Wesley Kuhl:
Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
Going through a lengthy contentious divorce can be overwhelming especially when children are involved. Tonya MacBeth was great in guiding me through the process which seemed never ending and was always concerned about our best interest. She was fair yet aggressive, and in the end I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. Thank you Tonya!
