How do I write a significant review that comes through to you all when you are in your time of…read moreneed? A truly dark time that revisits when you've gone through a horrible divorce and it continues as times as your children get older? Last night, I that dark time return in a Notice of Hearing filing which was received down to the wire from the court date. The filing looked "wrong" yet you must respond for court as they don't accept excuses. In the dark night, I email out to Daniel what to do?!!! First thing in the early morning, what do I see?!! An email response from Daniel. And in his normal, calm manner he tells me what I can do - step-by-step. I can do this now because Daniel is there for me and with me. Divorce is hard enough as it is but I've been on this road for a way long time due to kids being involved. When it's a bad divorce, it carries through because you share kids. You need an attorney in family law who is calm and stable enough to guide you when the darkness hits. I am so blessed Daniel is there for me. I can do this because he's there to guide me.

This review is long overdue, but I honestly don't know how I would have navigated my brother's estate without them. ​Kim is incredible to work with. She brought so much compassion to a tough situation, but she is also a total professional who knows how to get things done. She helped organize a clear plan for everything, including the junk haul and moving logistics. We opted not to do an estate sale, but it is nice to know it's a service they offer. The efficiency and speed at which the team was able to get the house cleared out really helped so we could start renovations before selling it. They truly lighten the load when you need it most, and at a reasonable rate. I cannot recommend them enough!

We finally talked on the phone and also mentioned to him that we already had an appointment set up with a family law attorney. He was very informative and asked us to talk to the lawyer before making any decisions. We were very grateful for that because it showed us that he really cared and didn't just want to take our money. Well after talking to the lawyer we realized that Josh was a better fit for what we needed and decided to hire him. We do not regret our decision one bit. I have been more at ease knowing that he is helping us and really took a huge weight off our shoulders. He is very understanding and very knowledgeable and always gets back to us in a timely matter and also always communicates with us on everything that he is doing and answers all our questions. He also sends us the paperwork to review and wants to make sure we are happy with it before he files anything. We are so thankful that we found him and how helpful he has been through all this process. We definitely feel that the price we payed was fair and we would use him again and again. We highly recommend him. I would give him 10 stars if I could!

His questions as well as his responses to my questions conveyed a deep understanding of the invisible nuances that exist in families while also conveying a clear path forward for our particular needs. I found this to be profoundly important. Of all of the people that I consulted, Josh left me with the most confidence. The straightforward simplicity of what services he offers and the value that you get is also a big deal, especially when you're already stressed out. I hope that no family ever needs help sorting through hardships, but if you do, definitely give Family Solutions a try.
