Great attorney who cared about my needs and objectives

After many years of marriage my wife and I separated and decided to divorce. Ed represented me through a difficult divorce. As a business owner the separation of assets was contentious. Ed took a lot of time to understand what was important to me and was able to work out a divorce agreement that was ...reasonable and agreeable to my former wide. I can't say enough good things about Ed. I would definitely recommend him to friends and colleagues facing a similar situation.

I dreaded having to engage an attorney...

I dreaded having to engage an attorney... Having dealt with several over the course of my professional career which left me ever so slightly,.. unenthusiastic,.... about retaining one for my own divorce. If I was religious I would "thank God" that I chose Mr. Bouquet. His experience AND expert...ise were starkly apparent from minute one and remained so to the conclusion. There is no way in, ...wait, I said I wasn't religious, ...there was just no way I would have fared so well in this nightmare of a life changing event without him. I was VERY happy with his representation and feel that you simply could not be in better hands than his during a divorce.

A Consumate Professional

I have known Mr. Bouquet in a professional capacity for over 10 years. As a family law practicioner in the same jurisdiction as Mr. Bouquet I have been involved in several matters with Mr. Bouquet. While advoacting vigorously for his respective clients, he still always maintained a courteous and p...rofessional demeanor to me as his counterpart. Accordingly, while we both fought for our respective clients, his representation did not resort to posturing or other form of grandstanding. In one of the cases that we had together, my client suffered from a rather serious addiction. Mr. Bouquet was appropriately sensitive to those issues and that party's needs without impeding representation of his client. Overall, I have found him to be one of the best family law practicioner's in our county.

the ice man cometh

It's always unfortunate when a family law attorney is needed. That said Mr. Bouquet is the guy you want as you wander the minefield of divorce. Capable, resourceful, and more, never has the expression "bringing a gun to a knife fight" been more appropriate. I've dealt with the best of the best in ...many other areas of practice. Mr. Bouquet is among the best of them. I wouldn't just recommend him, I would scold a friend who chose not to use him.
