Javier Armando Bastidas

This is my lawyer. He has worked for me for the past two years, free of charge, as part of the Sgt. Shriver Custody Project at the Justice and Diversity Center. My ex had a team of lawyers, advocates, and a support system that caused me to nearly give up on ever having a relationship with my young ...children. His wise counsel made sure we didn't get nasty over trivial pleadings from the other side, we avoided name calling, and handle the situation with dignity and respect. So often things can't be taken back in the egregiously adversarial process, where winning at any price is often the goal of attorneys, but not Javier. Whose broad shoulders bear the brunt of numerous insidious attacks. His patience never wore thin, and ultimately we are winning. I get to spend precious time with my kids and the hurt feelings of my ex have subsided. Javier Bastidas is a long game player who never loses focus on the end zone, no matter how far away it seems.
