At the time it looked bleak, but today I have sole custody of BOTH daughters and I owe it all to him. James is incredibly professional, but also very kind and patient. I will admit, initially I was worried that his mannerisms would be a downfall (I thought I needed a shark) but I am happy to admit I was wrong. James may not be loud and in your face, but his legal know-how and calm demeanor is actually his biggest strengths. He knows what advice to offer and in a courtroom setting he knows when to object and what to say without being off-putting to the judge.

I will be eternally grateful for everything he has done for my family.
