John Gemelli represented me in my extremely difficult divorce. Over the three years that it took he always took every call, was completely available when not in court and is the most brilliant legal mind you can have on your side. Hire him. Hire his partners. They are excellence personified and will get you through all the hard times pertaining to your case. I can not express my gratitude enough that he exists as a divorce attorney, for how well he handled my case.

I started the divorce process with another lawyer. I was very unhappy with his service. I was referred to John Gemelli. I am so glad that I made the change. John was excellent. Josephine was the main attorney on my case. Josephine is a star. My divorce was a long arduous process due to a business appraisal. Josephine was always extremely responsive, honest and gave me tough love when I needed it. I am very happy with the deal that we made. I’d recommend Josephine Marino, John Gemelli and the entire staff to anyone in need of divorce attorneys, you will be in great hands! Thank you!

I am very pleased with the service received from Attorney Michael Carey! He and his staff were very attentive to me. They immediately addressed my concerns. They were in constant contact with me to assure me that they were working on my case.
Carey Law Office is an amazing establishment. Warm personalities with experience and compassion. I would strongly recommend anyone to Michael Carey. You will get great service with a great smile.
Thank you, Michael. Thank your staff. You all are amazing. Blessings to you.

I’ve known Mike for a long time. He’s a great lawyer and a wonderful person. This morning, I was in magistrate court to support a friend, who was represented by a public defender. We asked Mike to check the status of the case, and without hesitation, he jumped right in to represent my friend. As a result of Mike’s zealous representation, good name, and can do attitude, my friend’s case was dismissed! We’re so grateful for Mike’s help.

I had a friend who changed his life, but was facing several charges from 10 years ago. Mr. Cary happened to be passing my friend in magistrate court and agreed to help him. He dropped everything to represent my friend, and after reviewing the file for 5 minutes, was able to bring a motion before the magistrate and got the charges dismissed. He was very personable and easy to talk with. I highly recommend him!

Proud to say that I just became a US citizen last month thanks to Erika and her team!! 👏🏼👏🏼🥳
My experience having Erika Portillo and her team as my immigration attorney for the past 10 years has been phenomenal! From the very start of my case she has ALWAYS been upfront and honest with me about my case which made the whole process much less stressful for me. Erika will ALWAYS go above and beyond her expertise to help her clients as best as she can!
I was able to petition my mother and she also just became a US Citizen two weeks ago! The only reason why I took the 10 years to apply for our citizenship was because I personally decided to wait until my Green card almost expired to apply for our Citizenship. I know I should have applied sooner but with three young children, my studies, and work, I got so busy in my “mom life” that I didn’t realize how fast time had gone by. The good thing is that as soon as Erika filed both my mother’s and my N-400 application in December, by February we had already received our appointment letter in the mail for our citizenship exam! After passing the exam, we received our Oath ceremony appointment for citizenship in the SF location just three months after! We are so happy and relieved that we no longer have to worry about our immigration status and most importantly that the process was smooth because we didn’t have to stress about receiving bad service or looking around for new attorneys because Erika took good care of us every step of the way. 🙏🏼
I mean this from the bottom of my heart because I’ve heard so many unfortunate situations of how difficult it is for our people to find a good lawyer who doesn’t charge them every time they show up to their office, or charge them tons of dollars upfront to take the case and then they take forever to respond or get a hold of. This is not the case with Erika Portillo!
With that said, I will say that it’s 100% worth your time and money to schedule a consultation with Erika to see if you have a good case. She will not lie to you nor waste your time and money like some attorney tend to. I actually just referred her services to a friend of mine who was asking for an immigration attorney for her brother in law. So I’m confident that if her family takes my referral, they will be in good hands.
*FYI: Both Erika and her front desk receptionists are all Spanish and English speaking so communicating with them and getting answers about your case is very easy as well. They were always ready to assist us with a nice smile on their faces.
What I love the most about having Erika as an immigration attorney is that she continues to educate herself. She stays on top of all the new laws and that’s what allows her to provide such clear and accurate services. I couldn’t imagine her being able to branch off and now having her own team if she wasn’t this great! That speaks volumes! A big congratulations to her again for that because she’s a very hard working woman who deserves such success, respect, and your trust!

I had a case where I was electrocuted and for 10months VZ worked on my case of course looking to take care of me appropriately based on the nature of the case. Once they found out I was on probation for a crime I had not committed but got railroaded, they first said we can’t represent you because of the nature of your case. I was like, WHAT? We have a working case and now 10months later the partners decide they don’t want to represent me anymore because of my probation???? What the heck does that even have to do with me getting what’s owed to me because I was electrocuted? They gave me some pocket change and took there money like I was an old appliance. Now I could have said no I’ll try and find another law firm but law firms don’t like to take cases that other law firms backed up on. I don’t recommend this law firm to anyone. Especially if you have a record.

I am incredibly satisfied with the service provided by Solomon Immigration Law. They are always on top of things—meticulous, organized, and consistently reliable. Whenever I send a package, they promptly acknowledge receipt, even on weekends, which gives me great peace of mind. Allison, my paralegal, was exceptionally thorough, making sure every detail was covered. Their dedication and attention to detail are truly amazing. I highly recommend Solomon Immigration Law for their outstanding service!

I had an outstanding experience, and I can’t recommend them enough! Jessica was exceptional—her communication skills are were exactly what I needed while navigating a stressful time. They demonstrated impeccable attention to detail, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. Which is something I was worried about because you never know!
Jessica's dedication and professionalism truly set them apart from the beginning. If you’re looking for a law firm that prioritizes client care and delivers results, and will truly work until the job is done no matter how late on a Friday it is before a holiday weekend, this is the firm for you.

I can’t say enough about Vik Vij. He represented me as my court appointed lawyer and right off the bat I knew he takes his cases seriously. He told me things were going to go and they went exactly that way and got my case dismissed. Great lawyer and an even better human. I’m definitely keeping his info in case I need representation in the future.

They are horrible from start to finish. They made careless errors. For the silly typos, I want to ensure that the following points are noted: There were incorrect data entries regarding my child's date of birth. Despite my efforts to have this corrected, the issue was not addressed. Additionally, there were instances of incorrect billings and overbilling. They charged me over $600 for just a seat in an office, but when I arrived for a meeting, it was already canceled. Additionally, they pressured me to leave my recently started job to attend a mediation that was also canceled, and then they charged me for it. During the mediation, the attorney arrived late and even charged me for the time she spent texting me about her delay. Additionally, there was a breach of client confidentiality. When I raised these issues with Fritznie, they were not resolved, and it was confirmed that my rights were violated. As a result, I terminated their services, but they immediately placed a lien on the marital household and charged me for firing them. My advice is to avoid hiring them unless you have $19K to spare. They unnecessarily complicated my divorce proceedings and inflated the billable hours by filing frivolous documents.

Immigration attorneys are a dime a dozen but if you’re looking for quality work, an attorney who is patient, understanding and most importantly knowledgeable then you should give Jude Law a call. You’ll meet an immigration attorney who genuinely cares AND does amazing work. Attorney Jude and her team goes above and beyond and gets the job done. The immigration process can be confusing but she ensures that you are aware of and understand all of your options in order for you to make an informed decision.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this firm and Attorney Martin Scheller. He went above and beyond my expectations and was able to take on my case with very little notice (were talking like 2 weeks before court). Not only was he professional, he told me what I didn't want to hear and kept brutally honest with me, which I needed and appreciated. He was able to WIN my case and more! His office staff was amazing and always available which kept me at ease through my processes as well which was much needed! I highly recommend and will use again, but hopefully I wont need to. Worth EVERY PENNY (also reasonable fees)! Great experience all around. Thank you Martin!

On 06/18/2022 , my life changed. After I was released from the police station the following day I felt alone, embarrassed, remorseful, hopeless, empty, sad and clueless as to how I was going to face my new reality. That day I was taught a big lesson that I will never forget. As a kid my father told me that two of the most important dates in someone’s life are, when you are born and when you find out what you were born to do. My dream and goal in life was to be a public servant as a firefighter/medic; thus, I always tried my best to maintain a clean record and contribute to my community. I achieved my dream and served my community proud, but that dream was short lived. For the last two years my life has been on stand by and every time I hear a siren on the street my heart shatters. From the moment I first spoke with you Mr. Levin I knew I had chosen the right attorney with the right team; you and Jon and all your staff gave me hope during a time of uncertainty. I will never be able to thank you all enough for how hard you fought for me. Today, my life has changed again but in a different way. Thank you again for fighting for me so that I can get my life back as well as fighting for me dream to become a firefighter again, it is people like you that motivate me to be the best version of myself. I will write a review for you all and with my hand on my heart I thank you again.

The anxiety of going through a DWI process is almost unbearable and embarrassing. Jason Reece was referred to me from another reputable attorney and I am grateful that he became my counsel. The process was exceptional from start to finish and he got right to work after my initial phone consultation. Between him and his office I was regularly informed, and they were quick in response to all emails and phone calls. Although it is important to be prepared for worst case scenario and the high probability of conviction rate in these cases, he thoroughly reviewed my file and developed a defense. At trial he found many inconsistencies with the state's case and filed multiple motions. He was patient then went after the state like a "rabid dog" is what I called him. The case was ultimately dismissed, and I could not be more pleased. Jason knows his craft and is one of the most intelligent individuals I have ever met. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you for providing me with the best counsel I could have ever imagined.

What a Child Support Lawyer Can Do for You
A child support lawyer specializes in legal issues related to the financial support that one parent provides to another for the upbringing of their children. These lawyers assist with establishing, enforcing, and modifying child support orders, ensuring that the financial needs of the child are met, including housing, food, healthcare, education, and other essentials. A child support lawyer can also represent parents in disputes over the amount of support, ensure fair calculations based on income, and handle legal proceedings if one parent fails to meet their obligations.
Whether you're seeking to establish child support, modify an existing order, or enforce payments, a child support lawyer can help you navigate the legal system and protect your rights and the well-being of your child.
When Should I Hire a Child Support Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a child support lawyer when you need assistance with any of the following child support matters:
- Establishing child support: If you are going through a divorce or separation and need to establish a child support order, a lawyer can help ensure that the support amount is fair and accurately calculated.
- Modifying child support orders: If there has been a significant change in circumstances, such as a job loss, income change, or a child's financial needs, a lawyer can help you request a modification to the existing child support order.
- Enforcing child support payments: If the other parent has failed to make court-ordered child support payments, a lawyer can help enforce the order through legal means such as wage garnishment, property liens, or even legal action.
- Disputing child support calculations: If you believe the child support amount has been incorrectly calculated based on your income or expenses, a lawyer can help you challenge the calculation and seek a fair adjustment.
- Paternity disputes: If paternity needs to be established before child support can be ordered, a lawyer can assist with DNA testing and legal proceedings.
- Interstate child support cases: If the parents live in different states, navigating child support laws can be complex. A lawyer can help ensure the proper jurisdiction is established and that child support is enforced across state lines.
- Child support during custody disputes: If child custody and child support are being determined simultaneously, a lawyer can help ensure that both issues are resolved fairly and in the best interest of the child.
Hiring a lawyer early can help ensure that your child support case is handled effectively and that your child's financial needs are met.
What Does a Child Support Lawyer Do?
A child support lawyer provides a variety of legal services to help parents secure, modify, and enforce child support arrangements. Their responsibilities often include:
- Filing for child support: A lawyer can help you initiate the legal process to obtain a child support order, ensuring that all necessary documentation is submitted and deadlines are met.
- Calculating child support: A lawyer can help ensure that child support is calculated fairly based on both parents' incomes, the needs of the child, and other factors such as healthcare and education costs.
- Negotiating child support agreements: If both parents are willing to negotiate, a lawyer can help facilitate an agreement on child support outside of court, which can then be approved by a judge.
- Representing you in court: If negotiations fail or the other parent contests the child support amount, a lawyer will represent you in family court, presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
- Modifying support orders: A lawyer can help you file a request for modification if circumstances change, such as a loss of income or an increase in the child’s financial needs.
- Enforcing child support: If the other parent is not making court-ordered payments, a lawyer can take legal steps to enforce the order through wage garnishment, property liens, or other measures.
- Handling complex cases: In cases involving high incomes, self-employment, or complicated financial situations, a lawyer can help ensure that all relevant factors are considered in determining child support.
How Are Child Support Lawyers Paid?
Child support lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work required. Common payment methods include:
- Hourly rate: Most child support 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 will depend on how much time the lawyer spends on your case, including preparation, negotiations, and court appearances.
- Flat fee: For more straightforward cases, such as uncontested child support agreements or basic modifications, some lawyers may offer a flat fee that covers all services related to the case.
- Retainer: Many lawyers require a retainer, which is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on your case. The amount of the retainer depends on the expected complexity of the case.
- Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some lawyers offer sliding scale fees based on income or provide pro bono (free) services in cases where clients cannot afford to pay full legal fees, especially when children’s needs are at stake.
It’s important to discuss fees with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will be charged and what services are covered.
How Much Does a Child Support Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a child support lawyer varies depending on the complexity of the case, whether it's contested or uncontested, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost estimates include:
- Uncontested child support cases: Legal fees may range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the complexity of the paperwork and the lawyer’s fees.
- Contested child support cases: Legal fees can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more, especially if the case involves significant court time.
- Hourly rates: Lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour for child support cases, with higher rates for more experienced attorneys or cases that involve complex financial issues.
- Modification or enforcement: Fees for modifying or enforcing a child support order may range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the complexity and the need for court intervention.
Always ask for a detailed cost estimate during your consultation so you can plan your budget accordingly.
Top Questions to Ask a Child Support Lawyer
Before hiring a child support lawyer, it’s important to ask questions to ensure they are the right fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with child support cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it’s establishing, modifying, or enforcing child support orders. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees, or requires a retainer, and ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and any potential challenges you may face. -
How long will the process take?
Child support cases can take time, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what factors may cause delays. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court. -
What documents should I prepare?
Ask the lawyer what financial documents and other information you should bring to help them calculate child support and build your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Child Support Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable child support lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- 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 have successfully handled child support cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on child support matters.
- Check for certifications: Some lawyers may have certifications in family law or membership in organizations like the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), which can indicate their expertise in child support and family law issues.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a child support lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Income documents: Bring pay stubs, tax returns, W-2s, or any other documentation of your income and the other parent’s income, as this will be used to calculate child support.
- Existing child support orders: If there are any existing child support or custody orders, bring copies for the lawyer to review.
- Child-related expenses: Provide documentation of your child’s medical bills, education expenses, daycare costs, and any other expenses that should be factored into the child support calculation.
- Communication with the other parent: Bring any communication between you and the other parent regarding child support, whether through emails, text messages, or written agreements.
- List of questions: Prepare a list of questions about your case, the legal process, and the lawyer’s fees.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice on how to proceed.
