Godsend!!!!!!

God led me to Ms. Waterhouse and now I know why! She is prepared and punctual! She works with you not just for you! Very compassionate, yet very agreesive! She was able to get those testifying against me to testify for me!! She was able to persuade the magistrate and judge to send my son with me to a...nother state. She is worth every penny!!! God bless her!!!!

Wonderful person and awesome attorney.

What can I say....I owe her so much....I've been going through a terrible divorce for almost 8 years... Casey took it over the last 4.....her and her staff could not have been more helpful and attentive....always kept me abreast of what to expect and how she would handle it... Casey is very compassio...nate toward her clients...I know that first hand....kind and understanding...but make no mistake..when she hits the courtroom she's a beast...so proud of her and how she protected me...I simply couldn't have asked for better representation...this was the worst thing to ever go through in my life but Casey calmed the waters....as long as I live I can never repay her and what she did for me...thank you Casey....I'll always be in your debt...

Casey Waterhouse is an excellent attorney

Casey Waterhouse and her staff were very helpful in my divorce proceedings. In our initial meeting Ms. Waterhouse spent almost two hours discussing my situation and helping me understand the process to end a marriage. She was both compassionate and professional, and I left that meeting with a certain...ty that she would do a good job. During the actual process of completing the required steps, I was kept informed of all activity along the way, and all of my questions and concerns were addressed quickly and completely. I would definitely give Ms. Waterhouse and her staff my highest recommendation.

Posted by John Garnett | April 23, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Alimony

Best Attorney in Okaloosa County

I cannot put into words the sincere and professional manner in which Ms Waterhouse represented me in a contempt charge for failing to pay my lifetime alimony (I was 3 yrs in arrears). She kept me out of jail and saved me a bucket of cash in penalties and interest. I was so impressed I hired her for a...nother case to lower my alimony payments. Who knew in Florida it was legal to compare on current disability wage with mt wage when I got divorced 20 years ago! Even though we loss that one, I was stuck with my ex’s lawyer fees. She negotiated the fee down from $5000 to $1500 and even got me 90 days same as cash! Is there no end to what this highly capable law professional can accomplish? I have a 3rd case I am bringing against my ex and Casey is my attorney . You really need to put 100% faith in this attorney and hire her.

THE BEST!!!!!! HONEST/LOYAL/SMART/REASONABLE

Ms. Waterhouse is the one you want on your side and not sitting across from you in a court room. She shows up ready and prepared. Each and every case she devotes her heart to and you are not just a file number. She is NOT greedy by any means and will not drive your bill up to line her pockets. if y...ou are looking for an honest and loyal attorney go with her!!!!!! I have always felt like she was my "big" sister fighting for me and not just my attorney!!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
