Layne and Heather's previous 5-star reviews were spot on. We couldn't say it any better except to us this was their most important case of their career. They fought hard to get our 3 preciouses 3-, 4-, and 5-year-oid grandchildren out of the Foster Care System which is a very daunting tasks once they are placed into the system. We could never repay them for the dedication, communication, knowledge, and honesty throughout the whole process. Thank you, Layne and Heather!

Layne isn't just a lawyer and Heather isn’t just his assistant. They are your legal advocates and partners in / out of the court room. I had a somewhat complicated child support and family court case. I worked with other lawyers in the past and easily paid three times as much for less than stellar results. I reached out to Layne and explained my legal situation. His assistant Heather was extremely helpful and accommodating to me having to cancel several times. During a free consultation Layne explained his very fair fee structure and his approach. Layne has experience working for both the plaintiff and defendant. So, he knows how each side thinks and how to navigate the court system and judges. Layne / heather were very responsive via email and phone. Layne would break down complex legal terminology and procedures into simple understandable terms. He prepares you for what expect in court and lays out the various scenarios and options.

When I first met Layne I was delinquent on payments and full of indignation toward my ex. I had gone through my divorce in a state of shock and emotional distress, which led me to give up everything without considering how difficult life would become after the fact and felt I had been cheated. He did not judge me, he listened and helped me with what I was going through, and explained to me the circumstance I was facing. He was knowledgeable, fair and provided me a frame work to build a mindset that was focused on feeling that I mattered to my kids, and was not just a mistake someone had made. I would recommend Layne to whomever is going through what I feel is one of the worst things anyone can go through. I just wish I knew of him before I had gone through my divorce the first time

When I couldn't turn anywhere else, Niles and his firm took it into their hands to help me get out of a tight situation. I google'd the best attorney for my situation and his name popped up everytime. He has reassured me multiple times that nothing is impossible and I couldn't agree more after everything they've helped me with. If you need someone to promptly get on your case and give you the best results possible, this is where your search ends. I can't thank you enough for everything you've done. This is the firm I will be choosing to help me from now on.

In my child custody case, Layne was not only extremely knowledgeable. He was great at keeping me informed of my case progress and making sure I understood each step. If you're seeking legal help as a child custody client, call Layne today.

I had a very nasty divorce involving a bipolar wife who claimed her lawyer had told her she could take all my kids if she accused me of sexual abuse; four biological children and a foster child taken in after another couple’s adoption had failed. I wanted to protect my children from having to see their parents duke it out in court but also protect them from the neglect and emotional abuse they were suffering from their mother. Layne did a fabulous job of understanding what my own priorities were and of helping me find the best way to patiently work through the process in order to achieve those goals. I can’t imagine what I would have done without Layne Adams Law!!!
