Professional and Knowledgeable

At the corner of professionalism and knowledge, you'll find London's office. She took over my case, communicated very well, and guided me through the process. She knows the law and rules very well. London always conducts herself in a professional way. I would recommend London to anyone going though f...amily legal troubles. 10/10 would recommend.

Modification Parent Plan

I began working with London at their previous firm and decided to follow them. My situation was rather difficult as my case became a cross State, I'm in Washington and I had to move my case to Multnomah County, Oregon. I had an estranged relationship with my 2 children. Limited time, no phone calls ...or overnights. It was my dream to have more time with them. London became that person I could confide in and helped me learn the justice system. It wasn't easy, many challenges ahead. London learned my background and got to know all parties involved. It took some time to get what I had hoped for. No relationship will ever be perfect. But London helped some of the gap. My kids and I are in a better place today. London also understood my kids language and that made a huge difference. London helped me learn. I strongly recommend London. Just remembering what we went through and feelings of giving up. London reminded me there is hope at the end. Thank you London, I'm forever grateful.

Knowledgable, compassionate, and empathetic

I was a nervous anxious wreck when I decided to seek a divorce, thinking about all the many ways things could wrong. After meeting with London, I felt better. London's calm, knowledgeable, no-nonsense manner of explaining the process of what to potentially expect helped me look at things in a more cl...ear way. Everyone on the team was very communicative and helpful whenever I had any questions or concerns. I highly recommend London and wouldn't hesitate to retain her services if the need arises.

A Light of Hope

Divorce has been the most difficult and painful experience of my life. London was a light through all of the transition. She listened, navigated, negotiated with integrity and care. Her expertise and clarity supported the choices I needed to make as I was in repair of a transitioning life. Prior t...o meeting London I did not feel safe, knowledgeable, or supported in the judiciary system . I was scared. The thoughts of not being able to protect my 7 year old daughter kept me up at night. The anxiety was impacting every aspect of my life. London is a person who can hear your concern and directly address it. Her responses were immediate and thoughtful as I felt she respected the urgency of what I was moving through. London and her team know multiple ways of moving through a situation. I appreciated her honesty, understanding, and offering of choices. London advocated for a plan that worked for everyone. Her advocacy has given my family a sense of restoration, reciprocity, and hope.
