Passionate, Knowledgeable and Thoughtful

I hired an attorney who gave me very bad advice and changed the direction of my case. I fired him and hired Grace after reading her reviews and talking to the people in the Court. She was the right attorney for me to go through this horrible experience with. My case took 3 years to settle and dur...ing that time Grace was always available to me especially when I was in a crisis. She would always listen and would give me thoughtful advice. She doesn't sugar coat anything, and some of what she said was hard to hear, but it was good advice and the right advice at the time. Grace is so personable and sweet that you might think she isn't effective but she stands firm and knows her stuff in the courtroom. Anyone going through a high conflict divorce should talk to Grace before hiring an attorney.

Rockstar Lawyer

In June of 2020, my ex decided she wasn't going to allow me to see my children anymore, through unsubstantiated claims. My lawyer at the time, who I had warned of these behaviors, had no response. I fired her, hired Grace, and for the first time in months had a real advocate who fought hard and knew ...what she was talking about. Grace saw me through one of the hardest periods of my life, She filed multiple motions. She was accessible and helpful. She assured me time and time again I would see my children. When we had a hearing, almost five months later we won. None of my ex's or her lawyer's false accusations stood up. Grace filed 3 motions and we won all 3 because Grace knows the system. It is no surprise that the reviews here are overwhelmingly positive. She fought hard and smart. If you need a divorce attorney and want a warrior on your side who is seasoned, compassionate and unstoppable, hire Grace

Someone who really cares

Grace took my very difficult divorce and child custody case. She is so patient and kind and held me up through a year of hell. She always answered my calls and emails and was there for me when I needed someone to talk to. She is so much more than a lawyer. She is very smart and knows the law and ...knows how to facilitate even the most difficult negotiations. My ex told lies about me to the court and tried to have the kids taken from me. We had to go to trial but Grace skillfully worked my case and the lies were exposed. In the end I was very satisfied with the result. I would highly recommend Grace as a divorce attorney. She really cares and really works hard for her clients.

An attorney who fights

I initially hired Grace on a limited basis to help me with paperwork for my divorce. After meeting Grace and having her review my case, I decided to hire her for full representation. She was dedicated and attentive and fought hard for me in court. It was difficult case because my ex didn't want t...o work and the other attorney kept saying I made more money than I actually do. Grace went through my financials for 3 years and was able to prove my actual income which resulted in a successful result. She also got alimony waived even though this was a 25 year marriage and I am getting money from the sale of the home. I was very pleased at the outcome and would highly recommend Grace as a divorce attorney. She doesn't give up even when things get tough and always makes herself available when you need her.

The Most Dedicated Attorney

Grace accepted to work on my divorce case pro bono as a way to help me stand on my feet. She was my third attorney on the case, and she was so special in every way possible. She wrote the most straightforward divorce agreement, and made sure to negotiate a fair child support. I am thankful for the... hundreds of hours she spent on the case in full dedication. Her advice were the most valuable and the attorney/friend relationship she offers is matchless. I would recommend her over and over again!
