A big shout out to Mr. Shaun Culbreath, Esq! My Father had passed and as his only child, I was under the assumption I could not inherit from his estate, with the exception of a Will naming me as a beneficiary. My parents had been married, but after their divorce my Step-Father adopted me. My birth certificate was changed and no longer had my biologically Father’s name. I did speak to a not-so great attorney, with him informing me that I had no claim on my Father’s estate, affirming my belief and assumptions. My Father had told my husband and me that he had no Will. So when a 30-year-old Will mysteriously appeared I was shocked. The estate was being divided between two old business acquaintances. I was to receive a small amount from an insurance policy. I needed to make sense of truth and fiction. Asking around, I was then referred to Attorney Shaun Culbreath. I am so grateful for his brilliance, his commitment to my cause and the determined perseverance to which he applied to my case. Estate issues, Will issues, adoption and crazy stories were all untangled. The case was one of a kind, and for that you need one of a kind, Shaun Culbreath! As a note, the opposing counsel was very impressed with the big-beautiful brief. We had an offer in one day! I did inherit a nice amount, thanks to my wonderful Attorney. Without hesitation, I recommend Shaun Culbreath as a highly effective, professional advocate.
Legal Genius!
During the last five years, I have been in a custody battle with my ex-husband. My ex was pretty much an absentee father for the first seven years of our child's life, and only came back into her life when she got Leukemia. During this time, my ex decided to get re-married to someone he met after returning to Sacramento. My child was mentally, emotionally, and physically abused by my ex and his new wife. My ex-husband left the military (approximately two years after re-entering our daughter’s life), and decided to take me to court to get his child support lowered and attempt to obtain custody of our daughter. During this time, he lied and attempted to hide the fact he had a severance pay equal to his yearly salary, and was receiving unemployment at the same time. My ex spent the money on home improvements and furniture for him, his wife, and stepchild, instead of saving the money to pay his monthly child support. Because my ex-husband was in the military, and had never been in trouble with the law, owned a home, and had a new spouse at home, he looked like a great guy on paper. Meanwhile, I am a single mother who was living in an apartment at the time, working full time, and earning my degree, so my ex thought he would look like a better caregiver for our daughter. My ex hired an attorney with over 35 years of Family court experience, and with a specialty in fighting for a father’s “parental rights,” and I hired Mr. Culbreath. Thanks to Mr. Culbreath's legal ingenuity, my ex was not able to hide his income and assets, and was ordered to pay a higher amount of child support than he did before he left the military. Mr. Culbreath was by my side through every attempt my ex-husband tried to get out of his financial and parental obligations to my daughter. Mr. Culbreath also obtained an order banning the stepmother from interfering with my daughter’s medical, educational, and religious needs, effectively making my ex take more responsibility for our daughter. Shaun also obtained a stipulation stating my-ex and his wife are not allowed to physically, mentally, or emotionally, degrade or abuse my daughter any longer. To make an already long story, short; my ex-husband went through two more experienced Family Law Attorneys’, and Mr. Culbreath chewed them up and spit them out (figuratively), in court. Mr. Culbreath could combat every argument the opposition threw at him. Mr. Culbreath uses common sense, empathy, legal expertise, and digs into the details of a case before appearing in front of the Judge. Mr. Culbreath always kept me informed of the likely hood of success of any argument that I wanted to make, and took the time to educate me on the nuances of the law. There was nothing my ex-husband could bring up that Shaun hadn’t already thought of a legal argument for. Mr. Culbreath is a Legal Assassin, and because of his ability to argue the detrimental flaws of my ex’s parenting, I now have 100% physical custody of my daughter. I also hired Mr. Culbreath to handle my Grandmothers estate after her passing, and he made this a painless process as well. Mr. Culbreath is a great attorney whether he is presenting in court, or handling in-office cases. Shaun Culbreath is the only Attorney I trust to handle my legal needs, and recommend him to anyone who has a need of Legal help.
