Case Consultation
For the self-represented parent or lawyer:
Think you have a strong case? Ever wonder what an assessor might think? Want a third party perspective on your position? Want to prepare better for settling your dispute? Think your client needs a reality check? Think your lawyer does? Have you really chosen the best strategy?
In a consultation, you can discuss and gain a frank perspective from a court recognized expert with decades of experience.
Your course of action can greatly determine the outcome and while feeling strongly about one course of action, another may be better suited. This is the opportunity to review different strategies and to determine your chance of success or what may better bring about your goals. In the end, what you chose to do will remain up to you.
Typically the issues involve concern of parent-child relationships, custody (decision making) and access (the residential arrangement).
This service is closed meaning I will not provide a report for court purposes and nor can I be called or subpoenaed to court to testify with regard to this service.
