What should I do to help my case? 

We often recommend that, as soon as a client begins a legal matter, to turn off all social media. This helps to protect you through the process, as the opposing sides often attempt to use public posts against you. Trust our recommendations for your case, as we are experienced litigators and know the best strategies for any legal matter.

  • “Top Notch Service!!”
    Chris Janelle was there for our family when we needed him. Very professional inside and outside the courtroom, knows the law and handled our case with nothing short of excellence. During our consult, he informed us how the hearing would most likely go. Come hearing date, he executed every step with confidence and professionalism, with outstanding results. Followed just like a playbook. He eased our minds and even met with us unannounced. We pray not to have to go to family court again, but if we ever do, we will have Chris Janelle on speed dial! From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you Mr. Janelle.

  • “In two separate cases, Mark well exceeded my hopes in one and met them in another.”
    If you want wood-paneled office walls, posh client accommodations, and sky-high fees to help pay for those and other unnecessary things, Mark Sutton and his office are not for you. On the other hand, if, as I did, you want an able, experienced attorney who knows the people who need to be known in the court system and who seeks not just good but the best results, then Mark Sutton is your guy. In two separate cases, Mark well exceeded my hopes in one and met them in another. I could not have asked for more in terms of his getting things done and keeping the client's interest foremost.
