Brief History / Commitment To My Clients:

“My court order for shared parenting time with my daughter was unclear. My controlling ex-wife and I were constantly disagreeing as to what it meant. There was no working it out. I needed an attorney who would take the time to iron out every possible detail in the parenting schedule so there could be no doubts as to who had care and control of our daughter and when. Denise M. Motroni, family law attorney from Wallin & Klarich, took the time necessary to understand my goals and to create a detailed agreement that my reluctant ex and her attorney signed. Now I can plan activities for myself and my daughter without worrying that my ex will interfere!”

Thanks,

“I was breaking up with a difficult girlfriend, who surprised me with an unfounded Temporary Restraining Order.  Her allegations were completely untrue.  Instead of rolling the dice and possibly getting an untrue finding of domestic violence against me, not to mention incurring the cost of a trial, my family law attorney from Wallin & Klarich, Denise M. Motroni, arranged for the matter to be handled out of court with a written agreement between myself and my ex.  Everyone was happy!”

Thank you,

-H. A.

“I needed an attorney who would listen to my child visitation and support concerns and help me figure out the best way to get what I needed for my child and our relationship. I found that attorney in Denise M. Motroni, as associate with Wallin & Klarich. My interaction with the other parent is very bitter so I needed an order that was “hyper–specific,” stating the exact times and dates of my parenting time with our daughter; no room to misinterpret. Ms. Motroni understood my needs and made sure that each step of the new order was clear and concise. Further, she spent the time necessary to work with the opposing counsel and agree on what issues could be stipulated, leaving only the “hotly contested” issues to be heard by the court. In the end, besides a clarified visitation plan, Ms. Motroni was able to demonstrate that the other parent earned more money than she was claiming and that I was earning less money than she was claiming! Thus, my child support was reduced to a more reasonable amount. Ms. Motroni was even able to persuade the court that it was perfectly reasonable and in the best interest in my daughter that she be allowed to vacation with me out of the country – something the other parent swore would never be allowed! If you need and attorney who will listen to your concerns and really advocate for your position, I highly recommend Ms. Motroni at Wallin & Klarich.”

Client Testimonial:
I was recently laid off from work and needed to get my child support agreement modified. The new job I found paid me about half of what my old job paid and I simply couldn’t afford my old payments anymore. My ex-wife wasn’t having any of it. Denise was so helpful and understanding. She worked really hard to make sure that a new agreement was reached allowing me to continue to pay all of my bills. I don’t know what I would have done without Denise.”

“I would recommend Denise to anyone who needs help in a dependency matter. I like her tenacity and she fights for justice. Denise is a great person and changed what had gone wrong in my wife’s case. My wife had everything go bad with her prior attorney, God led us to Denise and she has done more than enough for us.”

“Thank you so much for helping my husband and I defeat the restraining order from my sister. Without your help, I’m not sure what the outcome would have been. It was important for us to be prepared in court. With the help of you and your legal assistant, we were able to go to court with confidence. Naturally, we will tell our friends about the good service that your firm has provided. Best wishes to you and your team.”
