Alimony Termination

I hired Brian Lattimer to terminate a permanent alimony obligation. I interviewed four attorneys as part of my process. Brian proved to be competent, realistic and calm. He understands the emotional turmoil that you go through in an adversarial conflict as well as what needs to happen on the legal ...side. My case was settled in mediation, with a fair settlement that permanently ended the obligation. I highly recommend Brian. He is a competent attorney and a genuinely caring person.

Outstanding Lawyer!

Thanks to Brian, I kept my house and my kids. He was always responsive and very professional. He kept a cool demeanor at all times but wouldn't let any nonsense from the other side slide. He would clearly explain legal theory and strategy when I had questions and for these reasons, I highly recomm...end him.

Top Notch Attorney

Brian is a terrific attorney. He is extremely well versed in matrimonial/family law and is always accessible to his client. I have used Brian on several occasions, and I would highly recommend his services for anyone in need of a matrimonial/family law attorney.

Brian P Latimer Review

I had a consultation with Brian and hired him on the spot. He was secure in his job knowledge with respect to my matrimonial case and made thoughtful determinations after carefully listening to my scenario. He then was able to offer considered alternatives as to how we would proceed. I then felt em...powered and confident that we had a carefully deliberated and developed strategic plan that would best benefit me and produce a postive outcome for my case with the least amount of discord; which was my desired objective. I was very happy with his calm demeanor, knowledgeable perspectives and no nonscence approach to matrimonial law. I found Brian to have an exceptional ability to quickly and accurately assess the facts of my case in order to implement measures that would achieve my goals with limited confrontation in order to win my case. I would definitely utilize his services again if looking for a competent lawyer that knows how to win with the least amount of stress!

Maureen

Brian represented me several times, post divorce, and if I had him representing me for the divorce, I am confident there would not have been any need for post-divorce proceedings. He went above and beyond what any previous attorney had done for me. Brian’s goal was to reach a resolution that would ...be best for me, and he was able to accomplish that. I greatly appreciated the time and effort that he put into my case for the court, as well as the information and explanations regarding certain aspects of divorce and family law that I had not previously been made aware of. I highly recommend Brian because his knowledge and expertise were exceptional.
