Posted by Cathy | November 07, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Family

Cathy B.

I had a different attorney during our divorce. Through the divorce settlement, I received the house with responsibility for the all mortgage payments. My husband would receive an equalization payment from me and would be held harmless on the mortgage. Although I tried I could not refinance to get ...his name off the mortgage and now my ex was taking me back to court requesting that my house be sold. Fortunately, I hired Martin Elwood, who turned the whole case around. He discovered that my ex did not disclose a very large asset in our divorce. Marty negotiated a settlement in which my ex dropped his case against me in return for me dropping my case against his non disclosure of an asset. Martin Elwood is a great lawyer and did an amazing job. He saved my home, lowered the equalization payment that I owed my ex and I will now receive one half of the asset that he failed to disclose. Marty’s experience and hard work turned a negative situation into a positive one for me. I would recommend Marty Elwood to anyone who is looking for a great family law attorney.

"I endorse Martin Elwood as a great family Attorney. I have referred clients to Martin on multiple occasions over the years, and all of them were impressed with his knowledge, professionalism and compassion. Divorce is a very stressful time for anyone. Sometimes it can cloud person's perspective. Martin makes that process less stressful for his clients by way of giving them confidence that he has their back."
