Excellent attorney that you will want on your side

The divorce process was incredibly difficult directly attributed to an ex-spouse's actions and also uniquely complicated with a special needs minor. Geri and her team handled the entire situation with care, professionalism and continuous focus on guiding me through every step. Our life is now tremend...ously better, safer and happier thanks to Geri.

Provided invaluable guidance throughout a high conflict lengthy divorce

I can not recommend Attorney McEvoy highly enough- From the first consultation I had with her she showed her patience, empathy, expertise and understanding. My divorce was chaotic, lengthy and confusing. Attorney McEvoy and her firm went above and beyond to provide me with realistic, honest advice ...and guidance. Attorney McEvoy is a genuinely caring person who truly focuses on accomplishing realistic results in the most efficient way possible. Prior to meeting with Attorney McEvoy I had very disappointing and costly experiences with two other Attorneys. Attorney McEvoy was able to help me effectively navigate the tumultuous, emotional and daunting obstacles that arise in a contentious divorce involving children. She is a true advocate for the best interests of children, a straight forward, honest, consistent professional who invests in her clients. Attorney McEvoy’s experience, knowledge, talented commication skills, compassion and determination are incomparable and rare. I feel blessed to have found her and am endlessly thankful for her legal advice and support at every point of the divorce process.

Helped me become guardian of my grandson

I was having difficulty filling out all the legal documents needed to go to court to gain custody of my grandson. Attorney McEvoy gave me an appointment in one day. She is is good listener, has a lot of heart and gave me good advice . She filled out all the paper work. To save me money she explain...ed everything to me about court and told me my case was solid and I could do the rest myself. I was successful but I never could have done it without her help. She was wonderful to me.

Not focused on the case

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.
