"The way my GAL spoke to me felt like it was person-to-person, not client-to-attorney... They are actually an inspiration to me.
"Our GAL was always friendly, respectful, and good about getting back to me. They were very professional and treated my family with dignity."
"Our GAL takes things as they are and then does what they believe is best for the child, keeping their needs at the forefront."
