Posted by Bethany & Jake | January 14, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Excellent family law attorney

Jared took over our case half way through the process when our original attorney left the law firm mid case. He was very professional and reassuring, but more importantly, knowledgeable. We were doing a parenting plan modification with a very difficult other party and he handled her wonderfully. I wi...sh we could have used him for the whole process, but unfortunately, the law firm is very strict about not working with payments and needing all the money upfront. So, we had to finish our case without him. Even though this was the case, Jared still offered advice and direction on how to finalize everything on our own so that we feel confident about the process. If we ever need to retain a lawyer again, we will definitely be returning to Jared. My only critique is for the law firm as a whole and one particular paralegal that I was very unhappy with. But Jared was beyond amazing! And the secretary staff was always very friendly and helpful too. Request Jared if you want an intelligent and compassionate attorney who will fight for your case as if it was his own!
