Posted by Christine | June 25, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Experienced, Wise and Trustworthy Divorce Attorney

Divorce is never easy. Even in "amicable" cases, it can turn dirty. I wanted to handle the process without attorneys, but when my ex- lawyered up, I needed someone to stand up for me. Phil and his decades of experience made me feel protected and safe. Where some divorce attorneys fuel the fire and f...ighting between exes to rack up their bills (over years and years), Phil has been through it all - and has learned the wisdom of taking the most smooth road possible. Don't get me wrong, he won't let anyone bully his clients, he defends and fights for what is fair, but he also wants to guide his clients to a quick resolution with the most peace as possible under the circumstances. He is not cheap, but his experience and mindful handling of cases makes him worth it. Especially when you want an attorney you trust and believe in.

Exceptionally difficult process but Philip dragged it over the finish line

Exceptionally difficult divorce due to the unyeilding, intransigent approach adopted by my ex and opposing council. Philip took a calm, steady approach that eventually terminated in a fair settlement. Recommended.

Highly Recommend

I retained Philip Daigneault to represent me in my divorce. He took over the case under dire circumstances: my former attorney kept piling up legal bills, negotiated a support stipulation that would have led to my bankruptcy, and let my case stagnate for over 6 months. The former attorney wanted to p...lace a lien on my house for $100,000 to cover litigation expenses. My ex- and her attorneys were not responsive, used sharp tactics to gain advantage, had little regard for facts, argued oral agreement for transfer of real estate based on undocumented conversations 15 years ago, ignored a bona fide settlement offer, and repeatedly threatened to dispose of my household property. The former attorney seemed to be at a loss with how to deal with all this. Philip quickly and efficiently took over my case, prepared for trial, won a critical RFO hearing on support, and negotiated a full settlement within 2 months! Results were better than I could have imagined. He obtained everything I needed and obtained concessions I could not have imagined. And, he did this while containing costs and fees. He and his team are terrific and knowledgeable attorneys who just happen to provide excellent customer service. They are highly experienced, knowledgeable, responsive, professional, ethical, and honest. As a consumer, I feel I received top value. Philip is a terrific human being who has restored my faith in lawyers. I can attest that there is a class of ethical, highly effective lawyers and Phil Daigneault is at the top of that class.
