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.

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.

When my marriage dissolved into a highly contentious, dramatic mess, all I knew was that I needed a lawyer fast. I got a quick and empathetic response from Gevurtz & Menashe and Catherine was recommended to me for my case. She acknowledged the importance of handling my case quickly and got to work. E...very step of the way she kept me informed and responded to each of my emails almost immediately. She fought aggressively for me and in the end, I got everything I was asking for. She was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what to expect from the trials. Despite what felt like a constant stream of potentially damaging motions from the opposition, she kept me optimistic and supported me when things felt helpless. She worked hard and fast from start to finish, and in the end, the entire divorce was over in 3 months! I highly recommend Catherine.
