Dominic handled my divorce flawlessly and then many years later some legal things I needed done for the past 9 years. He's always professional. Very open, honest and understanding and makes time for my questions. Most caring lawyer I've ever known.

I would highly recommend Dominic Hamden for your legal issue! He helped me and I am thoroughly satisfied wih his legal services! He is knowledgeable and efficient!

Knowledgeable and experienced attorney that helped to quickly assess a legal issue and offered fair pricing for services!

Worked with me and gave the best information to help me make an informed decision.

Mr. Hamden was recommended to me by the Met Life Insurance Company. He was very helpful in getting me the refund I deserved from a ticket agency. Due to COVID many venues have been canceled and some companies are refusing to give refunds to customers. I contacted Mr. Hamden and explained to him the problem I was having. He was able to help me get a full refund of the ticket price.

This was my first experience with hiring a lawyer and I was the defendant. It was very stressful to say the least but Dominic Hamden explained my options and what this would cost at the initial consultation. He was very straightforward throughout the entire process. He was always professional and extremely prepared for every hearing. I was very impressed with his courtroom demeanor and presentation. My situation revolved around property law. He not only won the case, but was successful in getting my legal fees paid by the plaintiff. In short, Dominic Hamden will be my first call if ever the need arises for legal help.

I have worked with Dominic on some trust, will preparation, Medical POA and financial POA's and he has been responsive and a very good communicator. He is very competent and easy to work with even with my kids coming along to the office to a visit.
