Services

All too often, the client has the attitude that a lawyer who is a "fighter" is a lawyer who refuses to cooperate with opposing counsel, makes demands and gets instant results, goes to court at the drop of a hat, and plays Perry Mason in court. This notion is sadly misguided. Cooperation and camaraderie among experienced family law attorneys are common.
It's been said many times that the ending of a marriage is the most stressful thing a person can endure next to the death of a loved one. It is sometimes an overwhelming process and can include anxiety, emotional and financial distress. The attorneys and professionally trained staff at GHMA | LAW understand these elements of your divorce.
One of the major undertakings you will deal with in the course of your divorce is dividing the assets and debts accumulated over the course of your marriage. This process is formally known as Equitable Distribution. It can be emotionally overwhelming to learn how intertwined your marital assets are with your spouse.

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness
I recently worked with Elise Putnam at GHMA and she was knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. GHMA treated me right and helped me through a very difficult time in my life.

This is the best law firm out there! During the time that I was a client, it was very evident that the the firm works together for the best of their clients. They consult each other to make sure the very best work is done. The paralegals are very responsive, knowledgeable, and hard working. Quite literally, the best, most professional firm.
