Testimonials: our Clients Says It Best

Samantha Foster
★★★★★
I am so thankful that I found Angela when I did. I had been in a contentious custody battle for over 6 years. I had Angela and her paralegal, Emily, for exactly one year and we got a GAL assigned and then eventually came to an agreed order. Her billing is very fair as well. I highly recommend her and Emily. They are fierce but fair!

★★★★★
I feel so fortunate to have found such a passionate and competent attorney at Davis and associates. Daniel Lastres not only listened compassionately , he truly cared about the outcome regarding the difficult situation I was confronted with. He advised me through my uncomfortable ordeal , using language I could understand regarding all the legalities of the division of our property. He is a ( soft spoken ) force of nature and then some.
