Port Gardner Law Group

Positive: ProfessionalismI can’t recommend Darren highly enough. Darren was my divorce lawyer for a high conflict divorce that lasted for 18 months. Without a good lawyer on my side the outcome would have been very different. Darren did an amazing job of keeping the situation under control and worked very hard to help us reach a fair settlement. We even managed to resolve the divorce through mediation without going to court. But most important is Darren’s ability to inject a sense of humanity into the proceedings. I see many reviews for Darren use the word compassionate to describe him. I feel this is very accurate and so important. Darren’s compassion and humane treatment of the process helped me so much during this difficult time. I am very grateful to have had Darren as my lawyer and recommend him to anyone needing a divorce lawyer.I am rereading this review after two years and I still agree with every word.I can’t recommend Darren highly enough.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueDarren represented me for more then 3 years in my case. It started off with a no contact restraining order and a very steep uphill climb for us. Darren was very strategic in our approach and step by step we went through and built a very good case. The No contact order and restraining order were dropped with open investigations still ongoing, we ended up settling in mediation after a Guardian Ad Litem investigation and I was able to get weekends. About a year later I called Darren again to inform him of my kids poor performance in school and grades and asked if we could do another Parenting Plan modification and he said we need a lot so a judge would grant us with another Guardian Ad Litem investigation. I gathered what I thought would be enough and Darren put it together and we submitted it to the courts. The judge found cause for further investigation. After the second GAL investigation and report, I went from one weekend a month to full Custody and all decision making. I was able to relocate out of state with my kids. There would of been no way I could of accomplished this without Darren’s guidance and knowledge throughout the entire process. The entire staff at Port Gardner was always very friendly when I called and had answers for my questions. Darren went above and beyond for me and my family and I can’t thank Darren enough for the hours and hours of work that he put in on my case. I highly recommend Darren if you are looking for a family law attorney to represent you in you case.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueWe started working with Julie Caputo in 2017.Our journey has been a long one with a lot of really tricky and different/difficult circumstances. Julie was able to finesse these changes easily and in a manner that made us feel confident. She referred us to people when needed that were efficient at their jobs and also was completely diligent in completing the tasks we needed and wanted.Without her help during our custody battle and then again during our adoption we would have not only not succeeded but our son would have been left to a life that is less than desirable.Julie always had a way of making my rough terminology look very smooth and appropriate and guided us with her knowledge of the adoption and custody process. When needed she helped us with mediation and was always respectful of both parties.As far as cost goes, I believe all was fair. Our son is safe and there is no price you can attach to that.We started working with Julie Caputo in 2017.Our journey has been a long one with a lot of really tricky and different/difficult circumstances.
