A creative, effective alternative to court.

After starting our divorce with a bitter court battle which resulted in both of us spending outrageous sums of money for our attorneys and only making both of us angrier at each other, we decided it was best to try something else. We fired our attorneys and hired Hammers & Baltazar to mediate our divorce and child custody issues. During the process, we were both able to speak our minds in a safe atmosphere and realized that, no matter what our differences were, the one thing we had in common was the unconditional love for our children.

Practical, cost-effective.

Going through a divorce was a scary thing. I didn’t know what to expect or how much it would cost. I wanted a solution that was practical and made financial sense. Hammers & Baltazar Family Law helped me reach my goal. They didn’t just tell me what the law was, they helped me see my choices. They identified my legal alternatives, but also made me aware of the financial and “human” costs of those alternatives. We discussed the pros and cons of litigation versus various settlement options. The entire time, I knew that they had my best interests and my goals in mind. Their solution-oriented approach ultimately helped me reach a settlement that was practical and cost-effective.

Confidence, intelligence & know-how.

I was at the end of my rope. I had interviewed five other law firms and didn’t find one that I could trust with the crisis of a very needed divorce that involved money and children. At my interview with Hammers & Baltazar, the attorney listened to me, looked me straight in the eye and said “I’ll take care of you.” Those are some pretty strong words. The firm’s lawyers pitched in and together we were able to stand in front of a judge and get him to see the truth. These attorneys know their stuff and when they need answers to important questions they know how to get them. They are not just out to make a buck, they care. The entire staff is kind and courteous. They are hard-working, intelligent, honest human beings. The atmosphere in the office is professional and healthy. They helped me beyond what words say and I feel very grateful to all of the staff for helping me get on with my life.
