Client Testimonial

Attorney Ruth Dwyer and Dolan Divorce Lawyers is an Angel 😇 from God! From the very start she took the time to listen and understand my case before taking it on. I went from not seeing my 7 year old son due do a very bitter mother who was withholding my toddler son from me because she had full custody and was the “Gate Keeper” in her words. His bitter mother was making so many false allegations and accusations against me to prevent me from seeing my son consistently. She was attacking my character, and integrity as a father because I didn’t marry her and moved on to my wife. Because of Ruth Dwyer’s experience and expertise with difficult cases like mine. She was able to prove to the court how great of a father I am and refute all of the false accusations and allegations against me from his bitter mother. Ruth Dwyer helped me to WIN joint custody and a fair consistent parenting plan that puts the best interest of my 7 year old son and me being able to be a great father to my son who is thriving now in school and under my care. We were able to settle out of trial because of Ruth Dwyer’s game plan and overwhelming evidence that proved I am a great father to my son. Every kid needs their father and if you are in the same situation I once was in. Please contact Ruth Dwyer and Dolan Divorce Lawyers to help you get your family back in order. -David G.
