Jenkins Law Firm
If the parents cannot agree on a mutually acceptable arrangement, either independently or with a mediator, a judge will set up a custody structure based on the child's best interest. He or she is free to consider any relevant factor that pertains to an individual's ability to help the child develop, such as a criminal record or a history of substance abuse. These can negatively affect both physical custody and legal custody. While physical custody concerns the actual time that each parent spends with the child, legal custody means the right to decide critical issues affecting the child's upbringing, such as those related to medical, educational, or religious matters. If one parent does receive primary physical custody of a child, the other parent can seek visitation rights.

Sentiment Analysis
I can’t say enough about that trait, because when you are a client facing incredibly stressful circumstances, such as a high-conflict divorce with extremely high conflict personalities, it means a lot to speak with someone who is personable and makes communication light and easy.
They were aggressive in their litigation with the petitioner and her counsel and made decisions that were in the best interests of my family and my child resulting in a 50/50 custody schedule.
I my case he was very firm, fair and consistent and looked out for my best interest but more important the best interest of my son with his recommendation and detail he presented in my case.
They stepped up with a cost friendly and appropriately fortified defense and got us an early dismissal in the early stages of the process.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jackie which is their senior paralegal and she’s been such a great help.
He handled my case with professionalism and kept me informed throughout the entire process to make sure that I understood what was going on at every step.
It was a pleasure watching him in court, calm, informed, professional and clearly more experienced than my ex's lawyer.
My last hearing with Basie and Fritz I got to the court and I was rudely told by Jeffery Fritz that he would be representing me that day because the attorney that had represented me in court for over 3 years had died a few days before.
I've been working with lawyers on a daily basis for over a decade and this man is the finest, most aggressive, yet most reasonable, attorney I've encountered.
During this stressful time, he not only put me at ease but he settled my divorce case in a timely matter.
