Thank you for my children

Meredith Ditchen Oakley and her Law Firm represented me in a divorce that was supposed to be uncontested. It turned ugly when my ex-wife wanted to move to Arizona with her new boyfriend and wanted take my Son with her. Mrs. Ditchen Oakley was up front with me about the new strategy and about the new ...costs. I shopped around and found a few attorneys that were less expensive but, not as experienced. It took 6 months to finish my case and it cost me about $20,000 less then my ex- wife paid. I was awarded custody and I was awarded attorney's fees as well! In my opinion there is no better attorney to have on your side when what you are fighting for is so very, very important. Mrs. Ditchen Oakley kept me informed, returned my calls and was Amazing in court! Thank you for giving me back my Son. A Very Happy Dad!

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."
