Ms. Brinkley helped me navigate a very complicated separation, divorce, and custody dispute. Ms. Brinkley provided empathic yet firm guidance. There were times when her answers were not what I wanted to hear; however, consistently favorable outcomes at hearings evinced wisdom in her counsel. Beyond achieving immediate aims in the courtroom, she helped me keep focus on long-term goals for my son and myself, as well as prospects for peaceful relations with my ex.
