Saved me money and time. He was willing to work for me and not just be a rep. He has an amazing rapport with everyone in the modesto area. THAT alone helps your case more than you might realize. people respect him and that respect spills over onto you. I got my daughter back after a TRO (A false one) was filed and now have the understanding and paperwork to prevent any false accusations in the future from robbing me of my family. I have even resolved my differences with my ex and are now back with her and solid after quite some time. This man is honest and requires you to be honest as well. not shy or reluctant in taking action. honorable… hope he becomes a judge some day.

Amazing man. He cares and he is legendary at his job.
