Judith A. McDermott

Judith is just another cog wheel in the system, with an arrogant demeanor. She has clearly chosen her career path for money, not to help divided families and children. Judith is rude, hostile, and defensive. Rather than talking to you as a client, or human, she will talk down to you and belittle. Wha...t she charges is outrageous, hundreds of dollars for one email. Free consultations and online sources can get you similar results. Do yourself a favor and find a different attorney.

As a divorce lawyer, Judi McDermott has no doubt led a lot of people on a road to freedom. But no matter how well-worn her path is, she'll never take a shortcut. I'm probably no different than most of Judi's clients in that I came to her miserable, scared and desperate to get on with my life. I wante...d to be done with marriage, and fast. No matter how contentious things got, though, Judi shored me up and steered me toward an outcome that made my life better in the long run. She looked out for me when I was so low I was unable, and I am eternally grateful. Judi is a powerhouse and whip-smart and a great lady; she's compassionate and dedicated and fair. No one who asks about my divorce escapes the conversation without hearing me rave about my brilliant blond lifesaver lawyer.

I can't say enough about how great Judi was during my divorce and the followup after. She was totally tuned in to my kid focused goals, listens to her clients specific needs, and persevered appropriately to get the best results. She is highly responsive, talented, smart and fair. All of these are ...helpful given the difficulties of a divorce. She is one of the best in her field! I highly recommend her, and have many times.

Judi McDermott has been a strong advocate of my interests in my divorce and subsequent proceedings, always providing honest advice, never being afraid to give me frank assessments even if I didn't want to hear them and, most importantly, winning fair judgments at every turn. I highly recommend Judy a...s a forceful and effective advocate whose clients' interests are her top priority.

I have known Judith McDermott for nine years now when she was just an attorney for the law firm. She was recommended to me by another attorney back in 2007 and I have been with her ever since. She was excellent, in performing her legal services for my First and Second Amendment to my First Divorce ...Agreement; completed by another attorney. A very difficult case that involved post divorce child visitation and child support issues. Judith resolved these issues for me by using her extensive knowledge of family law, attention to detail, and great negotiating skills. Also, I hired Judith again for my Second Divorce Agreement. Again, she performed the same excellent skills that I mentioned before in completing my Second Divorce Agreement. I only wish I had hired her for my Prenuptial Agreement. That was my mistake. If you are a devoted father to your children like me, where every other weekend with your children is not going to cut it for you, then Judith is the attorney you want. She is the best for me and will be for you if you find yourself in a difficult divorce situation. Judith has a very extensive knowledge in family law and is always ethical in performing her legal services. She is respectful, supportive, compassionate and will always be in your corner as you go thorough each step of the divorce process. That is what you want in your lawyer and Judith has that. Besides, her hard work and dedication shows that she eventually became the managing partner at Gomperts, Penza & McDermott. That didn't surprise me at all.
