Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer. Paul and I settled an extremely complicated custody matter. We each had particular clients that had their own wants, regarding access to their child. However, working together we were able to put together a fair and equitable settlement that worked for each of our clients.
