Divorce can be one of the biggest transitions in one's life, and one of the scariest, lowest periods we face. Helping people through this is the work I do best. I am accessible and responsive to my clients throughout the process. I myself have gone through a divorce when my children were young and now have two teenage children.
Marriage and relationships truly are a gift: they allow people to feel connected, supported and loved. When a marriage or relationship comes to an end, however, the good can quickly turn into grief or turmoil. Fortunately, life does keep going, and many people and families find great healing in moving on in a healthy, positive way.
Collaborative divorce is an alternative to litigation for divorcing couples. Although sometimes the best course of action, litigation can often be unpredictable, expensive, inconvenient and destructive to the personal relationships of those involved. A litigated divorce can pit good people against one another in the fight to win.

Cathy helped me through the most difficult time of my life. We had many issues to overcome, including a complex tax situation, a high conflict ex-spouse, court appearances both during the divorce and afterward when issues arose, and a modification to improve my custody schedule. Although nobody gets everything they want in a divorce, I don't think anyone could have done any better than she did. Her services more than paid for themselves.

I recommend this law firm unequivocally, without hesitation! More than competent , extremely personable and reasonable in price, everyone from Catherine to her office manager and paralegal were their for me. Catherine fought for my financial well-being and was incredibly supportive emotionally for me. I had no clue how to navigate a divorce and this firm was my port in the storm of divorce, guiding and helping me through every step and wave.

Catherine and her staff were very approachable and provided helpful counsel throughout the ordeal of divorce. They made sure everything was processed correctly while protecting my interests. They also deserve extra praise for arranging the paperwork to be safely notarized at private locations during the current pandemic.

Going through divorce is never a pleasant experience but I can say that the team at Benouis Law made the process far less upsetting than I envisioned. The professionalism and responsiveness of Ms. Benouis and her team was excellent. I was kept well informed throughout the process which was made both transparent and understandable at a time when the world otherwise seemed upside down.

I retained Catherine for a divorce and throughout the process, even more than her knowledge of Da Law, what made all the difference was her empathy. Her concern for my mental well being was so, so appreciated. She made an unbearable process somehow much more bearable. I don't recommend divorce, but if you have to go through it, I highly recommend Catherine Benouis Law!

I have known Catherine for over 15 years. She has handled not one, but two divorces for me. Both experiences, as you can imagine were difficult and uncomfortable at times. She handled each case with the utmost professionalism and discretion. She was incredibly easy to talk to and always made me feel secure. I appreciate all that she and her staff have done for me! Katy, Catherine’s paralegal always went above and beyond my expectations. I can actually say, I will miss working with them! They made a very painful event in my life, tolerable.
Thank you,

I highly recommend Benouis Law. Catherine is a skilled attorney who can keep a level head and operate with grace and intelligence even in the most challenging situations. She helped me navigate a protracted divorce with professionalism and compassion, and I am grateful. Her highly capable paralegal Janine is equally supportive and professional—they make a great team. Thank you, Catherine and Janine!

Cathy and her paralegal Janine helped me with my divorce. They were incredible professional, supportive, and sincere at every step of the way.
I received perhaps the best recommendation for a lawyer that one can receive. When I asked a friend about a lawyer, he said, "Don't use my lawyer, uses my ex-wife's lawyer, she was awesome in court!"
Cathy knows what she's doing, and her level of professionalism and advice was instrumental in preventing our divorce from proceeding to mediation. When we were gearing up for mediation, but Cathy helped me craft a fair settlement and

Cathy Benouis is not only extremely competent, she's a saint. She was so helpful and level headed that she seemed to easily handle my truly ugly divorce. My daughter's therapist spoke to Cathy for 30 minutes and immediately started recommending Cathy and Benouis Law to her clients. The paralegal staff is also impressive. Her paralegal took initiative on her own and helped solve a very complex problem. Cathy is so straight forward and experienced she can deal with, and defeat other attorneys in trial, no matter ugly they act. Her services receive my highest possible recommendation.

Catherine Benouis is solid. She was a lighthouse for me during an incredibly difficult time. She is intelligent, calm, kind, compassionate and infinitely patient. I can't imagine doing what she does day in and day out, but she does it with aplomb. I would highly recommend her as an attorney, especially if there is a possibility of negotiation/mediation. Cathy is awesome. Her heart and her head are in the right place. She is a good egg and a fine attorney. Two thumbs up.
