Pro Bono Projects

In addition, from June 2007 through October 2008, Ronda Middleton served as co-counsel for a complex custody litigation case involving a mother of three who fled a notorious, worldwide cult of approximately 10,000 active members. As a result of leaving the cult and exposing its alleged abuse to the media, the client lost contact with her children, aged 10 – 15, who she believed were being threatened and abused by cult members.

As part of a team of attorneys working on this case, a settlement was reached on the eve of the ten-day trial providing full custody to the mother along with a detailed custodial arrangement. This arrangement set up safeguards for the children’s safety and held the father accountable for financial responsibilities and fees.
