After a diverse practice, Darnell has chosen to focus on family law. He believes family law gives him the best chance to help clients and let his skills shine. He strives in high pressure situations and dealing with difficult people. This makes family law the perfect area for him.
Darnell puts the needs of his client’s first. It is critical for him to understand your story to tailor his services to your needs. Darnell believes in educating on the process, options, and risks, to empower you to make great decisions about your case.
To get you the best value, Darnell has a modern virtually paperless practice. He urges cost effective options like 4-way meetings, mediation, and compromises, only using litigation when necessary. He has experience with multi-week jury trials for 7 figure amounts and his reputation has him often consulting on other lawyer’s trials.
Darnell’s clients are important to him only secondary to his own family. He often works late after his kids are in bed with the support of his wonderful wife. At work he is supported by the amazing Brandi Foy, designated paralegal, and Lucy, a dog.

What people are saying
“I stumbled across a Family Law Recovery ad on Facebook... decided that I needed help & my divorce needed to get done after 5 years. My initial consultation was with Darnell & he is absolutely amazing & to the point about what needs to be done. All my files were given to Nidhi; she worked fast and efficiently and kept me informed at every turn. She kept me on track and in the loop on the next steps. I am so thankful for these two and I am sure anyone you choose in that office will be nothing short of absolutley amazing! From the bottom of my heart, thank you so so much!” - September 2024
