Margaret A. Chamberlain

I have been a client of Chamberlain Law Firm for over seven years! I first came to Margaret in the middle of a custody battle. Prior to meeting with her I tried to handle things on my own and landed myself in a very precarious position. I did not wish to fight with my ex, but simply do what was go...ing to be best for the two young children. My ex had other plans. In hindsight I wish I would have met with her sooner. If you are considering whether you should or shouldn't get an attorney… You need to just come speak with Margaret. She is a wealth of knowledge! I won't bore you with the sob story that was my life. All I can say is Margaret took ALL my mess...and it WAS a mess! She explained very thoroughly what my expectation should be, what I should do, what I should be prepared for. From the first time that I walked into Margaret Chamberlain's office and met Deanne and Kathy I felt cared for. I felt like they understood my goal was to protect my children and not to hurt someone else. Over the years I have grown very fond of those women not just on a personal level, but I have the upmost respect for their level of professionalism and and competence. I have never called with a question that couldn't be answered, and if they didn't have an answer Deanne was sure to get back to me promptly. I have asked this law firm for help on many different occasions raging from divorce decrees, child custody and visitation, contempt hearing's, and modification of orders. I have referred close friends to her as well and they have been ecstatic with their results! In the end we all want what's best for our children, or maybe we don't have children and someone is trying to take advantage of us. It's important to have someone like Margaret protecting you.

We contacted Chamberlain Law Firm to help us with estate planning for the 2 of us at first. When life happened, we continued to contact the firm to assist us in adoption, second parent adoption and updating our estate planning. We will be heading back again soon to update the estate documents again..., and will continue going back. This Firm is professional and determined to ensure that your best interests are met. Everyone provides a personal experience whether it is to help you plan or to help you in your current situation. We have, and will continue to, recommend this Firm to countless friends and family.

My wife and I hired the Chamberlain Law Firm to help us with a custody case during a time when same-sex marriage was not recognized in South Carolina, therefore our Vermont wedding held little weight. The custody agreement was quite restrictive and prohibited my wife and I and our children from livin...g together unless legally married. Margaret and her team worked tirelessly for us, and in July of 2015, we won our case and were finally allowed to live together as a family. We then hired them to draw up wills for us. Margaret and Melissa are professional, attentive, supportive and determined. After losing at our very first court hearing, my wife and I were feeling hopeless. The next day, we received a card in the mail from Margaret assuring us that the fight was not over, and she would continue until we won the rights we deserved. We would recommend Margaret to anyone! (We were so pleased with Margaret that we actually named our Great Dane puppy after her.)
