John Marriner Eccles
"Attorneys practicing in family law have two substantial roles. The first, of course, is to zealously advocate on behalf of the client. The second is to help the client through the difficulties often posed in the family law arena. Clients need more than an attorney - they need someone they can rely on to guide them through the whole process and help them transition toward their new lives."
- John Marriner Eccles
