Claudette-Jean Girard - a great divorce attorney

Claudette is responsive, helpful, and knowledgeable. She helped me achieve a reasonable divorce with a difficult spouse. I was informed every step of the process and there were only a few surprises.

Powerful, caring and attentive.

Attorney Claudette was gracious and kind with me, yet bold in action. Tactful and tactical with my adversary, yet not unkind. She was able to deliver in every aspect and got me exactly the deal I wanted. She has a thorough knowledge of the law and was with me every step of the way. It is apparent tha...t she has a Great deal of empathy for children. Claudette responded quickly any Time I had a question and was able to guide me through a process that could Have been a lot more painful for everyone involved were it not For her. I highly recommend Attorney Girard for anyone who is against the odds, trying to do what is right for their family. She was persistent, thorough and on top of every aspect of the case from start to finish and even beyond. I am more than happy that I decided to go with Claudette, I do not believe things would have turned out so well otherwise. She handled my case as if it were her top priority and that was a wonder, because my children are mine. If I ever am in need in the future there is no doubt that I will stay with Claudette.

Highly Competent Professional

Attorney Claudette-Jean Girard is professional, knowledgeable, direct, factual, realistic, aggressive, proactive, prompt, meticulous, intuitive, resolute and extremely efficient. She is as well a genuine and compassionate person. One will quickly learn just how emotional a legal matter can be. Howeve...r, Attorney Girard has an uncanny ability to listen attentively and quickly sift through outlining in her own mind what is legally relevant to which she will tactfully explain and present back to you. Be assured that she will answer your questions and keep you updated of progress as it is being made. She will confidently go forward in negotiation and/or court appearance with great persistence and little tolerance for procrastination. Albeit the seriousness taken, I have much appreciated her ability to interject humor and set me at ease knowing that she is diligently advancing to resolution.

Consummate Professional

Attorney Girard was not only very responsive, but she provided prompt professional assistance to a complex educational issue. Her depth of knowledge as a legal professional is equally matched by her innate compassion and personal firsthand experience with special education regulations and child advo...cacy. Attorney Girard’s ability to objectively evaluate and clearly succinctly articulate the issues provided direction and guidance at a most critical juncture; placing the needs of our child foremost. It is without reservation, particularly as a professional special educator and parent, that I would wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Girard as a strong dedicated advocate for children’s rights.
