Guardian ad Litem

A guardian ad litem is appointed in disputed custody matters. With two parents claiming to be the best one for their child, it can be difficult to cut through the morass and find the truth. The guardian ad litem, as the representative of the child, has the job of figuring that out.

The Mitchell Law Firm, LLC obtained the specialized training necessary to provide guardian ad litem services eight years ago and has served as a “GAL” in St. Charles County ever since. .
