Whoever you decide to pick as your mentor or advocate Scott Kosner needs to be part of your due diligence process. He was knowledgeable and listened to my situation. He gave insightful guidance with specifics. Zero sales pitch in his approach and he never hurried the conversation, very refreshing! I will be using Scott as I move forward.

At the very last minute and in need of help with my case, Mr Kosner took everything head on and committed to handle my case with the best quality of true blue professional morals a man can have. I was successful with my case thanks to Mr Kosner who provided me relief and a great state of confidence knowing, that I was definitely in the right hands.

If you find yourself needing an attorney, Steven Ganim, is the attorney to choose!
Steven represented me for a Real Estate case and he didn't just represent me he educated me, respected me, and ensured I was in trusted hands. Steven's communication and follow through is impeccable. His integrity, intelligence and commitment definitely shone through. Regardless of his case load (I would have no idea but I would have to assume it is large due to his ability) you will feel as if you are his only client and his #1 priority! I highly recommend Steven and Ganim Law Group.

A Neighbor cut down my trees in Connecticut and Attorney Piedra and Christine were immensely helpful!
They were very clear with communication every step of the way and Attny Piedra even got back to me during odd hours.
I would highly recommend Attny Piedra as I could not have asked for anything to have been handled differently.
Very professional, prompt, and clear in every regard. Christine is very responsive and immensely helpful. In dealing with Christine she is very insightful and knowledgeable and was a pleasure to deal with when Attny Piedra was unavailable.
If you’re dealing with a timber trespass or someone who cut down your trees without your permission, you’ve them a call and ask for Attorney Piedra! Even if you’re out of state.

When you are going through one of the toughest times in your life, it gives you assurance to have this team on your side.
Very competent and kept on task.
Honestly, the team pushed through alot of noise, stubbornness, lack of communication, confusion and wishy washyness from the opposition.
You could make a highlight reel of critical moments where my team came through for me.They even worked down to the buzzer (that isn't hyperbole lol)
Deanna , Erica, Deborah Thank you for your everything 🙏!

My husband & I needed wills for both of us and post nuptial agreement. Eric was recommended by a friend in Richmond, TX where he represented us. It was a process due to second marriages for both of us, but Eric helped us work through the process. After completing the process, we felt a sense of relief having plans in place that we are both happy with.

My husband and I live in Sugar Land. When looking for an attorney to update our wills and create a special needs trust for our daughter, we started looking for recommendations. I got several and looked at their reviews. I couldn't choose any of them. Their reviews were horrible. One day driving to Richmond, I saw a billboard for Eric Junker Law Firm. I looked at the website and found he was known for special needs trusts. Then I saw the reviews! One of the best decisions I've ever made. Competent, professional, work done in a timely fashion, and way less costly than I had anticipated. I'm so totally relieved to have this done so I don't need to worry. Best part of all, Eric is very personable and the process was totally painless!

This team deserves way more than 5 stars.
I hardly know where to begin to express my immense gratitude for everyone at the offices of Tomasella and Vacca. Im not sure how to adequately convey my appreciation for this team. This firm genuinely cares about me and my three children.
I have been navigating a very difficult and highly contested divorce that dragged on unnecessarily for over two years. Throughout this period, I faced numerous false allegations, multiple restraining orders, and countless trials and hearings. Victoria was there for it all and knew exactly how to handle my case. I couldn't have asked for better representation, its amazing to see someone work so well in their element.
Thanks to Victoria Tomasella and her team, I was able to achieve exactly what I wanted from the divorce. Victoria Tomasella knew the nuances of my case even better than I did, making me feel as though I was her only client. She was highly professional and extremely prompt in returning all my calls and emails.
Victoria Tomasella exceeded my expectations, and for that, I am profoundly grateful. This amazing team has allowed me to move forward with my life, maintain access to my children, and ultimately achieve the outcome I was hoping for with my divorce.
I would highly recommend this firm.

Victoria Tomasella delivered on what she told me from day one, that i would get 50/50 custody of my daughters. No matter what the other side threw our way, Victoria was quick to advise me on how to respond. When it was obvious the other side was delaying the process, Victoria knew exactly how to handle them and how to make them settle and put a close to this case. I would recommend Victoria to anyone in need of her services.

Hands down, Kenny Christiansen and Mindi Bartlam are a fantastic team. Although my case was complex and trying, they fought and held my hand through every step. Kenny and Mindy are professional and knowledgeable, and they made it feel more personal and considerate of the sensitive nature of our case. Kenny and Mindi have become more than excellent representations; I dare to call them friends.

Mark has left a lasting impression on me with his exceptional qualities as a lawyer. His expertise in the field is unparalleled, and his deep understanding of the legal system proved invaluable in my sudden custody case. He navigated the complexities with remarkable skill and insight. Mark's familiarity with judges and other lawyers in the area further enhanced his ability to advocate effectively on my behalf. Not only is he highly knowledgeable, but he is also incredibly approachable and easy to work with, even in high-stress situations. Additionally, his team is exceptionally supportive and ensures that you're well cared for, even when Mark is unavailable. This is the best legal representation money can buy.

The team at J.Molina law firm was always available and ready to assist me when I needed them. I'm especially grateful for my Case manager Byron who I called panicking on the morning of my interview because I didn't have some copies of documents I had submitted. He made sure to have the documents forwarded to me and even though I ended up not needing them, what he did gave me the peace of mind I needed. They are all truly amazing and kind people and that's what you need when going through this journey.

David provided phenomenal services throughout my custody proceedings. David was available, present, and responsive with every interaction. He kept me grounded and outlined possible outcomes to manage my expectations. David provided a plan and a path for navigating the court system, gathering valuable information, and preparation for hearings. He was cost-conscious during the entire process, understood and explained the legal process, and was sympathetic to the highly sensitive family issues we were experiencing. I highly recommend David and would certainly retain his services for any future needs!

Throughout my career in real estate and construction I have worked with numerous attorneys in business and with one other divorce attorney. As the executive that managed the lawsuits for my employers I have been in court for lawsuits and claims, and continuously worked with attorneys on contractual and personnel matters. I can say without reservation that David is one of the best lawyers with whom I have ever worked.
So what makes David such a great attorney? First, most attorneys will tell you “what the Judge is going to say” (as if they are the judge). I learned early in my business career that attorneys have NO IDEA what the judge is going to say. David, while providing an opinion, did not pretend to know what the judge (or my ex-wife) was going to say and professionally presented my approach with the attitude of “try and let us see what happens,” which for me, had a good outcome.
Secondly, David was able to polish and present my thoughts and writings into a understandable and professional document (with less emotion). This was very instrumental in obtaining a good outcome. My previous divorce attorney was incapable of doing this.
Lastly, but not least, David is very efficient and considerate of billing and as a result his fees were reasonable for the service, which is always appreciated.
Before engaging David, I talked with quite a few attorneys in the Bay Area and I am happy with my decision, grateful to David for his help, and he is the ONLY divorce attorney I would recommend in the Bay Area.

David is beyond amazing!!
David's calm demeanor, prompt, straight-forward – no nonsense approach, intelligent, honest, and /experienced family law attorney does a wonderful job balancing delicate family needs and legal necessities. My complex case stalled for 1.5 years until I found David. He managed to resurrect my case and coached us through a settlement, avoiding Court with positive results in the best interest of my family; an impressive settlement that I didn't see coming. Divorce is a challenging time and David is poise and always prompt to navigate the changing tides seamlessly. When I received my final judgement, he reminded me to update my beneficiaries and ensure all loose ends were buttoned up. I have the utmost trust and confidence in David, and HIGHLY recommend David.

I had the opportunity to work with Attorney Lianna Garza Smith and her team during a challenging and extended divorce process, and I am extremely thankful for their effective and strategic support. After transitioning from another attorney, Lianna took over my case and made a significant impact with her prompt and efficient handling.
Lianna swiftly assessed the complexities of my situation and developed a clear, strategic plan. Her timely and thorough approach was crucial, particularly when we needed to address the temporary orders hearing before the final decree. She ensured that all necessary steps were taken promptly to secure interim arrangements that supported my child's well-being and stability.
A key focus of my case was child custody, and Lianna was exceptional in managing this sensitive issue. She concentrated on helping me establish protective parenting arrangements, advocating effectively to ensure a stable and secure environment for my son throughout the process.
Lianna’s extensive knowledge of family law and her strategic insight were evident from the start. She provided direct, actionable advice and was consistently available to answer my questions and address my concerns.
If you need a divorce attorney who is both efficient and committed to achieving effective protective parenting arrangements, including handling temporary orders hearings, I highly recommend Attorney Lianna Garza Smith. Her expertise and focus on my child’s well-being were crucial in reaching a favorable outcome.

I found myself needing a divorce lawyer after being served separation paperwork from my spouse. Shelly and her team were able to do an initial consultation within a day, and truly took the time to understand the complex issues surrounding my case. Shelly and her team have worked TIRELESSLY through this entire process to ensure that my rights as a father were preserved and protected. I truly owe this law firm my everything, as they have advocated for me and my children as if we were family. Being a father in divorce court is no longer the doom sentence that it once was, and the entire team did everything within their power to make sure my rights were protected. Ultimately, the final outcome of my case exceeded my expectations. I attended countless mediation sessions, hearings, and ultimately a custody trial. Shelly and Jessica both were very effective at communicating and guiding me through this entire process, and I am so grateful to have them by my side for every step of the way. Divorce truly brings out the worst in people, and having absolute faith in your legal team is a must. Shelly and her team delivered time and time again. The only reason I gave 5 stars is because there isn’t 6. Thank you!!

One believes they will be married forever and then after several decades, circumstances can change leading to the end of ‘forever’. In the beginning, my husband and I agreed we would do a quick online divorce without lawyers so we created our own separation agreement. I started to feel uneasy when his amicable behavior changed, he stopped communicating and began wavering on our agreement. I soon realized that I needed legal representation to protect my interests. None of my friends had legal recommendations so I did an internet search.
I came upon the website for the Law Office of Shelly M. Ingram and started researching the firm. I was impressed immediately with the backgrounds of all the associates and reviews were spectacular. I was equally impressed when I made my initial inquiry with the Legal Assistant, Laurie Danko. She made the intake process over telephone and email seamless and had quick response time to all my inquiries. Jessica Gillespie, Associate Lawyer was assigned my case. I had never needed a lawyer before so I was really nervous and intimidated prior to our meeting. The law office is in a secured set of rooms in a professional building, giving me sense of safety. The conference room was designed with chic and beautiful features, yet it was warm and inviting. I was put at ease immediately when Jessica arrived. She was down to earth, approachable, and most importantly to me - empathetic. I had no reservations about hiring this firm.
My initial separation agreement needed to be revised in a few areas to protect my interests. I had very specific concerns about the wording of this document to ensure that my husband would not find a legal loop hole that would enable him to stop his financial obligations for me in the future. Jessica recommended a specialty law firm that could work in concert with her firm to address these specific items. Revising the agreement was a collaborative process that took a few weeks, which was important for me. She alleviated all my concerns, which made me feel that I was in control throughout this process. When we had our settlement conference at the Court house, Jessica negotiated a settlement that was very agreeable to my husband and me. Thankfully, everything was quite amicable, so much so that both our attorneys commented that they had never had a divorcing couple who were so friendly and agreeable to one another.
Ms. Gillespie has a busy caseload, yet she made me feel like I was her only client. She kept me apprised of everything that was happening with my husband’s attorney, the specialty law firm and all aspects with the Court process. I was concerned about this being a financial hardship, but she was very upfront and realistic about my retainer and expected legal fees. My divorce is now final and my concerns about my ex’s financial obligations were resolved as of this week. I even have a balance of my retainer that is being returned!
Nobody gets married with the intention of getting divorced. This process could have left me feeling defeated, however, I feel validated and empowered. I am so glad I decided to seek out legal advice. Hiring the Law Office of Shelly M. Ingram was the best decision I could have made.

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.
