Mother is Successful After Retaining Cantor Simon The Day Before Trial

In a Post-Decree matter, Father filed a Motion to Modify Custody, Parenting Time and Child Support in December, 2008. Father alleged that Client/Mother was unable to properly care for the children or provide a stable environment. After Father filed his Motion, Client/Mother failed to appear for a temporary Orders Hearing in January, 2009. At the hearing, all 4 of her children were taken away and placed in Father’s primary custody in an entirely different county. The matter was also set for a final trial regarding permanent Orders for August, 2009. At the close of business the night before the trial, Client/Mother retained CANTOR SIMON LAW GROUP for representation at the trial the following day. Since Client/Mother did not have previous counsel, no exhibits, pretrial statement or pretrial motions were submitted to the Court on her behalf. Brandy met with the Client/Mother for 1 ½ hours the morning of the trial and traveled to Court almost immediately thereafter. Upon arriving at Court, Brandy learned that Client/Mother also did not appear for two (2) additional Court-Ordered conferences. At the trial, Father was prepared with an outline and multiple exhibits to present to the Court. However, despite having been retained less that 24 hours earlier, having little to no time to prepare and appearing at trial without exhibits, Brandy was able to get all of Client/Mother’s children immediately returned to her custody. The case was opened and concluded in less than 1 week and the Client/Mother could not have been more pleased.
