It pushes all boundaries physically, emotionally, and financially. You are walking into the unknown. The process requires you to take a leap of faith that the law will protect you and above all be fair. As adults we know fair is not always possible. Finding the right person to stand beside you and guide you thru a life-altering event was critical.
“Louis’s background and experience gave me peace of mind. His professionalism enabled my confidence and his caring demeanor calmed my fears. Having survived the process I would recommend Louis without hesitation. ”

“I am Chairman and CEO of Alexander Industries LLC and when I came to Louis Waterman from another attorney I was behind the literal 8 ball. I was in jeopardy of losing my home, half of my business and cars and a substantial amount of money. With the help and guidance of Louis Waterman I kept all of my business, my home and cars and a large portion of my net worth as well as received sole custody of my son! I wouldn't refer my friends and colleagues to anyone else! Louis Waterman fights for his clients and I'm glad he fought for me! Thanks, Louis!! ”

“The attorney you ask to represent you in a divorce will serve at one time or another as your teacher, your combatant in arms, your coach, your friend, your representative, your provider of hope, your therapist and someone who maintains a clear perspective on important issues when you can’t. Don't ever settle for less. Louis Waterman was all of those things to me and I am thankful for it. ”

“I retained Louis to represent me upon the recommendation of my business attorney. Excellent choice, as my divorce proceedings became much more complex than I had ever imagined.
“Opposing counsel used every tactic in their arsenal, the types of behavior about which you read and hear horror stories. Louis always advised me to be above-board in all proceedings during the three years that it took to finally reach a settlement. Make no mistake, Louis is certainly capable and knowledgeable in "tactics." But his approach is to present you, the client, with your options and let you decide which approach you are comfortable with. He had me well-prepared to go to trial, as we were convinced that a trial was inevitable. As is often the case, however, a last-minute settlement was reached.
“The attention to detail which Louis applies to his cases is what I feel sets him apart from other attorneys. He also taught me the importance of retaining your dignity during a difficult period. His connections in the legal community are a strong asset as well; if your case requires expert witnesses, he will retain the top experts in the area (before the opposing lawyer does!).
“If you are in need of a brilliant divorce attorney who will help you not only reach an equitable outcome but also maintain civility to the degree possible in these types of extremely personal proceedings, then you can do no better than Louis Waterman. ”

I highly recommend Louis. He came recommended to me from several friends who are also attorneys. As a son of a District Attorney, I can tell you having the right lawyer makes a big difference in outcome. As a former judge, Louis has experience on both sides of the bench . . . an asset I thought was very valuable and helpful to my case. Louis was always available and handled all “emergencies” that arose expediently. I was very impressed by Louis’s skills in court on the one occasion my presence was required. I trusted Louis without reservation to represent me, thus relieving me of most court appearances. This allowed me to continue my normal life and business unencumbered. Louis is very good at what he does. He takes the stress of the legal process off your shoulders and assures an equitable outcome.

Louis is an excellent and very thorough attorney who looks at every possible angle. I found his knowledge of the law and his courtroom capabilities to be outstanding. It is very comforting to have an attorney whom you can trust during difficult personal issues. He always tried to keep costs contained as best he could as well offering a relaxed environment to discuss topics. His preparation is superb. He was recommended by a friend to me, and, rest assured, if someone I know needs a competent professional divorce attorney I will send them to Louis.
