It is rare to find a lawyer with even one good review written on them on the internet, yet alone several. To have several and have them all 5 star is unheard of. It is the reason we met with her, hired her, and we have yet to be disapointed. Virgina has earned them all! She took on a VERY complex and difficult case with issues going back over 2 years. The case is still ongoing but could not be more pleased with the results so far. She really knows her stuff and goes at it with diligence. We have had 2 lawyers previously who left more than a bad taste with their extremely costly errors, lack of knowledge and plain failure to show up! Virginia has renewed our faith that there really are lawyers out there that you can trust to do the job you would expect them too. You will NOT be diappointed in her representation of you!

Virginia is the kind of attorney that will get things done in timely and respectful manners. She tells a client why she takes a certain approach and keeps clients up to date with changes and info. She is a fantastic attorney as far as knowing her way around the law and facts and combining that knowledge with tact. She was a word of mouth local area referral that turned out to be a true blessing and affordable. A client definitely gets their monies worth. Virgina does her home work to stay sharp in the practice of law. I was very impressed that she will listen to her clients fully and if you are honest with her she will be honest and work best for you. I appreciated her vigor in the court room being the aggressive attorney I needed for my case. Virginia is more than competent and I'm thankful to have found her. I highly recommend her.

Mr. Roper was a great help in my legal battle. Pertaining to a restraining order that was falsely filed against me by my ex-girlfriend who I caught lying & cheating. Even had the opposing party scared enough to drop everything.
Mr. Roper even offered a military discount. I greatly recommend Mr. Roper for your issues.

A friend of mine referred me to Kurt, saying he was “the best of the best,” and he wasn’t wrong! In just a couple of months of using him for my custody case, I have learned that he is someone I can fully trust, can be depended on to get back to me in a timely manner, and give me solid and professional advice. God forbid I will need another lawyer after my custody case is closed - but if I do I know who to call. Not to mention his pricing was very reasonable!
Thank you Kurt for everything, your hard work does not go unnoticed.

Kirt has been there for me through the thick and the thin. He’s hands down the most dedicates and most understanding attorney that I’ve ever engaged with. He gets the job done with great results. The best compliment is a referral and I e sent him a few of those. Hired him, loved him and I do recommend him to anyone that I know. He’s responsive and dives right in.

Cameron, thank you for what you did for my 2 kids and I. You went above and beyond to make me feel better about the situation I was in lol; and fought hard to dig me out of it. God bless you, im happy I could sway your mind on younger parents. You fought for me for a whole year and never gave up hope and always find another way and I'm more than happy with the outcome you helped provide to me! :)
Thank you,

I recently hired Cameron Compton and her team to represent me and my situation and it was the BEST decision I made!! I was referred to her by two other attorneys that do not practice family law. Cameron was extremely timely, extremely to the point, and extremely beneficial. She cut to the chase. We came to a settlement with the other party in a short timeframe. I'm certain all cases can be complicated, but she made me feel like my case was a priority and she valued that my complications were in her interest. Her pricing is worth every penny.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CAMERON COMPTON FOR LEGAL COUNCIL IN ALL AREA OF LAW SHE PRACTICES.

Family Law. Criminal Defense. Probate / Guardianship
Thank you Cameron!

My previous experience with law firms were jaded and left you believing all the jokes about lawyers. Horn Law squashed all naysayers by their professional, quick to respond service and they did things they said they would do on time and gave updates without me having to ask. They were courteous and always represented my best interest in my case. I am very pleased with the overall customer experience Horn Law delivered.

I was going through a custody/ child support battle with my ex husband. The lawyer I had could no longer work on my case and referred me to Dana. It was very short notice but Dana stepped up and met me at our first court date. We discussed how things would go from there and she assured me that she would take care of everything. She stayed on top of the case while making sure to update me every step of the way. Due to her great diligence my case was dismissed.
Dana was excellent and i would definitely refer her to my friends and family.

From the moment I met Patrick, I knew he was the perfect attorney for me. I knew nothing about divorce or how things would work out! I feel like he had my best interest at heart & worked hard to make sure I was protected for the new future ahead. He was kind & explained everything so I could understand exactly how things would work. He was easily available every time I had questions & trust me I had lots! I would highly recommend Patrick for the decisions that sometimes have to be made for families going through difficult times.

I was impressed by Patrick Yeatts's professionalism which is important and comforting to someone who's never gone through a divorce involving such a myriad of issues. He also had a good balance of compassion to complement his professionalism, which also important for someone who was on the brink of losing everything. He was able to keep that from happening for me. I highly recommend Patrick Yeatts

I recently hired Mr. Burns to represent me in my child support/custody case . I had consulted with other local attorneys in the area before meeting with Erik . While they seemed disinterested in what I had to say , Erik immediately said he would take my case. From the very beginning , I could tell how passionate he is about what he does ! He treated me like more than just another client . He treated me like a friend or a family member. I could really tell he cared . Erik kept me informed through every step of the process and was always there to answer any questions I had . He and his secretary were always available for me whenever I called or emailed them ! Erik was extremely diligent in researching every aspect of my case to ensure he got me the best possible results . Erik fought for me and my daughter every step of the way , without fail ! Erik not only won my case for me but he got me even more than I had initially expected . If you are looking for an attorney that will fight for you and your family like he would fight for his own then Erik Burns is the attorney for you !
I promise you that you will not be disappointed !!!!

I wanted to take an opportunity to write a review for Erik Burns. He represented me in 2012 for a child custody hearing. Erik fought zealously for my rights as a parent and for my daughter, researching and working beyond the scope of his engagement. He was able to get excellent information on record, as well. I am fortunate to have had Erik as my attorney and proud to call him my friend.
Now that I am a Tulane graduate in General Legal Studies and a competent paralegal, I can intelligently comment and praise Erik in his professionalism and efforts. He wrote an amazing motion and was very thorough in his details covering the facts and enumerating the legal issues at hand before the court. Even though we lost, it wasn't because Erik wasn't awesome, didn't do his job or because he dropped the ball. It was because we had a prejudiced judge, plain and simple. And sadly, that happens, but losing does NOT deter me from confidently recommending Erik or from praising his valiant efforts. A non-biased judge would have made a different call.

Jeff protected me and my children throughout a complicated divorce. I wanted to be with my two kids at least half of their growth time. Jeff helped me secure my half-time physical custody to father by two kids. He explained my different options very clearly to me and helped me decide the best option (for both short and long terms) and the best approach drawn from his decades-long experience. He negotiated the best settlement I could hope for. Throughout the entire process, he always put my interests first instead of the billable hours. He was understanding, and showed he actually cared. Jeff had his sense of humor at times and ability to calm often tense situations, which was a savior at the heaviest time of my life.

getting a divorce, I asked another non legal professional for a a divorce attorney recommendations and he had very good things to David, so I hired him on the spot. He kept my cost down, was straight to point, returned my phones call in timely manner. explained all my options. He was very transparent with me. i was really impressed with how well he worked with opposing council. Plus, his retainer was alot less than what my ex wife had to pay, and I got better results. I never felt like David cared about billing hours just to get paid. he is not that type of lawyer. A+ i have not complaints. My divorce took 6 months start to finish, David kept us out of the court room, and we got resolution.

Stacy showed she actually cared about the outcome my custody case, she exceeded my expectations immensely by the way she handled everything and how she advised me to try for joint custody which I thought there was no way it would succeed, but I was wrong and because of Stacy my daughter is very happy and her mom and I have been coparenting peaceful, friendly and very well. I recommend Stacy Regele %100 for anybody needing help in custody case or any other matter I’m sure Stacy would show the same amazing work ethic and pure awesomeness. Thank you.

Stacy took a very stressful and certainly unfamiliar situation and explained every step in a comforting way. She was so kind and patient with me, helping me understand the processes. I could not have asked for a better person to represent me. She covered everything and even future issues I would not have known about. Seeing me in my broken state and treating me with respect and compassion the whole way through.
In the end, I walked away with everything I was asking for. Amazing result for a newly solo Father.
I have highly recommended her to so many people in the last few years (they have had the same experience and could not have felt more at ease)
that I should have earned a fast pass/discount for my next divorce.
Thank you for everything!

Leslie was honest in assessing my action items to get my case resolved. She was my second attorney that I hired and she got results in a short period.
She was concerned with my case and my well-being as a person, and the well-being of my daughter.
She was fair, honest and did what it took to push the case to completion.
Best choice for an attorney with a good bedside manner and a common sense, realistic approach.

I feel extremely fortunate to have chosen AT Debnam and the Mueller Law Firm to represent me during my recent divorce. Not only did everyone treat me with exceptional professionalism at all times, they also made me feel more of a friend and less of a client. During such a difficult emotional time this meant a great deal. They not only excel at all legal aspects, but they also understand the personal turmoil involved. It was truly appreciated. AT was just magnificent at handling my specific case. Thoroughly prepared always, of course, and wholly focused on what was best for me. One of her greatest strengths, in my opinion, was her capacity to give me strong, rational advice and then listen to me when I perhaps wanted to do something a little different. This shows that she cares about the person and their situation first and foremost. Who wouldn’t want that when going through this ordeal? This sets her apart. From the professional approach to the personal touch, I could not recommend anyone higher than AT and my entire experience with the firm as a whole was exceptional.

Anne Debnam is a smart, thorough attorney! Her paperwork and language in her documents are the absolute best! When you need a smart strategy, thorough paperwork, a person who really advocates for you - there is no one better. She is also excellent in litigation --- she was well prepared, and that created an advantage to me and my outcome.

Recently used New Hope Divorce Mediation, in particular Mindey Elgart, to handle my no contest divorce. It was a very pleasant process, given the situation, and went smoothly from the beginning to the end. After the initial meeting where we discussed all the details, we met one more time to finalize the settlement agreement. After that there was a 90 day waiting period. During all that time, Mindey and her office was very diligent at sending us all the paperwork and explaining everything step by step, when and how to properly sign and mail all the documents to the court. After the 90 day waiting period, it just took another 2 months to receive the divorce decree from the judge. I would highly recommend Mindey and New Hope Divorce Mediation to others to handle their divorce case.

I hired Lenore about 18 months ago after firing 3 other attorneys....the last of which nearly bankrupted me when he failed to file
an appeal of an outrageous child support award.
There are many attributes of Lenore that are really rare in divorce attorneys:
* non-confrontational
* high attention-to-detail
* outgoing and friendly
* reasonably rate given her high quality of service
She handled my case with high level of professionalism.
Lenore represented me at both a master's level and then a judge's level for equitable distribution.
In both cases, she was well prepared and very convincing in these hearings...especially the latter where there were nearly 10,000 pages of documentation.
She arrived at the court house with a luggage carrier holding nearly 4 FEET of documents !
Her performance was exemplary thanks to careful preparation.
When the hearing was over, we walked out of the courthouse and she gave me a big hug as we said goodbye !
Now how often does that happen ?

Having gone through a nasty custody battle, I can say with surety that two things are true:
1) Had I followed Patty's advice, which was given calmly, was clear, cogent, and was salient, I would have achieved the results I wanted.
2) I have a deep respect for Patty, for the way she works, for the transparency she shows, and for the way she was (and is) always on my side - but not afraid to tell me when I'm wrong.
Patty is intelligent, wonderful, honest, and diligent. I not only respect her, but I like her. She has good values, I could trust her, and I could run thoughts and ideas by her and count on her honest opinion. Working with someone like her made the process I went through infinitely easier. She knows what she's doing.

Patty helped me complete a Support Modification, with a historically combative former spouse. She understood exactly what I wanted and was able to take her negotiation skills to the table with him, saving me additional costly Court expenses. I was pleased with the experience- which is something rare one can write about a legal proceeding these days. I would hire her again without hesitation.

I hired Jennifer during the summer of 2015, after another divorce attorney I was working with at another firm was not working out for me. I needed a change in a big way. Jennifer came highly recommended, and not only did she live up to expectations, she far exceeded them with her vast knowledge & experience, preparation, persistence, and most of all.....patience. I was in an extremely contentious divorce at the time, and had already spent over 3 years trying to work through a divorce case and a child custody case. I credit Jennifer for taking what was at the time a case that was stagnating, and turning it completely around in my favor. I ended up with custody of my children, and obtained a divorce with terms that were excellent. When it comes to an attorney that gets the job done, and done well, I highly recommend Jennifer Garber. She is definitely who you want to represent you.

I learned of Mr. Kusnetz services after my divorces was finalized but I wish I had Mr. Kusnetz from day one. His firm has been tremendous in helping me with some of the things I didn’t original consider when my uncontested divorce was done by another firm. He has helped me with all of my post-divorce issues such as visitation with my son and my child support obligations. He is a true partner who has been there for me providing solid advice every step of the way. He has also provided me with advice on getting my house sold and brought in one of his many competent associates to further move things along. I am truly grateful for the service he has provided me and his willingness to put in the extra effort that makes me feel at ease with such a stressful situation. I would recommend him to anyone no question about it.

Phil Kusnetz is an attorney like no other. From the moment I calls his office, I knew this was the attorney for me. My case was dismissed years ago on the issue of grounds. I felt like there was no hope.
Phil explained no fault divorce and answered all questions. I was particular impressed with his confident attitude, and reassuring tone. A few months later, my case was settled and I received a significant distributed award. You will not find a better lawyer at any price.

I habpve worked with many attorneys in the past. Mr Kusnetz is first rate, straightforward, and more importantly, a highly skilled and intelligent attorney.
I have already recommended him to associates who are in need of immediate legal advice and will continue to recommend him in the future.

Last year I was involved in a case with DSS and I decided to hire Mary Lee Briggs as my attorney. The whole process extended for a year and half but she made sure to keep my mind at ease at all times. She puts herself in your shoes when she is representing you and that’s something you don’t find everywhere.
Mary Lee was very responsive and always listened and addressed all my concerns and I honestly felt like I was in great hands; she knows the law and understands all the proceedings which made me feel very comfortable and secure with her services.
She did an amazing job and the results were positive for me, I can’t thank her enough for her services, I will always be thankful for how she handled my situation.
I highly recommend Mary Lee and her team to anyone seeking legal representation that is fair and honest.

I can't thank Mary Lee enough for her support and strong ability to represent me for my divorce. I had moved from SC to Colorado and secured her while moving. Although it was a 1.5 year process, she was extremely supportive throughout the time. My ex was less than cooperative and honest during the entire process, but she kept encouraging me to hang in there until we had our time in court. She hit it out of the park when it came to the trial by addressing the issues at hand... extremely prepared and tactful. Things ended positively for me, even after a scare of a mistrial, she advocated for me. I can't thank Mary Lee enough. Divorces are never fun and there are two sides to every broken marriage, however, if you need a divorce attorney to help tell your side of the story and fight for your rights, she definitely will have your back.

I used Mrs. Briggs for a custody case throughout 2016 and 2017. Mrs. Briggs was extremely professional and efficient throughout the entire process. She always got back to me in a timely manner and kept me informed of what was going on throughout the case. She explained all the legal jargon to me, and allowed me to make decisions on the case instead of telling me what to do. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the area needing a family lawyer.

I really can't recommend Kelsea enough. She remained professional through some pretty frustrating and stressful litigation with my ex. Most of all I always felt confident that she was advocating for my wants and needs. Needless to say, going through a divorce is an emotional process but I knew that I had an ally through it all who kept in constant communication about every step and made sure that I felt heard and taken care of. Not only was Kelsea available for my every question, the front desk and other employees that worked with her handled my entire divorce process tactfully and with grace. If you want someone in your corner, I recommend her highly.

I am disabled, my husband left me, after 32 years, because he didn't want a disabled wife. I was a hot mess, when I came to Kelsea. She could have told me no, I had to switch to her, with only weeks to go. She took me on, and, because she's in an office with other attorneys, it's like you get all their advice. Kelsea asked others in her firm, more experienced, to make sure all our info was correct. She was fantastic, I was falling apart at the end, and, she hung in there with me, helped me make decisions, get it settled out of court. I was so scared of being sick and alone, no money to live, as I can't work. Kelsea made sure I got the settlement I needed, so I would be OK. I got served again by my ex last night, he wants to terminate my support, and, life insurance he has to keep, with myself as beneficiary. I sent Kelsea an email, and, I have no doubt, she'll do as fantastic a job as before!

Working with Kelsea and her firm through a custody case was an exceptional experience through a very hard time. From the first phone call, Kelsea really listened to the situation where other lawyers simply dismissed us. She jumped right into a complex and time-sensitive situation. Kelsea was responsive, thorough and insightful throughout a very long process. She not only knew the case, the law and the judge, she really got to know us and argued eloquently and tirelessly for our needs and priorities. When the judge threw curve balls in chambers, Kelsea hit home runs every time. The whole team at the firm supported each other well and were all incredibly helpful and friendly. We could not recommend Kelsea more highly.

I agree with another review. Everyone should have Whitney in their corner when going through a divorce or high conflict custody situation. She is quick with responses, prepared and strategic to ensure you have the best outcome. I would highly recommend Whitney and her firm to anyone seeking or needing legal help.

Whitney has been absolutely amazing! She is straight and to the point, well informed, a great listener, sympathetic to my MANY concerns and ALWAYS made time to answer my questions and alleviate my stresses. Our family custody case has been anything but normal, she didn't flinch at the chaos and ridiculousness from the opposing party and handled every bit of nastiness with decorum and poise. If I wasn't already a grown up I'd want to be like her when I do!!

From the first meeting I had with Whitney, I was comfortable and knew that I would be well taken care of throughout my case. There were several times I would she would contact me in the evenings and on weekends; I was kept informed every step of the way. What should have been a cut and dry case was far from, but Whitney and her team were well prepared for any and every thing that was thrown their way. I would highly recommend Whitney if you want an attorney that will work with you and be sensitive about your feelings yet firm in getting you to do the right thing.

I'm a single father who has been through countless false accusations by the mother of my child. My son's mother wanted to pass my son off as another man's that she had been dating on and off for years. She started all of the false accusations right after I had her served with court papers to see my son for the first time and be involved in his life as his father. Attorney Huddleston was in my corner every step of the way and fought hard for me and my little man. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have even had the chance to meet my son, know what he looked like, bond with him, or anything. It is because of Attorney Huddleston that my son and I were granted 50/50 joint custody time together and get to enjoy our favorite meal of tacos together! I am so grateful to Attorney Huddleston for all of his help. I have worked with some lawyers who have taken my money but then only half represented me in hopes of getting more money or flat out failed me in court costing me more money and then they have had the nerve to demand more money from me after their complete failure. It's downright unethical and immoral. Attorney Huddleston is not that kind of attorney and any money spent for his services is well worth it. He really does put his all into fighting for his clients. Even though I am still fighting in court against false accusations from the mother of my son claiming that I am molesting my son, beating him, and abusing him mentally, while she continues to refuse to bring him to pick ups and drop offs, slander me to doctors and therapists that she's set up for our son, and continues to file orders of protection (all dismissed) with her 4th one just dismissed recently, and not knowing how my son is doing or haven't seen him since October, I still hold true to faith that something will change. Having Attorney Huddleston in my corner through it all has truly been a blessing. If you need a lawyer who will go into the court fighting hard for you and for what's morally & legally right, choose Attorney Huddleston. I did and I don't regret it one bit. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Attorney Huddleston. You and your staff are amazing and may God bless you and your family these holidays!

Mr. Huddleston went above and beyond for our family. He not only did everything in his power to help us, He educated us so we knew what to expect and how to understand everything. He was very respectful and listened to all of our concerns. He became a friend during this entire process. If you need a attorney I can't recommend anyone better than Bob Huddleston. He will get the job done and not drain your pockets in the process.

I found myself in the unfortunate situation of being served a petition from one of those aggressive family lawyers. I met with Grady and hired him to defend me in this matter.
Grady took the time to fully understand the case and its nuances, and we met and discussed various legal strategies. The case took about a year to resolve due to various complicating factors including an overlapping issue in another court system that could have had corollary effects on the family case.
Throughout this time, Grady was unflappable. With his knowledge of the family law system and significant experience, Grady helped me navigate the various choices throughout the process. Additionally, Grady collaborated well with other attorneys helping to bridge the gap in styles.
His approach was very practical given his knowledge of what might work or not work depending on the circumstances. He conducted himself with a high degree of integrity and was never looking to do extra work just to over-bill me (which is oftentimes the case with divorce attorneys).
I am forever thankful for his work.

I wish to take this opportunity to endorse Mr. Lee Coppage, Esq. who was appointed by a Bronx Family Court Judge to represent me against the State of New York, and my ex-spouse. Mr. Coppage, has a great reputation in the County, and the experience and confidence that one looks for in a competent attorney. During the COVID-19 crisis Mr. Coppage, has continued working on my case. He updates me on the status of my case and is always discussing motion practice and trial strategies. Mr. Lee Coppage, is a very capable and highly intelligent attorney that doesn’t like to lose any case in Court. He comes highly recommended, and I would personally be at ease knowing that Mr. Coppage, is representing me.

Just when I thought I lost all hope Mr Coppage was assigned to my custody battle case for my son. I’ve been going against my sons mother for almost 5 years in court trying to get custody over my son who’s been under my care Mr Coppage looked at me and said be honest with me and I’ll be honest with you do everything I tell you to do and the way that you are suppose to do it and well let the judicial system handle the rest. With his assurance and dedication to my case which he place major work into I came out on top winning and being granted the custodial guardian over my son. I don’t know how to thank him enough as my son is safe, happy and well taken care of by me but none of this would of happen if Mr Coppage didn’t step in. He is an angel sent with a suit and a brief case ready to take on any case that is thrown his way thank you thank you thank you I couldn’t have been happier than I am now.

Robert Caplan is a very savvy lawyer. He kept me informed with what was going on during my case and gave me great advice. He was instrumental in getting me a favorable result. I highly recommend him.

I went through several lawyers in my custody battle before I found Bob Caplan, and the difference in representation was immediately noticeable. Bob spent countless hours fighting for both of my children, and the outcome exceeded my expectations. He was very invested in my case, didn’t make any promises that he couldn’t keep, and he genuinely cared about my family’s future. In the courtroom, he was able to accurately depict what was going on with my childrens’ mother and was able to win several cases that my ex had put against me. I have been through 3 Ohio lawyers and none of them can hold a candle to Bob’s professionalism and work ethic. He has over 20 years of experience fighting for Ohio families and it shows. I would definitely recommend Bob to anyone looking for a lawyer. He will see you through the most challenging time of your life and will be standing next to you when your problems are resolved.

I first met with Raunak when someone else was representing me in my divorce. By the end of my consultation with him, it was clear that Raunak is a breed apart from other attorneys. It is really night and day.
My divorce was so messy and my first attorney made the mess even worse instead of fixing problems. Raunak changed the whole direction of my case. It was such a breath of fresh air. I don’t know how I could have gotten through it all and kept my sanity intact if I hadn’t changed attorneys and hired Raunak to represent me.
As time went on, Raunak proved himself to be very thorough and knowledgeable. Unlike my first attorney, he wasn’t all talk. He actually got results. Raunak also repeatedly went above and beyond his obligations and proved that he was genuinely committed to me and my case. I know he has much bigger cases than mine, but he always treated my case as important. His commitment has been truly exceptional.
If you're looking for an attorney who will defend you and your rights, Raunak is the one. I can't thank him enough for everything he has done for me. He’s seriously the most amazing attorney ever and I am forever grateful!!

Anyone who has had to go to family court knows just how stressful it is. A big part of the stress is worrying whether your attorney will really help you achieve a favorable outcome. Another concern is wondering, "Will my attorney make my case a priority, or will I be just be another client that he/she can barely keep track of?" All these concerns vanished after I started working with Raunak Kothari. At every step of the way, Raunak put me at ease with his knowledge and attentiveness. Thanks to his experience, he was able to point out so many considerations that had never occurred to me. Apart from making me feel like a priority, Raunak ran circles around opposing counsel. It wasn’t even close to a fair fight. Throughout the whole process, he fought for my interests and guided me with tremendous insight. And he did all of these things with kindness and respect. At the end of the day, I was thrilled with the outcome of my case. I am so grateful that I had Raunak representing me and can’t imagine that any other lawyer could have achieved the same results. I will send my family and friends straight to him if they are ever in need of a family law attorney. He is simply phenomenal and worth every penny.

I was represented by one of the best known firms in New York City, but my case was going in circles. A friend suggested I speak with Raunak Kothari and I am so glad I did. Raunak brought clarity to my situation, quickly got my case back on track, resolved the issues my prior attorney could not and brought other issues to my attention that I had never considered.
Throughout the process, Raunak kept an unwavering focus on my priorities. Before negotiations, he explained the implications of various options, suggested alternatives, anticipated the other side’s arguments and explained the law that applied to my situation. At the four way meeting we finally had, Raunak’s experience really came to shine. He was so practical, clear and persuasive. Even the attorney on the other side could not disagree with his points.
Raunak’s calm but firm demeanor gets results. He is open, direct, sharp and responsive. In the end, he had to completely rewrite the agreement my prior attorney had started and the difference was striking. Even though his work was so much better, his fees were lower. After he resolved my case, I have continued to seek his counsel as new circumstances arise.

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.
