Caitlin Dennis

As a young divorcee with minimal assets to split, I was not sure I needed to hire a lawyer for my divorce. I changed my mind once I was consulted by Caitlin. She did not flat out convince me that I needed a lawyer, but she gave me great advice, and kindly answered any of my questions. Things began to... feel out of control, and I knew I needed to hire Caitlin. She is assertive, prompt, and experienced. Divorce is hard, and you need an advocate who can read through the lines when you're feeling vulnerable and emotional. Because of her family law experience, Caitlin understood exactly the tactics that were used against me and was always one step ahead for me. She knows the playbook before it happens. The precautions she put into place with the court, protected me and put me in control. Having Caitlin through this gave me confidence I needed, and more importantly, safety from further being taken advantage of. I came out of my divorce fairly, which is everything I could have asked for. I couldn’t have done it with out her!

After 27 years of marriage, I was wondering what next? In a free consult she helped explain my rights, and a good direction to go to make our seperation and eventual divorce as smooth of a transition as possible. Ever constant and level headed she never pushed, but kept me on task and helped find alt...ernative avenues to finish a very long process with a partner not willing to work together. She never wasted time, was more than fair on billing, was conservative in her approach and stayed calm & supportive during highly emotional times for me. I feel that she truly cared about me and what my outcome would be, treating me like friend, not just another client. She also has an amazing staffer (Aleyna) that helped in expediting documents and information, and always greeted me with great respect and professionalism. I can never thank them enough. I will be recommending Caitlin Dennis whenever a friend needs the same. and will continue to use the Lori Ferguson Law firm for other Legal Matters.

I was scared. After nearly twenty years of marriage, I needed representation. My husband wanted a divorce and I lived 3000 miles away from my parents and family, having moved across the country for my husband's career advancement. I met Caitlin as my world was crumbling around me. I knew from the b...eginning that it was going to be a battle. My ex hired one of the top billing lawyers in town and he had lawyer friends and family to guide him. I found Caitlin and from the first meeting knew that I wanted her to represent me. She calmly reviewed my case and gave me advice on how to begin to process the chaos. I did not know how to get divorced--they don't teach that in life skills class. I relied on her to be my "backbone". I was a homemaker and part-time employee who raised my children and supported my ex's career through the years. My earnings were minimal compared to my ex's and had I not received representation, I would have made many errors on the path to finalizing the divorce. Caitlin was available to counsel me via email, text or phone calls as I needed her. When I was ready to crumble and give in to ridiculous demands, Caitlin stepped in. The final divorce decree took 9 months, temporary orders, separation conference and, finally, an arbitrating mediation to settle all of our issues. I highly recommend Caitlin Dennis to anyone getting a divorce in Vancouver, WA. I hope to never have to go through such an awful ordeal again, but I would put my trust in Caitlin all over again.
