Military Post Divorce Actions

I could not be more pleased with the outcome of a very complex, year long dispute, that Seth represented my husband in. If you need someone familiar with the ins and outs of Federal and State Law regarding divorce and military retirement, he’s your guy. He is the “Gold Standard” for divorce in West ...Virginia when it comes to military divorces. Mr. Gaskins took the time to listen to all of our concerns and gave us realistic expectations throughout the entire process. He’s not afraid to give it his all! I can not recommend him enough. Thank You!

My case

I specifically sought out a divorce lawyer and this law group is awesome! I had Chelsea first and then Seth. Both were spot on and guided me through what was expected of me during hearings and what to expect afterwards! I would recommend them to everyone that needs an attorney! Seth responds quickly ...and efficiently!

Your Search Stops Here

If you’re looking for an attorney, stop here, a Lawyer that looks out for you, that works with you as a team on your case, that treats you with respect. I have to say I don’t think any other Law Group could make you feel the way Seth Gaskins made me feel by treating me with respect and kindness. I ha...ve to be honest, he makes you feel important, like your case is first priority. Seth is always available and able to answer any questions, you’ll never feel ignored or pushed aside. I knew that he had by back and this allowed me to worry less! My one regret was that I didn't do this sooner. So don't continue to live a life that you know is not what you want or if you’re looking for the right Lawyer to represent you in court, stop wasting any more time. Get started on a new better way of living for yourself and your family!

Perfect attorney for me and my case

Seth did a fantastic job with my divorce case. I'm not much of a sit on the sidelines type person. I wanted to be active and involved with my case, without driving my attorney crazy. Seth allowed for this and always did a great job of talking through any of the concerns that I had. As with many males..., I was very concerned about being treated fairly when it came to the issue of custody. Seth put together a great game plan and executed it very well. In the end, I consider the findings of the judge to be fair and exactly what we were hoping to achieve. I am thankful that I had Seth their to guide me throughout this process. He answered all questions and made sure to give me insight that was not only in my best interest, but also forced me to think about all possibilities. I put all my trust in Seth and he delivered. If I had to go back 100 times over and make the same decision, I wouldn't think twice about it. Saying thank you doesn't do it justice for me.
