I am currently involved in a highly contentious custody battle with my ex. Because of the conflict, I went from living with and seeing my son (18 months old) to a month with no contact and, now, only a couple short visits a week. This was and is the hardest thing for me (and I am sure any loving parent) to go through. I was distraught, scared, extremely sad and emotional. My ex was determined to keep me from our son and to have complete control of when or whether I was going to be able to see him at all.
I called law firms from downtown to North County and called friends who have gone through divorce and custody battles of their own. No one came more highly recommended than Marcel Radomile, as soon as I met with her I could see why.
Marcel made time to see me within hours of my call. I went in completely unaware of the legal process and had no idea what my rights were as a parent, much less how I was to go about gaining 50/50 custody of my son. Marcel understood that this was the most important thing in my life and made me feel confident that she would do her best to make this happen. She took the time to listen to all my concerns, worries, and frustrations. She calmly explained the process, the best way to go about achieving my goals, and what was possible.
My ex hired a highly aggressive lawyer. Marcel assured me that this approach rarely goes over well with the courts. She met the attorney head on while maintaining a calm and gracious professionalism. She was stern and held my position and her ground the whole time.
Ultimately, Marcel worked with the other lawyer and reached a decision that going to a mediator was the best course of action to resolve the matter. She explained to me that going to court would be very expensive and, even though she and the other lawyer could make plenty of money doing this, she said that that would only be as a last resort.
My case is nearing the end and still not over yet. But things are looking good and at this point I felt compelled to write this review to express my graditude and satisfaction with Marcel's talents and skills as lawyer. I can't recommend her enough.
I will update my review as soon as we come to a final resolution. read more
