Absolutely Amazing Custody Attorney

My divorce was finalized years ago through another attorney, but I continued to have issues with my narcissist ex not paying child support and taking me back to court repeatedly over custody. I consulted with Ms. Dell a couple of times before I finally hired her, and I wish I had hired her sooner! ...She was excellent in the courtroom, provided me with realistic advice and expectations, and got me everything I wanted. I have had another family law attorney, consulted with a lot of attorneys, work for attorneys, and have just had to deal with attorneys a lot in general. Justine Dell is the BEST and I would not recommend anyone else.

Concise attorney

Justine and her team are experts in the field. She is respected within the court room by opposing counsel, minors counsel, and every one in between. She is thorough, gives sound advice, and advocates for her clients while still maintaining an eye for the opportunity to reach a fair agreement with the... opposing side. Justine is a committed advocate for her clients and their children while staying ethical, trustworthy, and hardworking. Despite the difficult times, my heart and mind were at peace with her representation.

Excellent advocacy and representation

Ms. Dell provided excellent representation for me in my custody case. She understood that I was not looking to divorce my husband but needed to focus on custody of our children. Ms. Dell not only respected exactly what I wanted but advocated diligently for the best interests of my children in a way... that did not unnecessarily antagonize the opposing party, helping me to achieve a result that the children and I could live with. She understands that you don’t have to be a bulldog in court to get the best results. I was impressed by her calm demeanor and commanding presence which made her extremely effective in court and in negotiating with opposing counsel. Ms. Dell was exactly the kind of lawyer that I needed, someone who gave me a voice but without making an already difficult situation more antagonistic or difficult. I am very thankful to have found her.

Awesome attorney!!!

I can't say enough great things about Justine. I decided to represent myself and ended up loosing custody of my kids due to not following the judges orders. Justine came up with a plan of attack and was able to get my kids back. I not only got them back but got full custody. She is an extremely hard ...working mom who selflessly have up time with her own daughter to help me. She has made a name for herself because of her hard work and dedication. I would never recommend anyone else!! She ROCKS!

Extremely Honest and Ethical!!!!

I hired Justine to help me out with issues I was having with back owed child support, current child support and child custody issues. Justine and her staff were very professional. Justine took the time to explain things to me. She let me know my options and guided me through them. The outcome of my c...ase was better than I expected!! I was able to gain partial custody of my son and all of the back child support and current child support issues were resolved. Thanks to Justine I can live again!

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
