Life Saver

Catherine Vincent and the Vincent Law Group is a great office to work with. They helped me through a very difficult and emotional time. My ex was trying to move my children out of state with his new girlfriend. Vincent Law Group worked with me so efficiently I was able to keep my children in Californ...ia. I did not have to communicate with my ex at all, Catherine and her staff took care of everything. They worked in a timely fashion and had a great attitude. I highly recommend Catherine and Vincent Law Group.

BEST ATTORNEY

Catherine Vincent was the best attorney I could have asked for. I was going through a difficult time with my ex and getting custody of my three children. Catherine took care of everything and I didn't have to deal with my ex at all. I recommend Catherine to everyone I know. She is a great attorney.

Catherine fights for father's rights!

If you want an attorney you can trust to fight for your rights as a father, who is experienced and most importantly, aggressive, I highly recommend Catherine Vincent and Vincent Family Law Group. I have been battling my ex-wife for years now, and every time she would drag me into court I would end u...p with less and less visitation time and more and more child support and spousal support to be paid. Once I hired Catherine, things changed. My ex-wife had been dragging me back and forth into court for over 18 months, and once I hired Catherine she went to work on putting an end to it all and settling out of court. Not only was she able to settle my case out of court, but she was able to get my spousal support terminated! I could have been paying spousal support for a lifetime because I was married to my ex for over 10 years. Catherine also got my child support reduced significantly, and my visitation time increased! Then, once I thought everything was said and done, my ex-wife filed for ANOTHER hearing, just 3 months after we settled. Catherine guided me through how to handle my response, and when we went into court that day the judge allowed Catherine and my ex-wife’s attorney just a few moments to state their case. Once they were through, the judge looked at my ex-wife and said two words I will never forget…”respectfully denied.” Yes indeed, I won. Finally. For the first time since my divorce I finally felt like justice was on my side, and I have Catherine Vincent to thank for that! If you are a father looking for someone to fight for your rights, Catherine Vincent is the one to get the job done! I highly recommend Attorney Catherine Vincent and the Vincent Family Law Group to handle your case. She is aggressive, determined and most importantly she is very experienced! Thank you, Catherine.

A COMPLICATED CASE

I RETAINED CATHERINE'S OFFICE FOR A COMPLICATED CUSTODY CASE. CATHERINE PERSONALLY WAS MY ATTORNEY BUT HER WHOLE OFFICE WAS VERY HELPFUL AND PROFESSIONAL. CATHERINE SHOWED ME HOW TO REPRESENT MYSELF AND WALKED ME THROUGH EVERYTHING FROM FILING FORMS, APPEARANCES AND RESPONSES. SHE ALWAYS SHOWED UP TO... COURT ON TIME, ORGANIZED AND PUT TOGETHER. I WILL FURTHER USE HER OFFICE ANYTIME I NEED TO AND HAVE REFERRED A COUPLE PEOPLE TO HER ALREADY.
