06/29/2023

After 3 years, Downriver Law Center has secured a tremendous win for our client. A Wayne County judge awarded our client a sole legal and sole physical custody and limited the opposing party to supervised parenting time for several months after years of unfounded and unsubstantiated allegations. This was our longest and most difficult case, but in the end, our client has found justice and his children are now safe, secure and able to move forward after this very painful journey. We're exceptionally proud of our hard work, endurance, and the outcome.

I received this message today from a retired collogue regarding a settled case that I was hired to research and investigate for an appeal. Ultimately, I told the client it appeared to me that the appeal had very little chance of success. It’s fulfilling to hear that my legal analysis was confirmed.

Hi Chris,

The Court of Appeals affirmed the decision of Judge ******* (pretty much). Then, [the client’s new counsel] filed with the Supreme Court. The SC refused to take the case. Chris, you told [the client], the appellant, that he did not have a good case for any appeal. Then [his new attorney] took the case. She lost at the Ct of Appeals. Then she filed for the Mich Supreme Ct. It was a fool’s errand. I wanted [you] to be up to speed. I only worked with [you] briefly, but I thought you were a man of great integrity. I wanted him to know my high opinion of you and the results following his recommendation to [the client].

Today's absurd property settlement request: "Ziplock bags all sizes."

HUGE victory today granting my client EQUAL parenting time in Livingston County. Sometimes it takes a little extra to win "away" against a local attorney, but the judge agreed that distance should not stop a parent from having equal parenting time. Thank God for great judges making great decisions.

A HUGE VICTORY
After a 19-month battle, 3 day trial, and a lot of hard work by Dad and his attorney, Mr. Simpson was granted sole physical custody of his son and daughter. Mom has been order to get the help she needs to become the parent we hope she can be.

Dad has had his daughter since January 2019, she is getting all A's and B's, and she joined several school clubs and activities in 2019/2020. Now that Dad has his son, he hopes to give him the same opportunity to flourish educationally and socially.

We root for both parents, but we rejoice with Dad and his victory to protect his children.

DLC could not be more proud of the hard hard hard work it took to see Mr. Simpson smile.

ATTENTION ALL CLIENT'S AND CO-PARENTS:

All Family Law Section members should have access to the summary, as well as the full text, of Governor Whitmer's "Stay Home, Stay Safe" order, 2020-20, issued March 23, 2020. Links to both are included below:

Link to full text
Link to summary

The provisions are effective at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, March 24.

With regard to the effect on parenting time orders, this Executive Order is consistent with the prior Supreme Court Statement that parents are obligated to continue to follow their orders. Governor Whitmer has ordered that transporting children for parenting time exchanges to comply with court orders or agreements is an exception to the "Stay Home" mandate.

Please urge your clients to continue to comply with court orders, or secure agreement with the other parent if there is actual COVID-19 in one home, but not the other, or specific facts in your case warrant such an agreement. Increased use of telephone and video communication should be strongly encouraged as part of the agreement where a child is not able to continue parenting time. The provision of make-up parenting time should also be assured if parenting time cannot continue pursuant to the order.

A draft letter to clients, provided by Richard Roane, Warner, Norcross + Judd, is available here (Word format) and repeated at the end of this message.

Check your local courts' websites and the most recent Family Law Journal for instructions to join the listserv. Both will help you stay up to date on best practices specifically applicable to your clients/cases.

I just received my 3rd job offer from the 3rd big law firm in 3 months. The offers always come after another attorney sees how I handle myself in court. I AM BEYOND FLATTERED, but I have a mission to help the hard-working men and women of the Downriver area receive the quality legal services they need. Thank you for making my day. It is a wonderful complement from my peers. :D

01/28/2020

Today we helped a dad get Joint Legal Custody, a 50/50 parenting time agreement. He'll pay no spousal support and walks away with +$40k. BEST PART!?!?! No court, no trial, and everyone moves on now! That is priceless.

01/18/2020

HUGE OUTCOME FAVORING DLC CLIENT
Restored Dad’s parenting time after more than a 60-day suspension. Plus received an order for make-up parenting time, make-up holiday parenting time, and the disclosure of medical records that were withheld from Dad. The cherry on top, recovered more than $4000 for unpaid marital debt! Good day in court is woefully understating the outcome.

I need a couple more hands to assist with the Veterans' Christmas Party this Sunday. Can you help?

12/06/2019

My client came to my office today and said:

"You saved my daughter's life. My daughter told me, 'I'm not worried, Chris will protect me.'"

I can't go into details, but this made me weep in front of my client because this poor child was hurting herself and her parent couldn't get anyone to listen...until she met me.
If there is a higher compliment, I do not know what it could be.

-God puts us where we need to be.
