Posted by Trena | August 27, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Guardianship

Guardianship

I highly recommend Cecil and Cecil Law Firm. Mr. Cecil and his staff were dedicated to handling a difficult Guardianship. They’re conscientious, caring and sincere concern of my two at risk grandchildren took the burden of stress off of our family and made the whole process stress free. They... were able to keep the cost within their retainer. His office was able to avoid conflict with all involved. They handled the parents with respect and dignity and that truly is a gift with the type of case that we had. I was awarded permanent Guardianship until age 18. Both of my grand kids are thriving now. Not all cases are the same and some take a long time. I was lucky enough to have a competent attorney and his amazing Paralegal, Cathy who completed the Guardianship in less than six months. I cannot thank them enough! We appreciate all their hard work and dedication to our case. They are a tribute to their profession.
