Divorce and Child Support

Deirdre is amazing, I only have 3000 characters so hopefully I can do her justice. I first met Deirdre in 2013 when I was planning to get divorced, she met with me for a few hours, she listened and she guided and when we were done said "go do what I told you and call me in a year." Well, I didn't l...isten and I should have. Less than a year later, I filed for divorce with an attorney (not Deirdre) and what a mistake. Thousands of dollars waisted on nothing, I went to Deirdre, head in hands, and said "I need your help." She sat me down and again with the same care and concern we walked through strategies, she laid it all on the line and explained my options very clear. A month later I was divorced and my settlement was done in the best way possible at the time. Here I am in 2025 (12 years later) wow. I sent Deirdre an email and boom, she called me later that evening. It was like no time had passed at all, we caught up on how the kids were and how I was doing and then got down to business. Deirdre again took her time to explain all my options and what I needed to do to move forward with child support adjustments. What can I say, she is truly one of a kind. If you are looking for someone to be totally honest, this is the person for you. Thank you Deirdre so much for all of your help and guidance.

Deirdre spoke to me with care and concern on our first conversation.

Deidre got right back to me at a time of great stress and was able to answer my questions and point me in the right direction with her kind words and professional advice. She did not charge me for her help and I would highly recommend her!

She’s the best!

What can I say Deirdre is fantastic! She is so easy to connect and relate too, and Deirdre isn’t afraid to tell it like it is! She saved me tens of thousands and guided me each step of the way through my painful divorce. She actually cares which is rare. Love her.

Extremely grateful

I contacted Dierdre at a very difficult time where she provided me with valuable advice and direction on her own personal time. Extremely helpful and empathetic.

Big picture thinking

I hired Deirdre to review a divorce agreement I had worked through with a mediator with my soon to be ex-husband. Divorce can be clouded with lots of emotions and just wanting the process to be smooth and easy- she went through the agreement with me and made sure that it objectively made sense in the... long run- helped me put aside some of those difficult emotions to come to something that made sense. I greatly appreciate the time, effort and patience she had with me to work through that process.
