Its important people to do their research before hiring an attorney .

The divorce lawyer its crucial in the case of a divorce especially when you’re unaware of most legal issues you face your way. Brian takes his time to calmly explain and inform you for the upcoming things. Divorce its not easy for any one I guess but having a good and experienced lawyer makes a bi...g difference. I would recommend Brian to my friends!

Skilled and Compassionate Divorce Attorney

I consider myself very fortunate to have had Mr. Brian Latimer as my divorce attorney and highly recommend him, just as he was highly recommended to me. When I first spoke with Mr. Latimer over the phone, I found it easy to speak with him; I noted that he was a good listener and thoughtful in his... answers. This first impression proved true when I met him in person, and during the entire time that he assisted me, I was always grateful that he was both a highly skilled attorney and a compassionate human being. I found that same compassion in his assistant, Kristina Latimer. Mr. Latimer steadfastly and expertly steered me through and beyond an unpleasant, rocky phase of my life. Along the way, I noted that no detail was overlooked. Indeed, I was struck by how well written the engagement letter was, and that same attention to detail colored all communications and interactions. The communications portal was also very easy to use for file sharing and notes, which was a nice plus. For anyone in need of a divorce attorney, Mr. Latimer is an excellent choice.

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.

Brian is fantastic

Brian is a great attorney that guided me expertly and skillfully throughout my divorce. Brian was actually my second attorney, after my first attorney failed to meet my expectations. He was always available for questions, and answered them knowledgeably and thoroughly. He quickly responded to any ...issues arising from the court or the other side, and treated each issue with great care. Brian was able to negotiate a final settlement agreement that I could live with. Having to pay your cheating ex wife money for breaking your marriage is never fun, but Brian skillfully negotiated probably the best possible outcome for me given the circumstances of the current laws. Overall I greatly recommend Brian to anybody going through divorce and would hire him again if I ever need a divorce lawyer again (which is hopefully never).

Truly the BEST in the business

My experience with Brian Latimer and his staff has been nothing short of exceptional. From the second I reached out to them for help, I knew I had found the firm to help me navigate a truly stressful and emotional child support case. He and his assistant made the whole process as easy as it could ...be and took the stress off me. They not only were dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome, but they listened and handled my fears, many questions and high emotions like I was speaking to a dear friend.  Mr. Latimer's knowledge, dedication, and overall kindness when handling myself and my case exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for an amazing lawyer both in court and through the whole process look no further. You have found the absolute very best in Brian Latimer and his staff. I am forever grateful for everything they have done for me and the kindness in the process.
