Thank you for posting your response. I think it is helpful for others to know that sometimes a consult is all that is needed.

Ginger is Amazing!!

When I needed to get custody of my daughter quickly I was referred to Ginger at Your Family Law Center. She met with my wife and I promptly to discuss the situation we found our daughter in. Not only was she able to find information about my ex and her husband to properly paint the picture of horror ...my daughter was living in. But with her incredible work we were granted exactly what we needed to provide our daughter with a more stable and healthier home environment. I would highly recommend Ginger, so much so that I have already referred a family member to her services. Ginger was kind and understanding with my ex's situation but demanded no nonsense in the matter of our daughter's safety.

Thank you Michael. She sure does seem to like to return to court. It has been my pleasure representing you. I am glad that we continue to convince the courts to order her to reimburse your attorney fees.

Student/Manager

My lawyer was awesome! She did such an professional job and she was more than enough fair with the other party. She worked at a high level of professionalism and she tried to settle out of court so my bill would not be so high. She kept in contact with me during the process and cares about her client...s.

Thank you Ami. I know you said that you were initially concerned about switching to me as you already had a lawyer. Thankfully you did so we could get you out of the mess that was created with the first order! I am so glad that the judge saw things just as I argued them so you have the support that you need for the next 12 years!

Truly, a lifesaver!

I contacted Your Family Law Center a few months ago when my marriage exploded. Ginger didn't waste time, she caught herself up with our history and we were ready for our first injunction hearing in a week. Ginger is straight forward, she gives you real information that is at times tough to hear but... without her guidance and strength my family and I would be in a much different situation. I could tell the second that we walked in the court room as the security guards welcomed her and wished her luck that I had made the right decision. I have two young children, it has never been an issue to have them along if I have to stop in to meet or sign paperwork. The office staff is friendly and the administrative assistant welcomes the girls with open arms. Ashley, the paralegal is more like a detective :) She is very intellegent, quick and organized. If you are looking for a supportive, caring, and welcoming team to really work to do what's best for you and your family, Your Family Law Center is absolutely the right choice.

Thank you for your kind words. At Your Family Law Center, we know that when the family case involves an injunction hearing, there is no time to waste, as those hearings are scheduled within 2 weeks. I am glad to learn that your work with our team was a positive experience for you, including the trips to the office with kiddos. We realize that many clients are just learning how to be a single parent. That is why we have the kids room so kiddos can play games, read books, draw, etc. while parents are meeting with our family law team.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
