Posted by anonymous | January 10, 2013 | Child Support

Great attorney for custody, child support, and definitely for single moms!

Let me preface this by saying when I started my case it was pro-bono. I was a single working mother and received no child support so I either had to go it alone or keep searching for someone that was fair and affordable. That being said - I found Brian after MONTHS of searching and talking to atto...rneys that gave me an immediate quote, demanded a retainer, and wanted me to come in to their office for a face to face for a consulation fee, without even hearing any details of my case. Brian returned my call, listened to every detail of my case, asked questions, wanted to get all the facts, and gave me advice on my case. He did a THOROUGH phone consultation and didn't ask for a dime. He makes sure he knows what he is up against, and informs you of the route he will take - and the good thing about it is HE FOLLOWS THROUGH WITH EVERYTHING HE SAYS. He has an amazing assistant. I have come to love her to death over these last few months (and her dog too). They are an amazing team. One thing I can say for certain is that they treat your case as if it was their own battle. And not for any monetary gain - because they actually care. When we had a meeting to Brian to prep me for mediation, I was nearly convinced that my daughter was his child LOL. He definitely is a caring attorney. Very straightforward, honest, persistent, and will fight for you tooth and nail. This was everything I wanted when it came to my custody case because this was my child on the line. Any real parent will fight with every ounce of strength and give every dollar to keep their child safe. Luckily he didn't require me to give every dollar I had and made sure he and Michelle worked with me on my budget. My daughters dad over the years happened to become an abusive, drug dealing, gang affiliated street punk. We got away luckily. Brian has helped me to ensure my daughters safety as well as my own. He and his assistant Michelle, were not only my representation, but also became a friend to vent to, and great counselors. You could call any attorney in the yellow pages and end up paying for consultation, retainers, unncessary costs, being charged for every second you have contact with their office, and sucked dry by someone who sees you as nothing but a source of income for their next suit and tie. OR you can call Brian to take on your case as his own and take a load of stress off of your back and get the job done correctly. He doesn't make promises he can't keep and he will be up front and prepare you on what to expect. I highly recommend him whether it is for child support, custody, divorce, if you are a single mom, or if you are on a budget. I was able to afford him and he worked out a payment arrangement with me so that I had my payments made by the time the next hearing rolled around rather than having to pay it all up front. I was billed for actual WORK that they did and not sucked dry like I've seen other attorneys do in the past. He truely was a blessing. Trust me you wont regret it. I highly recommend him and have referred coworkers as well as people that I meet in court as I wait for my hearing. Brian was able to get me everything I asked for and keep me calm and strong through the process, while keeping my goal of my daughters safety and well-being at the forefront of this case. I was able to get full custody (legal and physical) with supervised visits for my daughter at a professional facility, and only contact through emails so that i wouldn't be subjected to any more abuse. While all cases are different and will have different outcomes, I don't think I would have been as successful without his help and I probably would have given up if I didn't have him and Michelle there to keep me strong and get me through it.
