Dear Bill,

I just wanted to thank you for all your help handling Dana's case. I felt that you did a wonderful job. You are the most caring lawyer I have ever had the pleasure of working with or known. The time and effort that you put into this case was outstanding. In my experience with lawyers, I have found that in most cases, they are very uncaring because they go through this kind of thing all the time. However, I felt that you really cared about the kids, Dana and myself, and at a time like that it is very important to have an attorney that you feel really cares. I will definitely be recommending you to anyone I know who may need a family law attorney. There is no way that I can ever thank you enough for your help, caring and understanding. Deepest thanks and best wishes.

Sincerely,

Michelle

Dear Sir:

This letter is to express my heartfelt appreciation for all your help throughout my case. Everything went smoothly during and after the trial, as you and your staff had planned. Seeing Mr. Fuhrman present the case and cross-examine two witnesses skillfully, I was amazed and fascinated. From my point of view, he is truly a born lawyer. He handled the case so well that the two witnesses had no choice but to testify truthfully, if reluctantly. As a result, he established the elements of the case even though they were denied in the response. Thanks to the task performed by good lawyers like Mr. Fuhrman, our constitution is vigorously protected and safeguarded. Please remember that money alone cannot compensate for all the hard work you did for my case. If I know someone needs the best lawyer in town, I will definitely recommend you, Mr. Fuhrman.

Sincerely,

John

Lawyer colleague:

Bill has a feel as to when to "stand tough" and when to "settle." I believe him to be an efficient lawyer and an effective advocate.

Recent Case Examples

In 2005, while out of town for the weekend, Mr. Fuhrman was reached by telephone by a mother of two young children frantic with concern for their welfare. She had just learned that her husband of 10+ years had sexually abused her daughter and her son had seen him try to do so again. Mr. Fuhrman successfully terminated the father's paternal rights and negotiated a transfer to the children, principally the daughter, nearly 100% of the father's interest in all of the community property, including his 401(k).

In 2008, Mr. Fuhrman persuaded the court to place custody with his client of his young daughter and son after demonstrating that their mother's interest in reliving her youth with a new boyfriend compromised her judgment as a parent.

In 2002, Mr. Fuhrman overcame the challenge by his client's former attorney spouse to her move out of state with her three daughters and husband of three years, whose business opportunities were greater in Oregon.

In 2008, Mr. Fuhrman enforced his client's prenuptial agreement and secured full custody for his adopted daughter in a case that required Mandarin translation in pre-trial and trial proceedings.

In 2006, the autopsy of a 3-month old revealed a 3" fracture of the skull and the pathologist opined that the blow to the skull was struck within 15 minutes of death. Father was charged with causing his daughter's death during mother's absence from home because the mother had left for work almost one hour earlier. Mr. Fuhrman was convinced his client did not kill his daughter, particularly because of the contrast between father's demeanor and mother's demeanor on many hours of videotaped police interviews, as well as some of mother's past actions. After consulting three pathologists who could not refute the prosecution's pathology evidence that only father was with his daughter during the "window of time" that death was caused, Mr. Fuhrman engaged a widely respected Univ. of Southern California neuropatholgist. That expert re-examined the evidence and showed that the blow to the skull could have been struck hours before death . . . consistent with mother having struck the blow. As a result, father was released from jail and the charge against him dismissed.
