If you are reading this, your attorney search is done. Let me explain.
Erica agreed to represent me for an extremely important hearing regarding custody of my son. In a very short period of time, she was able to come up to speed on my case. Her preparation and attention to detail was obvious as she worked through witness testimony and her ability to respond to objections by opposing counsel was impressive (if I could have filmed her courtroom performance, I would upload here).
Erica is an amazing attorney - I wholeheartedly recommend you call her office.

Erica feinswog is an amazing woman...Amazing.... this woman took on my case like a Caring mother and took away all of my problems.. She was always prepared. Always in court. Always on time for everything. She saved my butt when everything against me was saying that I already lost. Very brillante, really caring, the most responsible person ive ever met. I had to write this review because I still feel like I haven't paid her enough. This woman is really good! She got my kids back really quick and helped me get my life together as well. Her and all of her staff are a team and well organized😊. I felt like family. The way she represented me I would have paid her anything she asked. I wouldn't put my life in anyone else's hands...

I would be lying if I said anything negative about this fine lady and very best lawyer anyone could have to represent them! Amanda Salcido whom happens to be the wife of one of my close friends at church, was so dependable and helpful. She gave excellent advice, and even recommended things I did not think of! Talk about someone who knows what they are doing and the patience to get it done right! I'm so very happy and grateful that she was there, to help me through this challenging event of my life. I will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of legal service. If I'm silly enough to need this type of help again... Amanda Salcido, you know whom I'm calling!!!

Coffman Family Law took a stressful situation and supported me through the process with good information and knowledge of the law.
Josh Coffman is both professional and extremely personal and compassionate in how he deals with clients and his support staff reflect his approach. They are timely, responsive and communicative.
Working with Josh and team, we were able to successfully navigate a difficult case that resulted in a fair mediated settlement and Josh took every step to insure it was handled most efficiently and at the lowest cost in fees possible.
I can't recommend Coffman Famlily Law highly enough and would willing refer them to family and friends.

Tammy was an excellent attorney to us during a very unexpected civil suit. We were scared and not knowledgeable of the Florida family court system. Tammy took the time to make sure our concerns were heard and guided us through the process very thoroughly. She kept us accountable and also was very timely in her responses. Ultimately, I believe we reached the best outcome possible with her help. I appreciate everything she did for my child and our family, and would highly recommend her to others with court-related family issues.

Teresa Beyers is a go-to for your divorce and family law needs. I have read some reviews and disagree with the very few bad reviews. She has a ton of knowledge and a great ability to navigate a divorce case. Many reviews are written about charging too much for a divorce, but people don't understand she is more reasonable than most. Divorce is never cheap, Teresa will get you what you want and then some.

Thankfully I have not needed the services of Millar Legal personally, but I know two others that have. The theme always seems to be that Aaron is a highly skilled attorney, without question, but the difference for them was how personable and compassionate Aaron was during an (obviously) stressful and emotional time. I personally know Aaron through other professional channels and can attest to the fact that he genuinely cares for people, beyond just the courtroom. The other great reviews and testimonials all ring true. Easy call to make.

I began the divorce process in October of 2021. At the time, I had different counsel. Nearly a year into the saga, I was referred to Aaron through another family law attorney. Once I hired Aaron, I knew I had the right attorney.
My case was very high conflict. Aaron would ask my thoughts and ideas on the best way to navigate all the roadblocks that were thrown our way. Aaron was always calm. He was a voice of reason. He would ask questions to ensure he understood what I needed. Aaron did not always agree with me. When we didn’t agree, he explained his position and the most likely outcome. He was quick to return emails or phone calls. I could count on a response within 24-48 hours.
My case ultimately ended up at trial. I appreciated Aaron’s honesty and integrity throughout the entire process. He was very thoughtful with all of the motions and exhibits he presented to the Court, as he understood the Court does not have a lot of time to spend on each case. At trial, Aaron was able to take hundreds of pages of information and display them on a spreadsheet that was easy for everyone, including the judge, to understand. During the first day of trial, the Judge held up Aaron’s spreadsheet specific to alimony. It detailed previous martial expenses, current expenses and predicted expenses. The Judge shook it above his head while exclaiming that is how it should be done! While making his ruling, the Judge once again commented how helpful Aaron’s presentation was in determining alimony. Aaron was always in control: control of himself, control of the room, control of the issues, control of the evidence.
Aaron was able to get me full physical and legal custody of my 16 year old, he successfully negotiated that she determine parent time and secured more alimony than I ever wanted or expected.
Aaron and I made a great team. Normally I would approach Aaron with a solution to the latest problem. Aaron was always open to my ideas; he wasn’t threatened by my involvement. I had some ideas that were unconventional but checked off all of the boxes when it came to the law. Aaron was willing to advocate for me even though he didn’t know what the outcome would be. Aaron was very methodical. He was not ego driven. Aaron did what was best for his client, not what was the easiest or most popular. Whether he agreed with me or not, Aaron would always hear me out. My prior counsel dismissed me even when I had what ultimately became the winning strategy.
I will always recommend Millar Legal to anyone that finds themself needing legal representation, specifically in a high conflict divorce case.

Mr. Millar was a wonderful attorney to work with. Throughout the entire process, from the date I first reached out for a consult, up until the end of mediation, he was honest with me about my options and helped guide me toward the best possible outcome based on my needs. He and his team were extremely professional and it was clear he is very knowledgeable. Whenever I had a question, he and his team were quick to answer with a thorough response. The care and dedication that his team took really demonstrated that they cared about me as a client and wanted me to be successful. He did well at making me feel confident in mediation, which was extremely helpful during what could have potentially been a high stress situation. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Five years ago, after a frustrating experience with another law firm, I turned to Cari and her team at Rincker Law. Two years earlier, I had inherited farmland that had been in my family for generations. Unfortunate circumstances complicated the process, and my previous lawyer only made things worse.
Despite my hesitations and fears, my first meeting with Cari went smoothly. From the start, she demonstrated extensive knowledge, empathy, and professionalism. She took my disorganized paperwork, clarified the situation, and walked me through the next steps, assuring me that everything would be handled.
Throughout this journey, Cari has lifted the burden from my shoulders, guiding me step-by-step through the complexities of the legal process. Thanks to her expertise, we have now successfully navigated the legal hurdles and listed the land for sale. When it sells, I trust Rincker Law to handle the next steps with the same efficiency and care.
I can’t say enough about Rincker Law’s expertise, especially when it comes to family and agricultural law. Cari’s professionalism is matched by her empathy and even a sense of humor that lightened a stressful situation. She restored my trust in legal professionals, and I finally see a positive resolution, thanks to her guidance.
I highly recommend Rincker Law to anyone in need of legal assistance. They are responsive, approachable, and genuinely dedicated to their clients.

Cari Rincker stands out from any other lawyer I've worked with professionally. She maintains a very high level of professionalism and expertise, while also providing warmth and empathy. When you meet with Cari, she doesn't overwhelm you with legalese or make you feel like you're being cross-examined. Instead, she listens thoughtfully and offers digestible advice, explaining complex legal situations in a way that makes sense in layman's terms. I was impressed with Cari's deep knowledge of the law. She is an exceptional generalist with multiple specialties. When I went to her for general counsel, she was able to give me high-level advice and then refer me to an expert for confirmation. Each time, that expert would echo her initial counsel and validate her suggestions. That's how talented she is. Cari was always prompt in her responses and transparent in her communication. She is a fantastic lawyer and I recommend her to anyone.

Though I don’t remember how I met Cari and her team at Rincker Law, I do remember that it was the best choice I could have made during a challenging time in my life. Struggling through a painful divorce, I needed someone who could provide a nice balance of professionalism and empathy.
The drawn-out divorce process required legal expertise and an emotional support system that I didn’t know I needed. Cari listened to my needs and concerns, provided unbiased advice, and represented me in a way where I felt protected. Navigating me through, she explained legal ramifications, gave unbiased advice, and efficiently streamlined the process.
Now a decade later, I’m happily married, and content with my new life. Together, we returned to Rincker Law for help with our wills. I’m so grateful for the partner I had through the ups and downs of my life and would not be where I am without the help I needed during a difficult time. Cari’s warmth, professionalism, communication, and empathy will always be part of my memories.
I strongly recommend Rincker Law and encourage you to trust them with all your legal needs.

I often encounter Shawn in court and he always conducts himself professionally and ethically. He is extremely knowledgeable, and I feel that Shawn really does have the best interest of his clients in mind. He is not an attorney that just wants to settle cases and move on. I often consult with him about legal issues, and he is always able to produce proper legal advice.
Additionally, he has a wonderful relationship with the Judges and that goes a long way in criminal defense.

Mike took my pre-existing case when my previous lawyer had a schedule conflict. Right out the gate, Mike made things extremely clear. I have spent two years fearful and worried about my custody case. In just a few days, Mike laid out the VA Code for custody, clearly explaining how things would go and what the rules are. This brought me such relief, as no one had ever done that. He listened to my fears, reassured me with the law, and worked quickly to get up to speed on my case with just about 2 weeks time to work. He was VERY good in the courtroom, his questioning of my ex husband helped show the court his true colors, and ultimately, he helped me protect my children from added time with their unstable and unreliable parent. Mike is an excellent and clear communicator, respectful and kind, has empathy, but gets the job done and knows how to deal with lying narcissists.

I am extremely pleased with the services I received from Dwayne. I required a Trust and Will for my Estate Plan. Dwayne was knowledgeable and professional from the first consultation to the closing. He did an amazing job overviewing and explaining my Trust options. When I had additional questions, he was patient and provided detailed explanations. The entire process was completed within weeks.

Tracy and Joelle by far is the best team! Have been in my crazy battle for 4 years now, with my previous lawyer he did an okay job, but after hiring Tracy and her team, I am finally making progress. Tracy has been very transparent and gives the best advice throughout this crazy/difficult time. She has given me so much peace of mind and very on top of it. Her and Joelle has exceeded all of my expectations and then some. I am a complete over thinker and they both have eased my mind so much and have kept me sane from all of the crap I have been through.

There are a lot of men in Louisiana that believe that the courts favor the women. I believed that exact same thing. I did a ton of research looking for the perfect lawyer to represent me for my divorce. While doing my research I came across the saying "Have you ever tried to argue with a woman?". This immediately caught my attention, because what man hasn't. Let me tell you, this is not a woman that you want to go up against. She does not mess around when it comes to children, custody and divorce. There was always contact throughout the entire process with the entire team. They didn't feed me any lines and gave me realistic expectations of what would happen. I was awarded sole custody in Louisiana! I never thought that would happen. I know that every man out there has that fear of the state favoring women. I am proof that isn't true anymore. I would highly recommend speaking to Ms. Thompson if you are in this situation. I would like to thank Ms. Thompson, Mr. Bursavich, Mr. Patterson and the amazing team they have for the time and effort they put into my case. If there is any time that they need me to step in personally to tell my story at their office, I will be more than willing to come in and do so. I would like to thank them again have done and are continuing to do.

I hired Mr. Mitchell to assist with the very sad but necessary eviction of a family member from a townhouse. Mr. Mitchell was always prompt, courteous and professional in all our communication, which was made more challenging due to me living out of state. He informed me thoroughly of my legal rights and responsibilities and of legal actions to be taken in various circumstances. He coached me well in how to communicate with the family member tenant in order to comply with the law and get the best outcome. He took care of serving the tenant the written notice. And because of this, we a had the best outcome considering the very difficult and unfortunate circumstances. Should I need a lawyer in VA Beach again, I will definitely reach out to him.

What a Child Custody Lawyer Can Do for You
A child custody lawyer specializes in helping parents navigate legal matters related to the custody and care of their children, particularly in the context of divorce, separation, or other family disputes. These lawyers assist with determining custody arrangements, drafting parenting plans, and advocating for your rights in court. They also help resolve disputes over physical custody (where the child lives), legal custody (who makes decisions for the child), visitation rights, and modifications to existing custody orders.
Whether you're going through a divorce or need to change an existing custody arrangement, a child custody lawyer can help you understand your rights and protect your child's best interests throughout the legal process.
When Should I Hire a Child Custody Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a child custody lawyer in several situations, especially when disputes arise or complex legal issues affect your parental rights. Some common reasons to hire a child custody lawyer include:
- Divorce or separation: If you're going through a divorce or separation and need to establish custody and visitation arrangements, a lawyer can help ensure the custody order reflects your child's best interests.
- Disputed custody cases: If you and the other parent cannot agree on custody or visitation terms, a lawyer can advocate for your rights in court and help you develop a strong case.
- Modification of custody orders: If you need to change an existing custody arrangement due to changes in circumstances (e.g., relocation, changes in the child’s needs), a lawyer can help file a modification request.
- Parental alienation: If the other parent is interfering with your relationship with your child, a lawyer can help address these issues through legal action.
- Domestic violence or abuse: If there is a history of domestic violence or abuse, a lawyer can help protect you and your child by requesting restraining orders and advocating for appropriate custody arrangements.
- Grandparent or third-party custody: If you are a grandparent or another relative seeking custody or visitation rights, a lawyer can guide you through the legal process.
- Paternity disputes: In cases where paternity is in question, a lawyer can assist with establishing or challenging paternity, which may affect custody and visitation rights.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help protect your parental rights and ensure that the custody arrangement is in your child's best interests.
What Does a Child Custody Lawyer Do?
A child custody lawyer provides a variety of legal services to help parents resolve custody disputes and secure favorable custody arrangements for their children. Their responsibilities often include:
- Filing custody petitions: Helping you file the necessary paperwork to request custody or visitation rights and ensuring all legal procedures are followed.
- Negotiating custody agreements: Assisting in negotiating custody and visitation arrangements, often working toward a mutually beneficial parenting plan without going to court.
- Representing you in court: If you and the other parent cannot agree on custody terms, representing you in court by presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
- Drafting parenting plans: Helping you draft a comprehensive parenting plan that outlines the schedule for physical custody, decision-making responsibilities, and visitation.
- Handling child support issues: Assisting with related issues such as child support, ensuring that financial obligations are properly calculated and enforced.
- Modifying custody orders: Helping you request a modification from the court if you need to change an existing custody arrangement due to significant life changes.
- Mediating custody disputes: Acting as a mediator to help both parents reach an agreement on custody and visitation without the need for litigation.
How Are Child Custody Lawyers Paid?
Child custody lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case, the time involved, and the nature of the legal work. Common payment methods include:
- Hourly rate: Most child custody lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer's experience and location. The total cost depends on the time spent preparing documents, negotiating, and representing you in court.
- Flat fee: For simple custody matters or uncontested custody agreements, some lawyers may offer a flat fee for specific services, such as drafting a parenting plan or filing a custody petition.
- Retainer: Many lawyers require an upfront retainer fee, which is billed against as the lawyer works on your case. The amount varies based on the expected complexity and duration of the case.
- Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some lawyers may offer reduced fees or pro bono (free) services for clients with limited financial means, particularly in cases involving domestic violence or other serious issues.
It’s important to discuss fees and payment arrangements with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will be charged and what services are included.
How Much Does a Child Custody Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a child custody lawyer depends on various factors, including the complexity of the case, whether it’s contested or uncontested, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost estimates include:
- Uncontested custody cases: Legal fees may range from $1,500 to $5,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the paperwork and any negotiations.
- Contested custody cases: Legal fees can range from $5,000 to $40,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the issues, the need for expert testimony, and the time spent in litigation.
- Hourly rates: Lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, with higher rates for more experienced attorneys or complex custody disputes.
- Mediation services: If both parents agree to work through mediation, costs typically range from $1,000 to $5,000 or more for the mediation process.
Always ask for a clear cost estimate during your consultation to ensure that you understand the total legal fees and payment structure.
Top Questions to Ask a Child Custody Lawyer
Before hiring a child custody lawyer, it’s essential to ask the right questions to ensure they are the best fit for your case. Some key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with child custody cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, especially if your case involves complex issues like domestic violence, relocation, or paternity disputes. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees for certain services, or requires a retainer, and ask for an estimate of the total cost. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and expected outcomes. -
How long will the process take?
Inquire about the expected timeline from filing the petition to reaching an agreement or going to trial. -
Will you personally handle my case?
Ensure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court. -
Can we pursue mediation or alternative dispute resolution?
Ask whether the lawyer recommends mediation or other forms of dispute resolution to avoid a lengthy court battle.
How to Check the Credibility of a Child Custody Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable child custody lawyer, follow these 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 and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for family law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in family law and child custody cases.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge the lawyer’s professionalism and success in child custody matters.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on custody cases.
- Check for certifications: Look for lawyers who are board-certified in family law or have memberships in organizations like the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) or local family law sections.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a child custody lawyer, come prepared with relevant documents and information:
- Court orders or existing custody agreements: Bring copies of any existing custody or visitation orders for the lawyer to review.
- Communication with the other parent: Provide copies of emails, texts, or letters regarding custody, visitation, or disputes.
- List of your child’s needs: Prepare a list of your child’s specific needs, such as medical care, education, and extracurricular activities.
- Timeline of the case: Outline key events related to your custody case, including changes in living situations or parental involvement.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions about the custody process, legal fees, and the lawyer’s strategy for your case.
By being well-prepared, you can help the lawyer assess your situation effectively and receive the best possible advice for protecting your rights and your child’s well-being.
