A friend recommended attorney Himes after I received a custody modification in the mail. I was sick to my stomach about going to court and didn't know what to do. I went in to see attorney Himes for a consult so I could be more informed about the process and my rights. Attoney Himes let me know that first I would have a mediation. Attoney Himes told me that if I didn't not agree with what what must child'support father was asking for to not agree and request a hearing. He told me to not feel pressed to agree even if it's one day. He looked through all the documents I provided him and was confident that I had enough document to keep the current agreement in place. He offered to come with me to the mediation but let me know that it was not necessary. He suggested that I save my money and use it toward retaining him if my case were to go to trail. He was very knowledgeable about custody court. He told me that if I were to agree to any modification during mediation then I would not be able to use any of my documentation in the future. I ended up requesting for my case to go to trail (the mediator was very pushy for me to just agree to 50/50). Attorney Himes represented me. He answered all my questions. He got back to me in a timely manner. He spent his time with me so that I felt comfortable (he wasn't just milking the clock). He didnt make me any promises. He actually told me "the judge could decide to agree to give him 50/50 or a few more overnight but he's not a bad guy he just has some growing up to do". He made sure the judge knew all my concerns. I ended up winning my case but even if I hadn't I would still recommend Attoney Himes. He always had my child's best interest at heart which is exactly what I wanted!
