“I was referred to Hammers & Baltazar Family Law when my highly conflicted and costly divorce escalated and seemed out-of-control. The team of attorneys at Hammers & Baltazar quickly and thoroughly assimilated 4 years and 2 boxes of legal documents, researched and documented the contentious areas of appellate law that were at the heart of the conflict, and ultimately secured a reasonable ruling. Hammers & Baltazar’s responsiveness, reasonableness and the clarity and the depth of their written and oral arguments were thankfully on my side.”

"I had the pleasure of working with Hammers & Baltazar Family Law for approximately one year as they represented me during my divorce. When I first met with the attorneys I felt an immediate connection. I resonated with their personal approach and serious professionalism. I had the utmost confidence in their abilities as they guided me through unfamiliar legal territory. I always felt that they had a deep care and understanding of my situation and a genuine concern for my financial and personal well being. Their advice was always solid. I felt that I was in extremely capable hands while they worked towards the best possible resolution for me. Simply put, I had faith in them as they had faith in me. They kept me centered even during the most challenging times."

“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.

The attorney we worked with helped us come to an agreement by suggesting solutions we would have never thought of on our own. We had our entire case settled in a short period of time and had a child custody arrangement that worked for both of us and our kids.

Over the years, as issues have come up regarding our children, we have gone back to Hammers & Baltazar on several occasions to work things out. We have always come away with an acceptable agreement. With the help of the knowledgeable family law attorneys we have dealt with, we have actually seen our relationship improve as we have worked together to co-parent our kids. We also saved all of the money we would have spent fighting in court, and achieved a better result. Thank you Hammers & Baltazar Family Law.”

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.

"Gave me results where others failed with hard work and a remarkable knowledge of family law.

I hired Barbara Hammers after wasting months of time and money with a senior attorney of a large law firm. She was referred to me by a good friend who had Barbara as a family lawyer the year before. I met and interviewed her and learned that she is a State Certified Family Law Specialist. I researched and found that less than 20% of family law attorneys are certified. That’s because it’s hard to qualify, only the best of the best are certified.

After a good interview I put Barbara in charge of my divorce. Two days later we met and she explained my situation in detail with several clear options. With her guidance I decided what I what I wanted to do. Within two weeks Barbara and her staff had accomplished more than my previous “high profile” lawyer had in four months. I was an important client to Hammers Baltazar and they let me know it by communicating, performing and getting results.

... A month after hiring her I saw the difference hard work from a determined, committed professional can make. Phone calls always returned, email promptly replied to. My questions anticipated.

A wonderful communicator Barbara spoke clearly and concisely, skipped the legal jargon and made sure I was well informed. She knows how to deal with difficult people and with a warm smile can make her point in very few words. I had a challenging high net worth divorce with very complicated property and custody issues. Barbara and her staff organized box after box of data, sorted it, indexed it and made perfect sense of it all. Her ability to recall facts, figures and points of law is just remarkable.

...

I will be forever grateful I found this wonderful, incredibly competent woman and her staff to represent my children and me during the most challenging and emotional event of our lives. I wholeheartedly recommend Barbara Hammers and her firm Hammers Baltazar for any family law matter."
