Posted by John | March 15, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Excellent Attorney

Kevin Cecil represented me in a highly contentious divorce case including both custody and financial issues. Having taken on this case from another firm, by which I was poorly represented, Kevin successfully navigated the issues with professionalism and compassion. Throughout the process, he convey...ed a calming sense of confidence that was very reassuring. I feel Kevin genuinely cared for our family, listened to my concerns and worked reduce contention in the process and reach an equitable agreement. I am in a much better position now, having had Kevin’s representation.

Posted by anonymous | March 20, 2013 | Child Custody

Excellent legal mind plus the compassion to deal with the complexities of custody disputes

Kevin picked up a highly-contentious custody battle which had already been going on for over two years with no father or paternal family contact allowed. As a parent to young children, he understood the emotional tie and the devastation that comes from forced separation of parent and child. He was ...able to filter through the waves of anger, grief, and sadness I was feeling to present the legal arguments for a child's inherent right to a relationship with both parents. He kept me up to date on every change in the case, and his support staff was just as professional, considerate, and I eventually felt they were personally invovled in seeing that my children and I finally got some hint of justice and healing that had been missing for so long. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
