I hired Barbara Hammers after wasting months of time and money with a senior attorney of a large law firm. She was referred to me by a good friend who had Barbara as a family lawyer the year before. I met and interviewed her and learned that she is a State Certified Family Law Specialist. I researched and found that less than 20% of family law attorneys are certified. That's because it's very hard to qualify, only the best of the best are certified. After a good interview I put Barbara in charge of my divorce. Two days later we met and she explained my situation in detail with several clear options. With her guidance I decided what I what I wanted to do. Within two weeks Barbara and her staff had accomplished more than my previous "high profile" lawyer had in four months. I was an important client to Hammers Baltazar and they let me know it by communicating, performing and getting results. The previous attorney regarded me as an inconvenience, he was also vague about the overall cost. Barbara was upfront about the probability of accomplishing what I wanted to do, how long it would take and about how much it would cost. A month after hiring her I saw the difference hard work from a determined, committed professional can make. Phone calls always returned, email promptly replied to. My questions anticipated. A wonderful communicator Barbara spoke clearly and concisely, skipped the legal jargon and made sure I was well informed. She knows how to deal with difficult people and with a warm smile can make her point in very few words. I had a challenging high net worth divorce with very complicated property and custody issues. Barbara and her staff organized box after box of data, sorted it, indexed it and made perfect sense of it all. Her ability to recall facts, figures and points of law is just remarkable. As our trial date approached Barbara, Armine and their staff prepared intensively, day and night for several days, to master every element of our case. Their level of commitment and hard work allowed me to be relaxed and confident when the trial began. All that work paid off with a flawless presentation in court. That's not to say there weren't a few surprises, but when they came she was ready. The trial took almost two weeks and after a few days it became obvious our opposing counsel was unprepared and frustrated. Outclassed they reverted to unprofessional and deceptive legal maneuvers that Barbara wouldn't tolerate. She put them in their place and then argued for, and received, substantial financial sanctions against them from the court. I knew then that underneath her well prepared, professional velvet glove presentation she has an iron fist available for use when it was necessary. Barbara explained to me early on that in family law actions there are no "winners". I understand now what she meant, it's is a very stressful life changing experience. My children and I couldn't be happier with the outcome of the trial. We are now safe and secure and have adjusted well to our "new normal" life. I have resumed my professional career and have a fresh perspective on my future. I will be forever grateful I found this wonderful, incredibly competent woman and her staff to represent my children and me during the most challenging and emotional event of our lives. I wholeheartedly recommend Barbara Hammers and her firm Hammers Baltazar for any family law matter.
Unfortunately, I've had the need for legal council while going through a divorce. I found Barbara to be honest, incredibly hard working and dedicated not only to look out for my own personal best interests, but the best interest of my family too. My divorce was emotionally challenging from both sides. Barbara worked with us to carefully create a solution that all parties agreed to. Looking back, is certainly wasn't easy. It takes a special person to wade such waters, and Barbara did it well. Barbara gives attorney's a good name.
I had fears that my divorce would not go smoothly. Barbara ensured that the each step of the process was executed with precision and professionalism. Her office continued to thrive during the Covid pandemic. She is worth every penny! She listened to all of my questions (especially the silly ones from me!) I ended up with a very amicable, fair, and reassuring divorce. I attribute this to Barbara's excellent counsel.
After wasting time and money with others I was referred to Barbara for help. She took over and got great results much sooner than I expected. Barbara and her partner Armine both have many years of experience and really know family law well. She communicates very clearly and really knows how to get others to be reasonable and settle their differences without going to trial. She saved me a truckload of money.
I have hired Barber hammers for two different divorces over he 16 year. And I have found it she is very knowledgeable in the law and is also very understanding and listens to the client. Both times I don't want to use the word Victorious but I came out on top of both of my divorces and got what I was looking for in custody of children and in financial parts . Her fees are quite reasonable and she is there the whole time for you. She doesn't put you off on a another lawyer or take too many clients that she doesn't have time for you.
Barbara has represented me for many years and has handled all of my actions with professionism, care and accuracy. Most importantly she has successfully argued and won all of my actions. Barbara has successfully represented me in multiple child support actions. She also has helped me to obtain both temporary and permanent restraining orders (the latter of which was argued brilliantly in trial). Finally, she helped me to obtain full legal and physical custody of my daughter a year earlier than expected. Barbara's partner Armine is also wonderful to work with and an excellent attorney in her own right. They are supported by Rhonda who is kind and responsive during critical times which is exactly what you need as a client. I can't recommend Hammers and Baltazar more. Do yourself a favor, stop your search and hire them!
I first began working with Barbara Hammers in 2006 in regards to a very volatile custody situation. Barbara guided me through some very tough and emotional situations including numerous false allegations from my child's mother. Barbara handled each situation with complete professionalism and a high level of ethics which resulted in me being awarded joint legal and physical custody of my daughter. My family cannot thank Barbara and her entire firm enough for the effort and ethics they have shown through some of the roughest times in our lives. I would highly recommend Barbara Hammers to anyone going through a custody dispute as she is extremely knowledgeable and dependable.
Barbara has done a great job for me at a very reasonable price. She is very experienced, reliable and available. Barbara provides solid advice and support that you can count on. I always thought her bills were reasonable and I have looked at a lot of attorney bills in my business. She is efficient and focuses on what is most important. I did not see any unnecessary work or excessive time on her bills. Most important of all Barbara made me feel confident in a very difficult situation. You can't pay enough for that feeling.
I enthusiastically recommend Ms Hammers, as she cooperated with me and assisted her client and me in getting our matter settled amicably. She was well informed as to the legal and process issues, and, just as importantly, she was kind and considerate during a difficult time.
I thought Barbara did a very professional job of advising my ex wife thoughout the divorce process.

Barbara's partner Armine is also wonderful to work with and an excellent attorney in her own right. They are supported by Rhonda who is kind and responsive during critical times which is exactly what you need as a client. I can't recommend Hammers and Baltazar more. Do yourself a favor, stop your search and hire them!
I first began working with Barbara Hammers in 2006 in regards to a very volatile custody situation. Barbara guided me through some very tough and emotional situations including numerous false allegations from my child's mother. Barbara handled each situation with complete professionalism and a high level of ethics which resulted in me being awarded joint legal and physical custody of my daughter. My family cannot thank Barbara and her entire firm enough for the effort and ethics they have shown through some of the roughest times in our lives. I would highly recommend Barbara Hammers to anyone going through a custody dispute as she is extremely knowledgeable and dependable.
Barbara has done a great job for me at a very reasonable price. She is very experienced, reliable and available. Barbara provides solid advice and support that you can count on. I always thought her bills were reasonable and I have looked at a lot of attorney bills in my business. She is efficient and focuses on what is most important. I did not see any unnecessary work or excessive time on her bills. Most important of all Barbara made me feel confident in a very difficult situation. You can't pay enough for that feeling.
I enthusiastically recommend Ms Hammers, as she cooperated with me and assisted her client and me in getting our matter settled amicably. She was well informed as to the legal and process issues, and, just as importantly, she was kind and considerate during a difficult time.
I thought Barbara did a very professional job of advising my ex wife thoughout the divorce process.
I hired Barbara Hammers after wasting months of time and money with a senior attorney of a large law firm. She was referred to me by a good friend who had Barbara as a family lawyer the year before. I met and interviewed her and learned that she is a State Certified Family Law Specialist. I researched and found that less than 20% of family law attorneys are certified. That's because it's very hard to qualify, only the best of the best are certified. After a good interview I put Barbara in charge of my divorce. Two days later we met and she explained my situation in detail with several clear options. With her guidance I decided what I what I wanted to do. Within two weeks Barbara and her staff had accomplished more than my previous "high profile" lawyer had in four months. I was an important client to Hammers Baltazar and they let me know it by communicating, performing and getting results. The previous attorney regarded me as an inconvenience, he was also vague about the overall cost. Barbara was upfront about the probability of accomplishing what I wanted to do, how long it would take and about how much it would cost. A month after hiring her I saw the difference hard work from a determined, committed professional can make. Phone calls always returned, email promptly replied to. My questions anticipated. A wonderful communicator Barbara spoke clearly and concisely, skipped the legal jargon and made sure I was well informed. She knows how to deal with difficult people and with a warm smile can make her point in very few words. I had a challenging high net worth divorce with very complicated property and custody issues. Barbara and her staff organized box after box of data, sorted it, indexed it and made perfect sense of it all. Her ability to recall facts, figures and points of law is just remarkable. As our trial date approached Barbara, Armine and their staff prepared intensively, day and night for several days, to master every element of our case. Their level of commitment and hard work allowed me to be relaxed and confident when the trial began. All that work paid off with a flawless presentation in court. That's not to say there weren't a few surprises, but when they came she was ready. The trial took almost two weeks and after a few days it became obvious our opposing counsel was unprepared and frustrated. Outclassed they reverted to unprofessional and deceptive legal maneuvers that Barbara wouldn't tolerate. She put them in their place and then argued for, and received, substantial financial sanctions against them from the court. I knew then that underneath her well prepared, professional velvet glove presentation she has an iron fist available for use when it was necessary. Barbara explained to me early on that in family law actions there are no "winners". I understand now what she meant, it's is a very stressful life changing experience. My children and I couldn't be happier with the outcome of the trial. We are now safe and secure and have adjusted well to our "new normal" life. I have resumed my professional career and have a fresh perspective on my future. I will be forever grateful I found this wonderful, incredibly competent woman and her staff to represent my children and me during the most challenging and emotional event of our lives. I wholeheartedly recommend Barbara Hammers and her firm Hammers Baltazar for any family law matter.
Unfortunately, I've had the need for legal council while going through a divorce. I found Barbara to be honest, incredibly hard working and dedicated not only to look out for my own personal best interests, but the best interest of my family too. My divorce was emotionally challenging from both sides. Barbara worked with us to carefully create a solution that all parties agreed to. Looking back, is certainly wasn't easy. It takes a special person to wade such waters, and Barbara did it well. Barbara gives attorney's a good name.
I had fears that my divorce would not go smoothly. Barbara ensured that the each step of the process was executed with precision and professionalism. Her office continued to thrive during the Covid pandemic. She is worth every penny! She listened to all of my questions (especially the silly ones from me!) I ended up with a very amicable, fair, and reassuring divorce. I attribute this to Barbara's excellent counsel.
After wasting time and money with others I was referred to Barbara for help. She took over and got great results much sooner than I expected. Barbara and her partner Armine both have many years of experience and really know family law well. She communicates very clearly and really knows how to get others to be reasonable and settle their differences without going to trial. She saved me a truckload of money.
I have hired Barber hammers for two different divorces over he 16 year. And I have found it she is very knowledgeable in the law and is also very understanding and listens to the client. Both times I don't want to use the word Victorious but I came out on top of both of my divorces and got what I was looking for in custody of children and in financial parts . Her fees are quite reasonable and she is there the whole time for you. She doesn't put you off on a another lawyer or take too many clients that she doesn't have time for you.
Barbara has represented me for many years and has handled all of my actions with professionism, care and accuracy. Most importantly she has successfully argued and won all of my actions. Barbara has successfully represented me in multiple child support actions. She also has helped me to obtain both temporary and permanent restraining orders (the latter of which was argued brilliantly in trial). Finally, she helped me to obtain full legal and physical custody of my daughter a year earlier than expected. Barbara's partner Armine is also wonderful to work with and an excellent attorney in her own right.

Finally, she helped me to obtain full legal and physical custody of my daughter a year earlier than expected. Barbara's partner Armine is also wonderful to work with and an excellent attorney in her own right. They are supported by Rhonda who is kind and responsive during critical times which is exactly what you need as a client. I can't recommend Hammers and Baltazar more. Do yourself a favor, stop your search and hire them!
I first began working with Barbara Hammers in 2006 in regards to a very volatile custody situation. Barbara guided me through some very tough and emotional situations including numerous false allegations from my child's mother. Barbara handled each situation with complete professionalism and a high level of ethics which resulted in me being awarded joint legal and physical custody of my daughter. My family cannot thank Barbara and her entire firm enough for the effort and ethics they have shown through some of the roughest times in our lives. I would highly recommend Barbara Hammers to anyone going through a custody dispute as she is extremely knowledgeable and dependable.
Barbara has done a great job for me at a very reasonable price. She is very experienced, reliable and available. Barbara provides solid advice and support that you can count on. I always thought her bills were reasonable and I have looked at a lot of attorney bills in my business. She is efficient and focuses on what is most important. I did not see any unnecessary work or excessive time on her bills. Most important of all Barbara made me feel confident in a very difficult situation. You can't pay enough for that feeling.
I enthusiastically recommend Ms Hammers, as she cooperated with me and assisted her client and me in getting our matter settled amicably. She was well informed as to the legal and process issues, and, just as importantly, she was kind and considerate during a difficult time.
I thought Barbara did a very professional job of advising my ex wife thoughout the divorce process.
I hired Barbara Hammers after wasting months of time and money with a senior attorney of a large law firm. She was referred to me by a good friend who had Barbara as a family lawyer the year before. I met and interviewed her and learned that she is a State Certified Family Law Specialist. I researched and found that less than 20% of family law attorneys are certified. That's because it's very hard to qualify, only the best of the best are certified. After a good interview I put Barbara in charge of my divorce. Two days later we met and she explained my situation in detail with several clear options. With her guidance I decided what I what I wanted to do. Within two weeks Barbara and her staff had accomplished more than my previous "high profile" lawyer had in four months. I was an important client to Hammers Baltazar and they let me know it by communicating, performing and getting results. The previous attorney regarded me as an inconvenience, he was also vague about the overall cost. Barbara was upfront about the probability of accomplishing what I wanted to do, how long it would take and about how much it would cost. A month after hiring her I saw the difference hard work from a determined, committed professional can make. Phone calls always returned, email promptly replied to. My questions anticipated. A wonderful communicator Barbara spoke clearly and concisely, skipped the legal jargon and made sure I was well informed. She knows how to deal with difficult people and with a warm smile can make her point in very few words. I had a challenging high net worth divorce with very complicated property and custody issues. Barbara and her staff organized box after box of data, sorted it, indexed it and made perfect sense of it all. Her ability to recall facts, figures and points of law is just remarkable. As our trial date approached Barbara, Armine and their staff prepared intensively, day and night for several days, to master every element of our case. Their level of commitment and hard work allowed me to be relaxed and confident when the trial began. All that work paid off with a flawless presentation in court. That's not to say there weren't a few surprises, but when they came she was ready. The trial took almost two weeks and after a few days it became obvious our opposing counsel was unprepared and frustrated. Outclassed they reverted to unprofessional and deceptive legal maneuvers that Barbara wouldn't tolerate. She put them in their place and then argued for, and received, substantial financial sanctions against them from the court. I knew then that underneath her well prepared, professional velvet glove presentation she has an iron fist available for use when it was necessary. Barbara explained to me early on that in family law actions there are no "winners". I understand now what she meant, it's is a very stressful life changing experience. My children and I couldn't be happier with the outcome of the trial. We are now safe and secure and have adjusted well to our "new normal" life. I have resumed my professional career and have a fresh perspective on my future. I will be forever grateful I found this wonderful, incredibly competent woman and her staff to represent my children and me during the most challenging and emotional event of our lives. I wholeheartedly recommend Barbara Hammers and her firm Hammers Baltazar for any family law matter.
Unfortunately, I've had the need for legal council while going through a divorce. I found Barbara to be honest, incredibly hard working and dedicated not only to look out for my own personal best interests, but the best interest of my family too. My divorce was emotionally challenging from both sides. Barbara worked with us to carefully create a solution that all parties agreed to. Looking back, is certainly wasn't easy. It takes a special person to wade such waters, and Barbara did it well. Barbara gives attorney's a good name.
I had fears that my divorce would not go smoothly. Barbara ensured that the each step of the process was executed with precision and professionalism. Her office continued to thrive during the Covid pandemic. She is worth every penny! She listened to all of my questions (especially the silly ones from me!) I ended up with a very amicable, fair, and reassuring divorce. I attribute this to Barbara's excellent counsel.
After wasting time and money with others I was referred to Barbara for help. She took over and got great results much sooner than I expected. Barbara and her partner Armine both have many years of experience and really know family law well. She communicates very clearly and really knows how to get others to be reasonable and settle their differences without going to trial. She saved me a truckload of money.
I have hired Barber hammers for two different divorces over he 16 year. And I have found it she is very knowledgeable in the law and is also very understanding and listens to the client. Both times I don't want to use the word Victorious but I came out on top of both of my divorces and got what I was looking for in custody of children and in financial parts . Her fees are quite reasonable and she is there the whole time for you. She doesn't put you off on a another lawyer or take too many clients that she doesn't have time for you.
Barbara has represented me for many years and has handled all of my actions with professionism, care and accuracy. Most importantly she has successfully argued and won all of my actions.

Finally, she helped me to obtain full legal and physical custody of my daughter a year earlier than expected. Barbara's partner Armine is also wonderful to work with and an excellent attorney in her own right. They are supported by Rhonda who is kind and responsive during critical times which is exactly what you need as a client. I can't recommend Hammers and Baltazar more. Do yourself a favor, stop your search and hire them!
I first began working with Barbara Hammers in 2006 in regards to a very volatile custody situation. Barbara guided me through some very tough and emotional situations including numerous false allegations from my child's mother. Barbara handled each situation with complete professionalism and a high level of ethics which resulted in me being awarded joint legal and physical custody of my daughter. My family cannot thank Barbara and her entire firm enough for the effort and ethics they have shown through some of the roughest times in our lives. I would highly recommend Barbara Hammers to anyone going through a custody dispute as she is extremely knowledgeable and dependable.
Barbara has done a great job for me at a very reasonable price. She is very experienced, reliable and available. Barbara provides solid advice and support that you can count on. I always thought her bills were reasonable and I have looked at a lot of attorney bills in my business. She is efficient and focuses on what is most important. I did not see any unnecessary work or excessive time on her bills. Most important of all Barbara made me feel confident in a very difficult situation. You can't pay enough for that feeling.
I enthusiastically recommend Ms Hammers, as she cooperated with me and assisted her client and me in getting our matter settled amicably. She was well informed as to the legal and process issues, and, just as importantly, she was kind and considerate during a difficult time.
I thought Barbara did a very professional job of advising my ex wife thoughout the divorce process.
I hired Barbara Hammers after wasting months of time and money with a senior attorney of a large law firm. She was referred to me by a good friend who had Barbara as a family lawyer the year before. I met and interviewed her and learned that she is a State Certified Family Law Specialist. I researched and found that less than 20% of family law attorneys are certified. That's because it's very hard to qualify, only the best of the best are certified. After a good interview I put Barbara in charge of my divorce. Two days later we met and she explained my situation in detail with several clear options. With her guidance I decided what I what I wanted to do. Within two weeks Barbara and her staff had accomplished more than my previous "high profile" lawyer had in four months. I was an important client to Hammers Baltazar and they let me know it by communicating, performing and getting results. The previous attorney regarded me as an inconvenience, he was also vague about the overall cost. Barbara was upfront about the probability of accomplishing what I wanted to do, how long it would take and about how much it would cost. A month after hiring her I saw the difference hard work from a determined, committed professional can make. Phone calls always returned, email promptly replied to. My questions anticipated. A wonderful communicator Barbara spoke clearly and concisely, skipped the legal jargon and made sure I was well informed. She knows how to deal with difficult people and with a warm smile can make her point in very few words. I had a challenging high net worth divorce with very complicated property and custody issues. Barbara and her staff organized box after box of data, sorted it, indexed it and made perfect sense of it all. Her ability to recall facts, figures and points of law is just remarkable. As our trial date approached Barbara, Armine and their staff prepared intensively, day and night for several days, to master every element of our case. Their level of commitment and hard work allowed me to be relaxed and confident when the trial began. All that work paid off with a flawless presentation in court. That's not to say there weren't a few surprises, but when they came she was ready. The trial took almost two weeks and after a few days it became obvious our opposing counsel was unprepared and frustrated. Outclassed they reverted to unprofessional and deceptive legal maneuvers that Barbara wouldn't tolerate. She put them in their place and then argued for, and received, substantial financial sanctions against them from the court. I knew then that underneath her well prepared, professional velvet glove presentation she has an iron fist available for use when it was necessary. Barbara explained to me early on that in family law actions there are no "winners". I understand now what she meant, it's is a very stressful life changing experience. My children and I couldn't be happier with the outcome of the trial. We are now safe and secure and have adjusted well to our "new normal" life. I have resumed my professional career and have a fresh perspective on my future. I will be forever grateful I found this wonderful, incredibly competent woman and her staff to represent my children and me during the most challenging and emotional event of our lives. I wholeheartedly recommend Barbara Hammers and her firm Hammers Baltazar for any family law matter.
Unfortunately, I've had the need for legal council while going through a divorce. I found Barbara to be honest, incredibly hard working and dedicated not only to look out for my own personal best interests, but the best interest of my family too. My divorce was emotionally challenging from both sides. Barbara worked with us to carefully create a solution that all parties agreed to. Looking back, is certainly wasn't easy. It takes a special person to wade such waters, and Barbara did it well. Barbara gives attorney's a good name.
I had fears that my divorce would not go smoothly. Barbara ensured that the each step of the process was executed with precision and professionalism. Her office continued to thrive during the Covid pandemic. She is worth every penny! She listened to all of my questions (especially the silly ones from me!) I ended up with a very amicable, fair, and reassuring divorce. I attribute this to Barbara's excellent counsel.
After wasting time and money with others I was referred to Barbara for help. She took over and got great results much sooner than I expected. Barbara and her partner Armine both have many years of experience and really know family law well. She communicates very clearly and really knows how to get others to be reasonable and settle their differences without going to trial. She saved me a truckload of money.
I have hired Barber hammers for two different divorces over he 16 year. And I have found it she is very knowledgeable in the law and is also very understanding and listens to the client. Both times I don't want to use the word Victorious but I came out on top of both of my divorces and got what I was looking for in custody of children and in financial parts . Her fees are quite reasonable and she is there the whole time for you. She doesn't put you off on a another lawyer or take too many clients that she doesn't have time for you.
Barbara has represented me for many years and has handled all of my actions with professionism, care and accuracy. Most importantly she has successfully argued and won all of my actions.

Finally, she helped me to obtain full legal and physical custody of my daughter a year earlier than expected. Barbara's partner Armine is also wonderful to work with and an excellent attorney in her own right. They are supported by Rhonda who is kind and responsive during critical times which is exactly what you need as a client. I can't recommend Hammers and Baltazar more. Do yourself a favor, stop your search and hire them!
I first began working with Barbara Hammers in 2006 in regards to a very volatile custody situation. Barbara guided me through some very tough and emotional situations including numerous false allegations from my child's mother. Barbara handled each situation with complete professionalism and a high level of ethics which resulted in me being awarded joint legal and physical custody of my daughter. My family cannot thank Barbara and her entire firm enough for the effort and ethics they have shown through some of the roughest times in our lives. I would highly recommend Barbara Hammers to anyone going through a custody dispute as she is extremely knowledgeable and dependable.
Barbara has done a great job for me at a very reasonable price. She is very experienced, reliable and available. Barbara provides solid advice and support that you can count on. I always thought her bills were reasonable and I have looked at a lot of attorney bills in my business. She is efficient and focuses on what is most important. I did not see any unnecessary work or excessive time on her bills. Most important of all Barbara made me feel confident in a very difficult situation. You can't pay enough for that feeling.
I enthusiastically recommend Ms Hammers, as she cooperated with me and assisted her client and me in getting our matter settled amicably. She was well informed as to the legal and process issues, and, just as importantly, she was kind and considerate during a difficult time.
I thought Barbara did a very professional job of advising my ex wife thoughout the divorce process.
