Janet is by far the best attorney I have ever dealt with. She is courteous, competent, values her clients and their time. She is very responsive and responds in a timely manner.
Would highly recommend CFFL! The entire office staff, support team, and especially Matt Greiger were more than just legal help during a very difficult family case. Matt is extremely knowledgeable, strategic, and is focused on winning for his clients. What was even more impressive was his support team and the office as their empathy, compassion, and understanding throughout the entire process was over the top!
Kayleigh Davenport recently represented me in a complicated, what felt like ever changing legal matter. Due to the circumstances of my case, it took nearly 8 months to resolve. I have had other attorney’s in the past and can say one of the things that set Kayleigh apart is that she genuinely listened to what I wanted to get accomplished. Without going into detail, what I wanted evolved over time and instead of feeling pressured by her, she made me feel confident in my own decisions. Her office was transparent from the beginning what the cost was going to be so there was not confusion. I highly recommend Kayleigh to anyone seeking a family law attorney!!!
The team was very professional and empathetic to my situation. Fortunately prior to executing my separation agreement my wife and I decided to reconcile. Ashley was very encouraging of this. This firm was great to work with.
I always have a great experience with CFFL. Conner Green is doing an outstanding job. He is very knowledgeable and is a tremendous help. Not only is he well organized, he demonstrates concern for his client. I recommend Conner Green at CFFL because of his hard work and dedication.

Wes was very understanding and easy to talk to. He helped guide me thru the process making all the steps easy and reassuring.
Professional and gave me a down to earth assessment as to the outcome of my case and got the results I wanted
Mr. Roy Jacob was SO helpful, even through a very complex situation. I appreciate his empathy, passion for his job, and direct/clear communication. A professional through and through.
I highly recommend Roy Jacobs for any divorce, custody, or child support case! He is by far the best attorney I’ve worked with or met, and I consulted with quite a few before meeting with him. He and his team stuck with me for over a year and I could not be more thankful for the work they put into my case(s). The team was always quick to respond to any questions I had, Roy made sure he had any and all information needed, and most importantly, he was 100% on top of everything in court. Nothing slipped through the cracks and he successfully got my family through an extremely stressful year. Highly recommend!
Janet is the most helpful, honest, caring and has the best interest for her clients. She responds in a timely manner and is very professional. She is definitely, by far, the best attorney I have ever dealt with. Thank you Janet

Areas Of Practice

Child custody and visitation are two of the most important issues that stem from a relationship failing, but they are not the only issues. Often with relationship dissolution the financial tensions are extreme. Managing retirement division through equitable distribution and cash flow between two homes through alimony is fraught with conflict. We take care to guide clients through the legal landscape, out of court negotiations, and in court processes that sometimes are needed when parties cannot agree.
