James hortsman,is one of the greatest lawyer ,I had great experience. He a family lawyer.thank for helping me with my case.

I’m writing this not just as a review, but as a testimony of pure joy and gratitude. After years of battling in court, losing over and over while fighting alone, the day I finally walked into that courtroom with my lawyer by my side was one of the best days of my life. And for the first time in what felt like forever — I walked out victorious, with custody of my son. For years, I went through so much with my son’s father. The constant manipulation, the lies in court, and the emotional weight of watching my child be caught in the middle of it all. There were days I felt powerless, hopeless, and overlooked. Every court date felt like another reminder of how broken the system can be for mothers trying to protect their children. But then, I met my lawyer James Hortsman. From the moment he took my case, things started to feel different. He listened. He believed me. He fought for me like no one else ever had. James didn’t just represent me in court — he stood beside me, giving me a voice when I felt like I didn’t have one. The day I left that courthouse with custody of my son was about more than a legal win. It was about reclaiming my peace, my motherhood, and my son’s future. It’s a moment I’ll hold onto for the rest of my life. To anyone going through a similar storm — don’t give up. Keep fighting. And if you can, get yourself a lawyer like James Hortsman. He changed my life.

Very good service and I would highly recommend!
