Child custody and access cases can be difficult for parents as well as the children. Unfortunately, kids sometimes get stuck in the middle of the parents’ conflicts.

TESTIMONIAL


Brenda and her staff are the most professional and patient individuals I've worked with. I fired my previous lawyer and waited a few months for her to take on my case and I'm glad I she did. Brenda was honest, up front, and always available.  I would recommend her to anyone who need a really good family lawyer.
