Anyone want to enhance audio?

Hi, I know this is not an orthodox place to post something like this, but I know there are many talented people on this forum, and many of you have the skills, and software to do what I am requesting easily. Hell I would also, but I am running on a not so great laptop. Anywhoo.

I am currently in a custody case with the mother of my daughter. The mother is claiming domestic abuse, and got a restraining order against me, she has done this to me about a year ago, but this time around I got video of what happened, sort of, I was using an LG rumor touch and every time she would come near me while I was running the camcorder I would put the phone in my pocket with both my hands tucked in, she assaulted me trying to get the phone from my pocket.

Unfortunately I did not manage to capture ANY audio or video of me pleading with her to get off of me while she was on top of me trying to get the phone out of my pocket, which sucks, but I did get audio/video of the before/after 2 attacks she did on me that night. I tried showing the cops the video I got, but they didnt accept it as enough proof to discredit her claim of abuse, and validate mine, as I am the male and she the female, I have been considered the "primary aggressor" 2 times now. I am a very calm person, I would rather ignore a person then confront them about an issue, and I definately wouldnt hit a woman, however crazy she was.

So I was wondering if anyone out there who has experience/skills in enhancing audio could distinguish what is said during the 2 6 minute video clips I have, and write them down. She was saying things that night like "I am gonna tell them you hit me", "I am not doing anything, your crazy Alex", (while she is chasing me around a table. So yeah. PM me if you would like to volunteer to enhance and document the audio on 2 6 minute videos I have, they were taken the night of the incident, and I hope to use them atleast as I reference in our custody case, to show what kind of character she was that night, and through out our relationship. I would appreciate the time taken to do this favor for me.
 
First off, I dont know if you know this or not, but whatever audio/video you have, will NOT hold up in court. Unless that audio/video has you asking her for her permission to film her, its illegal. You cannot take audio/video of another person without their consent, i.e/ you HAVE to ask them for permission EVERY time you take a video. I'm not trying to rain on your parade, and I feel bad for the situation you are in. I just wanted to let you know this before you get your hopes up.

Second, the audio quality on phones is not that good. I am an audio engineer, and frequently do exactly what you are asking: cleaning up audio. Its tough enough even with a CLEAN audio track. WIth audio from a phone, that is HIGHLY compressed, there really isnt any way to clean it up.
 
She was aware that I was filming the entire time, and on video she states she doesnt care. I didnt start off by filming her, I was just texting my family, then when she repeatedly tried to take the phone from me, is when I started filming, also, in my state, Missouri, I dont think you have to have the other persons consent. Also the audio/video I got, 2 6 minute clips, the audio/video is pretty descent. There is just a couple times in the video where the mother of my daughter, speaks low, and you can barely make out what she is saying. I wanted that enhanced.
