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!

About Mr. Seth

I chose my attorneys- Mr. Seth and Mrs. Chelsea on the website of Cardinal Immigration Group after looking for a lot of attorneys in West Virginia. I felt I completely trust them so much from the first appointment. They handled my application to remove my condition residence very professionally and ...quickly. Thank you Mr. Seth's cover letter that is a very sharp knife to help me get the result. I am so very lucky when I know them. I want to thank you, thank you for all their support. I never forget that. I will highly recommend them to others.

Great representation

Mr. Gaskins was professional, prompt, and very thorough. He exceeded my expectations. With his diligence he settled my contract dispute quickly. He was very accessible during the duration of the case. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Professional Contract and Work Agreements

Mr. Gaskins performed several contract reviews for Martin Consulting, LLC, as well as helping our company develop our internal work contract agreements for consulting services. His expert work caught a mistake on our end that would have cost several thousand dollars of loss. Seth was very quick to re...spond to our needs and handled everything making Martin Consulting a priority. We consider Mr. Gaskins an expert in contracts and work agreements and would recommend him to anyone. Seth is one of the most professional attorneys that we have worked with!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
