Excellent Work

Like most people, I don’t like to spend any more money than I have to, and a divorce is an expensive proposition. You know how sometimes you find a deal on something and you can’t believe you only had to pay X to get Y? I’ve had that happen in the past with guitars. I was pleasantly surprised to find... the same kind of deal in my legal representation. Ms. Perkins became my attorney midway through my divorce. I was frustrated and worn down both by the process and what I perceived as the apathy, lack of follow through and uncommunicative nature of my previous counsel. At the beginning, she told me what my expectations should be: that she would always be available, that she would communicate, that she would work hard, and that she would always be honest whether I wanted to hear it or not. She fulfilled all of those expectations. I’m pretty sure opposing counsel liked Ms. Perkins more than he did his own client. And while I certainly couldn’t blame him, there were real benefits for me beyond confirming my opinion that no one in their right mind could stand my ex. The respect that she obviously had from both opposing counsel and the judge made the process more pleasant and created a more favorable environment for me to get what I wanted. At the end of the day, your attorney’s ability to get you what you want is the only true measure of their value. I came out ahead, and I don’t think the other side is even aware of it. That’s quality work. I never got the sense that Ms. Perkins had any agenda other than to get me the best deal possible, and I always felt that she was looking out for my best interests. She was creative and energetic in her approach, diligent in her execution, and thorough in her follow-up. My case took a fairly long time to resolve and as you might expect in such a protracted process there were highs and lows. Ms. Perkins steady counsel kept me grounded during the highs and supported during the lows. She was genuinely sympathetic- you can tell when it’s honest- and that manifested itself in what I thought was extra effort, but she might always work that hard. I’ve already recommended her services to a friend and I would be more than happy to use her again. Not that I plan on getting any more divorces, but as I understand it she does estate planning as well.
