Over three years ago, I was in the process of rebuilding my life after leaving a domestic violence situation that involved physical, financial, and verbal abuse. Even after leaving, the abuse continued through psychological and emotional means, the court system, and social media, especially because we share children. This has required ongoing protective orders, custody proceedings, and divorce hearings, many of which are still ongoing due to repeated filings and violations by the other party. Brooke Roman has been truly exceptional throughout this entire process. She consistently ensures that I understand what is happening with each case, what to expect next, and how matters will be presented in court. She listens carefully to my concerns and perspectives, provides clear and knowledgeable legal guidance in areas I had no prior experience in, and shows genuine compassion and understanding for the emotional toll this process takes. For anyone who has experienced domestic violence, whether children are involved or not, my advice is this: first, find safety above all else, and second reach out to Brooke Roman. She is not only an outstanding attorney but also an incredible human being, and I am deeply grateful for her support and advocacy during one of the most difficult seasons of my life.
