Dennis M. Germain

After an unfortunate divorce decision, Dennis was found by online reviews after a not great consult with a larger, local family law firm. Dennis from start to end was the perfect attorney. He was always professional, emphatic, timely, extremely intelligent and communicative, engaged, fair in pricin...g and kind. Beyond the legal and technical side of things, he unexpectedly helped through some of the emotional side of the divorce. Without hesitation, I would hire him again (hopefully never need him again). I would not look elsewhere for any family law needs.

Mr. Germain made my divorce almost look easy. I wondered why I hadn't done it years ago. He walked me through every step of the process, was extremely knowledgeable, reassuring and quick to follow up. He is very perceptive and compassionate. It was almost like having a big brother handle my case.... Have no reservations. If you are looking into any Family Law case, this is the attorney to call.

I hired family law attorney, Dennis Germain, to represent me in a motion to modify child custody in Macomb County Circuit Court. I hired him after being unsatisfied with the services of my previous divorce attorney. Dennis had a painstaking intake process to collect information and secure supportin...g documentation and witnesses. It took some time for us to be fully prepared to initiate our case, so I had to be patient. But I recognized that this leg work was putting us in the strongest position to achieve our goals. Once we were satisfied with our preparation, Dennis sent initial proposals to my ex-wife and her attorney, of which they rejected outright. In response, Dennis filed a motion to modify custody with a supporting brief and documents, and we went on the attack. We were much more prepared than my ex-wife and her attorney, and we dominated at the referee hearing on my motion to modify custody and parenting time. For every argument that opposing counsel had, Dennis and I had a better counter-argument, along with the supporting documents, corroborating examples, and witnesses on deck. The referee ruled overwhelmingly in my favor. When my ex-wife and her attorney objected to the referee recommendation, we had to go in front of the judge, and we dominated again. Dennis was much more prepared, he knew the law better, he knew the facts better, and his written work product was exceedingly better than our opponent’s. After getting backed into a corner and being repeatedly demoralized in court, my ex-wife had nowhere left to go other than losing to us at trial. She folded and gave in to the custody and parenting time arrangement that I had initially asked for (the one that she had initially rejected), plus I was awarded a few other concessions. As icing on the cake, I also had my child support greatly reduced. Dennis was communicative, fair, and always made time for me. I strongly recommend his services, and I have even recommended family and others to him following my case. TP, Father, Medical Field

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.
