Part of being a strong advocate for her clients is being a good listener, according to Chevelle D. Douglas.

"This is important when gaining true insight into each client’s particular and unique situation," Ms. Douglas said. "By understanding my client’s perspective, I am able to effectively advocate their position."

Presenting her clients in the best and most accurate way possible is key to having success in family law, particularly in child custody cases because of the subjective nature of the “best interest of the child” standard, she said.

"Family law litigation can be very unpredictable," Ms. Douglas said. "However, I have a track record of being able to effectively handle the peaks and valleys of family law litigation."
