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.

Family Court

I highly recommend Deirdre. I hired her to represent me in Family Court and she went above and beyond my expectations. I felt completely comfortable throughout the whole process. She made sure that I understood everything before , during and after court. Extremely knowledgeable and professional.

Outstanding effort on a difficult no-fault

The process took more than a year to obtain a court hearing partly due to Covid, but mostly due to the stubbornness of the wife. It took eleven months to get her to sign a settlement agreement with a lot of ugliness along the way. Deirdre was patient and persistent and had to use her considerable neg...otiating experience to finely convince the party to not contest. Over the entire period she helped me manage the stress by frequent progress updates, comforting advice and taking control of the negotiations. Bottom line, she got the desired results and provided peace of mind.

Fantastic Divorce Lawyer

I have been beyond happy to receive all of Deirdre's wonderful advice. She continues to help me navigate any and all issues post divorce. She is compassionate, knowledgable and understands all the complexity. I highly recommend her and am fortunate to have her representation.

Can't Thank Deirdre enough

Deirdre is just an amazing lawyer, who was compassionate and thorough with the details in my divorce. There were many difficult angles that she was able to navigate and help me with. I am in a better place because of her dedication and I just can't thank her enough for that. I highly recommend Deirdr...e if services are needed in Family Court.
