“Highly respected by Family Court judges, the Children's Law Center (Annabel Murray and Stacy Fukuhara-Barclay) was selected as guardian ad litem in my divorce. They are strong advocates for children and always focuses on the best interest of the child.”
5
Thorough, meticulous, and inclusive in case preparation and presentation
“Thorough, meticulous and inclusive in her development and presentation of our case. Did her due diligence and left no stone unturned.”
Cons
1
Potential lack of communication and responsiveness to client concerns
“I could not even get a response from Annabel prior to our court date, she disregarded the documentation I wanted to submit into evidence, and there was barely any communication until the day of the court hearing 30 min prior.”
2
Potential focus on settling out of court rather than addressing client's key concerns
“The first thing she informed me was that ALL judges require their clients to go to mediation, so let us push to settle out of court. I wasn't looking to save a few dollars, and had informed her that my ultimate number 1 concern was the safety and security of my daughter. She completely disregarded my concerns, issues, evidence, etc.”
