Complex Divorce

Gemma takes a different approach to the divorce process. Which is what got me to hire her in the first place, it seems most of the lawyers in Tucson just want to perpetuate the adversarial nature of a divorce which in turn lines their pockets deeper. That being said, she knows when to fight for you a...nd when a softer approach is warranted with the opposing counsel. It was refreshing to have someone actually care about your well being throughout the process as well as your families. At no point did I feel like just a client to her or a form of income. She is a straight shooter and won’t fill your head with lofty potential outcomes. She will give you her honest opinion even when it’s contrary to what you may want to hear. Personally, I appreciated her honesty and was never shocked by anything that transpired. She will work hard for you and her fees are more then fair and transparent, once again I appreciated the lack of surprises on the financial front as well! Hopefully I don’t need to utilize her services in the future, but would if I found myself in the same situation again!

Outstanding Professional

Gemma Fenimore fought hard for me in a spousal maintenance case. She cuts through nonsense and emotion with ease, her fact finding ability is phenomenal. I was comforted by her take -control ability and the outcome was more than I expected. I highly recommend Fenimore Law Firm.

Expectations Fully Exceeded!

Gemma represented me in a divorce case and exceeded so many of my expectations. From the beginning, her willingness to answer any question I had regarding the law and processes helped me stay sane and grounded through stressful times. The other party in the case threw curveballs our way multipl...e times and Gemma handled them with confidence and professionalism, (even while the opposing party stoopped to making baseless accusations and empty threats). Gemma was responsive to emails and it was easy to schedule times with her to discuss the case over the phone, which again, helped keep my stress level down through an impossibly stressful situation. Gemma facilitated a settlement that I believe was the best outcome possible. It’s evident that she takes pride in her work. I am glad I hired her and can’t recommend her enough.

Recommended: Fenimore Law Firm

Gemma was able to finalize my custody and divorce case that had dragged on for years. She was forthcoming about her fees, her strengths, and her legal ties. It was important for me to hire someone who was neither intimidated by nor trying to impress the opposing counsel. Gemma stood firm in what she ...was hired to do: counseling me and advocating for my family. She is a motivated person who uses her sharp discernment for the benefit of her clients, rather than for advancing her own professional interests.
