    Child Custody and Divorce Attorney Case- Phoenix, Scottsdale Metro Area, AZ

  • I had a difficult child custody case with my out of state ex-wife involving, among other things, her refusing to return our children to me. I hired RLG family law attorney Keith Berkshire based on a high recommendation from a friend of mine that does work with family law attorneys (who support child custody and divorce cases) valleywide in phoenix metro area, and I couldn’t have found a better family law attorney anywhere. Mr. Berkshire was sincerely interested in all aspects of what I was going through and was more than just an ‘attorney’, he really, genuinely cared about my situation. Mr. Berkshire was easy to talk to, easy to get a hold of, and was tenacious and stunningly effective in the courtroom. I had worked with 2 other family law attorneys before Mr. Berkshire and now know what a GREAT attorney can do! My case was resolved better than I could have ever hoped for. I highly recommend Keith Berkshire to ANYONE and will definitely be calling upon his services for any of my needs in the future......(Link)
  • Child Custody and Divorce Case- Phoenix, Scottsdale Metro Area, AZ

  • At the beginning of 2010 I was court summoned with child custody paperwork. After my divorce 5 years ago I didn’t know if I had the energy to do it again. My previous child custody attorney was no good so I didn’t want to use the same one. Searching for a good attorney is difficult anywhere including phoenix metro area az; luckily I was referred to Child Custody & Divorce Attorney, Carissa by a close friend.

    During my consultation I remember I told my family law attroney (located in scottsdale az) Carissa everything. New things had surfaced within the past 5 years and I explained these things to her. She took my case and explained cost and details and what she could do for me. I had hired my child custody attorney, Carissa on short notice and little time for her to prepare with the information that I had given her.

    I strongly believe that Carissa knew what was important for me and my child. She definitely took charge when speaking to the judge and the other attorney. There were several times where she would copy me on a response to the other party and I was very happy with her work. She showed that she was always on top of my child custody case, responding to the other party was professional and definitely on my side. Her work with deadlines was an eye opener for me. I honestly thought when the child custody case was closed she wasn’t going to check on the due dates given by the Judge. Making sure the other party holds up to their end of the agreement is important! I always felt as though I completed the Judge’s orders and I see the other party never did. I appreciate Carissa’s hard work and attention to detail. She definitely lowered my anxiety and showed me I can move forward with whatever the results may be for my family law & child custody case....... (Link)
  • Divorce Attorney Case- Phoenix, Scottsdale Metro Area, AZ

  • I had a complex divorce case that required a family law & divorce attorney who was a formidable adversary--Keith was that person for me. In my opinion, Keith was always two steps ahead of the opposing side. He was able to navigate through a myriad of legal issues such as child custody, the equitable distribution of multiple assets and the division of high dollar real estate. I admire Keith for his ability to never lose sight of the fact that there was a family at the heart of all of the legal issues and for his ability to maintain a professional demeanor at all times, even when I was not. I wouldn't hesitate for one moment, to recommend Keith......(Link)
  • Divorce & Child Custody Attorney Case- Phoenix, Scottsdale Metro Area, AZ

  • I was lucky enough to have been referred to Mr. Berkshire as an attorney for family law case after a horrific separation from my spouse and infant son. The family law case surrounding my divorce centered around two main issues. The first being child custody, and the second being parenting time. We needed to go to trial several times, and address a myriad of unfounded malicious attacks in an attempt to manipulate the issues. My spouse went through three different attorneys during the process. Needless to say, Mr. Berkshire has been one of the most important people in my life. His professionalism, integrity, and knowledge of family, divorce and child custody & support law are second to none. Again I can’t say how fortunate I’ve been to have Mr. Berkshire represent me with the most important family law issues of my life.......(Link)
  • Divorce & Child Custody Lawyer Case- Phoenix, Scottsdale Metro Area, AZ

  • My divorce case was very emotional due to the process being initiated when my daughter was just 3 weeks old. Keith (family law and child custody attorney) handled my case with compassion, while remaining objective in his advice around the complex and sensitive issues that came up so together, we could make the best decisions to resolve several harsh situations. Keith made my journey through the divorce process bearable due to his professionalism, compassion, and his savvy in the Court room when fighting for my best interests, and I was very happy with the outcome of my family law and divorce case!.......(Link)
  • Divorce & Child Custody Case- Phoenix, Scottsdale Metro Area, AZ

  • I first met Carissa Seidl in 2007 when I found myself facing a nasty divorce and child custody case. I had been married for 13 years to an aggressive, emotionally abusive man, and finally found the courage to leave & divorce him. We owned a fairly large business and had two small children, and I knew my soon-to-be ex- husband would hire the most expensive and best attorneys to take everything he could from me. I had never been involved in any legal proceeding prior to this, and found the process rather frightening. From our first meeting, I knew I found the right divorce and child custody attorney to represent me. I found Carissa to be of strong moral character, a hard worker, a great communicator, and well versed in the law. Carissa did well at easing my fears by explaining each step of the divorce process and the forms and filings that went along with it. She also took time to answer my many, ongoing questions and concerns. She did an excellent job at preparing me for trial and testifying. The entire process took almost a year, and during that time, Carissa never backed down to their demands. I was extremely pleased with the outcome of my divorce and child custody case. Today, I am happily divorced. I received a great settlement that will help secure my future, and have my children by my side. I couldn’t have asked for more. I highly recommend Carissa to anyone in need of family law assistance.......(Link)
  • Child Custody Case- Phoenix, Scottsdale Metro Area, AZ

  • As a parent, there is no worse feeling of helplessness than your child in desperate need…and no way to fill that need. In the world of Family Law, more often than not, it is the Children who are left to endure, and suffer the most. As a father, I felt I could only watch, as my 6 year old daughter struggled with issues, and events that even an adult would have had difficulty with. Alone, facing an unfriendly court system, hundreds of forms, and endless websites….the situation just seemed to grow more imposable by the day. Thomas Fuller once wrote “The darkest hour is just before the dawn” meaning…. there is hope, even in the worst of circumstances. Mr. Berkshire, and his team of Family law Attorneys gave me that hope with my child custody case. He was confident, knowledgeable, and was sure that he could help my daughter and I. Within a few months, I was granted the opportunity to give my little girl the life that she deserved.......(Link)
