Allie Moore is truly an incredible lawyer and a wonderful person. From the moment I reached out to her, she treated me with kindness, patience, and respect. She took the time to really listen to my concerns and walked me through everything step by step, always making sure I understood and felt supported. Her dedication to my case and genuine care for my well-being went far beyond what I ever expected. Allie made me feel like I wasn’t just a client, but someone she truly cared about. I can’t thank her enough for all she’s done, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who needs not just an excellent lawyer, but also a compassionate advocate.

Connor Green provided exceptional representation during my divorce, guiding me through one of the most difficult periods of my life with professionalism, clarity, and genuine care. From the very beginning, it was clear that Connor approaches family law with empathy at the center of his practice. He took the time to understand my situation, explain my options, and make sure I felt supported every step of the way. His skill in legal writing and his ability to break down complex issues made the process far less overwhelming. Connor’s collaborative style helped keep communication smooth and productive, and I always felt like he was truly advocating for my best interests. What stood out most was his calm, steady presence during emotionally charged moments—he never lost sight of the human side of the case. I’m deeply grateful for the meaningful difference he made in my life. Anyone looking for a family law attorney who is both highly competent and genuinely compassionate would be fortunate to work with Connor.

Going through a custody case was very stressful, but Waneta Ellis and the rest of the staff there made the process much easier. Very responsive and informative, and genuinely cared about the outcome for my family. Could not be more satisfied!

We chose Kayleigh DavenPort again for our son’s adoption case after successfully closing our TPR case with her. Just as Kayleigh was responsive and extremely diligent in the TPR case, she took us seamlessly from TPR to adoption. She immediately began work on our case and was super efficient in getting us through the process for a successful stepparent adoption. Her trustworthiness and dependability never wavered during our cases. We would trust her over again!

I'd give 10 stars to Janet and her amazing team! Connor Green was the perfect lawyer for my child custody case. Connor was amazing throughout this challenging process! Always keeping his eye on the prize and never allowed the opposing counsel to intimidate us! He was so focused, persistence and professional- following the law and keeping my autistic son's best interest at heart from start to finish! Because of this I never had to go to trial, and I got what I wanted out of my child custody case! Janet and Connor kept me in check during the craziest time of my life by being consistent!! The team is informative, professional and gave me 110%. Connor is unlike any other lawyer while at our calendar call, he was the only lawyer that was present in the moment and kept his phone in his pocket when he was talking to me! My first lawyer never did this let alone gave me their full attention! DO NOT WASTE your money on any other lawyer! If you want a lawyer that will fight for not only you but have the best interest of your child, while following the letter of the law, then you need to hire Janet and her team and ask for Connor Green!
