This is a lengthy review, to cut to the chase let me start by giving my highest recommendation to David J Crouse and Associates for their dedication and determination!
I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Heather Hoover and Legal Assistant Ms. Elizabeth Petrik. I live out of state and needed their assistance in getting custody of my two amazing children who were in a home that wasn t providing to their most basic needs.
I was raised to believe the outcome for a father seeking custody of his children was bleak at best. My wife and I spent too long debating whether or not we had a case and couldn t imagine not taking action anymore, after all, my children's success and happiness in life is a deathbed moment for us. I was unsure of my rights and if I could even get the courts to agree to a major modification, as they are very difficult without the knowledge of a good attorney and good cause for modification.
Ms. Hoover, however, quickly enlightened me to the possible results for my case. Every question I posed to her was responded to without hesitation (this no doubt eased my worrisome mind throughout the process). She is strong and passionate about her work, her knowledge of the law is truly vast. I remember being on a conference call during mediation and the mediator gave me doubts on some of the issues at hand. Ms. Hoover believed the mediator to be incorrect and brought my worries to resolve (just so you know, she was correct).
Not only does Ms. Hoover have a strong understanding of the law, but she also knows the local law community. From mediators to guardian ad litem to commissioners to judges and fellow attorneys. Her knowledge and large social law circle gives her an immense advantage over any other attorney in my opinion. She knows the right people to help YOUR specific situation.
An integral part of the team, Ms. Petrik is wonderful. She always took the time to answer my questions, no matter how many of them I emailed to her and her knowledge of the law is outstanding. I honestly felt like I was talking to a concerned friend on the phone, a friend who would not only here my issues, but was also able to get me back on the right track. During the process she helped solidify my belief that I was doing what was right, even if it was the harder path to walk. Ms. Petrik is fantastic at her job and I believe Ms. Hoover couldn t have better support. These two are an unstoppable team!
From the first moment we talked on the phone, they were on my side. I felt like all the issues that brought me to them were finally validated. I finally felt like my children might have a chance in this world to be their very best. How could I ever thank them enough?!
Being thousands of miles away during the process was a big concern for me. I felt I wanted to be able to represent myself by being present at all the proceedings, to be able to show my sincerity in my concern for my children. I would not trust anyone else, except Ms. Hoover and Ms. Petrik to represent me, my interests and the safety/well-being of my children. Thank you for your drive, for standing up for my family, you excel at your professions!
I no longer have to wish I would have tried to fight for my children, they are with me now and thanks to the team at David Crouse and Associates, with my last breaths, I ll know I did everything I could for my children! No words can express my gratitude, my life is brighter and more beautiful because of you both. Thank you.
