in my book. I contacted her many months before I went to court and she stayed on the phone with me seems like forever. Well anyways to fast forward to days before my court date I called her and asked her to come to court with me now remind you I h...ad not talked to her for months after the first conversation. She picks right up and that particular day I had the worst anxiety and I told her I can't do this by myself so I asked her could she go to court with me she came without any hesitation. She walked in that courtroom and did her thing I got a continuance. My court date came Ms. Black walked in that courtroom and made my ex husband look like the liar he has always been, she questioned him in away that I felt sorry for him because she caught him in so many false statements, even the judge was looking at him like why are you lying. To make a long story short she made it happen where I still receive a large portion of my support, she talked to me throughout the day we were in court and reassured me that I was okay and I had nothing to worry about and I won. I would recommend her to anyone people who came on here being negative needs to realize the woman has a life and I am quite sure she has many cases. I would end my review by saying

Thank you Shana!!!

very highly recommend this attorney! She is very knowledgeable and she very quickly spots the weaknesses of the other side (my x!). The judge agreed with everything Ms. Black argued in my divorce, and the other attorney seemed bewildered. She has a great work ethic. She is a hard worker, very honest,... reliable, and a fighter. She kept me informed throughout the case and got me everything she said she would. I am a very pleased client and if I ever need an attorney again, Ms. Black will be the first I call.

Amazing lawyer

Ms. Black got me 50-50 custody of my four year old daughter. I started off with a restraining order against me a year ago. The attorney I had before Mrs.Black told me to forget it, I would never get custody of my daughter. I hired Ms. Black and she fought and got the restraining order dismissed be...cause my wife was lying. Then she got 40% custody for me and now 50%. I would recommend her to anyone.

Excellent Attorney

Due to poor response time and no return phone calls from my previous attorney, I was forced to look for a new lawyer. I was referred to Ms. Black by a friend who advised me to giveher a call. I did and that same day Ms. Black made it a point to see me and resolved my issue- on a weekend, no less! Now... that is great client service! I knew I was in good hands!

Excellent Lawyer

San Diego, CA 5 star rating 2/5/2011 I was a single mom of two, and needed representation on my custody/support/visitation case. Originally sent to DCSS, she was able to get more support, and set a visitation that would be effective for my kids as well as the non-custodial parent. She was very e...fficient, incredibly thorough and knowledgeable on Family Law, and aggressively passionate in the courtroom!
