    From Our Clients

    We can talk about our experience, dedication to family law and unique team approach, but there is something more valuable-what our clients say about their personal experience with us.

    Attorney (Ryan) Proctor is simply the best. Not only is he knowledgeable, he and his team took the time to educate me every step of the way. I was treated with dignity and respect every step of the way. If there was ever a change that needed to happen, I was notified promptly and given options. Every email and phone call I sent was responded to in a timely manner. I was blessed to have Attorney Proctor and his team work with me. I could not have asked for better representation in court. He and his team truly went above and beyond my child and I and I’m forever grateful. Ryan considered me as a person, not just another case. I can’t thank this team enough.
    Ms. Anne Thompson and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with. They made it easy to communicate and maintain pertinent documents through their online system of record. Ms. Thompson was very responsive and ensured we had a solid plan prior to going into our hearing. Pricing is fair compared to other attorneys I’ve worked with. Highly recommend!

I was treated with dignity and respect every step of the way. If there was ever a change that needed to happen, I was notified promptly and given options. Every email and phone call I sent was responded to in a timely manner. I was blessed to have Attorney Proctor and his team work with me. I could not have asked for better representation in court. He and his team truly went above and beyond my child and I and I’m forever grateful. Ryan considered me as a person, not just another case. I can’t thank this team enough.
    Ms. Anne Thompson and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with. They made it easy to communicate and maintain pertinent documents through their online system of record. Ms. Thompson was very responsive and ensured we had a solid plan prior to going into our hearing. Pricing is fair compared to other attorneys I’ve worked with. Highly recommend!
