“I can live again. I don't have this constant black cloud hovering over me.”
When Hunter says those words, you can hear the weight that family conflict placed on his life. His story starts in a very different place: a nasty separation, confusion about how to choose a lawyer, and months of feeling like he had nowhere to turn. Today, he talks about hope, time with his kids, and the relief that followed a hard season.
In the video below, Hunter shares his journey in his own words — from feeling almost hopeless to finding a legal team he trusted.
From A "Black Cloud" To A First Phone Call
Hunter describes the early days of his separation as dark and overwhelming. He talks about a “very nasty separation” and the stress of hiring a lawyer for the first time. He did what many people do: he went to Google, picked someone, and hoped for the best. After several months, he says he “didn't receive the best legal advice” and they parted ways.
That experience left him feeling worn down and uncertain. He did not know who to trust or where to go next. When he went back to Google, he took a different approach. This time, he focused on reviews and asked people he knew for input.
A recommendation brought our name into the conversation. Hunter recalls hearing “we've heard really great things about Kersh Law,” and he noticed that our Google profile had “not one bad review.” The combination of strong feedback and a personal recommendation led him to call Kersh Law Firm, P.C. for an initial consultation.
He remembers that first contact clearly. On the phone with Josie, he felt “very comforting, very comfortable, warm,” and he says she made him feel “like this was the right choice from the very first phone call.” That early sense of comfort and respect reflects how we aim to greet every person who reaches out to us, especially when they already feel worn down by the process.
Why The First Meeting Made Such A Difference
After that first call, Hunter met with Josie and Shane. He does not focus on legal jargon or technical steps. Instead, he talks about how the meeting made him feel. When he walked out, he recalls that they had him feeling “so confident that he could help me, that there was no doubt in my mind that this was the right choice.”
That shift from doubt to confidence matters. Many clients come to us after a hard experience with a prior attorney or after trying to handle things on their own. They want clear guidance, but they also need to know that someone is listening and will stand beside them.
Hunter also mentions that from that point on, “every paralegal I've worked with has been great.” His words highlight something we value at Kersh Law Firm, P.C.: clients interact with more than just one attorney. They speak with paralegals, support staff, and different members of the legal team. Every contact should feel respectful and consistent, not rushed or dismissive.
Hopeless, Hopeful & Time With His Kids
Before he came to us, Hunter says he “felt almost hopeless” and that he “didn't get to see my kids a lot.” Those details cut to the heart of many family law matters. When someone feels distant from their children, every day can feel heavy, and it can seem like the process will never change.
In the video, Hunter explains what happened after the case moved into court. He shares that after the first court date, Shane and Christian “went in” and he “got my kids back. Half the time.” When they went back to court the next week, he says they had “the child support dropped completely.”
He describes the emotional impact in simple terms: “So quickly, I went from hopeless to hopeful.” He also says, “Without them, I don't know if there's anybody else around who could have done it as quickly as they could have. It was amazing.”
These comments come from Hunter’s own experience and his perspective on the pace and outcome of his case. Every case is different, and no prior result can predict what will happen in another matter. What we can control is our commitment to clear communication, steady guidance, and strong advocacy in the courtroom.
What Hunter’s Story Says About Our Approach
Hunter’s journey reflects several things we work hard to provide for every client who walks through our doors or calls our office:
- Warm, nonjudgmental first contact: His description of that first phone call with Josie as comforting, comfortable, and warm aligns with our focus on compassion without judgment.
- Team-based support: He mentions working with Josie, Shane, Christian, and several paralegals, which mirrors our collaborative approach to family law matters.
- Clear direction during hard times: The confidence he felt after his first meeting shows how we aim to give clients a sense of direction, not more confusion.
- Strong communication throughout: His praise for the staff and paralegals supports our priority on consistent updates and open conversations.
We know that family matters often arise during some of life’s hardest moments. Hunter’s words about feeling a constant “black cloud” capture this clearly. When he says, “I can live again,” he voices the relief many people hope to reach when they first contact us.
Why This Testimonial Matters If You Feel Stuck
Many readers may recognize parts of Hunter’s story in their own life. You may be going through a difficult separation, unsure how to choose a lawyer, or disappointed in how your matter has gone so far. You might feel like you hardly see your children or that your situation will never improve.
Hunter did not share a polished script. He talked plainly about how he felt, what led him to search for new counsel, and what changed for him after he made that call. That honesty makes his story meaningful for anyone standing at the same crossroads.
If you hear your own fears in his words — words like “nasty separation,” “almost hopeless,” or “black cloud” — you are not alone. His journey shows how a supportive legal team, clear communication, and strong courtroom advocacy can make a difference in how someone experiences the process.
