My case was hopeless. Too complex for the first three attorney's that I called. Divorce, child custody for a man, and I was listening to friends who had no real legal experience. She educated me on the law and gave me several possible scenarios. My expectations were not legally possible. Because I listened to her, my daughter is now totally in my custody. My ex is in rehab. The divorce went through expeditiously and I did not have to refinance my home to win my case. So many attorneys only care ABOUT BILLING. SHE CARED ABOUT MY FAMILY. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Ms. Gossman.
