What Our Clients Are Saying


“Thank you seems inadequate for all that you have done to support, encourage, educate, and fight for me this year. I knew the first hour I met you that you were the attorney I wanted. What I didn’t know was that you were also the attorney I needed. You’ve held my hand and guided me through the most traumatic time in my life. And in trial, you fought for both me and my children. Last night, I tucked my children back into their own beds, secure that they aren’t being uprooted again. That security is because of you. I also experienced so much healing yesterday. I realized that regardless of my ex’s lies, I can move on. I was surprisingly unaffected by his antics, emotions, and targeted anger at me. I am no longer afraid of him. You probably knew you could fight my case but I doubt you knew that you would also be an empowering part of my healing journey. You’re more than my attorney, you’re my friend. I will be forever grateful for God bringing you into my life.”
