THE ABSOLUTE BEST! Intelligent, professional, and you can trust her 100% to do an amazing job with integrity.

Integrity. When I think of Mrs Waterhouse and how amazing she represented me in my recent divorce, that is the word that comes to my mind. Mrs Waterhouse showed compassion, respect, and integrity throughout the entire process. You truly know that she values her clients and you can trust that she will... do the best for you and your future. I had 100% trust in all aspects of this process with her as my attorney. In negotiations, she worked so efficiently it was a peace that was much needed so I could make the right decision for myself and my children. Mrs Waterhouse and her entire staff at her firm were the most proactive, professional, and organized. My case they took on in a short time frame was extensive and heavy. However, they tackled it with patience, promptness, and professionalism, I did not receive anywhere else. They succeeded in any expectations and hopes I had. I truly know that the outcome of my divorce would not have been as successful as it was if it was not for Mrs Waterhouse's knowledge, expertise, intelligence, and diligence. I am forever grateful to her for helping secure a future for me and my children.

Highly recommend!!!

Casey is a great family law attorney in Fort Walton Beach, Florida! My child’s mother was refusing to give me a copy of valid life insurance per our child’s custody order and essentially fabricated a story saying I was asking for it because I was trying to harm her and her “Air force Career”. The mot...her was previously awarded a temp order because I wrongfully name called her husband for being in national news but was now trying to use a new fake claim to affect my time with our child. As ridiculous as the current allegations were I didn’t want to risk losing any time due to seeing previously how easily injunctions can be given. Casey was fully prepared and made the picture very clear to the judge the context of the situation was completely different than what the mother claimed. Thank you Casey.

Divorce

I went through a nasty, disgusting divorce against an ex wife and her parents that had an unlimited supply of funds and who’s purpose was to destroy me as a father and a person. Casey and her team used facts, evidence, and the law to make sure no amount of money or lies was going to ruin me or my re...lationship with my children. I will never be able to show the happiness and how much better off I am because of what Casey has done for me and my children. Casey truly is an amazing person and the BEST family lawyer in town !!!! Highly highly recommend !!!!! Definitely the best lawyer in Shalimar !!!!

Divorce

Mrs.Waterhouse was very specific in helping me file an addeum to a non contested divorce , which in turn greatly helped my case. She made things much easier at the hearing. She is very well versed in acomendating advice she would give in the scenario of my situation. I highly recommend her, she was h...ighly recommended to me.

7th Special Forces Group (A) Military Top Family Lawyer

Okaloosa is not the best when fighting for a fair custody/child support legal matter. This is for you Military personnel. Ms. Waterhouse assisted me in fighting one of the hardest family custody matter in Judges Flowers Chambers. According to Judge Flowers "this was one of the hardest custody case he... has witness" Ms. Waterhouse, was in combat fighting the opponent to attention to detail. She was aggressive, firmed, and thought when getting me what I requested from her. Despite the other party false manipulations and negative description about my father capabilities. Ms. Waterhouse executed and reveal to the court the mother's lies because she only wanted me to loose timesharing percentage in order for her to received more child support. Ms. Waterhouse, call me, wrote me e-mails, we prepared for the case multiple times, she was very serious about my custody. She cares for Military and she is familiar with Military custody battles to regulation, statutes, and laws. I was very satisfied with her services, and I don't want you to loose your timesharing to a weak lawyer that only takes your money and don't performed when it matters. You only have one chance to get it right and she will get it right. From 7th Special Forces Group (A) and the Military here in this County I thank you and we Thank You for standing for my rights. Job Well Done. Thank You Ms. Casey God Knows how much I appreciated what you did for me and my Daughters. Ariana & Isabella will Thank you when they get older.
