Dennis M. Germain

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

If you are considering divorce, do the very minimum and call Dennis. You will immediately realize that he is the attorney to hire to handle your case.

I am a father who had an interstate child support matter arising out of issues from Oakland County Michigan and Pinellas County Florida. Due to poor synchronization between Michigan’s and Florida’s interstate offices of support, the child support record keeping in my matter was grossly inaccurate. ... In fact, they were off in their accounting by around $40,000.00 to my detriment. Because of the errors, state enforcement sanctions were issued against me, including the suspension of my driver’s license. This was devastating considering that I work in the transportation business. I tried to address the matter on my own, but was unsuccessful. I hired attorney Dennis Germain to handle this matter. Mr. Germain pulled all the records from both states, dealt with the Oakland County Friend of the Court, Florida Interstate Child Support Office, and Florida Department of Revenue, and was able to get all entities on the same page and to appropriately adjust their accounting. Mr. Germain helped me to get all wrongful sanctions lifted and my driver’s license was immediately restored by the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles. Mr. Germain was prompt, communicative, and always available. I highly recommend his office if you have a child support matter. -NM Father, Owner of Full Service Taxi Company
