A divorcing couple with one child, age 9, used Advocates for Families to mediate their divorce and the father offered the following feedback about his experience with facilitative mediation and Advocates for Families:

I know it is been a while since we last talked and back than I promised that sometime after things calmed down in my life I would provide some feedback on the overall experience on the process of the mediation that you have assisted us through. I can now more calmly look back and understand how great of a job you did for us and I am sure the same applies to the rest of your clients. At the time I might have had some minor frustration over fully understanding how charges were applied, but now, looking back, I know that it had mostly to do with me having no idea of how this thing works. I am happy that people like you and the services that you provide exist. At a time when couples go through one of the most traumatic stages in their life, you make life being more tolerable and shorten up a process that otherwise can take forever and can cost a little fortune. I am glad that through Caroline Garmo, we had a chance to hear about you and your services. All I can hope is that more people will find their way to you (or people like you) when family life comes to crossroads.

Thank You for all you did for us.

A professional woman who had been married for 25 years and mediated her divorce through Advocates for Families, shared the positive response she received from the Court in connection with her mediated divorce and commented as follows:

The judge was pleased we could mediate and complimented us in settling amicably. You did well......Thanks for all of your help.

A mother and father of two children, ages 5 and 7, used Keith and Kim in its facilitative mediation practice - Advocates for Families - and the father offered the following words of thanks to Keith and Kim for their services:

"You helped make a difficult life change less painful. I am confident that [we] will be able to work together to help the kids make the adjustment and raise them to be emotionally healthy and happy, while at the same time moving on with our own lives. I know that there may be some rough roads ahead, and that the healing process has just begun, but I feel like we have handled this in a way that was mature and fair for both of us. I would recommend mediation to anyone who feels they can separate amicably, and would definitely recommend both of you to mitigate the process. Thanks again for all your work, and for restoring some of my trust in attorneys!"

58-year old professional woman, who had been married for 11 years, found D&O's commitment to providing affordable and quality legal representation to be exactly what she expected from a family law firm with regard to protecting her financial interests and by giving her the individual attention she deserved."

 “While divorce is a difficult and stressful personal time, I was impressed with Keith's sensitivity and dedication in helping his clients go through the divorce process with dignity and integrity. Many attorneys simply treat divorce as a business partnership to be dissolved. While emotional aspects of divorce cannot be resolved in a court of law, attorneys who distance themselves from the personal experience of the client, do the client a disservice. Keith has the capacity to be sensitive to the needs of his client and be professional.

. . . By the way, you are light years ahead (of my former counsel).  I am so glad I attended your seminar and met you.  I will certainly be handing out your business card to anyone I know that has need of a good attorney who is efficient and knowledgeable.

A 23-year old father who had been married for over 1 year turned to D&O to assist with obtaining an uncontested divorce, as well as advising on his custodial rights with respect to his 2-year old child.  

 “It was a pleasure speaking with you this morning.  In addition to your legal knowledge, you seem like an awesome guy. . . .  I look forward to working with you. . . .”

 A Licensed Pscyhologist and Marriage and Family Therapist who has also joined D&O as a professional affiliate strongly endorses D&O and its attorneys.

"...Kim and Keith are extremely professional, earnest and committed to their clients, and a couple of attorneys who I would strongly endorse...."

A mother sent her appreciation to Keith for successfully defending against the State’s attempt to permanently terminate her parental rights to her young children:

“Thank you so much for all your hard work. You were sent by God to defend me. I can’t thank you enough. I have so much gratitude to say but don’t want to be long winded like usual. My church family wants to say thanks and send you blessings. . . .”

An attorney who was involved in Keith mediating a long-lasting post judgment parenting time dispute offered the following words concerning his efforts:

“I just wanted to thank you again for your invaluable assistance in resolving the parenting time issues in the above case. Without your patience and efforts the parties couldn’t possibly have achieved a settlement. Please let me know if I may somehow return the favor at some future date."

Attorney, George Parks
