  When you’re going through a divorce, you’ve already lost something. The process isn’t about regaining what’s gone, but protecting what still matters. For me, that was my children. Erin and her team at Fait & DiLima reassured me, kept me grounded, and were always professional and responsive—even on weekends. They helped me focus on what truly matters, and for that I am deeply grateful.

  Marjorie and Erin made a painful and challenging experience as smooth as it could be. Not only did they help with the logistics of the legal process, they were supportive of the emotional impact of divorce as well. Erin, thanks for the guidance - I do believe I handled it all with Grace and Dignity.

  I can’t say enough good things about Erin and Michael. From the start, I appreciated their honesty and candor — they didn’t sugarcoat things or tell me what I wanted to hear. Instead, they were real with me about what to expect, what my options were, and what I needed to do to protect myself and my children. That kind of straightforwardness is rare and something I value deeply. Unlike so many lawyers who seem to nickel and dime for every minute, Erin and Michael were fair, transparent, and genuinely focused on helping me. They were both professional yet approachable, and I always felt like they truly cared about the outcome — not just the billable hours. Erin’s background and expertise in mental health and addiction were especially valuable in my case. She understood the complexities of the situation in a way that most attorneys wouldn’t, and her insight made a huge difference in how things were handled. Michael’s clear and concise litigation skills were equally impressive. He has a calm, confident presence in the courtroom and knows exactly how to present information in a way that’s both compelling and grounded in fact. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was the one speaking on my behalf. Both Erin and Michael are the kind of lawyers you want in your corner — smart, compassionate, and tough when it matters. I’m incredibly grateful for their guidance and support throughout a very difficult process.

  I communicated often with them during my divorce and am very satisfied with the advice and help I received. I was particularly impressed with their knowledge of federal employee issues regarding divorce. They were invaluable in drafting the various documents and the MSA.
