Replied last October 26, 2018Thats funny. This guy has a nasty meth problem. He actually wanted me to argue (to the judge) over a flashlight and his dvd movie collection. What a joke. No, what an idiot. Who spends $2000 to fight over a flashlight and DVDs. Yes, I refused to fight over flashlights and DVDs. And, well, as far as losing custody. Put down the meth pipe and stop abusing your kid. And btw, I have never been to Modesto. Get a job. I noticed you posted this at 3:00 a.m. Note to potential clients: if you are a drug addict, do not call me. If you are too stupid to get that you can replace a flashlight and DVDs for $50 but want spend $2000 just to fight....dont call me. And loser, you did not pay me any money. Your meth-memories are inaccurate.
