Vail Family Law & Mediation PLLC

Thrilled to update this from one star to five and report not only did Bob respond to my husband's concerns in a very timely manner, but he is going to have an amended decree filed to decrease conflict and confusion as well as changing all future drafts from his office to address this issue. I give huge props to anyone who is proactive in decreasing sticking points in family law. There are way too many. It is my hope this can still be resolved positively, but we shall see what response comes from my husband's complaint. My husband's ex-wife wanted a modification of child support as is the option of either party after 3 years in the state of Idaho. Mr. Vail was contracted by the state to complete the documentation. My husband and I reviewed the terms of the petition served and although not favorable to us, they were roughly what we expected based on previous experience. We determined to allow the 21 days to lapse which would trigger the petition to become the final order. We received the order which was filed with the court today and a significant portion was removed from the petition before filing the order which would have made the other party partially financially accountable for specific needs of the child. My husband was not notified of this change and did not consent to it being made. We are absolutely horrified. This doesn't happen by accident. Hopefully Mr. Vail and his office have some recourse to make this right.

A little background. I am a baby boomer raised by parents of what is commonly considered The Greatest Generation, and I grew up with those values. During my lifetime I've had occasion to work with two lawyers. I didn't write reviews for either of them, but if I had, I would have given them negative numbers if possible. So when I recently needed to hire an attorney for some legal work, I shopped around. The first two I spoke with on the phone left me very unimpressed, then just by luck I called the Vail Law Offices. After speaking with Rob Vail on the phone, I made an appointment to meet at his office. His receptionist was friendly and courteous. Rob was also friendly, attentive and great about answering all my questions. Based on price, knowledge, expediency, professionalism and likeability, I would award Rob Vail an A+ or in this case a 5+. I would definitely recommend him to any friend needing legal counsel.

I worked with Rob on some post divorce concerns and issues. Rob was very knowledgeable of the laws in Idaho. He had great insights from his past and ongoing experience. He was very genuine and sincere in his concern for not only me, but what was fair and equitable for both parties.
