I've known this Law Firm for over 15 years to be very knowledgeable about family law. They assisted me with obtaining 50%-50% custody of my girls. Spend the extra money to get the right attorney's on your side. Plus they referred me to a well known business attorney when I needed to create a Corporation for starting a new business. Ask personally for Mr. Rolf Kruger. Excellent service and friendly staff.
