Long distance child custody representation

Great communication and outstanding representation. Kept me informed of all changes and updates with case. The case and representation itself was complicated, being that the divorce was in TN, I currently live in FL and ex-wife had the kids in AK. Ultimately everything worked out. Legal fees did cons...iderably rack up but she did put a lot of time and effort into case over the weeks/months, so nothing that was unexpected. Only issue I had was in court. I realize lawyers have to work with each other frequently and probably have some sort of professional relationship, but there comes a time to take the gloves off and be aggressive. I felt she could have been a little more aggressive, but maybe I’m wrong. She did help me regain custody so it all worked out. She would definitely be my first call if I need legal assistance in the future.

I agree with the previous post.

I defiantly agree with the previous post. I was not able to continue with my legal matters because I could not afford another large sum of money. I ended up having to settle the matter before even going to trial. The process was months in the making and drained thousands of dollars from my savings an...d retirement. I also did not feel like I hired an attorney that was fighting for me concerning my legal issues. Instead I was subject to someone who accepted every delay proposed to her without consulting with me at all. I would recommend you seek out legal assistance from someone else.

Please disregard this review! It is factually incorrect and dishonest. I represented the client competently and as economically as possible. The case was resolved in less than a year despite having difficult child custody issues and an opposing party who created a lot of issues that created more work in the case than anticipated. In spite of that, I actually prepared the case for trial but the parties reached a voluntary settlement agreement through attorneys to their satisfaction and trial was not required. There were no unnecessary delays in this case. The client was not overcharged.

Professional Legal Services

I am a man who just went through a divorce as the defendant in the case. When my wife sought legal and physical custody of our three children, I needed a professional divorce exert with experience. I needed an attorney I could trust to represent me and protect my rights as father for my children. I w...as fortunate to hire Dorothea Aguero to help me win shared custody so that my children would have a dad in the town where we live. Dorothea worked diligently on my case. She told me what to expect and prepared legal documents for the judge to sign. Her knowledge of the law, divorce procedures, and advice to me was crucial. I worked hard to provide her with the information that she needed to work into evidence for our case and legal documents that she prepared. Dorothea achieve a win for me, actually for my children. The shared custody result was achieved because Dorothea walked into court prepared with a notebook full of exhibits (documents as evidence) and a list of questions to ask me and my ex. She respected me as a client. She and I communicated well before and during the two-day court trial. She listened to my points of view, my ideas for evidence, and incorporated my documents into her presentation during trial. Dorothea told me that half of her clients are men. I am one of those men who can say that she helped me achieve a custody victory and a low monthly child support payment. Now my kids get to have a full-time dad in my town. My ex-wife did not get to take my kids away to another state.

Divorce

I was very happy with all the help given to me by Dorothea Aguero and her office staff. I was always updated on what and when things were happening with my case. Billing was sent out on time with cost breakdown very easy to understand. Dorothea Aguero or her office staff always returned my calls w...ith answers to any questions that I may have had pertaining to my case. I would be a returning client if I should have need of this type of representation again.
