I just finished a lengthy divorce process with Livesay & Myers. Ms. Haight and Ms. Spurgeon are a phenomenal team! I used this firm in particular as I needed someone who understood military divorces/laws and they certainly have that experience!
They are honest, professional and I am very pleased with the services I received. I would absolutely use them again in the future if needed.

Mariah and Rossimar helped me through my contempt and custody matters. They are both amazing and I absolutely recommend them. They made sure to explain everything to me in detail and what options were available, all while respecting the time (money) it took to respond to all my many questions. Over the years I met with a few different attorneys for this matter, but did not feel comfortable with any of them until I met with Mariah for my consultation with Livesay & Myers. I’m so glad I decided to go through with the legal proceedings and am very happy with the representation that I had. Very personable, knowledgeable, and worthwhile.

When I say Mr. Simms is a phenomenal attorney, I mean that in every sense of the word, phenomenal. He is truly dedicated to his work, and he stops at nothing to obtain the best possibly outcome. I was charged with a petit larceny charge that could have ruined my entire life and that of my family as well as my career. Mr. Simms made a 4 hour trip to represent me, and was able to get me a dismissal! If you want a knowledgeable, kind, hardworking attorney, and an attorney that strives to get a dismissal or not guilty verdict, then Mr. Simms is the attorney you need. He won’t disappoint! Thank you Mr. Simms for not only representing me, but for making the drive to represent me, and for not settling for anything less than a dismissal, and that’s exactly what you got for me. I will be eternally grateful for your devotion to my case, and for getting me the verdict of dismissal. I owe you my life for what you did. Thank you sir for representing me! You’re simply phenomenal in every sense of the word, and your kindness will never be forgotten!

I really needed an attorney who was going to advocate for me and my daughter. Instead, Cheri guided me through the court process and helped me create a parenting plan with my narcissistic, psychopathic ex. This is obviously a routine thing, but I needed other options to protect my daughter and myself from repeat abuse. We’re currently in an abusive situation after Cheri has settled all matters and filed for completion of services; along with, ignoring my email requesting legal guidance.

Attorney Scott has years of experience and is very knowledgeable in Florida Family Law. She will explain every step with great detail and will make sure you understand the process. A divorce proceeding, a modification of timesharing, or any other family legal proceeding puts you in great stress and makes you feel lost at the beginning, but attorney Scott lifts that weight off your shoulders and guides you in the best direction possible so you can get your life back on tack.

Attorney Amy Risseeuw was excellent in her handling of my personal injury claim. From my first contact with Attorney Risseeuw, I was impressed by both her professionalism and her friendly demeanor. Attorney Risseeuw agreed to take my case when other law offices had declined to do so. Along the way she showed great attention to my case and kept me well informed. Ultimately Attorney Risseeuw secured a successful settlement for which I am very grateful. I would highly recommend the firm of Peteson, Berk & Cross.

Alyssa and her staff are helpful, informative and the process was transparent.
We will be using her for all our future family law needs.

Doesn't matter how important your case or the timeline. You can wait two months for them to never contact you, despite contacting them multiple times, and lose your court case, or you can go elsewhere. There's nice reviews from years ago. Apparently they fell off.

Kelly Morgan is a very rare Attorney. He is kind, patient, a great listener, easy to communicate with, responsive and solution oriented. I reached out to Attorney Morgan after a business deal had gone awry, in search of a legal expert that could help my company. In my mind, help meant, “let’s go to court.” Attorney Morgan, however, with his calm and level-headed demeanor, talked me off the ledge with a suggestion to meet with the opposing party because of the relationship he and I have. The result of which positioned my friend and I to finish our deal and remain friends. All thanks to Attorney Morgan. Thank you, Kelly!

I called the office trying to get a consultation, the receptionist asked me which attorney I wanted to meet with. I’m not familiar with the process so I responded that I don’t know, any attorney that can do a consultation. She said that she could book me 2/4/6 weeks out. When I asked what the date would be and which lawyer it would be she hung up. I don’t know every lawyer in YOUR office, miss. Rude

After unsatisfactory experiences with previous counsel, I was referred to Jen by a friend. During our initial consultation, I was immediately drawn to her expertise and approach. Unlike my previous attorney, Jen was responsive and accessible. She promptly returned my calls, texts, or emails within 24hours, a testament to her efficient management of her clientele.
As this was my first divorce, I was unfamiliar with the legal process. Jen patiently explained the intricacies of the proceedings and guided me through the necessary steps. Her candid and straightforward approach fostered a trusting relationship. If you seek an attorney who prioritizes your well-being while maintaining professionalism, I highly recommend considering Jen as your legal representative.

I worked with Connor and AJ with Cantor Law firm on my family law case, and I was very impressed with their level of expertise and the quality of representation.
Connor and AJ were extremely knowledgeable, thorough and excelled at writing motions, which really got my point across. I believe this made a significant difference in my case, as their clear and compelling arguments helped strengthen my position.
Connor was extremely well-informed about every detail of my case, even recalling critical information from months prior. His remarkable memory and dedication demonstrated a deep understanding of family law and ensured that no detail was overlooked.
While the quality of the service was excellent, the fees were more than I expected going into it. Despite the cost, I believe the representation was worth the investment because, in the end, my children are all that matter.
If you're looking for an attorney who is not only skilled but also excels in effective legal writing and strong representation, I highly recommend Connor but be prepared for higher-than-expected costs, as high-quality legal representation can come at a premium.

My husband and I are very glad to have used Cantor Law Group's attorney services! From the very beginning and in our initial consultation, we were cared for and recommend the best lawyer for our particular needs. This was the first time we hired a lawyer, and Andrea Banks made the whole process easy to understand and very efficient. She was always on top of our needs and wishes being completed, and would regularly check in with us! We were so happy to have a lawyer we could call immediately if there were any sudden questions we needed answered, or any concerns we had. Andrea and her assistant Kendra are a wonderful team to work with and get the job done as soon as possible! We HIGHLY recommend this law office, but more specifically these two wonderful women who made sure we were well taken care of in our particular case!

I recently had to deal with a real estate dispute that involved relatives and needed to be handled with great care. Rebecca and her staff (Chris was especially terrific) did an amazing job, they are very competent. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Communication was top notch; I knew exactly what was going on at all times. It was a lengthy process, almost two years, and I feel that her compensation was more than fair. She was recommended to me by a good friend, a lawyer himself. She is highly respected by her peers. I recommend her without reservation.

That won't happen to me, I said. I am not of that race, nationality, or ethnicity, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I don’t practice that religion, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I’m not of that sexual orientation, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I’m not part of that income bracket, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I don’t have that disability, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, until it was physically in my face, had me backed into a corner, and was spewing utter vitriol at me. That won't happen to me, I said, he'd never lay a hand on me, until one day the physical aggression caused me physical pain and injury. That won’t happen to me, I said, until thirteen months ago, when I found myself on the phone with a domestic violence hotline. That won’t happen to me, I said, until thirteen months ago, when I found myself hurriedly packing a bag and fleeing my home, and boarding an aircraft out of state, because I feared for my life and safety. Fifty years ago, when my mother and her family escaped their war-torn country with nothing but the clothes on their backs and one bag per person due to religious persecution, I never imagined that one day, fifty years into the future, that I too would one day find myself following in her footsteps, quite literally.
I never imagined that I would one day find myself fleeing my home with nothing but the clothes on my back and one small carry-on bag, and boarding a same-day aircraft bound for 1,000+ miles away, because I too feared for my life and safety. Thirteen months ago, when I found myself on the phone with a local domestic violence agency in my state, I never imagined that the proverbial door would get slammed in my face, on the basis that I earned too much money to qualify for any help or support. Since I was born and raised abroad, and with my own family still living halfway around the world, it was in that moment that I truly realized, and that it genuinely sunk in, that I was going to be completely and entirely alone in the process of escaping the cycle of violence.
In 1848, divorce was practically unheard of. Most states had fault-based divorce laws outlining the requirements and criteria permitting divorce: lunacy, adultery, desertion, or cruelty. This meant that couples could only pursue divorce IF they could prove, in a court of law, that one or the other had committed one of these offenses. However, given the laws (or lack thereof) governing women's rights and freedoms at the time, divorce was far more complex for women, as they remained at risk of being unable to regain their last names, unable to retain property acquired prior to their marriage, or unable to obtain custody of their children. These fault-based grounds are in stark contrast to the no-fault system that exists across most states today. Today, after decades of tireless advocacy, and thanks to incredible attorneys like Laurie Wasserman and Virginia Yeoman, people are no longer required to remain shackled to their spouses, and have the freedom to escape the cycle of violence. Thanks to the fabulous support of Laurie and Virginia, I've not only been able to survive, but I am slowly on my way to thriving again. The words "happiness" and "divorce" are the last two words you'd expect to see in the same sentence, but that is exactly what Virginia and Laurie have facilitated for me.
For anyone considering engaging the services of Laurie Wasserman and her team, from the bottom of my heart, I wholeheartedly recommend them and their entire office. They'll not only save your life, but they will also help re-unlock your door to freedom, health, independence, and joy again.

Karen took me on last minute. I couldn't have asked for a better divorce attorney. After our first FOC meet she was able to get me two nights shy of 50% of my daughter, then 2. A month later she was able to get me 50%. It was a very tough process for me but she made it rather easy. I didn't want much from the divorce, but what I did want she was able to get for me. There was a lot that I needed to hear through this whether it was good or bad and she kept it straight and honest.

My son was mortally injured by an incompetent, negligent act. Signing William Enoch Andrews to fight for us was a great choice. I learned of his hard work ethic from relatives who spoke highly of his expertise. He is result oriented with getting the job done. No BS, just action. He fought for me, and never let me down.
At the time of total loss he interjected a sense of Peace and Confidence, knowing he was fighting in my corner. He is dogged, resourceful, knowledgeable, and gets results.
With his representation I was able to realize substantial compensation and move forward somewhat through this difficult time in my life.
William has become a close friend and a very trusted ally. From a professional perspective he is the best.

Attorney Andrews, more than a legal representation, he’s a friend & associate for life! In late December of 2024, my wife and I were involved in a multiple-vehicle accident as the result of a small towing company. This near-tragic event reshaped both of our lives on so many levels, not only physically, resulting in several medical treatments, doctor visits, and surgeries for my wife and I, but emotionally, psychologically, and financially as well. Will is an AWESOME ROCK-STAR attorney with many years & successes representing clients with exceptional results. During our ordeal, he ensured not only our insurance, but the at-fault party’s insurance did not run over us and leave us with expensive medical bills and out-of-pocket expenses. Additionally, he was straight forward with us all the way through, and every step of the legal process. One of the major reasons in our decisions to choose Attorney Andrews over the competition was that he had many positive reviews, and we paid no out of pocket expenses or legal fees up-front. In the end, he ensured all our financial and medical expenses were resolved. He then went the extra mile and negotiated with all medical providers reducing their medical fees, resulting in leftover cash for pain and suffering. Although this multifaceted event has changed both my wife and I, we are both so thankful and Blessed to have an Amazing capable attorney representing us and supporting us throughout the whole accident ordeal. We Strongly recommend Attorney Will Andrews for all legal matters in the accident & injury area!

I was a pedestrian in a hit-and-run accident. Although the driver was caught, Utah's no-fault law meant I had to cover all my medical bills. Hospitals will treat you, but they only bill your own medical insurance (if you have it) and won’t use the perpetrator’s insurance information, even if you obtain it later.
In my case, my bills exceeded $70,000, but the driver’s insurance only covered $50,000. Without legal representation, you’re responsible for any medical costs that surpass your own coverage and the perpetrator's insurance limits. This is why having an attorney is crucial. Will Andrews was key in negotiating my bills, reducing the excess I owed, and ensuring I received some compensation. It’s a challenging process, especially when the perpetrator has limited coverage, but Will did a fantastic job. He also took the time to clearly explain everything from the start, which I greatly appreciated.
If you find yourself in a similar situation, here’s my advice:
--Log into your patient portal as soon as possible, retrieve all billing and medical records, and send them to Will right away.
--It can take 1-2 months for all bills to appear, so keep checking and provide updates. Always send documents in PDF format and keep copies for your records.
The process is slow—it took over a year for my case to resolve—not because of Will but due to delays from insurance companies and their frequent staff turnover. Will, however, was consistently attentive, asking how I and my family were doing before providing updates.
For example, the Attorney General requested my medical records for the criminal case against the perpetrator. Despite my requesting them promptly, it took nine months for the hospital to send the records in a sealed envelope. By then, Will had already negotiated a settlement with my medical insurance using the information I’d sent him from my patient portal.
Thanks to Will’s diligence and expertise, I received more than I expected. I highly recommend him for his experience, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients.
Thanks again, Will!

I had the best experience with Zachary Gottlieb and his team at Litowich Law. Zach was very professional and personable but above all, he was very communicative which I was really appreciative of. I live a couple hours from Salem, and yet he made it very easy to exchange/submit documents back and forth. The office was also very easy to reach and hear back from. I am very happy with my experience and I would recommend him and Litowich Law to anyone.

I hired Michael Fiala to handle my case and it was the best decision I ever made. I contracted with his law firm two days ago as my court case isn’t until the end of January 2025 and just today received word that they’ve dismissed my case. Wow, I was blown away that they were proactive in resolving my case well before the actual due date. I would highly Recommend this law firm. Great job and thank you for all you did Michael.

Divorce is a painful experience both financially and mentally. Amy made one of the darkest moments of my life manageable. I don’t know how I would’ve survived this awful experience without her. Amy fought for me and did so while being conscientious about preserving my assets. She gave it to me straight - I always knew where I stood in the eyes of the court. She’s a master trial attorney, an expert negotiator, and a kind human being. I highly recommend Amy Jonaitis!

As a father I pursued custody of my daughter twice due to continued substance issues with her mother. After being unsuccessful in my first case, I hired Catie and was able to get my second case moved to Cherokee county. Not only were we successful in being awarded custody but I was also awarded attorney fees. Catie and her team provided excellent communication throughout the entire process and delivered the desired results for my family. Thank you and I highly recommend Catie.

I had the privilege of working with Jennifer Gower Side and her paralegal, Scarlett, during a difficult family law matter, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their professionalism, expertise, and compassionate approach. From our initial consultation to the final resolution, Jennifer took the time to fully understand my situation and provided clear, honest advice every step of the way.
What stood out most was their ability to navigate the emotional complexity of my case while ensuring that all legal aspects were handled thoroughly and efficiently. They communicated with me regularly, answering any questions I had and addressing my concerns promptly, which helped alleviate a lot of stress during a challenging time.
I was particularly grateful for Jennifer’s attention to detail and her proactive approach to resolving issues before they became bigger problems. Her knowledge of family law is extensive, and she was able to provide solid strategies that worked in my best interest.
Thanks to Jennifer, I feel that I not only received expert legal representation, but I was also treated with kindness and respect throughout the process. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled and caring family law attorney.

Probate is a lengthy process but Amy Byrne is very attentive and responds quickly. She responding quickly, even when flooding occurred in Oroville and she did not have access to her office she maintained close contact with us. She is very articulate and wrote detailed easy to understand responses to all or our questions. She was willing to answer questions beyond the scope of the probate. The probate process is very lengthy in California but she moves things along at a faster pace than many others would and reduces the frustration created by the long process. She is the salve on the wound of a parents death.

Best Attorney you'll EVER FIND,FOR A MALPRACTICE CASE!! He couldn't have worked any harder for me than he did! I ended up with him, on a whim of a recommendation from a different attorney after I'd been passed down to some new Atty that just wanted to get it settled,done and over, wanting me to settle for $11k total with him getting 40% of that & so on! Mike took me on,took his time to do it right 👍🏻 & I will tell you this much,the case ended up settling for a ton MORE! I can't disclose that, but he's well worth it 🤩

What an Adoption Lawyer Can Do for You
An adoption lawyer specializes in navigating the legal complexities of the adoption process, ensuring that the rights of all parties involved - the adoptive parents, birth parents, and the child - are protected. They assist families through the different types of adoption, such as domestic, international, foster care, stepparent, and private adoptions. Adoption lawyers ensure that the adoption process complies with state, federal, and international laws, and handle any legal issues that may arise during the process, such as terminating parental rights, conducting home studies, and finalizing the adoption.
If you're looking to adopt or if you're a birth parent considering placing your child for adoption, an adoption lawyer can guide you through the legal requirements and ensure the process goes smoothly.
When Should I Hire an Adoption Lawyer?
You should consider hiring an adoption lawyer in the following situations:
- Private or independent adoption: If you’re adopting a child directly from the birth parents without the involvement of an adoption agency, a lawyer is essential to draft and review all legal documents, including consent forms and parental rights termination agreements.
- Foster care adoption: If you’re adopting a child from foster care, a lawyer can help navigate the legal process, ensure the child’s eligibility for adoption, and represent you in court to finalize the adoption.
- Stepparent or relative adoption: If you’re adopting a stepchild or a relative, a lawyer can assist in terminating the parental rights of the biological parent and ensure the adoption is completed legally and efficiently.
- International adoption: International adoptions are complex, involving multiple layers of laws from the U.S. and the child’s birth country. A lawyer can help navigate immigration requirements and ensure compliance with international treaties like the Hague Convention.
- Contested adoptions: If a birth parent changes their mind about the adoption or there is a dispute over parental rights, a lawyer can represent you in court and ensure that the adoption proceeds legally.
- Adoption for same-sex couples: If you're a same-sex couple looking to adopt, a lawyer can help ensure that your adoption complies with state laws and that both parents have equal legal rights to the child.
- Birth parent representation: If you’re a birth parent considering adoption, a lawyer can ensure that your rights are protected, help you understand the legal implications of terminating parental rights, and ensure that your decision is legally sound.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help avoid legal complications and ensure that the adoption is legally finalized as smoothly as possible.
What Does an Adoption Lawyer Do?
An adoption lawyer provides a variety of legal services, ensuring that the adoption process is completed in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Their responsibilities often include:
- Filing legal paperwork: Adoption lawyers handle all the necessary paperwork, including petitions to terminate parental rights, consent forms, and final adoption decrees. They ensure that the adoption is in line with state, federal, and international laws.
- Conducting home studies: Some adoptions require a home study to evaluate the prospective adoptive family. While a social worker usually conducts the study, a lawyer can ensure that the process complies with legal requirements and that the report is submitted correctly.
- Terminating parental rights: Lawyers assist in terminating the legal rights of the biological parents, either voluntarily through signed consent or involuntarily through court proceedings if necessary.
- Representing clients in court: Adoption lawyers represent adoptive parents, birth parents, or other parties in court hearings to finalize the adoption or resolve disputes.
- Navigating international adoption laws: For international adoptions, a lawyer helps ensure that all legal requirements, both in the U.S. and the child’s home country, are met, including securing the child’s visa and citizenship.
- Providing legal advice: Adoption lawyers guide clients through each step of the adoption process, advising them on their rights and obligations, as well as any potential legal issues that may arise.
- Drafting post-adoption agreements: In some cases, especially open adoptions, a lawyer can help draft post-adoption agreements that specify the level of contact between the adoptive and birth parents.
How Are Adoption Lawyers Paid?
Adoption lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the adoption and the time involved. Common payment structures include:
- Flat fee: Many adoption lawyers charge a flat fee for handling the entire adoption process. This is common for straightforward adoptions, such as stepparent or foster care adoptions, where the legal work is relatively predictable.
- Hourly rate: For more complex adoptions, such as contested or international adoptions, some lawyers charge by the hour, with rates typically ranging from $200 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Retainer: In cases where the adoption process may take longer or involve more legal work (e.g., termination of parental rights or court disputes), a lawyer may require a retainer, which is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on the case.
It’s important to discuss fees with your lawyer upfront, so you understand the total cost of the adoption and any additional expenses that may arise during the process.
How Much Does an Adoption Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring an adoption lawyer depends on the type of adoption and the complexity of the case. General cost estimates include:
- Stepparent or relative adoption: Legal fees for these types of adoptions typically range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on whether the adoption is contested or requires a court hearing.
- Domestic private adoption: The legal fees for a private adoption usually range from $5,000 to $10,000, including drafting documents, terminating parental rights, and finalizing the adoption in court.
- International adoption: International adoptions are generally more expensive, with legal fees ranging from $7,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the adoption and the child’s country of origin.
- Contested adoption: If the adoption is contested and involves court disputes, legal fees may range from $10,000 to $20,000 or more, depending on the length and complexity of the court proceedings.
In addition to lawyer fees, adoptive parents should also be aware of additional costs such as court filing fees, home study fees, and travel expenses (for international adoptions).
Top Questions to Ask an Adoption Lawyer
Before hiring an adoption lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the experience and knowledge to handle your case effectively. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with adoptions?
Ensure the lawyer has experience with the specific type of adoption you’re pursuing, whether it’s domestic, international, foster care, or stepparent adoption. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a flat fee or hourly rate and ask for a detailed breakdown of the costs involved in your adoption. -
What are the legal requirements for my adoption?
Ask the lawyer to explain the legal steps involved in your adoption and any specific requirements that may apply to your case, such as home studies or parental consent. -
How long will the adoption process take?
Adoption timelines can vary depending on the type of adoption, so ask the lawyer for an estimate of how long the process will take, including any potential delays. -
What are the common challenges in adoption cases?
Ask about any potential legal challenges that could arise during the adoption process and how the lawyer plans to address them. -
Will I need to go to court?
Depending on the adoption, you may need to attend court hearings. Ask the lawyer whether your presence will be required and what to expect during these hearings. -
Can you help with post-adoption issues?
Ask the lawyer if they can assist with any post-adoption issues, such as obtaining the child’s birth certificate, finalizing the child’s U.S. citizenship (for international adoptions), or drafting post-adoption contact agreements.
How to Check the Credibility of an Adoption Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable adoption lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no disciplinary actions on their record.
- Look for adoption experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in adoption law and have experience handling cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the lawyer.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on adoption cases.
- Check for memberships in relevant organizations: Look for lawyers who are members of adoption-focused organizations like the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys (AAAA), which can indicate their expertise in this field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with an adoption lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Information about the child and birth parents: Provide any available information about the child you’re adopting (e.g., age, country of origin, current living situation) and the birth parents, if applicable.
- Adoption preferences: Be clear about the type of adoption you’re pursuing - whether it’s domestic, international, foster care, stepparent, or private - and discuss any preferences you have regarding the child’s age, background, or special needs.
- Legal documents (if applicable): If you’ve already begun the adoption process or have signed any agreements, bring copies of all relevant legal documents, such as consent forms or agency agreements.
- Questions about the adoption process: Prepare a list of questions about the legal steps involved in your adoption, potential timelines, and any concerns you may have about the process.
- Financial considerations: Be ready to discuss your budget for legal fees and any additional costs, such as home studies, court fees, and travel expenses (for international adoptions).
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice for your adoption journey.
