I was extremely fortunate to have found John for my Attorney. His knowledge and experience resulted in the positive outcome of my case. Questions and concerns were always answered timely, straight to the point and respectfully. I would recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance!

John went above and beyond for my family!
We were in a situation that was very tough, and John fought for us. Pulled us from the flames sort of speak. He has the smarts and the grit to take on any challenge. I 1000% recommend John and his team to anyone who needs an attorney!
I am never going to forget John, and I hope whoever is reading this hires John for their situation. He simply is the best! There is no other way to put it.
I am forever grateful for John and his team's hard work. Thank you John!

We needed a lawyer last minute for a deposition. Courtney called us late in the evening on the same day we inquire. She filed the paperwork necessary to get the harassing unnecessary deposition removed and the case was settled just 2 days later. I will be calling her anytime I need legal help from now on.

I am a military Officer and who does critical thinking and planning on regular basis. Upon substituting my former attorney and firm with Courtney, I saw the clear cut difference between most attorneys and the Exceptional/Elite. Don’t waste time reading any further reviews. Each person has a talent and I believe Courtney’s talent is passion for her clients and job. Arguing in the courtroom is Courtney’s natural talent. She is a master of her craft. She simply has the courtroom attitude, voice, projects confidence and speaks facts. No fluff! Trust me, to my military battle buddies, I will go to battle with Courtney any day in the courtroom and be confident in victory. I can write a whole page but I won’t waste your time. Hire Courtney. She will save you from stress and get to the point without wasting your time and money. She is loyal to you and the law, what do I mean? If you want something from your case that is not law, Courtney will not allow you to waste time and money. No wild chasing in hopes that it will stick. All you have to do is to trust her. Still don’t believe? I will still say trust and you will get what is deserving of you in the courtroom.

I am so grateful to find Atty. Ed Lindain, he’s been there all through out my immigration journey/process from student visa to now lawful permanent resident!

I will definitely recommend atty. Ed!

Their office was very prompt to answer inquiries, and they were organized as much as possible. They gave lists when needed especially with the requirements, set up meetings in a timely manner, and accommodated our schedules. Atty. explained the rationale behind every step of the process and thoroughly explained my options and possible outcomes. It felt that I was over prepared when it was my turn for the interview. They were very transparent with fees from start to end. Thank you Atty. and Joseph!

I highly recommend Benjamin Deguire, Family Law Attorney in Flagstaff, AZ. Ben was the top reference I was given through my friends and family who practice Law in Arizona. With that, I was not shocked to learn that Ben was completely booked when I reached out to him last year, but he agreed to meet with me over the phone to assess the complexity of my Divorce case and feel me out as a prospective client. Fortunately, he agreed to take me on. Ben is an expert on Family Law and also very familiar with the Judges’ tendencies, and well connected with the other family law attorneys in town. This positions him to give sound advice on probable outcomes of settling outside of court vs. in trial. Communication is key when you’re navigating something as stressful, complex and high stakes as Divorce. Ben welcomes questions and input. He was able to pull my input into a strategy with my best interest and outcomes in mind. He tackled each category of the divorce decree one at a time, approaching the cleanest, simplest issues first. This set a nice tone for negotiating the more difficult issues later. Ultimately, we were able to settle outside of court through a combination of a Settlement Lite conference and a Judicial Settlement Conference. I can’t say enough good things about Ben and his wife, Liz. They were wonderful to work with and very relatable on the emotional aspects of divorce and divorce with children.

I hired Ben Deguire for a second divorce proceeding and child support. If you are reading his reviews to find the best attorney, my experience with Ben and his office were positive. It was not an easy or fast process, but his office was very supportive and provided me guidance for me when I wasn’t sure what I could do and what needed to be done. If you are not sure what to do or which direction to head -Ben and his team are great. He gave me scenarios and with his expertise I was able to make the right decisions for my family.

In June of 2022, I filed for divorce on a Pro Se basis simply because I could not afford an attorney. After a year of handling everything on my own I knew I couldn't go any further because my Ex-husband was manipulating, lying and coming against me to get Alimony. A friend of mine referred me to Ramsey Merhi. He was God sent literally! My divorce was tumultuous and very stressful. Ramsey stepped in and handled all documents and steps that lead to a full trial. Ramsey was very professional, kind and very supportive through the divorce process. He was very thorough in all the proceedings. A week ago today (July 30, 2024), I had my 4th and final court case for the judge to make a final decision about alimony! I've been fervently praying for the last 2 years about this case.. praying that the judge would rule in my favor that my husband NOT be granted alimony. Thanks to Ramsey's excellent representation and argument against my husband, I am now a FREE WOMAN !!! ITS OVER and ALIMONY WAS DENIED!!!.. I can't stop thanking God for answering my prayers and sending Ramsey my way! If you are looking for a good divorce attorney I highly recommend that you go with Ramsey S. Merhi! You won't be disappointed!

I was scared and confused and frankly completely lost when I found out I had to go to court. Thankfully I called James Doherty who was very helpful and very good at calming me down and pointing me in the right direction. One of the last things he said to me in our first phone call was to "not worry and everything will be ok." James reassured me every step of the way as things progressed. James was very professional individual keeping everything we spoke to on topic and efficient. I was also dealing with a big move to the west coast at the time of the case and
James saved me the trouble of having to fly back to the state of New Hampshire by convincing the judge to let me appear via telephone in California state. I can't say enough about how effective and helpful James Doherty was! He was a man of few words but every single thing he said carried weight and reassurance that everything was in fact, going to be ok, and he was right! I wish I still lived in NH only to have Doherty in my back pocket in case I ever needed him again. You are in great hands with James Doherty.

Mr. Jim Doherty was my divorce lawyer and he was amazing. He did an excellent job representing me in my divorce case, and my divorce process wasn’t easy. It took quite some time, but with Jim’s support in addition to how well he fought to defend me in my case, and to make sure I got exactly what I deserved; I made it through. I highly recommend Jim Doherty and he deserves a 5 star rating.

Ron is the attorney you want. His knowledge of the law is outstanding. When I was losing hope with a previous attorney who had thankfully stepped down, Ron was appointed to me. I was losing hope until Ron explained everything to me and my entire case turned around. My desired outcome became reality. I couldn’t have done it without him. He is very responsive via email and explanative. He gets right to the point. A million thank you’s wouldn’t be enough to Ron. He got me back my purpose in life and for that I am forever grateful to him. Ron is the attorney you want representing you.

Attorney Christopher Papa did an outstanding job on our case. We were trying to stop a sand and gravel mining project, and unfortunately did not contact Attorney Papa until after the third hearing on the matter. Had he been present from the start, he could have questioned their witnesses, and brought even more facts into play. Regardless, he jumped in with both feet and submitted a 20 plus page report supporting our position with past case law and reasons why that particular business model was not a good fit for our area, in addition to coming and representing us in person at the next hearing. He is very friendly and outgoing, and very easy to talk to. He also appeared to be well-known and well liked by other individuals that worked in our local legal system. The mining operation pulled all of their applications, deciding not to proceed in our area after that hearing, and I believe his presence and his report had a great deal to do with it. If you are fighting such a legal battle, don’t hesitate to contact Attorney Papa from the start!

Mr. Salzer helped my Family Attorney, with whom he works, beat frivolous litigation that was filed against me at the behest of the opposing party's counsel, who sought legal leverage during a very sad and contentious separation-process. Mr. Salzer's litigation skills were superb. I felt sorry for the opposing attorney, who appeared to be out-maneuvered at every step of the way by Mr. Salzer. He came prepared, confident, and with a great deal of expertise. Nonetheless, he and his colleagues are compassionate and realistic; they consistently advise and make decisions with the best interests of the children in mind.

Our custody case to say the least was extremely difficult from the start. I live in Washington State and my ex-wife lives in Pennsylvania. The children's mom does love them but there were some serious issues occurring. I had witnessed a deterioration in my children's care and behavior over a long period of time. To the point of needing to take action.
It was clearly going to be an uphill battle and Bob and others did a remarkably accurate job of setting those expectations from the start. I will try to be brief as this fight took over 2 years to win. The strategies all along the way turned out to position us perfectly for the next step. Finally we worked together to build the case, get it before the Judge, and put into place a Court Order that my ex-wife simply couldn't adhere to. This was the straw that broke her case and set her up to capitulate in the end. Keeping in mind we were preparing to bring it again before the same Judge and she knew she would lose.
Bob's familiarity with the court, court personnel and proceedings was a huge advantage! He is masterful in court, simply more in tune, vastly skilled, and clearly more comfortable than the opposing attorneys (He simply "owned' them, I don't know how else to say it and it was amusing to watch). His briefs and motions accomplished everything he wanted them to and nothing he didn't. Strategy is key and his was extremely effective.
In closing I will say that if you have a family court/custody case, then William's Family Law is THE Law Firm, and Robert Salzer IS your attorney if you want to win?! Undertakings like this are not inexpensive but Bod's rates are a bargain for the level of representation you receive. I for one feel like he could actually charge more so get in before his rates increase. I would spend the money twice over to insure my children have a bright future, Bob felt/believed in what we where doing, and pursued it with professional passion. I know that the work to turn my children's lives around has just started but I credit the chance to Bob! And I thank God every day for the opportunity he helped me win.
While I hope to never need his Criminal Defense expertise there is no doubt in my mind whom I would want in court for me or anyone in my family!

Jane Maughan has been our attorney for a challenging child custody case involving our granddaughters, who were in an unsafe environment. Every step of the way, Jane has provided us with sound legal advice to achieve the best outcomes for us and our granddaughters. She didn't always tell us what we wanted to hear, but she always told us what we needed to hear. She's focused, ethical, and fair, in and out of the courtroom. With Jane's help, the girls have been living safely with us for almost 2 years, and we are in the process of filing for permanent custody. We couldn't have chosen a better attorney.

Jane has proven to be knowledgeable and prepared in her professional capacity. She is able to make one feel at ease at a crucial time when you feel uncertain of your future. I also witnessed the respect and legitimacy of her reputation among her colleagues and the system in which she practices. Jane takes the time and effort to make sure that you are fully versed and informed with the process to make an informed decision. Jane Maughan is the attorney you want in your corner when you find yourself in need of proper representation. She gets results with her extensive experience, integrity and grace.

I have dealt with countless attorneys during years in business and have always been amazed at the wide range of skill/talent (or lack of) in the profession. I have known Jane for many years because of her excellent reputation in the community and hired her recently to handle a difficult and sensitive legal matter. I was extremely pleased with her and the guidance she provided. She was always professional but had a relaxed and friendly style that put all involved at ease. Jane demonstrated excellent knowledge of the law and smoothly guided us to a very fair result. If not the best, she is among top 2 or 3 attorneys I have worked with during my years in business. I would highly recommend her.

I was facing some legal proceedings regarding my daughter and based off of past experiences with my ex-wife I was rather concerned because things never seem to work out in a father's favor in my expereince. Still, I was determined to ensure my rights were not being abused and that I would get a fair time before the courts. So after consulting with multiple lawyers I decided to retain Matt and I can honestly say it was the best decision I could have made. From our first interaction, Matt was able to put my worrisome mind at ease and explain everything in detail so that I felt good about the direction we were proceeding down. I have never once questioned whether he had my interests in mind, and truly felt for the first time that I had someone who cared about my well being in these matters. He has been great about communicating with me and if there has been any questions for either of us they have been quickly addressed so that we are always on the same page. I cannot say enough about how great it has been working with Matt, and I know that if I have any further family law issues in the future he will definitely be my first phone call!

Kristen represented me through a custody dispute, as I tried to navigate the best possible scenario for my daughter, age 5. We knew some of the things I was fighting for (relocation) was an uphill battle, but she supported me while also giving me realistic assessments of our options.

I retained Kristen in December of 2021. During our initial meeting she answered every question and I had 3 pages of them. She never made me feel rushed and even asked if I had additional questions. She and her team made me feel important. When dissolving a marriage of 28 years it can be absolutely crushing as we all know. Kristen was always a voice of reason and calm. Things were settled in a timely manner to my benefit. My day in court was a tearful day and Kristen made sure I was calm, cool and collected before she left me. Lots of hugs. I have referred her to several people. Thanks- Susan

I want to thank you for helping me to obtain my green card through VAWA. It was an arduous and difficult process for me, since I had not been able to go see my family for years. You have been an angel that God put in my path. I went through very difficult and desperate moments. I wanted to leave the USA and put everything aside, but you always gave me encouragement that we had a good case and we would achieve it. And so it was, with God's help and with your commitment and dedication we did it!! ! Your degree of professionalism surprised me to see how hard you worked on my case. Today I thank you because with your help we were able to achieve it. I am so happy that I do not know how to express my gratitude, I can only express my infinite thanks and may God continue to bless you greatly.

I’d like to take a few moments to say a few words about attorney, Alex Savickas. I felt I had no hope after receiving a court ruling that put my daughter in extreme danger. My ex was violent and accused of horrific crimes by multiple victims, including our daughter together, and was requesting long-distance (to FL from OH) visitation with my young daughter. The attorney I previously had butchered my case, leaving us with a detrimental ruling that forced my child into visitations with her dangerous father.
By the grace of God, someone recommended Alex. He immediately filed motions to appeal the order, and we were able to get safer visits established. It has been an ongoing battle for more than 3 years as my ex continues using the system to harass us, and Alex has stayed a few steps ahead the entire time, and every round gets us closer to keeping my little girl safer. He has been one of few throughout all of this to stand up and be our hero.
I have always admired Alex for his exemplary demeanor. Not only does he present himself in a clean-cut and professional manner, but he also carries himself exceptionally well. His calm and composed nature is truly inspiring. Whenever I find myself overwhelmed with frustration and ready to impulsively react, Alex has the remarkable ability to help me take a step back and refocus on the bigger picture. With his unerring guidance and advice, he has proven time and again that he is always right. It's truly remarkable to witness such wisdom and insight into action.
It is evident that Alex possesses a deep understanding of the legal system, as well as an extensive knowledge of the law and how it applies in different circumstances. His expertise is truly impressive. However, what sets him apart is his ability to work well with opposing counsel and all other parties involved. He possesses excellent interpersonal skills and knows how to navigate through difficult situations with tact and professionalism.
I had the pleasure of witnessing firsthand Alex's unwavering determination and exceptional skills in navigating through any obstacles that may arise. His relentless drive to make a difference is truly humbling, especially within a system that is often characterized by its flaws and shortcomings. Alex's remarkable ability to confront challenges head-on without any hesitation or fear of failure sets him apart from others. His willingness to lend a helping hand, even in the face of adversity, further exemplifies his altruistic nature. It is truly refreshing to witness someone who doesn't shy away from difficult situations but instead embraces them as opportunities for growth and change. Alex's remarkable capabilities and unwavering dedication continue to leave a lasting impression on me, and I am certain that his impact will be felt by many others as well.

I met Alex through the Domestic Violence Network & YWCA. He has always being very profesional & he has always taking the time to hear the different stories & what the victims opinions. He has being able to give each victim the time that they need & answer any questions that they have even if they only speak Spanish. This is one of what one of our victims said about him "Alex y tu son mis angelitos!!!! Alex es un ser humano increíble que me a ayudado con ese proceso tan dificil y tedioso…. Gracias a él pude terminar y cerrar mi caso en Minnesota y lo más irónico toda su ayuda a cambio de nada!!! Por que sus servicios para mi han sido gratuitos… solo tengo palabras de agradecimiento para el y bendiciones /Alex has being my little angel!!!! Alex is an incredible human being who has helped me with that difficult and tedious process…. Thanks to him I was able to finish and close my case in Minnesota and the most ironic thing was all his help in exchange for nothing!!! Because his services to me have been free... I only have words of gratitude and blessings for him another opinion of our victims "Ok…exelente servicio siempre buscando lo mejor para sus clientes atento a todo nose que mas puedo agregar yo me siento muy bien con su manera de trabajar/Ok...excellent service always looking for the best for their clients attentive to everything I don't know what else I can add I feel very good with his methods & professionalism." Thank you Alex for everything!!!

I was served a summons for a hearing with very short notice. My ex was making an unfounded and misguided attempt to reduce the parenting time I have with our child.
I hired Christine, and from the beginning she was comforting to me and a strong advocate for my child's rights, and my rights as a father.
This sort of situation is extremely stressful and anxiety inducing. She let me know what I needed to do to look my best. She negotiated strongly and fairly with the other attorney.
She gave me the confidence to remain calm and collected throughout three hearings.
The result was that I not only didn't lose any parenting time, but we achieved a true 50/50 shared placement agreement, which is the most fair for everyone involved.
Christine is knowledgeable, confident, and knows what is fair. I would work with her again in an instant if the need arises.

My wife and I reached out to Christine to help with the adoption of my two boys. She guided us through the process and checked in with us regularly. Whenever we hit some unexpected bumps on the road (and we hit quite a few), Christine was always there to offer advice and assistance where possible. She was invested in us the entire time and always responded in a timely manner.

Blake represented me in my overwhelming family law case and to say he exceeded all of my expectations would be an understatement. Blake has strong integrity and truly worked on my case as if it were his own. Although I have had other attorneys in the past, Blake is the only attorney who gave me the confidence to finally stand up for myself and trust him to actually fight for me along the way. I am blown away by his passion, dedication and commitment to his clients! Also, He and his staff have exceptional communication! I never had to wonder about my case or wait for call backs. They were always there to answer any questions I may have had or call me first with ANY new updates in my case. To me that’s extremely rare and so very appreciated! I highly recommend Blake Lynch for all of your legal needs. You will not be disappointed!

I used the Slovensky Law firm for my divorce. I looked up lawyers in the surrounding area near Roanoke, and this firm had wonderful 5 star reviews. Those reviews helped me realize this is who I need to help me through my divorce. Mrs. Slovensky helped me every step of the way to understand the process and always so positive in helping me get through this. My ex-husband wanted a very large sum of my retirement plan. She brought in another company to evaluate every part of my plan and lowered the sum substantially!!!! By doing this, I was able to walk away from the marriage not owing him a large sum of money. I would highly recommend this practice to everyone I know!!!! Thank you again Slovensky Law Practice for everything!!!!

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You
A family law lawyer provides legal services related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, and adoption. Family lawyers help clients navigate emotionally charged legal issues, providing guidance and representation in disputes that affect spouses, children, and parents. Whether you're going through a divorce, seeking custody of your children, or drafting a prenuptial agreement, a family law lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your interests are represented.
Family law attorneys often handle sensitive matters and offer objective legal advice, helping clients reach fair outcomes either through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
When Should I Hire a Family Law Lawyer?
Hiring a family law lawyer is beneficial in several situations, especially when legal matters involve close personal relationships. Common reasons to hire a family law lawyer include:
- Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
- Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.
- Child support: Whether you’re seeking child support or defending against a claim, a lawyer can help ensure the appropriate amount is calculated and enforced.
- Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: A lawyer can help draft or review agreements that protect your assets in case of divorce.
- Adoption: Family law lawyers guide you through the legal process of adoption, ensuring that all requirements are met.
- Domestic violence or restraining orders: If you're a victim of domestic violence or being falsely accused, a lawyer can help you obtain or challenge protective orders.
- Paternity cases: If there are questions about the paternity of a child, a lawyer can help establish or dispute legal fatherhood.
Hiring a lawyer early can prevent issues from escalating, and they can offer you the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome in emotionally charged situations.
What Does a Family Law Lawyer Do?
A family law lawyer provides a wide range of services depending on your specific legal needs. Their responsibilities may include:
- Advising on legal rights and options: Helping you understand your legal rights regarding divorce, child custody, support, and other family law issues.
- Filing legal documents: Drafting and filing petitions, motions, and agreements with the court, such as divorce papers, custody agreements, or support orders.
- Representing clients in court: Arguing your case in front of a judge if a settlement can’t be reached through negotiation or mediation.
- Mediation and negotiation: Assisting with alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, to reach agreements on issues like custody, property division, and support without going to trial.
- Enforcing court orders: Helping you enforce court orders related to child support, alimony, or custody if the other party fails to comply.
- Drafting prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: Creating agreements that protect your assets in the event of a divorce.
- Handling adoption proceedings: Ensuring that the legal process of adoption is followed, from filing paperwork to finalizing the adoption in court.
How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?
Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
- Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
- Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.
The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.
How Much Does a Family Law Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a family law lawyer varies based on factors such as the lawyer's experience, the location, and the complexity of your case. Here are some general cost guidelines:
- Hourly rates: Family law lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
- Flat fees: For simpler cases, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
- Retainers: For more complex matters, such as contested divorces or custody battles, lawyers may charge a retainer ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 or more. The lawyer will bill against the retainer for the work they do on your case.
- Additional costs: You may also be responsible for additional costs, such as filing fees, mediation fees, or expert witness fees.
Always ask for a clear breakdown of the lawyer’s fees and any additional expenses during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -
Who will be handling my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.
How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
- Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
- Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
- List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
- Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
- Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.
Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
