Doug helped guide me through a very complicated custody battle against one of the big family law firms with both honesty and knowledge, and did it with the utmost efficiency and organization. I found myself in a situation where my x-partner unfortunately wasn’t willing to share 50-50 custody, as I had been suggesting to her for years, that we should do. Despite how many times I asked her to mediate with me and avoid court, and quickly try and put our focus and energy back on our children, she simply wanted to again and again drive toward litigation. Douglas was beyond crucial in knowing how to respond to this kind of unfortunate predicament.
The custody struggle was much longer than I had anticipated, but Doug explained each step of the process to me and allowed me to present the type of case that both fit my personality, my parenting style and my income. I wanted to both thoughtfully and firmly defend my rights as a parent, while making sure that during our year long trial, we always respected my spouse, never ‘played dirty’ as she always did, and most importantly didn’t do anything which could ever adversely effect our children.
