Contentious divorce

Ms. Garland represented me exceptionally well throughout a drawn-out process. Although she certainly was handling multiple case loads concurrently, she was always responsive and thorough in her interactions with the Court and me as her client. Her knowledge and experience were beneficial in getting a... better outcome than I expected.

Excellent...gives above and beyond!

Catherine is a strong attorney who helped me navigate a divorce agreement that was fair. She will give you honest, real advice and not just what you want to hear. I also appreciated the fact that she helped me see the reality of things dragging out in the court system that would escalate cost drama...tically. She truly cares about her clients, and is not there to run up your bill. I have had to consult her quite a few times after the divorce settlement as my ex has continually caused issues for me. She has consistently been there via email, phone calls, and meetings to offer me advice and guidance, often at no or minimal cost . Catherine does an incredible job of making you feel like family while at the same time working hard to get what is fair. She knows the law and will fight for you!

Professionalism with peace of mind!

I consulted with Cetherine Garland as i was referred to her by a friend of mine seeking assistance in dissolving my marriage. I was extremely worried about how difficult the process might be as I have children involved. Catherine was very informative and also understanding. By the end of the consulta...tion I knew immediately that I wanted to retain her services and continue with the process. She handled every request and concern I had promptly and in a way that made this whole process stress free. When we went to court, she represented me and answered all questions perfectly while my mind was in a million places. I would absolutely recommend Catherine's services to anyone in need and would further say it was a privelage being represented by her.

Lawyer Par Excellence

In the Summer of 2017, my wife told me she wanted a divorce--rocked my world, caught me off guard, I thought things were good, etc. When it became apparent that none of my efforts to reconcile were going to work, I knew I needed a lawyer. I had consulted with two other lawyers before I met with Ca...therine Garland. Catherine was recommended because she had a strong track record dealing with the lawyer my wife hired. After meeting with her, I knew she was the lawyer I needed. Catherine and her office were remarkably responsive; I joked with a colleague I felt like I had 24/7 and online support. She was not only knowledgeable, but has a wisdom and confidence that is apparent. And she is brutally honest--I didn't get everything I wanted, necessarily, but I got a really good agreement put in place where I keep the house and get joint custody of my children. At one point, the ex-wife threatened to tell her lawyer to file for divorce and take our differences to court. Catherine reached out to the other lawyer, talked everyone off the ledge and within a week we had an agreement I was willing to sign. I have never heard of a lawyer doing such a thing before. Catherine's office was awesome, too; everyone was 100% professional and responsive. I would HIGHLY recommend Catherine Garland to anyone needing a divorce lawyer. This was the worst thing I have ever been through, but Catherine was able to calm the waters and kept me sane during the final steps.

She did a wonderful job helping me with my case, anything I didn’t know or wanted to know she was there to help and assist me! Thanks so much for everything and I will be using her again if I ever need too.
