What Is the Right of First Refusal?

Hi, I’m Marco Brown from Brown Family in Salt Lake City, Utah.
I wanted to take a moment and answer a question that question is what is the right of first refusal the writer first refusal is the idea that it’s better that children are cared for by their parents than by other people. So, here’s a prime example of that: you have divorced parents and the kid is with one of the parents and that parent has to go to work for eight or ten hours. What the writer first refusal says is it’s better for that kid to be with the other parent than to be in daycare or with grandma. So, what you would need to do is if you’re the one going to work for eight or ten hours, is call the other parent and say “Hey, do you want to watch our kid during this period of time?” If they do, then they have the opportunity to do that. If they can’t, then you can go to daycare, then you can have the child with grandma. But really the front right of first refusal is this idea that it’s best that children are cared for by their parents instead of by third parties and by daycares.

Navigating the legal system was a steep learning curve for me, and my situation was fairly complex. What stood out about this law firm was the way multiple attorneys collaborated to address my case. It wasn’t just one person working in isolation, but a team supporting each other to find the best path forward. That kind of collective effort is a real strength, especially in hard out complex situations like mine.
There was one issue I felt should have had a different outcome with the court. When I brought it up, the team responded in a very professional and respectful manner, which I truly appreciated. It came to my understanding that the legal system sometimes works in a way that is distant than I thought. This was presented to me in a way that someone outside of the legal system could understand.
In my experience, this firm takes the time to not only assist you, but also help you understand why things are happening. That made a big difference for me, and it’s something that really sets them apart.
I did my homework to find the perfect lawyer to represent me knowing I could have peace of mind throughout the process.
Leilani Whitmer and her paralegal Idania did not disappoint. Their professionalism and dedication to my case was outstanding and fair.
Leilani had just had surgery a few days before mediation and showed up on crutches and ready to go. That’s dedication!!!
I am highly recommending them to anyone looking to feel at ease during a difficult time.
