The Nichols Law Firm wins one of the shortest custody trials in Ingham County history! A judge suspended the client’s custody in the spring of 2007 but the Nichols Law Firm came to the rescue. Lawyers from the firm attacked the affidavits supporting the opposing party’s motion, worked with the client on answering the charges and, after months of work outside the courtroom, went to court and went on the attack. That same judge dismissed the opposing party’s effort to change custody after an 18 minute trial. “It took some work outside the courtroom and some well-placed objections inside the courtroom to get the right result as quickly as we did in this trial. I was a little surprised that the other side was unable to respond to the objections and were so paralyzed but, on the bright side, one less hour in Court is just that much less that the client has to pay for at the end of the day.” The child involved is back with The Nichols Law Firm’s client.
