I am a mother who works somewhere in between part time and full time.  I hired Attorney Dennis Germain for my divorce case in Macomb County.  I am completely satisfied with his family law services.   My ex-husband also hired an attorney.  Mr. Germain did a very great job of being cooperative yet aggressive at the same time.  Mr. Germain was very clever in his approach which allowed me to get what I wanted out of the divorce without making it ugly or completely alienating my ex-husband and his attorney.  I was awarded primary custody rights, a more than fair property and debt award, payment of most of my bills for a set period of time, spousal support, and child support.  These extra awards are helping me to get better integrated in the work force and making the transition to my post-divorce life much more manageable.  Plus I still have a decent relationship with my ex-husband, which is, of course best for the children.  Due to our arrangements and separation goals, my ex-husband and I had some very unique requests in terms of custody, cohabitation, payment of bills, and support.  This was no problem for Mr. Germain who offered creative drafting solutions to our unique needs.  My husband was the one who hired an attorney and filed the case as the Plaintiff.  But when I hired Mr. Germain, he jumped right in and took the case over.   He was in full control of how it was all going to go down.  I am very happy I hired Dennis Germain as my lawyer.  He is a great family law and divorce attorney.

April 2015 Words cannot convey my gratitude and appreciation for Attorney Dennis Germain. Unfortunately, to fully understand the magnitude of the service he provides his clients, I must share some of my story. After many years of marriage, I was blind-sided to learn of my ex-husband’s infidelity and illegal activities. I spent a great amount of time in denial; hoping to correct the problem within my marriage; but he wanted a divorce to pursue his new interest. I was emotionally drained, and close to a break down. My ex was in an prominent position and could afford to hire a top attorney, while I am disabled with a limited income. Not knowing where to turn, I went on referral and chose another top attorney. The process turned into a nightmare, with his high-powered attorney dominating the divorce proceedings, and me just being another of my attorney’s many cases. Months went by with my ex emptying bank accounts and leaving myself and my children without adequate funds. Motions to rectify the situation were adjourned countless times, until I just gave up. My attorney on record advised me to just let it go. A year after my divorce was finalized, I was still waiting for the terms of judgement to be met. I went to many other attorneys who confirmed the wrong doing, but would not take my case due to the complexity and prominence of opposing counsel. I was at my wits end, when I was referred to Dennis Germain from a representative from the Friend of the Court. Upon meeting with Dennis, he discussed the difficulty with my case, and outlined for me the correct procedures and actions necessary to achieve a favorable outcome. He admitted my case was a nightmare, and at first declined to take the case. It bothered Dennis the neglect for the law, so he contacted me and did take my case. Dennis is tenacious, with a thorough knowledge of family law. Where other attorneys acquiesced and backed down to opposing counsel; Dennis stood firm and welcomed the challenge. Threats, games and manipulations did not deter Dennis; in fact, they only increased his desire to obtain justice for me and my daughter. My ex and his attorney attempted every trick possible; even threatening to have me prosecuted and jailed for stalking, if I continued with my motion; as I had hired a private investigator to confirm and document my ex’s wrong doings. Dennis would not be intimidated, and assured me it was only a ploy. Dennis researches each aspect of your case, and has a great understanding of the law. He cannot be bullied, or threatened; and despite the age, prominence, or nature of opposing counsel, knows what is right and stands up for his clients. With Dennis as my attorney, I was no longer badgered or manipulated. Dennis is a force to be reckoned with in court, and thoroughly prepares for each encounter. He is highly detailed and has the facts and case law to support his claims. Dennis takes his time for his clients. You are not pushed aside, or become one of his “many” cases, he makes you feel as if you are his most important client. He treats you with respect, is extremely professional, and his attention to detail impeccable. Dennis is a gem, and without his assistance, I would still be waiting for relief from the court and fearful of the “next” ploy my ex would use to dominate and manipulate me. Needless to say, with Dennis Germain as my counsel, I am no longer harassed and I am finally living a happier life. Dennis won my case through his dedication and tenacious spirit. There is no price for a piece of mind, but Attorney Dennis Germaine is definitely worth his weight in gold. SL
