26. September 2007: Kudos!

I am writing this to express my extreme satisfaction and thanks to Renee Walsh, Walsh Law PLLC. I am a single parent who like many, have had a great deal of difficulty in dealing with The Friend Of The Court. I was fortunate enough to come across this website and have the question I posted as well as many others answered by Renee with a great deal of courtesy, compassion and kindness. The information I obtained from her has proven to be of more value than I am able to adequately express here. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who finds themselves in need of legal assistance.

Many thanks,

Kelli B.

To Renee Walsh:

I am writing to you about the answer you provided me today regarding my lease termination & the extra penalty fees my apartment complex was trying to charge me. I took the answer you posted on the website to the management to argue the point that my lease does not state anything about "market value" price and paying those extra penalties. The complex admitted that the lease should have stated that price but did not due to an error on their end. They fixed my lease termination paperwork and now they're only charging me the two months rent which is what was stated in the original lease.

Because of your help, you saved me over $1600 in extra fees that I may have had to pay had I not received your guidance! I can't thank you enough for that and I plan to give a glowing review because of it!

Sincerely,
Janel Webster

This topic is really related to juveniles and their parents, but it can be correlated to adults cooperating with police as well. I have seen juveniles end up in serious trouble, more than necessary, because their parents allowed too much police cooperation. The scenario involves ...More
