Strongly Recommend

Had a really messy divorce. Barbara and her team were able to clean up that mess, and considering how disastrous my marriage ended, that's saying something. She is completely transparent and will fight for your case to make sure you walk away with whatever you walked in with. I strongly recommend her....

Memorable Lawyer

Memorable lawyer. She is responsive. She will meet with you when she says she will. She takes time out of her day to talk to you on the phone. Gives updates consistently. Took the stress out of my life little by little until the case was ruled in my favor. Highly recommend this lawyer to anyone in th...e area who is searching for a competent one. Thank you!

Don't hire this attorney

This attorney was the worst, I hired them to help me modify an unfair divorce agreement. Both partners made me feel like they were working for the other side. After I fell for her sales pitch and gave my retainer, Barbara and her partner became rude and belittling by yelling during consultations an...d repeating that I originally signed a bad agreement. She would go to court and meetings on my behalf unprepared and would continuously try to convince me to settle in the other sides favor. After spending a year and thousands of dollars, this attorney has left me with just another bad agreement that she had me sign and then further modified along with the other sides attorney without my knowledge or approval. I am now left to spend more money to have another attorney defend me as I am no better off than I was when I hired Barbara Gervase.

Not a Good Attorney For Divorce

Barbara Gervase and Susan are not attorney's you want to use when you're going through a divorce. They make you promises or give you false information when you meet them so you can retain them and then they don't follow through. They don't take the time to explain things or return phone calls in a ti...mely fashion. You feel like you're constantly guessing as to what's going on with your case. They did not make me feel like I was well protected during my divorce and that they were helping me. I seriously wouldn't hire either one of them. Barbara gave me the impression with an "I don't care attitude" and Susan is just mean and nasty. I felt both attorney's were unprofessional.

Does a great job

Barbara Gervase is a tough atty. who fights for her clients. She knows what she is doing. Handled my divorce and custody issues thoughtfully and was concerned for me throughout the process. I was treated professionally and very pleased with the office staff as well. In a stressful situation like... a divorce, you need someone who will stand up for you. This lawyers does that.
