Extremely Satisfying Experience

We're a retired couple who'd been procrastinating far too long about putting our affairs in order. We were very gratified to find Meredith and her team who were always available to answer our questions and put our minds at ease. We feel that our final wishes will be more than fulfilled and thank ever...yone for all of their help. and support.

Valuable Counselor/ Exceptional Advocate

Trying to find an attorney is very stressful. I called Meredith Ditchen-Oakley's office and explained my situation to the receptionist. I got a call back from Meredith the same day. Meredith took the time listen to my needs then she discussed my options. She gave me a true reality check on what to ex...pect moving forward. She was extremely relatable, sympathetic, but objective and professional. When I got off the phone with her, I immediately knew she was the representative I needed. I highly recommend Meredith W. Ditchen-Oakley.

My saving Grace

Meredith was my attorney for about 6 years, through that very hard time in my life she helped keep my son in a safe protected environment. We always discussed our options and came up with the best decision for our situation and they were always unique. Meredith was always very compassionate and cari...ng. Very professional but offered a sence of friendship that made me feel very trusting of her. I Would reccomend Meredith and still consult with her. We are a healthy thriving family thanks to her.

Meredith was extremely helpful through an agonizing time of life. She is professional, she listened to me and her fees were very reasonable. I honestly am grateful to know her. You want her on your team.

Family advice session

Meredith was extremely knowledgeable on the matter. She gave me several options to choose from rather than just telling me this is what I need to do which I truly loved. She really listened patiently and even though I may have asked the same questions over and over again, she was patient enough to re...peat herself and not rush me off the phone. I had several different options that different lawyers had told me which left me very confused. However, Meredith made sure she explained all those different options and what each would mean for me. Thank you Meredith for your time. It was a pleasure speaking with you.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Dec 21

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I helped a friend with a matter outside of my expertise. Ms. Ditchen-Oakley represented the other party. I knew her reputation in the community as a tough but professional attorney. I have to say I found this to be true. Because of this encounter, I feel we now have a mutual respect for one another and refer clients to each other when their needs are outside of our specialties."
