I had 5 days to find an Attorney and my aunt gave Me Mr. Brad Smiths name. he made time for me to come see me and told me up front getting custody of my daughter would be almost impossible but we will try our best. 11/2 years later,and a lot of hard work I got primary custody of my daughter and he did the impossible. His staff is the best and you will not be dissapointed
