Dennis M. Germain

I retained Mr. Dennis M. Germain to represent me during divorce proceedings. In a few words, Dennis proved to be an honest, hard working family lawyer who made every effort to explain the intricacies of the divorce procedures. He did his best to minimize the difficulties and his advice proved to be... invaluable. He coordinated the necessary experts and tried to expedite the process avoiding additional costs and delays. Dennis is a gentleman and executed his professional responsibilities flawlessly. I am very pleased with the advice and direction he gave me resulting in a fair and equitable settlement.

I am a mother of three children.  Before I hired attorney Dennis Germain in my divorce case, I was stuck in a hole of which I thought there was no way out.   My ex-husband had strong armed himself into control over all of the marital finances, essentially destroying my credit, and placing me at his m...ercy with regard to basic financial needs; he had carried out a long complicated plan where he tricked me out of the marital home under the guise that he was selling it (yet he never actually did); he gained control over my involvement with our children (the same children that I raised as the primary homemaker); and he carefully coordinated a scenario that caused me to look crazy and helpless, by most objective observers on initial review, who did not know me.   In other words, he set the stage for me to be fighting with my hands tied behind my back.  He had ALL of the cards, ALL of the power, ALL of the finances, and a very believable story on his side.  I had NOTHING … only who I knew who I was but had lost somewhere in the process. When I made it to Dennis, I was scared, actually petrified and worried for the future, mostly when it came to my children and how I was possibly going to make it financially, having not worked outside the home or have anything to fall back on. I was at an all-time low. But Dennis stepped in and took over. He was upfront and honest. He told me the process was going to be a grueling and that I could not expect overnight results. He went through the facts piece by piece and began to unravel my ex-husband’s elaborate plan.  Dennis got in touch with witnesses (police officers, the real estate agent, military retirement experts, expert custody and mental health professionals, neighbors, etc.).  Dennis obtained affidavits, sent out subpoenas, sent out endless piles of discovery requests, and WOULD NOT STOP until my ex-husband provided every single document, and answered every single question under oath that Dennis requested.  Dennis filed document after document with the Court, gradually moving me to a better position.  He was able to get me an acceptable temporary monthly spousal support while the case was pending.   Ultimately he was able to organize the facts and financial data in organized spreadsheets to where I could make a better educated financial decision in the matter (something I was previously unable to do, because I was blocked access to such information from an ex-spouse being a bully). In the end, I was awarded a good custody arrangement where I am now again involved in our children’s lives like I am supposed to be and want to be, I was awarded spousal support, I was awarded child support that will increase as time goes on. I was awarded substantial portions of my ex-husband’s military pension, his federal pension, and virtually all of his federal thrift savings plan.  Dennis drafted an impenetrable judgment of divorce, of which I have had to enforce on multiple occasions, as my ex has had a difficult time letting go of his bullying tactics, and with Dennis’s consistent help and knowledge of the law, helped me fight and win consistently.  Dennis helped me out from under a miserable, hopeless, oppressive financial arrangement, to where I gained financial independence, am working, and going to school. I am in my children’s lives, moving forward in my future, and even getting a new home! You would probably not believe my story and it would take hours for you to fully understand it ... But Dennis took it on, weeded through the mess, and the soon to be ex-spouse who was being a complete bully. I cannot fully explain what Dennis did for me, except to say this, he literally helped bring me from that dark day when I first came into his office, to where I am today. I strongly recommend Dennis Germain’s divorce services. KS - Mother, Customer Service Rep, & Medical Assistant Student

I had been attempting to complete a divorce by myself. Eventually things got a little too complicated and I knew I needed an attorney to step in and help me resolve my case. I found Attorney Dennis Germain by doing a search of attorneys in my area and gave him a call outlining some details of my divo...rce along with some questions I had. Right from the first phone call he was willing to answer my questions and explain some things I had not considered. I knew if I was going to go through with getting an attorney he was the one I was going to go with. Mr. Germain stepped in and helped me properly complete the last couple of steps of my divorce. Through my experience I can say if you are attempting to complete a divorce yourself....don't. Divorce can be stressful and complicated even if amicable. Get someone who knows what they are doing to help you and fight for you. I would recommend Dennis Germain to anyone in a heartbeat. If you are looking for someone compassionate, helpful, thorough, responsive, and knowledgable - this is the attorney for you.

I am a mother who works somewhere in between part time and full time.  I hired Attorney Dennis Germain for my divorce case in Macomb County.  I am completely satisfied with his family law services.   My ex-husband also hired an attorney.  Mr. Germain did a very great job of being cooperative yet aggr...essive at the same time.  Mr. Germain was very clever in his approach which allowed me to get what I wanted out of the divorce without making it ugly or completely alienating my ex-husband and his attorney.  I was awarded primary custody rights, a more than fair property and debt award, payment of most of my bills for a set period of time, spousal support, and child support.  These extra awards are helping me to get better integrated in the work force and making the transition to my post-divorce life much more manageable.  Plus I still have a decent relationship with my ex-husband, which is, of course best for the children.  Due to our arrangements and separation goals, my ex-husband and I had some very unique requests in terms of custody, cohabitation, payment of bills, and support.  This was no problem for Mr. Germain who offered creative drafting solutions to our unique needs.  My husband was the one who hired an attorney and filed the case as the Plaintiff.  But when I hired Mr. Germain, he jumped right in and took the case over.   He was in full control of how it was all going to go down.  I am very happy I hired Dennis Germain as my lawyer.  He is a great family law and divorce attorney.

Divorce is not easy. My regular attorney recommended Dennis Germain for my divorce and confidently put me in good hands. Dennis is diligent, he is responsive and he went above and beyond to protect my interests in a complicated situation. He worked on the weekends, responded to my many texts and c...ustom requests. He even dealt directly with my now ex wife to relay detail and set the right expectations. I am extremely pleased with his work and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for exceptional divorce legal council. Thank you Dennis--
