Catherine E. M. Barker

I feel so blessed to have had the honor of having Catherine Barker as my lawyer. I hired her in regards to a custody case that had 2 states involved and the circumstances were complicated. Catherine was very professional and knowledgeable. She always took the time to fully listen and seemed to genuin...ely care about my individual situation. Also, she responded promptly and informatively to all my concerns and questions and made me feel so much more at ease throughout the process. She straightened out the complications and resolved the case in a very efficient manner with the outcome ending up just as I had hoped for. She went above and beyond any expectations or hopes that I had and truly amazed me with her kindness as well as her proficiency. I am quite grateful to have found such an outstanding lawyer and very strongly recommend having Catherine as an advocate.

Catherine represented and helped me navigate through my divorce in 2014. I couldn't have asked for a more reliable expert. She guided me through child custody issues and some harsh accusations from my ex-husband. She kept me sane through one of the most difficult years of my life. During a pendent li...te hearing, her arguments impressed the Judge and ultimately led to a quick settlement. She understands the law, personality of the judges, and works well with opposing counsel. She was honest with me and set reasonable expectations. Catherine is a hard worker and I have the utmost respect for her. I would highly, highly recommend her.

When I realized that I needed a really good lawyer, I felt scared because I had no idea what I was doing or ever thought I would be in this situation. I went to Gervertz Menashe law firm and was lucky to be placed with Catherine Barker- she immediately eased my way by taking the time to get to know m...e and listen to my situation. Her experience and professionalism in family law exceeded my expectations. There was a lot of drama from the other party during my path to divorce, and Ms.Barker always knew when the drama mattered to the court and when it did not. She continually relieved me of my anxiety; she answered my questions as quickly and as concisely as possible, all the while making sure I understood what it all meant. Ms. Barker truly cares. She helped me to get a fair deal. She saved me from having to battle in court---all because she was my advocate and on my side every step of the way. I highly recommend Ms. Barker to anyone. Her philosophy is that “it will get better” and her attitude and experience really will help you to get there.

Catherine assisted me with my divorce. From the beginning she was very understanding and helped ensure that I understood every step of the process as well as my rights in the property settlement and parenting time. She was very professional and represented my interests very well. I would easily re...commend her and have done so to other people in similar situations.

Catherine Barker handled my divorce for me. She took the time to listen to me, but kept me focused too. She was very level headed in her advice and made a difficult time much easier. She helped to keep me from getting caught up in the turmoil that happens with these things. She took care of everythin...g promptly and thoroughly, and gave me invaluable advice. She went over things I hadn't even thought about to make sure that I was being treated fairly re: custody/property division/taxes. Catherine is assertive when she needs to be, and always practical. She also takes time to listens to concerns. She always has her clients best interest in mind. I was very thankful that I had Catherine working for me. I would recommend Catherine to anyone needing a solid family law attorney.
