Divorce - Domestic Violence

Natalie was recommended to me by another lawyer to handle my divorce and domestic violence injunction. I was told she was reasonable; open to negotiation when need be and could play hard ball with the best of them. Natalie was all that and more. She helped me acquire a painful but needed temporary, a...nd one year Domestic Violence Injunction. Natalie negotiated my divorce, keeping me focused on the task at hand. Natalie was always compassionate, understanding my feelings and helped me separate them from the facts and what might be needed. She was the right person for the job and for me personally. I can't say enough good things about her and her staff. I highly recommend her.

Divorce

Natalie guided me through the process of a domestic violence injunction and divorce with compassion and professionalism. Natalie's recommendations for ligitation support were excellent. I am very grateful for Natalie and her staff's knowledge and integerity. Her continued guidance after my divorce h...as been a blessing.

Personalized attention!

Natalie handled my divorce several years ago, but she has also handled several post judgment issues for me over the past few years since my divorce was finalized. My divorce also had domestic violence issues and extensive child custody issues. Natalie was not only very knowledgeable and professiona...l, but she took my case very personally. I don’t think I would have gotten that kind of personal attention from any other lawyer. She really fought hard and passionately (but fair) for me and my young son. She listened to everything that I had to say, and then explained the whole process to me in detail. I never felt lost or alone during the process or ordeal. I would highly recommend Natalie Baird to anyone going through a divorce, custody battle, or any type of domestic violence issue.
