Fiona is the BEST attorney I've ever hired!

I hired Fiona for some child support modifications and agreements that were necessary well after my divorce was final. My only regret is that I didn't meet her earlier and wasn't able to hire her to handle my litigation from the very beginning. I have dealt with too many attorneys to even remember th...oughout the 10+ year ordeal of my divorce and Fiona is by far the best I've ever met. I know that if I had met her in the beginning, I would have had a much different and amicable outcome than I ended up with. I'll start by saying that she was respectful of me as a client and, unlike many attorneys, didn't try to force me into useless confrontation. She understood what I wanted and worked on my behalf for the solution which achieved the outcome I needed. She was easy to communicate with, responsive, and really made me feel like I finally had somebody on my side. That's a feeling I hadn't known for a LONG time. Fiona knows the law and will advise you in a straighforward manner about what is and isn't possible: all while allowing you to make the ultimate decision on how things should go. She is the most professional attorney I've ever met. I don't recall ever seeing her get flustered or caught off guard, either in front of the judge or because of another attorney. I've seen a lot of attorneys who talked a big game, but then fell apart in court. Fiona was very comfortable and professional in front of the judge. That is a very important thing to consider, especially if you are involved in a contentious divorce. Fiona helped me get to the finish line of my ordeal with dignity and respect, when I thought I was going to get put through the ringer one last time before it was all over. She didn't let that happen to me. The only thing left for Fiona to do is to create the pre-nuptual agreements for my children when the time comes for them to marry. I won't let them marry without it and I won't use anyone else to do it but Fiona. The best decision you will ever make is to hire Fiona to represent you. If you still need convincing, she has my permission to allow you to contact me for a reference.

Highly Recommended

Fiona McCormick was recommended to me by a friend. Fiona did an amazing job of squaring up to my ex-spouse's corporate employer who'd stopped paying my alimony for no reason and was refusing to discuss the matter with me. Within a couple of months Fiona had "persuaded" them to start towing the line a...gain and reinforced their legal obligations. Fiona is a solid attorney who doesn't play games, she just gets the job done! I would highly recommend her and know I can rely on her if I experience any further problems.

Fiona is an outstanding attorney!

I was recommended Fiona McCormick of the Law Offices of David Del Re by a colleague. There are not enough words to describe the appreciation and the hard work Fiona did for myself and my kids. I consulted with Fiona McCormick and hired her to help me gain custody of my kids. From the moment I sat ...with Fiona, I knew she was a hard worker, tough and calculating. First, I had to overturn an OP, which Joseph Fusz of the same office assisted with and did. After that, Fiona sought to give me sole decision making and majority parenting time. Throughout the process, Fiona communicated with me about every filing, every thought process she had and every option I had. She was always accessible too. I knew I could email her or call her office at anytime and she would make herself available to discuss the case. She was extremely courteous and listened to all my concerns which she would appropriately address in her filings. Her professionalism and her communication kept me calm and comfortable during an extremely stressful period. Even when the parenting agreement was established and the case was closed, Fiona took time to hear my concerns regarding any incident or problem that arose afterwards. She would reopen the case and continue her work. Of all my concerns, the greatest that Fiona looked after the most was the children's interest. In every decision, she (and our GAL) made sure the interest and safety of the children was protected. In the end, not only did Fiona help me gain sole decision making and custody of my children, but she also put in stipulations to make sure the children were safe when they are with the other parent. I would highly recommend that anyone looking for a family attorney to seriously consider hiring Fiona McCormick. Thank you so much for all you have done and continue to do!

Couldn't as for more.

I was going through a divorce that was extremely unpleasant. My ex husband's lawyer was friends with the judge and things just kept going his way. I hired Fiona''s office and they set Fiona as my lawyer. From the very beginning she was amazing. She made me feel like everything would be ok and she wen...t to battle for me. She never never waived in her beliefs on what was right. No matter how much his lawyer tried to sway her to agree to there terms, Fiona stood her ground and never waivered. When we walked into the court room I did so with my head held high knowing that no matter what she was there for me to make things right. I could never have asked for a better lawyer and would never choose another. Noone can compare to the compassion and drive that this woman has for her clients. If your looking for the best lawyer you could ever ask for look no further because she's right here... Thank you Fiona for everything you have done for me and my son. You truly are an amazing woman...
