Other Interesting Cases
» I represented a man in a case that made national news.
My client, with the assistance of my investigators, and after planning and having discussions with myself, entered into a daycare facility and took his child. The police, FBI and others were contacted immediately, with the mother screaming that the child had been kidnapped. The news reports were scathing. I contacted a local television anchor and told him to get me on the news. He did, and I explained that the mother had no contact with the child for years; that the mother essentially removed the child from the father and hid his son from him for months. I explained that the father’s actions were justified. My investigator and I were contacted by the police. We were sure criminal allegations were going to be filed against us for kidnapping. The end result was that the father received custody and all criminal charges were dismissed.
