She Fought for Me and Got My Children Back
Single Father About to Lose Custody of His Children
“This was the hardest time of my life. My kids mean everything to me. The other side had unlimited resources and was a larger firm with multiple attorneys on the case. The fear of losing my children was worse than the four combat tours I’ve been through! Carrie knew what to do and created a comprehensive strategy to protect my parental rights and ensure the best interest of my children. Her professionalism and respect make her a warrior in the courtroom. All while keeping me at ease. You can’t get better service elsewhere. The judge ruled in my favor! Thanks to Carrie Foglesong!”

When You’re Facing a Family Law Case…
You'll be thinking about…how long this will take and how much it will cost.
The answer will depend on the reasonableness of all involved for a resolution, the efficient preparation of documents required for the case, execution of the case plan and overall strategy, and effective litigation when required.
Through it all, you want someone who cares about you, your family, and your future.
