Posted by Carrie | April 05, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Outstanding Attorney!

I was dealing with a very complicated divorce. Casey came highly recommended by a friend of mine who had recently been represented by her office. My case was probably much more complicated than most, in that it was a long term marriage involving children and multiple business interests. Casey was rea...listic when explaining potential outcomes of my case. Casey was prompt in her correspondence with the courts and was able to get my case resolved in a reasonable amount of time given the multitude of issues my case presented. Going through this process is emotionally and at time physically draining. I was fortunate enough to have chosen the right person for the job the first time. I would highly recommend Casey as a conscious and competent attorney who fought for what was right in my case.

The Best in Merced County

My experience with the court system, my previous attorney, and an extremely difficult ex who used the children and court for vindictive reasons had left me with zero confidence that I would ever find light at the end of the tunnel. I first walked into Casey’s office with a huge mess of custody issues..., an extremely heavy heart, and feeling like the world was against me. With her combination of calming rationale, razor-sharp intellect and unsurpassed knowledge of the law and local legal system, Casey managed to sort through the mess of questions, paperwork, and emotional turmoil that I brought to her. She was organized and methodical during preparation, communicated effectively, and walked me through the entire process, from filing motions, to mediations, to hearings. She went into the courtroom and understood my case better than even I ever had. She litigated exceptionally, was precise, well-spoken, stern when necessary (I would NOT want to be the one going against her), was very effective in front of the judge and immediately got results! In a matter of days Casey was able to do what my previous attorney wasn’t able to do in years. It was astonishing! The overwhelming chaos that a bitter divorce with an uncooperative ex created was a constant source of anxiety. It seems contrary to reason that I would find a sense of peace, resolution, and security in an attorney's office, but that was indeed the case. For the first time in years my family was finally able to return to focusing on the important things in life because of the confidence Casey gave us. I cannot wrap my head around where we would be had we not found her. I am deeply indebted to this extraordinary professional and cannot recommend her highly enough. She absolutely changed our lives. If you are looking for the best attorney in Merced County (hands down), hire Casey Aitchison. It will be one of best decisions you will ever make for your family.

Casey Aitchison is AWESOME

Casey has been handling my fathers divorce for him and she has to be the most professional attorney around. She came to court very prepared, and when things got tough, she got tougher. I was very glad she was on my fathers side. My father has a lot of health issues and she made sure that he was alway...s comfortable. From the time we walked into her office and she made him feel safe, to the final court hearing when he got to keep his home, Casey was Awesome. We can't thank her enough.

Best Family Law Attorney in Merced County

I hired Casey Aitchison to help with an issue related to spousal support. I knew she was the right attorney for the job while speaking with her during my initial consultation. She was concise, tactful, thorough, and straight to the point. Her legal fees were also very reasonable. I provided all t...he information she requested and she took care of the rest. I was represented by Casey at several court appearances and each time she brought her A game. I could almost swear that she was using legal terms which even impressed the sitting judge. Casey was prepared with facts and documentation which got me the results I was looking for. I was shocked how those simple things, facts and documentation, were not given as much weight by the attorney representing the opposite party. I can't say it enough - I am so glad that I had Casey's representation. I would hate to be the other guy across the isle. Anyone seeking the professional services of the best family law attorney in Merced County - you need to have the Law Office of Casey Aitchison at the top of the list.

Can't Pay Someone To Care.

I was a client of hers and she did nothing to earn all of the money I paid. It was like I was there in the courtroom with no lawyer. Such a helpless feeling when you don't feel your lawyer has your child's best interest. She was rarely available or returned my calls unless it had to do with money. I... had to fire her and get a new lawyer.
