I used this firm to represent me for child court hearings and I would highly recommend. I have been let down with lawyers in the past. Whether that be working against my wishes, being spoken to in a terrible manner or non responsive to important queries via email/phone. These lawyers do an amazing job with communication, representing you in court, looking out for the childs best interests and Ive literally been blown away with how great they are with how they word things. Ive always felt confident discussing matters with them as well. They speak to you with respect and dont just treat

Couldnt recommend this firm any more! Simply amazing!

If you require a lawyer to represent you in divorce proceedings, in my opinion based on personal experience avoid this practice at all costs if I could give a minus rating that is exactly what I would do.

Would give zero stars if I could. Probably one of the worst and unprofessional companies I have come across and wish Id never crossed paths with them when representing me as a client. Should have known to avoid with a barge pole from the first letter issued that included typos and a copy paste from one of my emails! Never felt updated on my case, that legal terms were explained and unsupported through my separation. Linda George is a disgraceful company only out to fleece people out of money. Glad we have social media to expose such companies and prevent people like me from making a mistake
