Rennie Phillips Law, LLC

Rennie was the GAL for my divorce case, and I can't recommend her highly enough. I felt like she did a good job hearing both sides' POV and keeping a holistic approach. My case involved sensitive subjects from my marriage -- including some things that didn't reflect positively on me specifically... I felt I could be honest with Rennie; I never felt judged by her, and never regretted telling her something. That was extremely validating and a bright spot in an otherwise very difficult divorce. Overall, she was direct but fair and tried to foster respect and civil communication between us. That made it easier to accept her recommendations even if it wasn't something I had wanted per se. Her presence also probably greatly assisted us in settling on an agreement without needing to go to court. I felt a lot better about the divorce and final agreement knowing that my child had an advocate separate from either my or my ex's lawyers. Rennie always responded quickly and was easy to get ahold of, and was willing to go above and beyond to help accommodate certain requests in my agreement (being present at a number of the initial custody exchanges / personally doing a lot of mediation, not to mention responding to questions and things that came up over the holidays when we couldn't reach our lawyers!). I highly recommend Rennie as a GAL, or individual lawyer.

Rennie may have been appointed as attorney ad litem by my ex wife’s lawyer and my lawyers request. It was clear from our first encounter that she had her own agenda. My children trusted her and she let them down. She eventually started leaving odd voicemails and insinuations that I had to send to my own lawyer. The only thing I will say is she doesn’t cost much, but she didn’t do much either so I guess that’s fair.
