Morna Gale Challoner

Morna and Tina . . . To make a long story short, I do not recommend their services. I hired Morna to help me with a Child Support agreement. At first they did appear to take my case seriously and presented a potential really good outcome in my favor. Soon after, they reneged and stated I had lit...tle chance to win a favorable judgement. In the end, my support increased, nothing ended up in my favor. I paid nearly $10k for Morna and Tina to do basic calculations, send a few emails and fill out a few forms. Hard lesson learned here.

I want to start by saying that if you need to find a lawyer, I'm sorry for your situation. I never thought I would need a lawyer. I told myself I just wouldn't put myself in that situation. However, shortly after the birth of my baby, I found myself in the place of desperately needing to find a lawy...er. The journey of a divorce and a custody battle has, by far, been the most difficult thing I have ever gone through in my life. Morna Challoner was recommended to me by a family friend. When I met Morna for the first time, I told her what was going on in my life and she immediately outlined for me how she would proceed and what her plan would be if I decided to use her services. Instantly I was relieved and the frightening and confusing cloud of pressure felt not so heavy over me. I had been overwhelmed by all the paperwork and information – not knowing where to start. When I knew that Morna would take care of all that, I was able to focus completely on my newborn baby and just getting through one day at a time. I chose to use Morna Challoner as my lawyer because she was recommended by a friend and I connected with her easily when I first met her. Over time, she has proven to be professional and kind. She never promised me anything or told me what I wanted to hear, she simply told me the truth of my situation and what she has seen in her experience. Throughout all of the processes and procedures that have come along with court, I found that Morna has a great reputation in the court system. Others in the field respect her. Morna is the first person I update on any of life's challenges or changes. Her consistency has helped me to focus on the bigger picture and move forward past this horrible experience. I believe this to be true because she never promoted false expectations and helped me realize how it is good for me to find and start a new life and focus on giving my child the best life despite the challenges we face. Financially, the decision to engage an attorney may be an expensive one and may seem like an unnecessary investment at first thought. In retrospect, the money that I have paid Morna has been well worth it. As I look back on my relationship with Morna as my attorney, I wouldn't change one thing. I feel that my money has been well spent and I don't wish back one dime. My child is the most important thing in my life and I want to give my child the best life that I can. Since my experience is so limited in this extremely sensitive situation (divorce and custody arrangements), I just tread lightly and let the expert do her job in advising me on my journey. I would highly recommend Morna Challoner for anyone who needs a family law lawyer.
