I am looking for an English speaking attorney in the Toulouse area
specializing in child custody.  In the past, we have had French
lawyers who speak English, but have not been very interested in trying
very hard to help an American.  Looking for someone who will really
try.  I would prefer an American attorney in the Toulouse area, but if
not, an English speaking French attorney would be ok.

Dear Salita, 

There are several English-speaking lawyers in Toulouse, recommended by
the American Presence Post in the town. However, none of them is
American, nor are their speciality family law:

However, there are several American lawyers in southern France,
specialising, among other, in family law:

Ron, 

Your office is one of those mentioned in my answer. 

I doubt it if Lexmark.com is your site. Either that or that the
notorious printer manufacturer does now moonlighting as a law-firm,
given the rotten printers they sell (it might be actually very
efficient. I could imagine that half of their staff is handling
printer-related cases, from torts to felonies, see "Office Space" for
more reference on what to do with your Lexmark).
