I came to Darci in panic as my ex-husband and father of my 2 kids was loosing all self control. He had already been effecting us for a decade due to his uncontrolled mental illness, however it had now turned to death threats, stalking and harassment in a consistent way. After hearing from other lawyers that I did not have enough to be awarded a DVRO, Darci assured me I had plenty of documentation and sure enough she got me a 5 year domestic violence restraining order which also gave me sole custody of the kids with only supervised visits between the kids and their dad. Later she helped me turn my legal separation into a divorce and after that she helped me get my Move Away request put through the court once I remarried and moved away to a different state. After my ex requested unsupervised time with the kids, something I knew was unsafe and both kids did not want, Darci helped me argue against a terrible court mediator who did not look at any of the 100+ pages of documentation showing the father was not safe and suggested I obtain a Custody Evaluator to more thoroughly review the situation and facts and make more informed and safer conclusions. I paid the money to that evaluator, which was not cheap, but so worth the money. Now their dad has substantive tasks he must accomplish before either me or the courts are OK with unsupervised time (26 weeks of anger mgmt, weekly therapy, psychiatry for meds, requiring more visits on his part to show effort, reunification therapy with the kids, etc). Beware of bad court appointed mediators, however Darci helped me immensely to sort through the tough decisions and emotions of the events and come to a conclusion that was safe and in the best interest for the children. This process was not cheap, but children never are and if you are going to pay for anything it should be for the well-being of your kids. I would definitely recommend Darci McKean for anyone dealing with the issues I mentioned above.
Darci was my attorney for a messy custody case that also involved DV and a protective order. She is amazing, and made THE difference in winning our case. Her professionalism, quality of work, and case management is superior to any other attorney I have ever worked with. She was able to grasp the situation quickly, understood the proper steps to counter his tactics, and handled them like a BOSS! Her declaration drafts and responses were always perfect and succinct, and she was extremely efficient with her time. She masterfully managed our case and I could not have asked for a better attorney. She is absolutely one of the very, very best!!
Darci was the best. Not only did she help me resolve the ridiculous motion my ex was filing, she did it so thoroughly that there was no argument from the other lawyer. Case withdrawn. Thanks again!
This lawyer plays tricks she hangs up on people she told me I had an expert a meeting the next morning for no reason and then when I went then she hung up on me and then when I went to find out where it was since she did not tell me since she hung up on me they said we don't do expect meetings on that day she's just I guess she's good if you ever but I think she's very unethical and her office is always vacant of clients.
This is the ONLY law firm I will recommend for divorce, custody and/ or restraining orders and associated child support. I highly recommend Darci!
