Posted by anonymous | July 09, 2015 | Child Custody

I thought he did everything he could

This child custody case was a nightmare but later we found out that he could have made more about certain tricks that the other side played to make the court more productive and fair but when the money ran out, you know the story. I Guess Fairness AND Justice Is A NICE Fairy tale . I guess I would r...ecommend this Lawyer if you have the money and a case that you have both sides playing fair.
