Restraining order & child custody

Although I was only seeking modification for my child’s health related issues , The monster of her dad , who I have been mentally & physically abused by in the past ,& till today came foward full throttle this time , because I chose to get the BEST LAWYER in Fresno ca . I have been dealing with this ...custody for over 2 years now the worse of the worse has happened , to the point were I’ was even arrested put in jail , when I had a restraining order in affect & the party was violating this . John Brekus & karen his assistant backed me up 1,000 percent and went hard through out all my long Court dates & multiplie 2 sometimes 3 day triles . I kept my child at full custody this entire time because my lawyer knew I was innisont and faught tooth and nail for me . John brekus Knows the LAW LIKE NO OTHER lawyer in Fresno county & trust me when I say this wasn’t the first time my ex and I have went to Court & I have legal representation in the past ! I was referred to John brekus by another great lawyer , who told me he’s not been in Fresno County long but is THAT good of a family law lawyer . So I took my chances met with him and Karen , saw not allot of reviews on line , because he’s originally not from here . The best descion I’ve ever made . My daughters dad is a perfect example of a man who is a suit and tie plays the system kind of man abuser . I uncovered with my lawyer things i would of brought up to the judge that didn’t matter , until I hired John brekus . WHen the law is the law , these judges need to reminded . Not only that , because I’n the end we got a fair judge , the issues is have the right representation means the most ! I know every family lawyer in Fresno ca , not joking and now criminal also & Trust me this lawyer is good !
