Seaborn Gardner Eastland

Gardner (he goes by Gardner but his name is Seaborn) helped me get through a separation and child custody situation that got messier as time went on. I was dealing with a same-sex partner who was disabled and bi-polar. Many times he had to deal with changes in verbal agreements right up until the a...ctual signing of papers. It was CRAZY. Gardner told me upfront that this would be his first same-sex situation, but that he was very interested in learning more about it. He contacted former professors, re-read law books to find nuances, etc, to learn about the unique situation. He never once seemed frustrated or inconvenienced, even though we had to go to mediation for 7 hours on a Saturday. Once the mediation got going, he didn't back down and worked through everything so I got the house and the kids, and some support and the college savings plan - basically everything. I would hire Gardner again and recommend him to anyone who needs a knowledgeable, compassionate, yet fierce attorney. And - he worked out a payment plan with me!!!

I enlisted the services of Mr. Eastland for a prenuptial agreement in 2007 based on a referral. From first impression to execution he presented himself very well, was highly knowledgeable, and provided personalized counsel throughout the entire process. During the first office visit, I explained my ...situation and the goal for which I hoped to achieve through his services. Immediately, Gardner articulated the various options as well as a recommendation to ensure I was protected. The neat part was his ability to make both my wife and I feel comfortable from beginning to end. Considering the sometimes contentious nature of prenuptial agreements, I was impressed. Gardner has since provided an excellent referral to the attorney that put together our wills and children's trust.

I am a woman who had the fortune of having a friend that referred me to Mr. Eastland. I had absolutely NO knowledge about divorce, or what it entailed...I honestly never thought it would happen to me. However, in the ending months, I learned that my spouse had a very bad mental disorder, and when it ...came to divorce, he would be very difficult to deal with. In the beginning stages of my divorce, my thoughts were all over the place, and I was, for lack of a better term, freaking out. I discovered I was married to a sociopath. From day one, Mr. Eastland told me that family law was a 24/7 business, and was very interested in taking my case. Over a time span of a couple of months, he learned EXACTLY who I was dealing with, and soon became someone I knew was not only my attorney, but a friend who was concerned about everything that worried me. Divorcing a sociopath is an incredibly hard thing to do, but Mr. Eastland has shown me concern, and aggressiveness that is absolutely necessary when dealing with this situation. My marriage is not one that concerns a great deal of assets. It, under ordinary circumstances, would be a very basic divorce, minus the disorder. Mr. Eastland is very experienced with more detailed cases, with many more assets. However, in my case, there is the well being of a child at stake, and he took my case on with nothing less than 100%. My therapist even told me that in all of her years of practice and dealing with this disorder, she has NEVER seen an attorney as aggressive as mine, with my very best concerns at heart. From this point forward, even after my divorce is final, any of my family's legal matters that require a family law attorney will be completed by Mr. Eastland, and after my superb experience with him, I have many friends who are already seeking his legal counsel. Mr. Eastland is incredibly knowledgeable, and quick on his feet. I would recommend him highly to anyone in need of a good family law attorney.
