Child Custody Isn’t a ‘Fight!’ … It’s a Journey
Words matter. While it’s tempting and natural to see every opposition we encounter as a fight, that word implies doing physical harm to your opponent. Although the word appeals to our core nature, it’s also a primitive approach to living.

In other recent cases, Clients raising an undocumented child since her birth successfully navigated international notice provisions to attain conservatorship and protection for their child.
In a pro bono case, a disabled client saved her home, along with the home of her disabled adult child, through combined persistent actions in both Probate Court and Civil District Court.
In another well-publicized pro bono case, a Client ‘without a country’ who struggled for a decade to navigate State and Federal courts as a ‘foundling’ finally attained documentation. A smarter lawyer finished that fight, but I was credited with an assist. Glad to help!
