What happens when the law designed to protect your family becomes its greatest threat?
This powerful, true story follows a single father’s legal odyssey through the rigid maze of the German family court system. As both a parent and a lawyer, Evan Trimmis found himself forced to fight for his children’s well-being — battling not only a contentious custody dispute but also the deep-rooted biases of a system that struggles to see beyond bureaucracy.
Told through a gripping personal lens, Legal Ties, Family Bonds exposes the human cost of legal inflexibility. It explores how family law, immigration, and criminal regulations clash in practice — leaving vulnerable families lost between legal codes. Drawing comparisons with Greek and Albanian law, Trimmis presents not just his own case, but a broader critique of how courts fail to deliver justice when they ignore context.
This book is for:
- Parents trapped in legal systems that feel unfair
- Lawyers and reformists seeking insight into procedural failures
- Anyone who believes justice should put people before process
A call for reform. A case for compassion. A testimony of resilience.
