    "Drew was a knowledgeable, empathetic, and calming presence during the most difficult season of my life!"
    Drew was a knowledgeable, empathetic, and calming presence during the most difficult season of my life. He helped me navigate through a divorce process that took nearly a year and a half. Nobody wins in a divorce, but I felt that Drew helped me "win" by achieving the best and fairest results possible for my case.
