Geraldine P. McEvoy

I have been divorced for many years and am happily remarried. In 2018, my ex-spouse was causing a number of issues that were disrupting my marriage. I met with several family law attorneys in the area. I settled on Geraldine because of her no-nonsense direct approach and experience with similar matte...rs. Geraldine stepped in, addressed the issues, and helped me when further communication was necessary. All was going well until I was hit with a modification. If I had given into the irrational demands, I would be making a good salary and penniless at the same time. Geraldine and her staff guided me through the process and negotiations, but the other side was unwilling to compromise. Ultimately, the modification went to court. Geraldine laid out my position and rationale, and was quick on her feet during debate. The result could not have been any better. I am grateful to Geraldine for her help over the past few years, and I rely on her to help me navigate the road ahead.

I hired her for a very specific thing, not as a long term lawyer. I was trying to overturn an arbitrators decision with very good reason but none of those reasons or suggested solutions were ever presented go the court. We asked to overturn the decision with no cause other than we thought what was pr...eviously in place was best for the kids. She failed to mention the arbitrators rationale was seriously flawed, he didn't follow his own protocol, and I had a method of eliminating multiple parent to parent transitions without modifying the amount of time each parent had with the kid whereas in an attempt to reduce 1 transition, the time with each parent changed significantly with no grounds for a change in custody. You only get one shot to overturn an arbitrators decision and she really let me down.
