When I explained my situation to Mr Seyfi he asked me what I did? I told him I was a recording artist. He asked if I had any music available? After he heard a few tracks on Apple Music he told me to get out there and continue to make good music. And not to worry about this case because he was going to make it go away! And he did exactly as he said! After that initial meeting in his board room I never heard from the courts, police or anyone ever again. There are no words? This guy has strong medicine.

I am truly grateful for the opportunity to consult with Attorney Yoseb despite his busy schedule. Thanks to him, I was able to gain a clear understanding of the legal aspects and the environment here. He thoroughly assessed my situation and provided valuable insights on how to proceed, which was incredibly helpful. I highly recommend consulting with him before moving forward with any case.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support I received from Judy DiFranco in my settlement case. Judy demonstrated an impressive level of knowledge and expertise in handling claims related to this sensitive issue. She was always available to answer my questions and provided me with clear explantations along the way! I highly recommend Judy to anyone in need of legal assistance, especially issues related to 9/11. Thank you Judy!

You cannot say nothing bad about Bataresh Pammer. When I meet with George Pammer for the first time. He made me feel comfortable with the stress I was going through. I also received addition support from his team of partner Claudia Bataresh and his Para Legal Michelle Vincent. It made a world of difference to me. I later learned from my niece that George was rated Super Lawyers NY Metro Rising Stars for 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and most likely 2025 which I did not know. She was worried about me as to who will represent me fairly during this stressful time. Now I fully understand why he is the mark of excellence. You might pay a little more than most divorce attorneys do but in the end, you know where that extra went. Protecting your interest and assets. Very happy I made the right choice. Alex K

I had a positive experience with this firm. Recommended by a friend, I trusted them with my first accident case. They were patient, kind, and caring to me. To the insurance companies, they were thorough and, I imagine, tenacious because I was able to receive treatment for my injuries, which was most important to me. They didn't stop there.

The law firm of Zimmer, Mathiesen & Associates are exceptional. As a satisfied client of theirs, look no further. I highly recommend Zimmer, Mathiesen & Associates for Attorneys-At-Law in Commack NY if you are in need of legal counseling services regarding family law. My marriage was at an end, anda couple of friends from church had directed me to a mutual friend of theirs that can take my case and assist me in closing the loop legally in this matter, Todd Zimmer. Todd is professional, and also extremely personable in his demeanor in assisting me step-by-step with my divorce settlement, and he fought really hard for me in finalizing the agreement of terms between parties. Thank you Todd and your team for your services. Recommend highly. Kevin Mah

I am in the trenches of a divorce. I have a 5 minute hearing via phone call to schedule a two hour circuit court hearing. I have a Caroline on retainer and its nearing its end of funds. I briefly had conversations with Caroline about POSSIBLY retaining other representation for a more aggressive attorney but nothing solidified. Caroline no shows to my 5 minute hearing/phone call. Even if she thought I had retained other representation which she knew I had not, she chose to not make time for me as a paying client. I am pretty surer this skirts the laws of some kind of malpractice. What is more is that Caroline nor anyone from Ambler warned me that they WOULD NOT continue representing me for trial. t would appear that Ambler Law is deathly afraid of trial. Now I find myself without representation as I am approaching my trial. As she is successfully avoiding helping a willing paying client or the court room. If you are navigating divorce and you seek representation that plays the terroristic game of practicing law to harass the other side of marriage to avoid trial then I would submit to you this is the law firm for you. If you seek representation that seeks not to get rich but to argue cases on behalf of those who seek justice, find someone else. Depending on how my trial and divorce goes, I may pursue taking Ambler law to trial or court for malpractice. Best of luck to you.

His ability to handle sensitive topics like trauma and domestic violence with both skill and compassion is particularly impressive. Additionally, Michael is easy to talk to and approachable, making the entire process more comfortable.

I was catapulted into divorce, and blindsided by my (then) husband. From the moment I walked into Matt’s office, I was welcomed with kindness, empathy, strength, lots of tissues and I left with a plan. Matt and Jen took their time to hear “my story” and really listened to my hopes for my marriage as well as my worries about divorce. Matt and Jen were there EVERY STEP of the way from start to finish, 2.5 years of false accusations, malicious and fabricated statements that attacked my role as a mum, my integrity and could have significantly impacted my career. I genuinely thought I was going crazy. Matt and Jen never wavered in their continued support and belief in me and the truth despite the oppositional fabrications. They never once believed I was what was being said. They plowed through many ( and I mean many) emotional and some times erratic emails filled with 100’s of pictures, videos and screenshots of messages/emails, in response to receiving statements that were personal attacks and untrue. Matt and Jen took this all within their stride, they never once made me feel I was too much or a burden. They were my backbone at the most crushing time of my life. I felt that this wasn’t just a “job” for them they genuinely cared about what was best for me and my children. My case was complex for many reasons but was further complicated by an international move, yet Matt and Jen continued to support me from afar continuing to validate my story and their belief in me never changed regardless of my geographical location. This was evident in our recent trial, my then husband continued their fabrications on the stand, yet this did not phase Matt in the slightest, he was more than prepared and presented evidence after evidence to disprove my then husband right there on the stand. It was extremely hard and sad to witness, yet my story and my truth was finally being told and It finally hit me, I was not crazy!! I cannot thank Matt and Jen enough. Whether you are scared, worried, an emotional mess, crushed and suffocating or not, Matt and Jen will be your backbone and hold that emotional weight until you can breathe again. Matt and Jen, I can finally breathe and begin to heal so from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU.

Not a good representation at all. Multiple conversations on the same topics uncountable times to milk your money. She take notes only not to have them later. To many phone calls a day asking one question then hanging you on the phone to lengthen the conversation then turn around and do the same thing again . Not to mention over charging me for the time. When I called this tactic to her attention to ask all questions needed. The conversation was not pleasant. I saw that the financial statement was only to see what the max you could pay. What attorney burns up your entire retainer balance in 3 hours. I could go on, but enough said.

When I started researching attorneys and asking for referrals two different people recommended Allyson Dow. At the time I thought it was a coincidence, however after working with Allyson and Crystal Pietroforte I think it happened for a reason because they were exactly who I needed to guide me through my divorce. I’m truly grateful to have found them. Even when my emotions ran deep, they calmly and expertly steered me back on the right path. They work as a tight-knit team and were always well prepared, professional and their communication was excellent. What impressed me the most is that they took the time to get to know me. I was fully confident that they weren’t just representing me because it was their job, they genuinely stood behind me, which means more than anything. You won't find a better team!

Her prices for the work completed was fair and she went out of her way to make sure I was not buried financially. Beyond the legal service, Allyson and Crystal believed in me—and in these cases, just knowing that someone is willing to stand behind you is more powerful than any law. If you have family law needs, you would be well-served to choose Allyson.

I cannot recommend Jenna Bergeron enough! I originally booked a consultation with her because I was having significant trouble with my current attorney. Jenna went above and beyond—she didn’t have to assist me, but she took the time to walk me through the system and ensure all the necessary paperwork was filed correctly. Her professionalism, kindness, and genuine care stood out immediately. Even after our consultation, Jenna has continued to follow up and ensure everything was addressed. She truly cares about her clients and their situations, and her support has been invaluable. If you need a family law attorney who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated, Jenna is the one to call.

Channelle drafted the wrong wording regarding spousal support after taking her to two mediations, per my new lawyer that I took to my final arbitration. She hardly looked at my case, and relied on her office personnel to handle everything. When I showed up at the first mediation she asked me why we were there and if me and my ex could reconcile (no). I felt she sided with my ex in terms of giving him 50/50 parenting time even though I was a stay at home mom. I do not recommend this office to anyone.

Ashleigh is an exceptional attorney! She was with me every step of the way as we fought and won against a very difficult to deal with EX and lawyer from a popular divorce firm for women. We were faced with a lot of obstacles, which were all overcome! The outcome of my case was even better than I expected! Ashleigh and the staff are very responsive and efficient. I can’t say enough about the level of professionalism and seasoned skill set that was displayed on my case. Having Kizy law on your side fighting for you will be an asset, especially if you’re dealing with divorce, parenting time/rights, and child support. I can’t thank you enough!

I highly recommend the Norris Legal Group. If you want a Pitbull by your side to go after the other party, and a person who treats you with the utmost respect, Cameron Norris is the attorney for you. An extremely aggressive attorney, if you want, or a calm, confident, and respectful attorney, if that is the route that you prefer. I rarely leave reviews, but on the rare occasion when people or companies are exceptional, I always feel compelled to tell others. Cameron Norris and the entire team at the Norris Legal Group, are truly EXCEPTIONAL!!! I initially wanted an aggressive attorney to go to battle with me, and Cameron gave me 100% confidence that he was that guy. He also was honest with me though and clearly explained what would come with my, "I want to go to war thinking". He did not just agree with me, and he very professionally explained the entire divorce process. I really appreciated this honest advice that I was given, especially once a couple of weeks had gone by, and I had time to calmed down. During the consultation, I did not feel rushed and Cameron made me feel heard. He did not cut me off, and he allowed me to speak, cry and vent. Finding the right attorney during this horrific time in your life is extremely important. I think during the consultation, Cameron quickly realized that I was an emotional disaster, and he was very kind to me in his approach. I will forever be grateful for Cameron. I had a consultation with a different attorney the day before, who made me feel very rushed, while I was talking. The attorney kept cutting me of mid sentence, and he was a horrible listener. This other attorney seemed to care less that I was so distraught. I really felt that all he wanted was my money. After I had my consultation with Cameron, before I had even left his office (very nice BTW), I knew that my search for the best attorney was over. I felt like I had just talked to a friend, who cared about me, that I hadn't seen in years. I knew that I had struck gold and that I had found the BEST attorney in Ventura County! Throughout my entire experience with the Norris Legal Group, I received nothing but professional, ethical, and courteous service. The office staff was also great and everyone was very responsive. If you've ever had an attorney before, I'm sure you know firsthand, that responsive attorneys do not seem to exist. Well, I now know there is at least 1! Everyone in the office was so kind to me. Most importantly, I always received honest advice. Cameron did a great job offering different courses of actions that I could take, during the different stages of the divorce, while clearly outlining the pros and cons to each solution. If you want to be treated more than a client, and feel that you are going through this horrible time in your life, with a friend who cares about you by your side, then I HIGHLY recommend the Norris Legal Group!

Mr. Daugherty handled multiple cases for me. I was involved in a very controversial separation to divorce. Although I tried to work with my ex toward an amenable resolution and get treatment for his addiction issues, my ex's family and the opposing lawyer made that difficult when they proceeded to file multiple fraudulent claims against me. Mr. Daugherty stepped in several times to assist - he even went out of his way to make sure I was aware of legal proceedings he found out about that were purposely filed by the opposing parties behind my back. Although the opposing party was highly unethical and attempted to circumvent or delay any proceedings they knew they would be unsuccessful in, Mr. Daugherty was straightforward and honest with me in options to deal with such. Unfortunately, my ex lost his addiction battle and passed away and I continue to fight his family to get the compensation that is owed me and my children; however, Mr. Daugherty's assistance in making sure I safely got out of an abusive situation was worth the cost. Mr. Daugherty is not only patient and understanding but is also ethical, straightforward, honest, and reliable.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
