Stephen Douglas Hamilton

I retained Mr. Hamilton to help with a revision to spousal support payments. He and his staff worked closely with me to ensure that they knew precisely what my parameters and limits were, and Mr. Hamilton outlined my options realistically. He then pursued the matter efficiently--typically composing... a letter for my review as we sat in his office--and would contact me as soon as he'd heard anything from opposing counsel. He was smart, engaging, and obviously knew the law. He and his staff communicated timely and efficiently; I was never left wondering what was going on with my case. We reached a satisfactory conclusion, and I would not hesitate to retain Mr. Hamilton in the future should I need any further representation. Five stars, easily.

Mr. Hamilton has helped me through my divorce and several child custody and support issues over the years. He always looks at any problem I'm facing to determine what the best outcome for me and my children will be. There have been several occasions when I've wanted to go to court to fight something ...on principal and he has helped me weigh the cost of the battle against what I might stand to gain if I won. I know he would fight for me if I decided to go that route, but he helped me keep a level head. I know he sees his clients as people who need help, not as billable hours. He has integrity and I can't recommend him more highly.

I was referred to Mr. Hamilton by a friend who said he was the best there is in the county. I had represented myself throughout my divorce and then after several custody modifications later. I finally needed help and the advice of someone who knew what they were doing in a contentious custody battle.... Mr. Hamilton was upfront, honest, and provided me with a spectrum of outcomes, never giving me any false hope. I tend to over analyze and prepare for the worst, which he could immediately sense. He reassured me throughout the process to keep me from over analyzing. The end result was a result that I could have never imagined possible on my own and I am entirely thankful for his assistance. He has superb communication skills and by the way he interacts in the court room, you can see how well respected he is in the county as a family law attorney. His staff is friendly and kind; always making you feel welcome. It isn't stuffy and no one makes you feel like your situation is less important than the next client. It was one of the best decisions I ever made when I hired him as my attorney.

Mr. Hamilton is the very best in the business when it comes to Family Law and Child Custody cases. Mine was a very contentious divorce involving my two children and several years of court battles for custody. Mr. Hamilton took my case after three prior attorneys had proven themselves under-qualified..., inexperienced, or unmotivated. He took the necessary steps to put my case on track, and then followed through to get the very best possible outcome. He explains very clearly what to expect before each court appearance, and keeps his client well informed throughout the process. He has excellent communication skills, returns telephone calls in a timely manner, and his office staff is courteous and professional. Most importantly, Mr. Hamilton is a HUGE advocate for the children involved, always keeping their best interest at the forefront of the case. He is a Family Law Specialist, and has been for many years. Don't waste your time or money with any of the other "family law" attorneys in the area. Call Mr. Hamilton, and know you're in good hands.
