“Catherine McClaugherty restored my trust in divorce attorneys. She is transparent, communicative, empathic, and effective. In my case, she focused on strategy instead of attacking the other party. Catherine also valued my thoughts and input. I truly felt like we worked as a team. Catherine’s priority was my child’s safety and well being. The result was I was awarded full custody and got everything substantial I asked for from the Court. I recommend Catherine with no reservation.”

“I met Justin Oliver and Jenny almost a year ago for a difficult custody and divorce case. The time and effort they put into my case was amazing. At one point it was every day and they were always patient and supportive. I not only think of Justin as my lawyer but also a beacon of light during a very dark time. They both were so compationate and did everything possible to help me. I’m sad I no longer need their services. You definitely want them in your corner! Thank you so much! Your help was life changing and I appreciate you both!”

In the end, we got a great outcome and i couldn’t be more grateful for her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for representation.”

“It’s scary and stressful going through a divorce, but I had a great team on my side that supported me through the whole process and more than delivered. I have to give thanks to the whole team there but most of all to Catherine Mclaughtery, Jennifer Dean, Rachael Piazza and the rest of the team that helped me thru the process. If anyone definitely needs a string team on their side contact Divorce Matters.”

“Words cannot do justice for the experience I had with this firm, specifically LLP, Catherine McCLaugherty. I reached out with a rush motion response needed in my custody case which she worked tirelessly to accommodate in the short timeline. She was gentle in her approach, yet extremely direct, efficient, and thorough. She was highly responsive and answered every single question I had (there were a lot), taking the approach of empowering me instead of being condescending like I had experienced with lawyers in the past. I could not be more grateful for Catherine’s expertise, very patient “bed-side manner”, and encouragement through the process. I went from feeling fearful to feeling excited about my case which was a huge surprise!”

“I cannot recommend Justin Oliver and the team at Divorce Matters highly enough! From day one, Justin was not only professional and knowledgeable but also compassionate and understanding during one of the most challenging times of my life. He worked tirelessly on my case, always keeping me informed and prepared every step of the way. Thanks to Justin’s expertise and unwavering dedication, I was granted primary custody and sole decision-making authority for my son—a result that exceeded my expectations. He fought for what was in the best interest of my child and truly cared about the outcome of my case. If you’re looking for a divorce attorney who will go above and beyond to advocate for you and your family, Justin Oliver is your guy. I am forever grateful for his hard work and support, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a strong and compassionate attorney.”

“Catherine at Divorce Matters took such personal pride in my case and stopped the exorbitant demands that were being made by my former. I was so impressed with how Catherine fought for me in a fair and legal and just manner that I paid nothing more than what was my responsibility at a minimal price. This woman will do that for you and anyone who engages her in the legal system.”

“I want to express my sincere gratitude for this firm, particularly Catherine McClaugherty. Throughout this experience, she has consistently prioritized my daughter’s best interests, guiding me toward the most suitable resolutions. Catherine has provided invaluable perspective during my custody journey, and I cannot count the number of times I have found myself in tears. Yet, she has always offered reassurance and compassion, never giving me false hope but instead presenting realistic information grounded in facts. While I understand that cost can be a significant concern for many, including myself, this office is both affordable and accommodating, promptly addressing any billing inquiries. I wholeheartedly recommend their services.”

“Justin Oliver provided me with sound service. His advice was reasonable and helpful when I was going through an emotional process. He promptly prepared my documents and was there, through phone, for every court experience. He did not encourage extra unnuecessary steps that would have required additional service hours, which would have accrued a higher bill. I recommend Justin as he us highly intelligent, experienced, and professional.”
