Seeking Aggressive, Scary Lawyer

She needs to call Mark Rosenfield. He practices Family Law (does many divorces) and other forms of law. He will not allow her husband to intimidate her or try to take her child. He is ruthless in a good way. His phone number is ###-###-####. She can google him to get more information. They say that most women want him and give him a retainer before their husbands can. That is how well he handles divorces. We had an acquaintance that we recommended him to and after dealing with Mark, her husband decided it wasn't worth getting a divorce and tried to get back with his wife back. She can set up an interview to talk to him to get his fees and any feedback she needs.

I would suggest she check out www.necollab.com. If she gets an attorney who is mean and scary down at the courthouse, the divorce is going to be mean and acary, the husband is going to be meaner, scarier and angrier and all of them- wife, husband and child- are going to suffer the ill effects of a mean and scary divorce for years to come. It is possible to diffuse this stuation through a process called Collaborative Law. After many, many years as a family law paralegal I have found that Collaborative Law works amazingly well in high-conflict cases and the process itself takes away the bully's power and equalizes it within the divorcing couple. It's really easy to do mean and nasty things across the expanse of a courtroom or behind the scenes. It is a lot harder for someone to do/say those things from across a table while looking the other person in the eye. They have a child and therefore will have to deal with each other for years to come - the collaborative law process will give them the tools to do so. Call me and I'll tell you more. ###-###-####

A tip I've heard about finding a divorce lawyer: meet with as many as possible for consultations. Once you've met with them they cannot represent the other person... that could be just as vengeful when the guy can't find a lawyer to represent him....

Hi J.,
I am not sure if this lawyer is scary, but he doesn't take any bull and he comes widely recommended. His name is Buddy Luce. He is located in Southlake, TX.
Here is his website.

My husband is a lawyer and can do what it is that you are inquiring about. He can help you if you are in the state of Tx. Let me know :) A.

J. -- Don't have a name for you, and unfortunately, if you're in Tarrant County, it gets even worse as court dates can take a year or more! When she finds a lawyer have them put the case on a fast-track -- that may help, but even documenting events doesn't seem to help. The courts are so overwhelmed they are just trying to get to the next case. A restrating order can cost about 1000 and it doesn't do anything unless there is an incident!

Good luck.

J.

Ask for Dawn Fowler. She is actually board certified. On several committees for the state. She is was also named into the top 40 lawyers in the state. Not just DFW but all of Texas. When my ex-husband got nasty and tried to sue me, she helped me. He ended up terminating his rights. She seems soft and easy going. But has a huge reputation in the court room.

I just wanted to tell you to try to get a woman lawyer.I have found in the past that this works better for us women.

Hi J.,

I don't have a lawyer, but wanted to add that your friend can make phone calls to women's shelters and ask them for advice on leaving a potentially abusive husband. Catholic Charities runs a great shelter. Their phone number is ###-###-#### .

Peace and Joy,

Hi J.,

Wow, sounds very scary for you, I pray that you are able to do what you need to do, to be safe through all of this. I don't know what part of town you live in, but I used to work in a law office recently for a crim. defense atty, and there was a Family Law atty. named Leslie Combs. She is small but is quite a little bull-dog if you ask me. She is very smart about the law and your rights and she fights for you through it all. She is very dedicated to her clients I have noticed. She is located downtown Ft. Worth, but works in all surrounding counties. Her Ph# is ###-###-####. She will give you a free 30min consultation. But I would use her in a heartbeat if I ever need a family law atty. I really respect her, and she is very honeset and her fees are VERY reasonable. If she charges you a $1000 retainer fee, lets say, and you only end up using $700 of she will refund the other $300. And she always is up front. I just think she's great!!!! And Im pretty sure she is WELL respected at the courthouse and by her peers! Sorry to ramble on..I just think it will be worth it to call and set up a free consultation. And I know she does a lot of work at the Womens Haven and other shelters and can prob. give you a ton of advise on preparing to do this! GOOD LUCK...I pray it works out for you!!

I am not sure about a Attorney but our church has a special place for women and children in your same situation in fact a friend of mine has stayed there. It's called Open Arms womens shelter here is the # to our church ###-###-#### and the web sight is www.rhchurch.org they might even be able to help you with a attorney.
Good luck
