My lawyer did not respond to questions in a timely manner. He spoke with me about changing my name after divorce but never put it in the paperwork so now I have another battle. When I called back to find out what I needed to do, I was told it was my fault I did not let him know (though we talked ab...out it at mediation) and I should have made sure it was in myself. I thought that my lawyer was the one on my side to help me in a difficult situation. I never felt like I was anything more than a number on a folder. He was not outright rude but cold and I honestly wish I had hired someone else. I would never recommend him to anyone! Although his paralegal Gabriela (who I learned no longer works there) was amazing! She responded back to me within 24 hours about any question I emailed. She would even reply if she forwarded the information to Hammond and when she did. She was always polite and cheerful, and acted like she cared about my case and me. To her I was not just a number on a folder.

I was threatened by divorce from my husband. Having raised our 3 children and worked part time I didn’t have much to back me. My husband was a trust fund baby and told me I’d get nothing. I was scared. I’ve never been divorced. I called for “free counsel” I spoke with his partner who was very kind an...d helpful. The next week I called back because I thought I was being served and my husband was paying to lock down every lawyer in Augusta. I asked Mr Hammond how I could secure him? He said “ the person who pays me first gets me” don’t let the picture of him holding a child fool you. He is a beast.

The team at Shawn P. Hammond and Associates handled my divorce case in 2013, and I couldn't be more pleased with the disposition of my case! The team was attentive, diligent, action-oriented, and they worked hard to obtain the best possible outcome for my children and me. I was involved in my case ...and kept well-informed. I felt as if I had an entire legal team at my back, and I suppose I did! While Shawn's partner, Carl Schluter, actually was my attorney (and did a fantastic job!), I realized that Shawn was apprised and knowledgeable of my case as well. It truly felt like a team effort. I was well-represented when I chose to hire this firm, and the results we obtained speak for themselves. Since the divorce, I have hired this firm for additional legal services as well. Their costs are reasonable and provide an incredible "bang for your buck."

I came to this firm for a divorce. My husband is in the military and was telling me that if I left him I would not receive any support and would not get any of his benefits. At our first meeting, Mr. Hammond explained to me what he calls the typical divorce process and how I can get immediate suppo...rt. I received a check for support the next day from my husband. He also explained what I should receive from my divorce and it was a lot more that I was expecting. My divorce is finalized now and the Judge ordered exactly what Mr. Hammond said he would. I highly recommend this office for their excellent service.
