Peter Garin is an ineffective Child and Family Investigator (CFI) with an aggressive and abusive investigation style. He was court-appointed and began by interviewing my son. The initial meeting was marked by aggressive and abusive questioning. My son and his now ex-wife struggled to agree on parenting issues. Mr. Garin failed to ask probing questions, resorting instead to general inquiries. Each of his interviews lasted between 8 to 25 minutes, while he conducted a lengthy interview with the other party that lasted over 2 hours. He visited our home for only 10 minutes and then left.

Peter Garin is a terrible CFI with an aggressive and abusive investigation style. Although, I was the person who hired him, he spoke to the other party first. Instead of speaking to me about my concerns, my first meeting with him was an aggressive, abusive interrogation where he threatened me with jail time. My 13 year old son had been refusing to engage in parenting time with his father, Mr. Garin immediately blamed me and dismissed my son's mental health records and his therapist's reports of PTSD. When interviewing my son, Mr. Garin told him "it's OK for people to drink and drive as long as they are not under the influence" although we had a specific court order to not consume alcohol during parenting time. My son's father has had open containers of alcohol in his vehicle multiple times with the children in the car. Mr. Garin ignored the alcohol abuse, ignored the mental health aspect of our case, vilified my son's safe parent in his report and never investigated in a neutral way. When I checked his report for bias, using chat GPT, the entire section interviewing myself and my contacts were biased negatively and the entire section interviewing the other party and his contacts were biased positively. I do not recommend him if you are looking for a true unbiased investigation.

Had a wonderful consultation that explained everything we needed to know to get the process started and where to go from here. Thank you, Christian Frank!

Professionalism and patience is what one should look for in a lawyer and with USADefend Law Firm you will find it. We contacted Christian M. Frank Fas, Esq. thru a recommendation and were not disappointed in the results. Working through the process of a change of citizenship status is not an easy job and it takes a lot of paperwork and back and forth. Thankfully, me and my wife were explained the process not once, but all the times we had to re-ask the same questions with months in-between. It is a long process, but thanks to the professionalism of Christian M. Frank Fas, Esq. we were lead thru it with certainty in that the correct paperwork was submitted.

This attorney and his firm have such a wide array of knowledge on so many areas (crypto, investments, immigration, etc.) that it is hard to find a better firm for anyone looking for an investment visa to the US.

Christian M. Frank personalmente es un abogado íntegro, confiable, con mucho conocimiento, sincero y directo. Gracias a él y su trabajo hemos conseguido nuestro propósito. Lo recomiendo a ojos cerrados.

Christian is an amazing professional who listens to you and addresses your concerns with professionalism and courtesy. The communication channel for the online meeting is also extremely simple and effective (no multiple steps to log in like other apps require, which is a big plus for non tech people).

Awesome!!

Everything went very well. Christian was always in touch and answered all our questions. Outcome is positive. Thank you.

Peter did a great job with my case. When we first met, he did a thorough job of gathering details, and walking me through both the legal and relational processes required from beginning to end. He and his team ensured that I received all case related communications and allowed me to define the amount of communication I needed to remain comfortable throughout the entire process. His team helped me to keep legal costs down by providing the information I needed directedly, even when I was stressed and could have easily used additional time digging for more detail should they not have proactively provided it to me. During the case, Peter had the foresight to schedule court conferences that didn't appear to me at the time that we would use. That leverage of experience saved me thousands of dollars and provided situational legal relief when we utilized that time with the court. Peter demonstrates his understanding of law and did a highly competent job using that knowledge to help me in my case. Each of the court documents Peter wrote for my case advocated for my family and my needs. I am very happy I hired Peter.
