Excellent

Ms. Aughtry is everything you want in an attorney. She's above all is trustworthy. She handled all of my mother's affairs before and after she passed. She took personal time with each member of our immediate family in settling mom's will.

Divorced

What an amazing attorney!! Dewette is sincere and honest. She is very meticulous and thorough, she walks you thru everything. Never leaves anything out. True to her word you’ll get what she promises or you’ll get very close to it. She’s very patient and highly intelligent. Not afraid to go agai...nst anything or anyone nor is she afraid to challenge the opposition. Know that with Dewette you are in great hands. She is worth every dime she charges. It was my absolute pleasure to work with her. I learned so much from her. She was truly one of the best decisions I ever made. The best part in my experience with Dewettte is that we worked together. She kept me informed on every step that was being taken, she never misguided me. My divorced was a lot of unnecessary work due to the fact that I was married to someone who thrives on trying to “get over and misguide everyone”. But she saw through it all and was on top of everything. I promise anyone who retains Dewette that you will never be sorry - she is a winner at heart!

Excellent and fair Lawyer

I've had a real estate problem for a few years now. I've gone through a few shady lawyers and a few consultant groups that claim they would help me but never did. Instead they drained me dry of my earnings. A friend referred me to Mrs. Aughtry, but I didn't call on her because I was already sick and ...distrusting of lawyers. I have another lawyer helping me with my mediation for my home in NJ but I got sued by the collectors and needed help. My current lawyer would not help me with that and claimed that the medication would put a stop to it, but the mediation date was not set yet. I went to Mrs. Aughtry for a second opinion and she was very open and honest with me. She even went out of her way to assist me with the current lawsuit although she couldn't represent me. This is what a real lawyer represents, not just the ones that are looking for a paycheck. Unfortunately there are just too many of them to speak of, but obviously, Mrs. Aughtry is not one of them. If you need a good, honest and helpful lawyer that is not full of nonsense and not just looking for a paycheck, but is willing to see you through and is up front? She is the one. The other thing is, if she can help you, you are getting one of the best lawyers they have out there. I wish I had contacted her sooner or else I wouldn't have all of the problems I have now.

Highly Recommend

I walked into a marriage some years ago never considering that there could be a dark side of what was considered happiness. I did not fool myself to think that everything would be perfect and it was a happy ever after life. I know that in life there are some things that come up that one just needs to... deal with, whether you want to or not. The potholes that I saw others hit and go over became very different when I hit it. Seeing a jolt and feeling a jolt is two different things. Our once happy union became a consented separation. An in house separation became an out of the house separation which not long after, lead to papers some five years later when I received a letter from her attorney. I felt threatened and knew I would need a lawyer. I asked around and was told to give Dewette C. Aughtry a call and that she was a good lawyer. Upon giving her a call and setting up a meeting she first asked “are you sure this is what you want to do?” She asked about the history of my marriage, what lead to this, how my wife viewed things, how I viewed things and what step we had taken. As things went along Ms. Aughtry went to bat for me in fighting for me. There were times when I was fighting against myself. In the liquidation of things, I was told by my soon to be ex-wife that she wanted a certain amount of money and that I had good credit so I could go out and get it. At this point I was in rage and wanted it over and said I will give her what she wanted and get it over with. When I did not care my attorney did. Ms. Aughtry did not let me hurt myself with the many foolish moves I wanted to make. I am forever grateful that an attorney of her caliber was found at my level in life. On the last day of court, at the end of the proceeding the clerk said to me that she had witnessed a lot of cases and said that I was well represented, that my attorney did a great job. Dewette C. Aughtry came recommended to me and from my view she leaves Highly Recommended.

An Attorney You Can Count On

Many years ago, I had a very sensitive family issue that required legal counsel. I called the Brooklyn Bar Association, and described my problem, and was referred to the Law Offices of Dewette Aughtry and Associates. From our initial consultation, which was FREE, Ms Aughtry and her staff made me fe...el welcome, and that my concerns truly mattered. Not only were my issues resolved to my satisfaction, Ms Aughtry and her staff were not only informative, knowledgable, attentive, and professional, they got results. I had the pleasure of using Ms Aughtry again, a few years later on a severe tax issue, once again, Ms Aughtry and her staff came through with results. Her fees were quite reasonable in both of my cases, and ANYONE, looking for quality service, by seasoned professionals, look up Ms Aughtry, I'm glad I did.
