Divorce Case

I would highly recommend Judith Gillett to anyone going through a divorce or separation. She was very knowledgable about family law, provided expert guidance and advice, and was very responsive to me. During my recent separation and divorce, I most valued her straightforward, yet caring approach to... my situation. Divorce is a highly emotional process and there were many times when I struggled with looking out for my own best interests. Judith listened, showed empathy, but consistently applied logic and reason. I never felt pressured, rather, she often simply helped me see the short- and long-term implications of the decisions I was making. Having a lawyer so knowledgable about family law, coupled with a caring attitude, helped me through one of the most difficult periods of my life.

Strategic Lawyer

Ms. Gillett helped me get over a divorce 3 months ago and I was completely satisfied. She is an "outside the box" thinker, very caring and knowledgeable. She displayed professionalism and followed through with all requests. I felt she was by myself the entire process and It was such a breath of fresh... air meeting her in the midst of my dispair. I would recommend her!!

Amazing

Judy joined my divorce/custody case late in the game, but immediately became oriented with the facts and moved forward with fluency and efficiency. She is passionate about her cases, and is driven as though she were working for someone personally close to her. Being well versed in the law, she often ...uses "outside of the box" thinking to ensure that all possible avenues are explored for the most positive end to your case.

Absolutely on her game!!!

Judith has been very on point with dealing with the facts and signed agreements in my post divorce case and getting those agreements enforced. My divorce was final two years ago yet I was still struggling to have my entitlements turned over to me. I came across Judith seeking answers on what forms to... file in my own behalf from free legal advice at my local courthouse. That brief session with Judith led me to seek her services for my many post divorce issues (child support, child custody, TSP, Retirement, etc.) Emotionally this was a great deal on my plate but Judith was very forthcoming in telling me what to expect and very responsive. Everything turned out justly according to the letter of the law and I was very pleased with Judith's handing of my case. I was not a fan of the nonsense that my ex husband was allowed to file but you can't be wrong when you're right and have Judith working on your behalf. The best part is her prices are very reasonable and she absolutely keeps expenses to a minimum. She was very compassionate of my concerns and very professional keeping me focused on the big picture and less on my emotions towards my ex spouse. I would absolutely recommend Judith Gillette....ABSOLUTELY!!! She is currently handling a child support case for me. I love working with Ms. Gillette.
