Kids are first with her!

I’ve read opinions & opposing ideas on here. I’m not surprised bc if you’re in a court appointed parenting position you’re already dealing in a power struggle. Tahra is focused on the kids because it’s her job. She knows that they will grow up to make their own relationship & decisions. Children are...n’t “owned” by you, their individuals developing to adults. As divorced/separated parents our job s/be to focus on agree of core values allow & flexibility of exploration & experience, vs. controlling. Otherwise you teach the kids triangulation & cause further anxiety to the with division. What she says is-it’s time to be grown-up!

She considers the child first.

I was assigned Tahra Sinks about 3 years ago by the court due to ongoing court battle with my ex over a period of a decade. She started both of us with a clean slate in regard to my son. Time proved out the problems I had with my ex's care of my son were legitimate and ongoing. Tahra advocated for my... son's best interest. We are hopeful for his future thanks to her.

Formidable Lawyer

I and my six siblings were represented by Tahra. A court case that had lasted years and years and a battle of custody between parents. When we first met Tahra, she was assertive and straight to the point, she knew what to do. I cannot stress enough, she knows what she’s doing. Tahra was BEYOND compas...sionate to my siblings and I. during the trial for custody she fought to make sure my dog could come with me into the courtroom, and made sure I wasn’t hassled by anyone. During the trial, Tahra was a shark, she quickly found the lies my father had said, and defended me like no other. When asked to testify, Tahra was incredibly patient and even more understanding of how difficult it was. Tahra sees right through lies and manipulation and can find the truth with ease. You cannot fool her, Tahra knows what she’s doing and when you’re her client, she will fight like hell to defend you and make sure you’re heard. We couldn’t of gone with a better lawyer.
