I originally hired a family attorney in Columbia, who said he would fight to keep my rights with my young daughter. After a month, this Columbia attorney stated that I should just settle and do 50/50 custody with my daughter's biological father.

HE WAS RIGHT!!! Scott kept me informed every step of the way and fought for me in the court room. I will…
