Cutting Through Bureaucracy

Many people confuse permanent custody with kinship guardianship. Guardianship is often much faster and less adversarial than an outright adoption. It keeps parental rights intact and avoids an agonizing court war while giving the relative immediate legal control.

My client, Katie*, came to me after spending months getting bounced around by DFCS while trying to take care of her granddaughter. I stepped in and consolidated their paperwork. We got them a court date and a signed order in weeks instead of months.

I use my years of working with DFCS to take the overwhelming parts off families' plates.

I'm perfect for your neighbor whose Friday night dinners have one less car in the driveway but still have the grandkids playing in the yard on Saturday morning.

They want a swift, painless legal resolution so they can stop worrying about courtrooms and focus on being a family.

Ask them, What is a movie or book that completely changed the way you view the world?
