I'm a newly single mom.. and my sons father and I just had a big blowout due to his bad habits. We are due to go back to court very soon and I don't want to go in without some sort of legal standing. I have very little money so I would need someone cheap.
E.,
I am very pleased with the attorney that I am using! his name is David Rohlf. He is in Rockwall, but Mesquite is just the next city over. He charges $200/hour. This is the cheapest rate that I have been quoted. Let me know if you have any specific questions about him. His number is ###-###-####.
Good Luck,
T.
I know of a very good attorney in Dallas that is semi-inexpensive for an attorney, but a STEAL considering the quality of representation you get. His name is Lee Bright and his number is ###-###-####. His main focus is criminal law, but he has a strong history of family law also. He's handling my divorce. I also would suggest calling Legal Aid. They're a great resource that not alot of people know about. Lawyers are required to do a certain number of "pro bono" cases per year and legal aid is where they get those cases. It's quality lawyers for free! I hope you decide to give Lee a call; it'll be worth it for you in the end. I'm going through a similar situation myself, and he's been worth more to me than I realized at the beginning of this. If you call, tell him J. sent you. And good luck to you!
I'm a social worker in the area and was involved for several years with the family legal system. Beth Maultsby was a judge but is now in private practice. She's great, but I'm not sure how much she charges. Her number is ###-###-####. Good Luck!
Hey I was wondering if you got any leads as far as a cheap attorney. And I am also looking for advice as far as a costody battle. I am a single parent of 2 married to their father but he lives in California and has not paid a dime for his kids nor has he even met his son. I am very lost as far as what to expect and I do NOT want a stranger getting custody of 2 children he has NEVER done anything for. Any input would be appreciated. Thank You ~E.
E.,
I wanted to tell you to keep your chin up. A lot of women are going thru what you are going thru. Some days are good and some days are bad - and then it seems to get worse. Try not to let your emotions get the best of you. Keep cool - even in the heat of "battle" because it's best for the whole situation. I know there are times when I could do unspeakable things to my ex but I try to remind myself that he's my ex and I'm tied to him - like it or not. And thank God he's my ex.
Hang in there. My number is ###-###-####. I'm in Dallas - just moved. Call me if you need to vent or just grab some coffee. I've been thru 2 court battles already - and maybe one more before it's all done. I could give you some advice if you need someone to bounce ideas off of. I've almost heard it all.
D.
