Candace saved my daughter

I was a month away from DCFS terminating my parental rights. I completed everything ordered by the judge. No failed UA's. Candace took on my case, and fought a system that isn't designed to win, regardless having a private attorney. She knew the court, the people involved and navigated with knowledge... and patience. Her retainer and fees were fair. She was patient with my payments. Her assistant Brandy was also wonderful and helpful. All calls were always returned timely and she always came to court prepared and informed. My case was an usually difficult; group homes, mental wards, ICPC, a newborn, choosing to stay married, a jaded social worker, extended past the 24 month time limit, just to name a few hurdles. Candace saved our lives; I thank her and ONLY recommend her.

Job well done!!

I hired Candace to help me with my custody battle. Not only did she handle my case in a timely and professional manner...we WON! I can honestly say I was nervous being that I’m the father in the case and he lived with his mother, “usually” the “system” favors the mother. Not in my case! Candace was s...traight forward and presented the fatcs which helped us prevail! I would definitely recommend her with all of your family law needs. Thanks Candace!!

Helped us win placement for our great niece

Going through a state adoption process can be especially difficult. Candace was top-notch. Caring, kind, intelligent. She helped me navigate juvenile court and with her amazing help we were able to speedily win placement of our great niece. I highly recommend Ms. Jones for all your litigation need...s. Thank you Ms. Jones, you are a G-dsend! Sincerely, A. McAdams

Child Custody

Mrs. Jones came highly recommended by two colleagues. She provided limited scope services for my child custody trial. We met initialy via tele-conference. During this meeting, it allowed me to provide some background history and context. We then met for an hour as Mrs. Jones prepared a draft of my r...esponsive declaration. We met a week later for a coaching session. During this hour, we discussed my desired outcome and the goals I wanted to set. We debriefed strategic action and appropriate steps. I left the meeting having done some deep thinking and with action items to undertake which prepared me to represent myself Pro se in my trial. Thanks to Mrs. Jones, at the end of the trial, the respondent’s request to modify custody and visitation was denied. I will be eternally grateful to Mrs. Jones and would recommend her services without hesitation.
