Steven Blaine Ockerman

In February 2012 I had a consultation with Steven Ockerman regarding separation from my husband. Mr. Ockerman was very informative and I felt very comfortable talking with him about personal reasons of wanting this separation. Mr. Ockerman showed much concern and was very caring. A year later, aft...er separating from my husband, I emailed Mr. Ockerman as I wanted to file a legal separation and divorce proceedings. Mr. Ockerman knew exactly who I was and emailed me right away. I filed for both separation and divorce and it was done quicky and professionally. I also had to email Mr. Ockerman many times and he always answered my emails promptly. Mr. Ockerman is honest, knowledgement, always there to help.

I was scared to death the first time I went to see Steve Ockerman. He was caring and professional and I felt I could trust him-and I was right. From the beginning he explained things to me and did not talk down to me as I did not understand all of the nuances of the laws. He encouraged me to get som...e counseling and I believed that show that he cared about me as a person. His paralegal Ashley Hunsucker was always available and she also was very professional and very kind. They always smiled and helped me through the difficult times. I would not wish divorce on anyone but one needs a professional who cares and Steve Ockerman fits that exactly. When I talked to many Judges whom I know and they asked me who I was using and I told them Steve Ockernman they ALL SAID "you are in the best of hands." Steve is highly respected among his peers and among the judges. He has kept in touch with me and called me "to see how you are." He is a blessing and I am so grateful I found him to represent me. He will always be a friend.

Mr. Ockerman represented my mother in a divorce case. He was very helpful and responsive, willing to work through some difficult challenges in the case,and was very professional. He is mindful of the circumstances surrounding the situation at hand as well as objective facts. I have worked with severa...l attorneys in the past and have found his services to be more than satisfactory and his advice to be sound.

I believe I am the only client who does not live in the US nor a Citizen of this country. For years I had been seeking to get in touch with my son who was brought by my wife from India when we went through a divorce. It had been a long a tedious search through the embassy of India and the US to trace... them in the state of NC. I travelled to the US from Saudi Arabia when I work in the hope of seeing my son after seven long years. To my surprise my ex-wife refused to allow me to see my son and instead filed a false complaint in the court that I had come to Kidnap my son and take him away. This sounds so silly as no one can take away a smart eleven year old boy out of this country without a passport. I got in touch with the lawyer referral service and from there I was directed to see Mr. Steve. After a very patient hearing on the phone Steve offered his best advice and still recommended me to find a mutual understanding with my ex-wife. I insisted that I visit his office and see him in person to which he gladly agreed. I have to say that my first meeting with him was enough to convience me that he is the best guy to take my case. It has been a long a tedious process which Steve and I went through and the hard work brought results where on my second visit to the US and my first court appearance the Judge ordered my ex-wife to prepare my son to meet me in ten minutes time. The feeling of seeing my son after seven long years cannot be explained in words but can only be felt. Me and my son had a wonderful time together in Charlotte and since then I was able to establish a relationship with my son. Still the court process is on and I am hopefull to get positive results. I am sure Steve is ready and so am I. We both will embark on this long journey to achieve what we aimed for will surely achieve.
