Reduced our anxiety a huge amount!

My wife and I met with Asa to review my previous divorce decree, custody arrangement, and parenting plan. Asa calmly walked us through some options and plans for moving forward, and helped us to understand language that was included. He explained things in bite-sized chunks and helped us reduce anx...iety about moving forward with attempting additional visitation time. I'm looking forward to working more with Asa!

You can trust this attorney

Asa represented me in a Third-Party Custody case for my child. This case involved detailed case law and a complicated case history. Throughout the years, I had retained several attorneys for this case and I became familiar with the process of investing a lot of hope and a lot of money, only to someti...mes end up feeling "stuck" and worried throughout the proceedings. Attorneys in family law often deal with the lives and futures of their clients' loved ones and Asa seems to have a genuine respect for this. I believe Asa has a great passion for law, (as does his legal assistant too!), and is in the best possible field for his character. Asa has a noticeably strong confidence, yet is very personable and down-to-earth. Asa's in-court presence is sharp and friendly, his preparedness for our hearing was (literally) remarkable and his arguments were really well articulated and strong. Outside of court, all calls and emails were always returned the same day or early the next morning. Asa answered questions quickly and he was very patient and easy to talk with. Asa was completely on top of the case, and that was such a relief after years of worry before him! Asa is just simply a very good attorney.

Honest Hard Worker

Asa represented myself and daughter in a major modification of a parenting plan. He was straight forward & honest through out the entire process. After watching many lawyers in court, I consider myself lucky to have had him represent me. His communication is excellent and clear. Highly recommended. ...

He gave me hope

I am so greatful that Asa took my case to help me through a difficult divorce. My child's wellbeing was a great concern to me but as I met with Asa he gave me hope. There is no one I would want or trust more to help me walk through this very difficult time in my life. His kindness and compassion has ...been amazing! He took the time to break down each element of what I needed to understand and gave me the best choices that would benefit me best. Asa is someone you can trust! If you are in need of a exceptional attorney that is also kind and compassionate I couldn't recommend him more.

He cared

He wasn't just doing his job. He was really on our side and really cared. I had to put a restraining order on someone. Although I did not "need" a lawyer, we still wanted to make sure it was done right. At one point I was in tears do to the upcoming hearing, I don't do well with stress, and he took m...y call and told me what he felt. And possible outcomes. He was available when we needed him and a true pleasure to work with.
