I’ve dealt with another legal entity before I met and hired Shari’s services, and the speed by which she was able to deliver me peace of mind, and resolved my case was truly astonishing!!
I quickly acknowledged her expertise, attention to details, and her need to address my (her clients’) needs and knew I could trust her judgement and delicate care with my case!
She helped me during one of my lowest and darkest times, and I could not thank her enough or recommend her enough. Truly!!

Shari was nothing short of extraordinary. She treated my case with compassion and genuinely wanted to help me with my divorce. She was eager to listen and showed a true interest while always responding in an extremely timely manner. I found her to be very knowledgeable and trustworthy. I cant say enough good things - honest, reliable, professional, and gets the job done in the very best way.

I don't even know where to begin. Greg and Hope have been the greatest of help. They helped me with one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make!

He was honest and i mean honest he doesn't sugar coat anything, straight forward and definitely knew what the court would do/not do. That is what you want in an Attorney!

I have had the pleasure to work with Greg Whitten on family, civil, and criminal cases, for over ten years, in one instance on a tough liability issue we obtained a large recovery for each of our clients. Greg is reasonable, ethical, and tough. Solid co-counsel or a formidable opponent he represents his clients well and never quits when a case gets tough.

I cannot begin to explain how pleased I am with Brian! He was very readily available and sufficient whenever my situation was laid out on the table almost 7 months ago. At a time where I didn't know what direction to look or turn Brian took initiative in leading me the correct way. I highly HIGHLY reccomend him to everyone and anyone who is in the need of lawful guidance. To this day, even after my case has been closed for several months now he still has open arms for and questions or concerns I may have.

I found ONE!! I found an honest Lawyer. He not only returns phone calls but he is also available to update his client on the status of the case. Brian handled a personal injury for me and my five. I was extremely satisfied with the way Brian worked.
The lawyer is Brian Putnam with his office on N.W. 63 St, in OKC. He doesn’t rob you when the time comes to settle up at the conclusion of the case. I have used a lot of lawyers over the years and Attorney Brian Putnam is the best.
Need a lawyer? Call Brian Putnam!

My son was in some really questionable situations with his Dad. I found Rob quickly on google and made a panic call. He called me back, talked to me for an hour or so to get a feel for my case, and we set an appointment. I was immediately impressed by him. My case was tricky, but Rob calmed my anxious mind time and time again. He never made me feel like I was a burden. I never felt taken advantage of by him and he was sensitive to my financial situation. He went the extra mile by hiring outside help when needed, and we were able to keep my son out of further harms way. He was always honest with how certain situations might play out in court. He didn’t encourage revenge or unnecessary actions that might’ve made him money. His knowledge and experience and contacts really played a huge role. I am so grateful to Rob and the hard work he put in for my family. He is worth every penny and I will always recommend him to anyone.
His office staff was always top notch as well. Anytime I spoke with Kim, she was kind, and professional and prompt.

Rob represented me during my divorce - has counseled me several times over the years with many different issues and through it all has maintained a sense of compassion and fairness. I would (and have) recommend(ed) Rob to anyone who wants an honest attorney who will give you advice on how to save money and time - he isn’t the attorney for you if your only desire is to punish your ex - or take your kids back no matter the cost. He is the attorney if you want to know what the judge would say - if you want to know the worst and best case - and if you don’t want to feel manipulated and like you just spent your last penny. I can’t say enough about him - hire rob!!

First I need to say who I am to give what I have to say any value.
I am a Christian, Father, Marine Veteran, and a Nurse in my Mid 30's.
My mistake with Robert is that at first, I only used him for consultation when I should have had him represent me from the beginning . I thought I was smart and I could do this on my own. I was wrong and at the first court hearing it cost me both custody of my son and financially with child support.
After that I knew I needed to put it all on the table, barrow money, take out a loan. I did what ever it took to have Robert represent me and try to get my son back.
Two things need to be mentioned. First is you wont find cheaper out there for his 30 plus years skill set. Second is Robert is a lawyer, Not a banker.
When I say Not a banker, Robert had many opportunities to let things go in a direction that would of benefited him greatly with lawyer fees but he didn't.
Robert not only represented me, he also represented my financial well being. He directed my case so that most of the fees fell on opposing party. Luckily my ex hired a banker and not a lawyer and was happy to run up her charges.
Not only that, I kept a detailed log of all the text, email, phone calls, meetings etc I had with Robert and every time he well undercharged me.
A few times I wanted the case to go in a direction that I thought was best, I was wronged and I wanted justice. Robert respectfully advised that some things will cost you more than they are worth. Once again looking out for my well being when I was blinded by hurt and could not see a clear path.
Robert is reliable, accurate, and fast. Every time Robert had gotten back to me within the Hour or at the most same day. He also knows how to put the pressure on opposing party and get results fast.
At the end of my case. Robert not only got me my son back, I got everything and didn't have to pay child support. Way more than I thought that I would get.
I told him that his Humanity was greater than many than I have seen in my life so far and this is true when someone takes less and does more to help a complete stranger.
And what really impressed me was that not only did he help my case in the moment, he made sure that the agreed ruling would protect my son and I for the future. That's why I say Robert does not just represent you, he represents your well being.
There are not words that I could say or write that could show how grateful I am that you helped get my son back.
Thank you so much Robert.

Attorney Miller was prompt with all phases of my case. I also got the right, just, and favorable outcome from my case thanks in part to her experience. If you have any family law issue (I had several ranging from elderly care, child care, estate questions, death, and divorce), I highly recommend using Attorney Miller. She fought for my case in court and she wasn't afraid to take the case to trial. I had answers to all questions rapidly. 7 different lives were made better thanks to her help with my family law issues. SEVEN people benefited from her assistance in my case.

Melissa was very professional in my divorce proceedings. She filed all paperwork required and only had me come into the office if necessary. She was able to keep it out of court. She was very informative on the steps we needed to take and let me know what usually happens next. I would highly recommend her services.

Kay represented me during a very long divorce process as well as in multiple post-divorce hearings that arose. She is extremely competent, and took time to explain how things worked and prepared me for what to expect throughout the entire process. I could always count on her to respond quickly when I had urgent questions or needed direction and had 100% confidence in her counsel. She was forthcoming in what to expect and I was very pleased with the outcomes in multiple cases. The thing that really stood out to me in the five years we worked together was how much she genuinely cared about my case and my children and how she worked very hard to represent our best interest at every turn. I highly recommend her and can't imagine going through those 5 years without her being my voice and representing me.

Ms. Church has handled several matters for me, my family and some of my friends. I've seen her in court in a child custody case (she won), in a child support case (she won), and in a collections case (she won). She is always professional and clearly explains your options and her plan of attack. I've seen her during negotiations where she was firm, aggressive, and took the lead. I've used other attorneys, but Ms. Church is heads and shoulders above any other. I've referred her to friends who have also had great experiences with her. She is THE BEST!

I came to Julianne with limited knowledge on how the Family Court system works after having a less-than-stellar experience with another attorney. From the first email/phone call to the final hearing, I was comfortable, secure, and certain that she had the experience and knowledge to get me from point A to point B. Every question was answered, no matter how insignificant, and always in a timely manner. She, and her staff, made sure that I was well aware of every step that was taken and that I understood every step along the way. I could not have asked for better representation.

Julianne Stokes was very knowledgeable about how to best handle different aspects of a separation agreement and a divorce but also had reliable recommendations of other professionals for further opinions in different fields. The way the entire process was handled on a business and personal level was of the highest integrity and compassion.

My particular case involved a child custody agreement, which normally is not an experience that I image anyone wishes to go through and I certainly was not looking forward to. However, as the title attempts to summarize based on my personal experience with Mr. Vitetta, these are the qualities that were most important to me. Above all, he responded nearly immediately to every email or call and kept me up-to-date with everything involving my case and explained everything in a way that I could understand. When presenting options, he was honest and straight forward, but maintained to keep my best interest in mind. Fees were very fair and at the conclusion of our matter, the result worked in everyone's favor. My children and I could not be happier. If you're searching for a no "BS" attorney that will devote the necessary time and attention to you and your legal issues, you can count on Mr. Vitetta.

Not only a great attorney but a straightforward honest person. I spoke with two other attorneys before hiring Guy. This was definitely the right fit for me. Someone that recommends reasonable choices versus choices that lead to contention and long drawn out litigation that only serves the attorneys not the people involve.

From the first time I spoke with Hannah I knew she would help me through my divorce in the best way possible. She spoke to me professionally and gave me advice and the direction I needed. Getting divorced was so overwhelming to me and as soon as I hired her I felt a weight lifted off of me. When questions or concerns of my divorce would arise she let me know how to handle it and what steps to take. She was very organized, efficient, caring and considerate. I can't thank her enough for everything she did for me.

Had the pleasure of working with hannah in my high conflict child custody case and she made the whole situation a lot less stressful for me. It was important to me to have a female lawyer and I found Hannah. Not only is she an excellent lawyer in helping you get exactly what you want and need, she is also very understanding and a great listener which I really appreciated because it was such an emotional case. I will definitely recommend Hannah to anyone in my life who ever needs a child custody lawyer and I highly highly recommend her to anyone else as well.

Keith came highly recommended from a friend whose husband serves as a Judge and who spoke highly of Keith's reputation for doing what is fair and just for the children of divorce. He served as the lead attorney on my divorce case and did the initial consultation with me. Keith managed to put me at ease despite the obvious emotional distress I was under, and although I ended up working with an associate at his firm, he remained involved in my case, offering his nearly encyclopedic knowledge of family law as needed. I am so grateful to have had him in my corner during this difficult time in my life, and can't say enough about him and his entire firm.

Trusler really does offer a better divorce experience. After 30 years, we agreed to part ways and were able to compromise on the details with Trusler's online tools. The fees were reasonable and we just followed their format and worked through the issues, consulting our paralegal as needed along the way. I highly recommend their services for 2 adults who agree to part ways,

I HIGHLY recommend Cristi Trusler for family law, particularly custody cases. Cristi, along with her phenomenal paralegal worked countless months/hours and put forth everything they had to ensure that all of the facts were conveyed in court. We had many obstacles to overcome where the county our case was held. Cristi and her team did absolutely everything they could to speed up the process and keep a fire underneath their feet to move the needle. The end result was we WON custody of my little girl! Anyone who has had a case in Texas and you are a father wanting the best for your children - you know the struggles and chances of going before a court and presenting your case and winning...not very good odds. Well, we did it! Now my little girl is in a safe and way more stable environment than ever before. I and my wife cannot be more grateful for the huge blessing Cristi and her paralegal have been in this case. Cristi, if you see this review I want to again thank you so much for being a great advocate for my little girl. And for everyone else, take my word for it - you will not be disappointed.

I imagine divorce can be a scary and confusing time for most people. As for me, I am also one to live my life in denial. Cristi was able to manage my fear, confusion, and denial and hold my had through this difficult time in my life and my children's lives. I can't imaging anyone I'd like to guide me through this crazy process more than Cristi and her paralegals over at Trusler.

I cannot say enough about how happy I am to have had Barbara in my corner. I consulted with two other attorneys before I found Barbara, and neither one of them could definitively answer the questions I had that related to the special circumstances involved in my case. She truly listened to me and not only did she know exactly how to proceed, she made things happen quickly and easily. She is quick to respond to phone calls and emails, which is very refreshing. And, she also helped me keep my emotions in check so I could focus on the issues. I would highly recommend Barbara to anyone who needs assistance with child support or custody; she’ll be direct and honest and will have your back.

Romy was hired to help represent me through a heavy custody battle. As a father, in the state of Indiana, I had already fought the uphill battle and lost with a previous attorney. However, when I met with Romy and team, it was clear we had a path to success albeit several obstabcles in the way. Romy was able to guide me and my family through the process with thought, care and determination. I literally thought there was no hope, but instead, Romy was able to dictate the pace of everything, manage accordingly and quite literally destroy the competition. The balance of which was a decision from the bench, which I might add, is rather unheard of in custody cases. In that same vein, Romy was able to secure my daughters safety through full legal and primarr physical custody awarded to me, Dad.
If it were for Romy, my daughters safety would be in question on a daily basis, but instead, we can rest easy. This is all thanks to Romy.
With all that said, if you need a lawyer who will fight, truly fight, and not give just lip service. This is your guy.
Romy and his team are some of the finest, most professional folks I have ever met. They are in all aspects of their practice, above reproach.

I met Mr. Elswerky when I hired him to expunge an arrest record for my son. I was very angry that police arrested my son for no arrestable reason. He was visiting a fraternity brother when police knocked on the door. His frat brother refused to answer on the grounds that police didn't have a warrant, which is his right. One police officer stayed at the front door while the other went and got a warrant. Frat brother opened the door and everyone inside was arrested. There were several young men in the apartment. Prosecutor didn't prosecute b/c there was nothing to prosecute, but my son ended up with an arrest record. I suppose the warrant could have been appealed, but when prosecutor didn't move forward we thought it best just to seek expungement. Needless to say I am still angry at the police conduct and can only hope for karma for them and their families. Anyway, back to Mr. Elswerky, who filed the proper paperwork, set up a hearing for expungement. My son and I met him at the courthouse to attend the hearing. We waited approximately 2 hours for the judge and prosecutor to start, as the prosecutor was busy with another case in another courtroom. In those 2 hours we go to know more of Mr. Elswerky. He explained what was going to happen in the courtroom and my son's future concerning the expungement. When all this happened my son was a sophomore on college. He is going to graduate next month and then off to med school. I hope this review helps those in need of a criminal lawyer. I also hope we will never need Mr. Elswerky, but just in case, I would definitely hire again.

When i first met with Lori, she encouraged me to get consults from other attorney's before i made my decision. I respect that because I did not feel forced into making a life changing decision. Lori was very knowledgeable and honest about my case. She was very responsive to my emails and phone calls. There were times when I let my emotions get the best of me and Lori handled them professionally. At the end, Lori turned out to be the perfect choice, helping me walk away with a fair settlement. I think the best thing about Lori, was that she was the only attorney. You do not have to worry about someone else handling your case. There is no doubt in my mind that Lori will be my first choice for now on.

I engaged Ms Hoddy to represent me in an uncontested divorce. Even though it was uncontested there were a lot of details to consider due to it being a 20 year marriage with a minor child and a business. I found her to be both extremely personable and highly professional with a significant amount of related experience. She was able to clearly and concisely cover the legal aspects but also pointed out some very important personal considerations I would not have thought about. When going through a divorce I feel it is very important to receive solid legal advice from a highly experienced professional but at the same time have this discussed in a friendly and comfortable manner. Ms Hoddy was amazing at how easily she did both. I was highly impressed and would quickly refer her to anyone that could use her services.

I was referred to Lori by another attorney who stated that Lori is the right attorney for my case. My case was regarding alimony for a CA considered long term marriage that I failed to obtain any relief in past court appearances. At our first consultation, Lori was very realistic and explained to me possible outcomes, obviously not miracles. I really was impressed with her professionalism and straight forward opinion based on her experience. After her putting the case together, my long awaited court day finally came, and Lori presented the case. in my view the case totally went in my favor with a court decision that was fair with an end date for my alimony support. (Woohoo!) Lori is a "top notch" lawyer, specifically as she represented me in my alimony case, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who may have a family legal case. Thank you Lori !

I have been in a complex child custody battle court case for over 14 years. When I met Channe, She listened to me and immediately devised a plan using her expert knowledge, analytical skills, experience, and passion, so I retained her services. Channe helped me get justice. I admire her responsiveness, composure, honesty, and excellent communication skills. She was very sensitive and helpful when speaking with my child and helped convey the truth. Channe’s paralegal and office staff are very helpful, respond quickly, and have excellent customer service.

I hired Channe in the tenth hour just before my evidentiary hearing on custody, visitation, and child support. My prior attorney disappeared, and given the circumstances I couldn't push out the hearing and go with the date I had, only a week away. I met with multiple attorneys, but because I had already been paying for an attorney I was low on funds. I couldn't afford many attorneys' retainers (some asked for $10k-$20k), but Channe's was much more affordable.
Channe really went to bat for me and represented me better than I could have imagined. My children are now safe and thriving under the new schedule and I'm receiving more child support than I was previously told I would because she found funds my ex was hiding. Although there was very little time between when I retained her and my hearing, she and her staff were very responsive to my questions and guided me through the process. If I need a family law attorney again, Channe will be my first call.

We are beyond grateful for Samantha and her ability to be an advocate for children in need. Thank you so much for all you do!

I highly recommend Patrick Kelley Family Law to anyone going through family legal matters. I called and spoke to his paralegal who was very friendly on the phone and pointed me in the right direction. I made an appointment with Patrick and he was very professional and caring. I never felt like I was just one of his clients but a real person going through a real event in my life that mattered to him as well. I was in a child custody case and he was very organized in getting all documents together and creating a great case for me. I personally had an out of state case and everything was done over the phone and email. Anytime I had a question or concern he was always available to speak to me or called me back within the same day. When going to court he knew all the right questions to ask and was prepared for the trial with no surprises. I feel like he was not only my lawyer but a part of my family. He always had a personal touch to our conversations to ask how everyone in the family was doing and was honest and true. If you need an attorney who cares for your matter and not just your money, I would highly highly recommend Patrick Kelley!!

To set the stage, I'm a father in CA who won custody of my two daughters. This is not normal, but with Marie it can. When you're going through the legal process it is not only the other side you deal with but your unfamiliarity with the system can draw up all kinds of emotions & stress. That all went away when you're working with a talented, thoughtful and seasoned professional like Marie. Every step of the way the vision was met and I didn't think, I knew Marie realized what was at stake...it wasn't me, it wasn't another win for her, it was the future of two amazing girls who needed to be in a significantly better, less toxic situation.
I refuse to make the typical lawyer jokes anymore because someone like Marie exists and would hate for that stereotype to fall on such a tremendous attorney and person. I heard the horror stories of lawyers just taking cases on for retainers and fees, I've felt the frustration of the system, and know the strain court can put on your finances, however if you're looking to put your trust towards producing the best outcome possible given any situation I hope this review helps guide you towards hiring Marie Braun, simply the best.

My partner and I hired Marie Braun to help him through his divorce. It had stalled after three years of separation and seemed no end was in sight. Ms. Braun was wonderful in keeping perspective in our case. This was a severe alienation case and lies about payment of support. The other party did not keep any records of support payments made and filed a ridiculous claim that no support was made. Marie meticulously went through all bank records and wage garnishments and determined the OVER payment of over $15,000!
She also was able to get the court to modify a custody order to help get back to a reasonable visitation schedule.
When we felt desperate that there would be no end to this, she helped encourage us. We were truly grateful for her help in getting our case on a forward track. I would recommend her to any of my friends going through a divorce.

Katherine was my attorney for a divorce awhile back. I was very pleased with her work. She is super smart, clear and easy to communicate with. There is usually a lot of back and forth as things get hashed out in a divorce, and she was always quick to respond. I can't recommend her too highly.

Sharon helped me through a very difficult and long separation and divorce. She was honest and direct and because of her years of experience was able to advise me no matter what arose. She always returned my emails and calls in a timely manner, and was very conscientious of the fact that my time was limited and we mainly were in touch via email, saving me both time and money. She had a no nosense approach to getting the job done while still being compassionate during my difficult time. Her staff was very accomodating as well. After my divorce was finalized, I also used her for an issue that arose as backlash to the divorce. She also was my attorney for the sale of my home. I intend to retain her again to create my will or a trust for my children. I have great confidence in her abilities.

Sharon was referred to me by a good friend. After meeting with 3 other lawyers for consultations it was a breath of fresh air to meet Sharon. She simplified everything in terms I can understand. As opposed to the others who tried to impress me with their knowledge & terminology. She broke everything down for me & even comforted me when I cried. I didn't feel like I was rushed or just another $$$$. I'm more relaxed about my lousy situation, although it's far from over.

I didn’t know where to look for a lawyer that would have my best interest due to the situation I was in and was referred to Sean. I couldn’t have been happier with the candor, honesty, understanding and communication Sean and his team had with me. He is unbelievably knowledgeable and detailed. Highly recommend!!

To all in need of qualified representation in a legal battle as I was. I would recommend Mr Sean Sullivan as one of the most qualified and knowledgeable attorneys that I have ever dealt with. We were in a battle for several years and Sean knew how to defend all allegations that were thrown out there. He is a true warrior for his clients and I would tell anyone who would ask if I was satisfied with his representation I would say without a doubt. He is the man.

Not the best time in my life, surely, but Sean made the process much more gentle than I feared it might be. He was very kind, friendly to talk with, efficient in all he did for my case, and I even learned a bit about legal writing through him. Nice and smooth on this end thanks to all of Sean and his colleagues' work. Many thanks.

Sandy may handle a lot of cases as other lawyers do, but unlike those other lawyers, she will actually pay attention to and remember the details of your case. She is also really good at math and with financials. If a family lawyer isn’t good at those things, it can dramatically increase the costs of a divorce in a way that can affect you for years.

Sandi joined my divorce case a bit into the process. She got up to speed quickly and continued with that intensity through to the end. I appreciated her candor and willingness to let me navigate the financial aspects of the discovery process. I absolutely felt like part of my legal team rather than a bystander. Sandi has a great ability to see all the sides of a situation and consider them, even when they weren't in my favor. I had input in every decision.

After my marriage 3 months ago, I applied for a home loan, so that I and my wife could move to a better apartment, but I got a negative reply, which I was told was a result of my credit score. When I pulled my score it was below average. I had $12,000 student loan, some credit card debt, charge off and an eviction. PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST helped me erase all the above negative reports and boosted my score to excellent in less than 6 days. I’m recommending them to any one in need of credit assistance.

Tripp was exactly the lawyer we needed, when we needed him. The contractors on my home ripped me off, walked off the job, did a flawed job of what was completed, needless to say they did not complete the entire job. To top things off, the contractors filed a lien on my house. There were several twists and turns throughout the case. Just before trail, I went into the hospital with no direct contact/planning from Tripp. Tripp was still prepared anyway despite being limited in the decisions he could make. Within the last two days of court, the contractors brought in a new hot shot attorney from out of state. The new attorney disregarded the discovery process since he was not involved. My first expert witness was promptly dismissed. The court went into continuance. Tripp managed get to the testimony from my first expert witness anyway. In the end, the judge dismissed the contractor's case and granted me a judgement. A two-attorney team did not have skill nor court room presence to defeat Tripp’s preparation, presentation and court room presence. I have only hired a few attorneys who all have done some great things for me. Tripp is the top of the list.

All of these are things that you look for in an attorney. Tripp Estes possesses all of these traits and more. Look no further!
My husband and I made the difficult decision to let go of our attorney 2 weeks before our custody trial. We stumbled upon Tripp online and made the choice to hire him. It was the best decision we could have ever made. Tripp was the light at the end of our tunnel. Our only regret is that we didn't hire him from the very beginning.
Honesty: Our case was a very complicated one and Tripp accepted the daunting task! From the very beginning he was honest with us. There are quite a few attorneys that make a practice of giving you false hope, only to leave you distraught and completely blind-sighted with the judges verdict. Tripp is not one of these attorneys. He is going to be up front with you. You will know where you stand at all time.
He is a family man. This is very important if you want someone to fight for your family's rights. You want someone who has great morals and one who is compassionate.
Tripp is dedicated. He worked around the clock to get caught up on our case and prepare for trial.
In court Tripp was very detail oriented and organized. He knows the law and is very well respected and known in NWA.
From the very beginning until even after trial, Tripp was in constant communication. He was always able to be reached via email or phone. We even had a few incidents in which Tripp took the time to contact us over the weekend. Some attorneys will make you feel like you are completely in the dark. Tripp will never do this.
Needless to say, we were granted everything we fought for in court. Because of Tripp my husband and I are able to rest easy We won in court and so will you if you choose to hire a professional, competent attorney, such as Tripp Estes! I am confident that if you make the right choice to hire Tripp to fight for you and your family's rights he will do everything within his power to do so.
More times than not the verdict made in court will alter your life forever. This is why it is so very important to hire someone like Tripp. Do NOT make the mistake we made by waiting to hire Tripp. Make the right choice. You will not be disappointed! Thank you, Tripp! You are truly a lifesaver!

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.
