I found Gayle and her team to not only be professional and capable, but compassionate as well. They took a difficult, trying time for me and made it bearable by thoroughly explaining the process of my divorce every step of the way. And not only that, but Gayle and her team have continued to reach out to me with additional resources to assist in my life post-divorce. I really appreciate all they did for me and HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who needs a great divorce attorney.

I consulted with Gayle pertaining to help with child custody dispute and she offers wonderful advice. If you need help with a divorce or a child custody dispute, Gayle is the only person you need to speak with to address your issues discreetly.

Three years ago, I found myself in a situation I never thought I would be in, where I needed to seek legal representation for a child custody agreement for my two young boys (ages 5 and 2 years old) between me and my children's father. A good friend and family counselor recommended Rider Goodwin Law and Gayle Moser. Feeling terrified, alone and not knowing how to navigate a relationship with my children's father, Gayle gave me the tools and the courage necessary to stand up for myself and begin the legal process. She and her team were extremely helpful, reaching out by email and phone to send meeting and deadline reminders, which was completely necessary for me due to my hectic schedule as a single, working mom. Gayle explained hard-to-understand legalities and advised me every step of the way. She created a parenting plan based on her knowledge and a small amount of input from me. She created a positive and safe environment for me and my children's father to communicate effectively. We were able to come to an agreement without going to court and mediation, saving much needed time and money. I am overcome with gratitude and emotion while writing this review because I feel so indebted to Gayle.

Gayle was my second attorney hired and she understood my position from the very beginning. Gayle uncovered mistakes made by others in finances that tipped the scales in my favor through her very detailed work. Gayle was also very on-task and focused during out lengthy arbitration hearings and didn't miss a beat. In all, I got what was best for me and my child who has special needs.

Gayle helped me clean up a very tricky situation. Since family separation is a stressful situation, it was comforting to have someone that is knowledgeable and respectful and had my back all the way though. My son and I will always be grateful on how she helped us out. There is all smiles in my house now.

Most recently Gayle helped in my relocation case and I’m so happy that both my kids will be relocating with me. Gayle has kept in touch throughout the years with Christmas cards and emails. She makes me feel like I’m more than just case number. Working with Gayle has been such a pleasure. She was patient and listened with compassion to my situation. Through my many sobbing moments she was able to pull out important facts and defend my custody case with an organized presentation of facts. Gayle has always had strong arguments based on facts and backed by evidence. This is why I have retained her services on more than one occasion and refer her to others needing help.

I was accused of inappropriate behavior by a vindictive ex. I was innocent (and Gayle proved this in court) but still scared to death. I knew that if I chose the wrong counsel I could be in a lot of trouble. Gayle was very meticulous in every single aspect of my case. She knew exactly who to subpoena, what questions to ask and, most important, how to put me at ease. My case was won hands down! Since nobody knows what the future holds I make sure and keep Gayle’s contact information close by, you never know when you may need a true professional.

From the beginning Gayle has been wonderful, driven and motivated. Gayle not only helped me with everything I needed, she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect when presented to the courts. If there is anyone you want in your corner it is this amazing woman. She has not only helped me over months but years. I have been through a child custody battle since 2011 and it wasn't until later in 2013 I was blessed to have Gayle step in. I am blessed to have had her as my lawyer and would recommend her to everyone. If I haven't said blessed enough this woman is truly amazing with all the hard work she put in over the years. THANK YOU GAYLE!!

I was referred to the law firm by a friend and glad I took the advise. Gayle was realistic and comforting during such a trying time. She was professional and didn't leave a stone unturned, when the was uncertainty running through my brain. Was a very smooth divorce and would absolutely send friends and family her way, if advice or legal help is needed. Can't thank Gayle and her team enough!!

I am grateful for the staff of the Rider Goodwin Law Firm in helping me out through my complicated and contested divorce. I first learned of the firm from a non-profit organization that provides referrals and resources to for victims of domestic violence, and the firm is known for their pro bono work in helping survivors of abuse. I had hastily chosen my first family law firm once realizing I had become the victim of crimes in my marriage, and I did not feel completely comfortable with my first firm to handle my complicated case with many legal layers. When I met with Kelley, she was very informative and friendly and assured me that her method of practice is to inform her clients so that they can make the best decisions for their own situation. I felt relieved after meeting her, and I trusted her and her firm at a gut level. They did not prove me wrong. Gayle Moser was the attorney who handled my case, and her working knowledge of the system was very helpful in guiding my decisions and getting a good outcome for my case. The firm always had the safety of my children and myself at the forefront, and Gayle was quick to respond and guide me when more stressful safety concerns arose. We were able to reach a settlement agreement out of court, which was likely the best outcome for all involved as it allowed us. Gayle and Kelley were always respectful, supportive, patient, and compassionate in their work with me, and I know that they worked hard on my behalf. I highly recommend the firm for anyone looking for a family lawyer, and I plan to continue to work with them in the future should any matters arise with my family in the future. I know they have my back!
