The best during the worst...

Hannah sincerely cared about the outcome and wellbeing of myself and my daughter. Her concern and the priority she placed on always asking about my daughter and ensuring the case was going in the direction that had my daughter's best interest in mind was noticeable every twist and turn of my case (an...d there were A LOT of those). Hannah was always steps ahead in planning for my case anticipating best and worst case scenarios. She was always transparent and carried herself professionally no matter how low or dishonestly (and sometimes illegally) opposing counsel behaved. I was so proud to have Hannah represent me in court because of her integrity and professionalism. She carried the weight of how impactful the outcome of my case would be on my life and my daughters life moving forward and I always felt how much she truly cared about us. I enthusiastically recommend Hannah to anyone ready to take this step in their divorce or custody case. Im so grateful to have found her during what was the worst time of my life.

If you have to get a lawyer-choose Hannah

I am dealing with a concussion and a difficult divorce. Hannah and Kelly (paralegal) have really helped me through this step by step, since online tasks give me migraines! At our in person meeting they were willing to help me look through data and keep the lights off while we worked. Hannah listened ...to my needs and made it happen. I'm not glad I needed a lawyer but I'm glad I found Hannah!

Highly recommended!! She is an outstanding lawyer.

I am very grateful to Mrs. Westmont as she was an amazing lawyer. She is very reasonable and thoughtful in her approach and throughout the entire court process I felt heard, respected and advocated for. Her commitment to her clients, and their children, is felt throughout the process. I deep...ly appreciated her approach to my case and ability to see through the chaos that can ensue during separations/divorces. She is very accessible and provides not only terrific legal support, she also deeply cares about her clients. She worked tirelessly on my case and I highly recommend her.

Amazing

Hannah was very attentive and very respectful. Every case is different and she takes that fact very seriously. She understands all of the different family dynamics and how they play into different court cases. She cares about the legality side of separation and divorce but also cares about the emotio...nal aspect to it as well. As with all divorces, things can become heated and contested quite quickly but Hannah always manages to be professional and courteous to the other party. She's very supportive and ALWAYS has her client's best interests in mind. She's always quick to respond to e-mails and phone calls and she always makes sure that every detail is covered. She also wants to make sure you know what you are getting yourself into, what your options are and that you understand all the legality issues regarding your case. I would recommend her to ANYONE going through a divorce.

Compassionate and knowlegeable

Hannah and her team helped me though a emotionally difficult divorce. She not only gave me knowledge to make an informed decision, but explained those things I was not aware of. The highest of praise to you and your firm.
