Client Testimonials
Hear From Our Clients
“When allegations were made to DSS regarding my husband and I, we were referred to BPW. There has not been a day that has passed in the now 2 year battle for my children where I didn’t thank God that we DID call not only an attorney but these wonderful women in particular. Sydney and Shannon guided us through this process with superb legal advice as well as genuine compassion and concern for our family.”
Shawna – CPS Client
“Patrick was calm and rational. He wasn’t trying to be a psychologist, he wasn’t trying to think like a judge, and he wasn’t trying to become my friend. Patrick advocated for me, and made sure my ex’s long-winded ramblings were efficiently cut to pieces with targeted questions. In the end, we did better than even he expected. My case has very high CPS involvement and Patrick understood the complexities in a way an average family law attorney does not.”
Melissa DA – Custody Client
“This firm represented me in an assortment of issues ranging from a wrongly filed domestic violence protective order, to a messy divorce with custody and property issues. At every turn I got the results I wanted. I worked with several attorneys in the firm and there was always someone available to talk with me if I had questions. Great attorneys, would recommend to anyone needing help with family or criminal issues.”
J.B. – Divorce Client
“I retained the services of Sydney Batch to provide representation in my daughter’s very complex and contentious divorce and custody battle. Every expectation was met or exceeded and the outcome was as good as possible under the trying circumstances. Sydney and her staff were patient, understanding, encouraging and thorough from start to finish.”
Wade – Child Custody/CPS Client
“Been a Batch, Poore and Williams client for the past two years. This is an honest firm that won’t nickel and dime you, that fights hard for their clients. Would highly recommend their services to anyone undergoing a custody dispute or divorce.”
