Zelma V Letarte

Zelma helped me tremendously in resolving my high conflict divorce. She’s honest, tough, professional, knowledgeable and hard working. From our first phone call to our last, she was my rock. I don’t think most people can say this about their attorney - she was worth every penny. She was referred ...to me by a reputable retired divorce attorney. He told me he didn’t like going up against her in trial, because she’s sharp and a bulldog.

Zelma represented me in a very acrimonious divorce. I honestly don't know how she put up with all of my emotions for 2 years. She was always very calm when I wasn't, and would explain the law or strategy in layman's terms. Zelma was sincerely interested and caring about the outcome of my case. She ex...plained circumstances matter of factly even if I didn't want to hear the outcome. Zelma is extremely knowledgeable in family law. I recommend Zelma Letarte 100% for an affordable and winning attorney. I can honestly state that after my divorce I learned how to move forward and not backward with bitterness because of her caring nature during and at the final decree of the divorce. I am a very strong personality and I learned a lot about empathy and fairness from Zelma.

I called Zelma due to threats from my spouse to file for divorce. Zelma took the time to listen to my situation, provide feedback and excellent information, and even recommended several things I should do in preparation. She even suggested that I not invest any money just yet, but wait for action o...n the part of my spouse. l really felt informed and much more prepared. I would highly recommended her to anyone who is facing similar circumstances, and plan to hire her if my spouse pursues a divorce.

Going through a divorce is one of the hardest events in life. You go in thinking that the amicable path may be possible; whatever brought you and your spouse together in the first place, will somehow help you part as friends. Often that is not the case and this case in particular was a horrific, comp...licated mess of a 30+ year marriage. Zelma turned out to be angel, the one you pray for to save you from this mess. Her legal skills are superior as she was able problem-solve through all the issues. She has the social finesse to fight for you passionately while coming off as likeable to all parties (nobody likes or respects the aggressive, antagonistic bulldog, which was the type representing the other party). Above all, and much more importantly, Zelma cares about you as a human being and she is a good person who wants to help others. That aspect is ultimately what is needed to move on with your life. And this aspect can be the hardest to gauge as you look for an attorney. She helped us see the big picture, get pass the feeling that this entire situation was unjust and unfair. She will make sure justice is served but also doesn’t let you to get caught up (emotionally and financially) in every petty fight that the other party creates to simply antagonize you in hopes you will give up the case. Zelma is direct and compassionate, which is not an easy combination to find. I will spend the rest of my life thinking God I found her and would strongly recommend her to anyone going through divorce or child custody issues.
