Great legal service
Owen White Catlin, and in particular, James, gave me very clear advice and assistance from the outset in my divorce case. Due to lack of cooperation from the other party, this was a protracted business lasting approximately seven years.
Despite the stop/start nature that we experienced, James was able to proceed to a successful conclusion, giving excellent and clear advice all the way; helping me with aspects of the process that I had to deal with myself.
Our conversations were friendly and his explanation of the legal process was clear and concise. His work with the court was timely and the follow up excellent.
I will continue to use OWC for my legal needs.
