Posted by Nathan | May 22, 2014 | Child Custody

Child Custody/Parenting Time Modification

According to other attorneys, a complete change in sole-custody is almost unheard of, making my case a lost cause but to Mr. Bedor it was a challenge he was eager to take on. I came to Mr. Bedor wanting to gain sole-custody of my two sons whom my ex-wife had sole-custody of for the previous five year...s while I was out of state for the majority of the time serving in the military. He was very honest with me about what the possible outcomes of each of my desires were, and expressed his professional opinion in a respectful manner. He was very knowledgeable about the detailed process my case had to go through, and was very prompt and firm when responding with the opposing party. He and his staff knew my case very thoroughly and kept in close contact to keep me up to date with each detail. Not only did Mr. Bedor win my case, but he granted my sons their child hood and a hopeful future. Mr. Bedors efforts, simply put, were the miracle that an unpromising situation and innocent children needed. Two years later, I felt the judgment needed to be changed again in the best interest of my sons, and that contempt issues needed to be addressed. Without hesitation I returned to Mr. Bedor for his assistance. Again, he was honest about the possible outcomes of each issue, and immediately started drafting paperwork to start the legal process. Not to my surprise, Mr. Bedor was a true professional both pre-trial and during my trial. He expressed both my concerns and my sons best interests very accurately and did not let the opposing counsel manipulate or construe my case. Yet again Mr. Bedor brought victory to myself and my sons case. The level of expertise Mr. Bedor can offer to your situation, and the results he can get for you and your child/ren is priceless! I have recommended him and will continue to recommend Mr. Bedor in every legal matter both large and small.

This man is phenomenal!

He represented my son when he worked at Hyatt Legal Services many years ago for a criminal case. It was an error in judgement and my son could have faced jail time due to his PTSD after being in the army. I think he is one of the top attorneys in the state. He cares about his clients and is kno...wledgeable and adept at handling each case. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone needing legal council. I'm positive that had we had anyone else representing us, the case would not have turned out as well as it did.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
