Stephanie is the type of lawyer you would want on your side whenever you are facing an unfair justice, She took me under her wings during a time of need and cared enough to further research better terms for my stipulation agreement working strategically with the the opposing attorney to finish the matter outside of court, saving me time, money and unnecessary energy. You won't find a lawyer who is human and cares the way this firm does, I highly recommend it.

I had a criminal law matter and needed some assistance as I've never dealt with a situation like this before. I reached out to SL Nelson Law Firm to assist me with the matter. Stephanie didn't hesitate to assist. She is extremely patient, knowledgeable and compassionate. She assured me that everything would work out. She kept in touch with me every step of the way. I never felt like I was in the dark, she answered all of my calls and responded to all emails in a timely fashion. She was sure to always answer any and all questions I had. The outcome worked in my favor and I'm extremely pleased with the service provided. 10/10. I would highly recommend Stephanie to advocate for you! I truly value her services!
Forever grateful ! Thank you Stephanie !!

As a father of a 5-year-old boy, I honestly couldn't ask for better lawyers to represent me in court. Lisa and Kevin normally work with me and they are AMAZING! Extremely professional, punctual, and great at communicating with me both in and out of the courtroom. One of the district judges even said I have the best family lawyers in the county. I gotta say, I agree with him. I could go on and on about how great they are but I'd be here all day. If you have a family case hire them! Especially if you're a father!!

I would definitely recommend the Law office of J. Kevin Clark, P.C. because I felt forgotten by my previous attorney.Even though my case was difficult, Lisa Peterchuck was able to make me feel heard and assured me that my rights were being defended. I’m so glad I went with this law office because thanks to them, I was able to move forward with my life. They were always there to hear my concerns and doubts. They were compassionate in these difficult times. They always took the time to explain things to me and Mary Garcia, the paralegal, was able to explain to me the legal terminology in my own language. They saved me money, time and stress by helping me settle my case in mediation. They pay attention to details.I will always be grateful to my lawyer Lisa Peterchuck and the Law Office of J. Kevin Clark, P.C.

An absolutely outstanding law firm. They dealt with my divorce case. I had two attorneys prior that were getting bullied and dropping the ball on key items that ended up costing me time and excess money. Not all divorces are equal.
Some are extremely complex with assets and personalities. Lisa Peterchuck is an absolute tier 1 attorney and can handle complex cases both from a personality standpoint and asset standpoint.

Radha helped me through a tough situation that also involved complications from being on a dependent visa which she navigated well by working together with an immigration attorney. She was very approachable and responsive which was extremely helpful through a very stressful and constantly changing situation I was going through. She was accommodating with my limitations in terms of keeping appointments and communication and went above and beyond to help me through it all.

Radha has been absolutely a wonder to work with. Her knowledge on any divorce matter is phenomenal. She is really professional but at the same time very relatable.
She had my best interest at heart and she was really efficient with her time. I always felt comfortable and safe discussing about anything with her.
She met me as many times virtually as I wanted and was very quick to respond to all my emails. She always kept me in the loop and prepared me for every outcome.
Overall I got exactly the type of closure I wanted. It was extremely smooth and I couldn't have a better attorney than Radha. Hopefully I won't need another divorce lawyer. However for every family law matters she will be my go to from now on.

In 2006, I went to meet with Carol Caldwell. I was not in a happy situation and concerned about my future. A friend recommended I write a few notes about my situation. My notes turned out to be five pages typed single-spaced. When I met with Carol, I told her I had notes. She read the five pages. She looked at me and asked if I had any idea how much danger I was in. That was when the walls of shame and secrecy came crashing down.
My husband was severely abusive, but I was too ashamed to admit it. Carol lay down her requirements: I needed to get in contact with Betty Griffin House for a place to stay and counseling before she'd begin the process. Once that happened, she moved fast. I had an injunction in two weeks and the divorce was final in six weeks.
To say she changed my life is an understatement. She saved my life. She did not accept a case for the sake of work. She focused on my safety and well-being. Every step of the way, there were moments where the counseling at Betty Griffin helped me. I do not believe I would be where I am now if I had chosen any other lawyer. She is undoubtedly, the best there is.

I highly recommend Carol Caldwell as an attorney. I hired her to represent me in a highly contested divorce case involving children. She always had my children's best interest at heart and fought hard for them and me. She is a force to be reckoned with in the court room. She is always so well prepared and meticulous in every detail, resourceful, creative and knows the Florida law. Anything the opposing counsel threw at us never caused Miss Caldwell to stumble. She was available to answer my questions and concerns at all times. Her response to every, email, text or phone message was prompt. From my first meeting with her to the final hearing she was professional but extremely easy to talk to. Miss Caldwell always took the time to make sure I understood the proceedings and that I was prepared for court hearings. Miss Caldwell's office staff are also amazing. They went above and beyond to help me and my children many times. They always encouraged me, kept me informed, and very helpful with paper work. The whole team worked well together on my case.

Through such a tough and emotionally intense time, having decided to hire Irene to take our case was by far the best decision we could've ever made. She was thorough, efficient, knowledgeable and professional. She was honest and straight forward, sympathetic and compassionate. She knew what she was doing and explained it all so as to have us completely understand, allowing us to all be on the same page at all times. She's an amazing attorney and I would recommend her to anyone. We are forever grateful to her and the success she had with our case and for what it means to our family.

Irene Intelligator represented me in a highly contentious case. she was honest and professional. The first time i visited her office, she comforted me and gave me courage. she also explained to me that litigation is expensive and only the attorneys benefit from prolonged litigation. By encouraging me to settle, she was clearly acting in my, as opposed to her own, financial interest. Her goal of trying to settle while at the same time agressively pursuing the case to do so was very obvious. Irene always made herself available and promptly responded to and addressed my concerns. I highly recommend Irene Intelligator to any one who wants a lawyer with integrity and knowledge!

I hired Michael in a somewhat contentious divorce. I would say he was firm, consistent, but fair throughout. He told me what I needed to know and kept me fully informed in the whole case. He did a good job in pushing the issues that needed to be pushed when they could. Also, he was less expensive than other lawyers I talked to with similar experience, but I liked that he was straightforward and didn't seem like he was trying to tell me just what I wanted to hear, but what I needed to know.

Rachel took on my somewhat complex financial case, and proved herself in all areas of finance, communication, Illinois law and negotiation.

With Rachel on the case, I was able to move quickly to secure my parental rights AND work with my ex to work out a peaceful, positive resolution that was easy on all of us. She turned what started off as one of the worst experiences in my life into the foundation of something super positive for us that has fostered an amazing co-parenting environment for our 3 year old daughter. For any legal family matters at all, I would recommend Rachel and her team hands down. They are the nicest, hardest working, and most amazing legal team I have ever worked with. While I hope I never have to work with them again, if I do, they will be my first call.

What to say about Goldie... She is a pushy, strong, fights for your side and will not stop. She is a powerhouse. There is nothing that my now ex wife wouldn't do to try extort money from me and being dishonest with the judge was also a normal thing for her to do along with her lawyer who also did not tell the truth. In the end, Goldie was great and got me divorced and also ended the crazy with my ex. I am free no matter how much my ex wanted to be married to our divorce to punish me. I am so thankful for Goldie as she always set me straight and was my rock.

Goldie always listened to me. I was divorcing my husband and we had 2 young kids together. No matter what the other side did, Goldie would fight the fight for me. She would say things to the judge that I could not believe she remembered I told her. She knew all the details. The other side would hire and fire lawyers. Each lawyer was worse and they would just lie to the judge to try and get something. Goldie always prevailed. She won the war for me and I am now free and I have sole legal and sole physical custody of our kids. She is truly a miracle worker. I love you Goldie.

From the initial consultation to the signing of the final paperwork I felt 100% supported and confident in Mr. Andrew’s representation in my divorce/custody matter. Efficient, effective, professional and knowledgeable which resulted in the best possible outcome for me both legally and financially. He will be my “go to” for all my future legal needs.

I was served with custody paperwork regarding my child and I was at a complete loss, I was very emotional regarding this case and I am so grateful to have found Eric to represent me. After reading excellent reviews and having many people recommend Eric to me I had a consultation with him. His consultation at the time was completely free which was nice considering I was not prepared for this expense. Eric held up his word from the start and more. This was money WELL spent. He had not only dealt with me being an emotional wreck and not understanding much about the legal system but in the end he helped me get everything that was best for my child and that was the goal for me. I highly recommend Eric to anyone looking for a family lawyer and I can’t thank him enough for his patience and professionalism from start to finish!

I had an unusual and long-term divorce case that Ryan ultimately litigated to a very satisfactory settlement. Ryan stuck with me over 10 years working through a complex divorce and post-divorce issues. He was tenacious, steadfast, patient and reliable for everything we went through. I don't think any other attorney would have worked as hard and reached such a terrific outcome. Thank you Ryan for all you do!

I've spoken with four different attorneys about the details of my case. Ryan demonstrated an absolute mastery of the law and brought a depth of knowledge to the fine details of child support laws, rules, and administrative mechanics that was lacking in all of the others. He was well prepared for our call, and generous with his time. He was also quite creative in strategy and tactics. If you are in need of a family law attorney in Oregon, Ryan is an excellent choice.

Mr. Carty represented me in a criminal case. During our initial meeting he took the time to listen, was understanding, compassionate, and explained the process. I relied on his analytical skills and judgement to guide me through an extremely emotionally trying experience.
While interacting with Mr. Carty I found him to be ethical, knowledgeable, organized, accountable, and responsive. He answered every question I had. Both he and Ms. Grandfield (paralegal) communicated updates to me as the case progressed.
His interactions with opposing council and co-council were professional, direct and courteous.
I highly recommend Carty Law, PC when you need a team that has the creativity to find solutions and the perseverance to get the job done.

I had contacted dozens of lawyers to help me with my (contested adoption) case, they all had turned me down until I found Ryan Kuhn. From the very beginning you could tell Ryan and his assistant Jen are both very passionate and knowledgeable about what they do. One of the experts in our case said to me, "you either find a good lawyer who is a bad person, or a bad lawyer who is a good person, Ryan is the rare exception in that he is both." This is sooo true. He knew what was at stake and fought tooth and nail for my little family, working day and night for us. Words cannot explain how grateful I am to him and Jen for all they did for me. Without them I don't know where I would be, I truly believed finding them saved my life. He takes the cases that no one else will, and wins them. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!!! Him and Jen are both ANGELS.

Ryan and his assistant, Jen, were very understanding and compassionate but yet professional and reasonable as they helped me file for divorce from my husband of 30 plus years. One of the first things Ryan said to me was… “ I am more expensive than a counselor, so if you want to chat about things not directly pertaining to the case, I will steer you back on track….but I recommend it is healthy to go seek out a counselor to help you emotionally get through the divorce.” Right from the start he was very conscious of a budget and kept things moving that were important to the case. He reminded me that somethings could cost more in attorney fees than were worth proving. Where I wanted to achieve something based on the principle of it, he steered me back to the cost that would be sacrificed to get it.
The divorce was complicated by the fact that I had put my career on hold to be a stay-home-mom to several children, allowing my husband to advance his career with the federal government and have all the perks related to early retirement eligibility, federal employee health benefits (FEHB), a government pension and a generous government matching Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). Although I had the same college degrees, education level, previous federal employment, and had recently picked up non-federal employment, I did not have the number of years to be eligible similar benefits. I counted on Ryan to weed through the confusing government rules and regulations pertaining to government “Spouse Equity,” “Survivor Spouse Annuity,” and “Federal Employees Health Benefits.” When my husband was adamant that he did not want to provide for the Survivor Spouse Annuity, Ryan was able to appeal to him and his attorney to have it provided because of the long marriage. Whatever Ryan did not know, he found out. He also has access to professional paralegals (at rates less than his) who are experts at dividing government retirement and TSP accounts based on individual cases. Ryan leveraged their information and guidance in preparing the court orders for the retirement division and the TSP division. Ryan is highly knowledgeable of the government retirement-type issues and an expert in the preparation of court orders specific to government retirement plans.
Although there were no longer any minor children, my case was further complicated by many other things, to include stock being held for an elderly parent with the intention that it would be returned to her if needed for her health care, multiple bank accounts, brokerage accounts, credit cards, student loans for a couple children, pages of personal belongings, hotel points, airline points, hidden cash, hidden trips, hidden debt, an adult child still in college-tuition, a house mortgage, a timeshare, multiple cars, some of which belonged to children, a dog, healthcare, dental and vision for adult children under the age 26, and the desire to be able to obtain federal healthcare when needed for myself.
One of the best ways to describe Ryan is that he has the mind of a chess player. He was always thinking one move ahead, and the topic of alimony comes to mind here (pros and cons)…. You’ll have to ask him.
Did the divorce cost more than expected? … Absolutely! But I am the reason for this. I can be wordy (this is probably the longest review on his page) and my emails long, but Ryan patiently answered every question, reminding me along the way to trust him, and that my wordiness and multiple questions would cost me more. I did not care because he was providing me with information which gave me peace of mind. He also obtained something that three other attorneys told me could not be done (ask him!). He is excellent, worth every penny.
Lastly, it is not in my nature to write reviews. I have made this one exception because Ryan and his assistant, Jen, deserve kudos for a job well done. A sincere Thank You Ryan for accomplishing the near impossible. May your practice thrive!

Ms. Jacobson became involved in my case within 4 days of a serious car accident. She immediately handled the issue of my totaled car on which I still had a loan. She not only asked questions but she encouraged my participation and always returned calls and answered every question and concerns. As my case was medically complicated she also brought in an attorney who was an expert in medically complicated cases to ensure I had the best possible representation. I have no reservations referring her to anyone as she is a caring, compassionate and professional attorney.

Jessica recently assisted my family and I in a stepparent adoption for my daughter. Because of some unfortunate dynamics surrounding the biological father, I was extremely nervous going into it. Truth be told, I hindered in taking this step for many years solely out of fear. But because of Jessica, my family has been changed forever. Not only did she provide all of the legal support and knowledge necessary to make this experience successful, she offered emotional support and reassurance. After working with Jessica, I can confidently say that she genuinely cares about her clients, and if she gets the chance to represent you, will take you and your entire family sincerely into account.
From start to finish, she handled our case brilliantly. With meticulous preparation and purpose, she collected and included all of the facts, continuously anticipating every element possible. She communicated with us regularly, which assisted tremendously in the alleviation of our anxiety. The day of our final hearing was outstanding. Jessica was so utterly thorough in her presentation, there was little to be questioned. She presented our case so appropriately, confirming all the reasons it should have been granted, that it was! My family is forever thankful for Jessica’s commitment to us, and how deeply her efforts have impacted us for the rest of our lives.

Wow...where do I even begin....Jessica Laleh has been nothing but a blessing! I was down and out on my luck, lost ,scared and confused. I went through a really bad divorce years ago which caused me to lose everything and most importantly custody of my son...I had no direction of what to do or what attorney to even trust at this point after many failed attempts to get my son back. That's when I hired Jessica Laleh, I was living out of state at the time but I had faith that she would turn this around and hit a homerun so I can be reunited with my son back in Miami. It wasnt easy at all but she made me feel comfortable, at ease, not stressed because I knew she was working around the clock trying to make it happen. There was times I wanted to give up because it got really really tough but she always remained confident and supportive and never gave up on me. She worked on this for over a year through ups and downs and look...She got me home finally after not being able to see my son for almost 5 years. I am the happiest dad on Gods green earth! I see my son every other weekend and speak to him everyday and enjoy the holidays and birthdays with him! Jessica Laleh is not just any Attorney, she does her job with assertiveness and doesnt hold back! My heart is full and cant thank you enough for what you did for me. I hope you keep changing lives you sure changed mine! I also want to thank Dennis Koltun and your office staff Brian, Lily for also being supportive!! All you dads out there I am living proof that you should never stop fighting for your kids!! Anything is possible with an attorney like Jessica Laleh!!!

Jessica has been a blessing.
She was instrumental on preventing my children's relocation to a far away country.
Her commitment, superior analytical and strategic skills, hard work, and impeccable ethical standards were all factors that ensured a great outcome.
She was absolutely loyal throughout the way, but would also tell me when my expectations were unreal and would keep a reality check on everything.
That made me even more confortable from the beginning, because I knew I was working with a very rational, and thorough individual.
She definitely demonstrates superior communication skills that not only are very valuable in the court room, but also on your day-to-day interaction with her.
I am, and will always be, very thankful to Jessica Laleh, Dennis Koltun, and their law firm for the results, their excellent service, and the care and loyalty in which they handled me as a client.
I dealt with other lawyers prior to her and can guarantee that she stands way above them.

They were supportive through the whole process. I highly recommend them.

My brother and I were contemplating dividing our inherited farm into two parcels, rather than being owners in common. We were introduced to Buchheit Law by our previous lawyer who had retired. Buchheit Law did an excellent job of taking care of our request. We had a virtual meeting and she explained the process so we understood what would go on, and then kept us aware of the action required and that which had been completed. Buchheit Law recommended the surveyor and appraiser that were required, both very satisfactory. Lindsey and the staff were very easy to work with, covering any questions completely. I was extremely pleased with Buchheit Law, and would certainly use them in the future if the need be.

I went through a lengthy divorce process that was very difficult, and full of a lot of acrimony. I interviewed a dozen family law attorneys, and took copious notes. Traci stood out above the rest. I felt her approach to be the most honest and sincere. My experience was validated as I worked with her.
As I worked with Traci, I found her communication style simply outstanding. She always kept me apprised of what was happening, and was very easy to reach. I was never in a position of not knowing what was happening. If you anticipate a lot of difficulty with your case, you want someone like Traci on your side. She did wonders to lower my anxiety.
Let's face it, hiring a lawyer is expensive. And hiring a family law lawyer can quickly add up when the process is as lengthy as it was for me. Traci's billing was thorough and honest. She leverages her team to bring down the costs. I always felt that I was treated fairly.

I hired Traci as my divorce attorney and it was the best decision ever. I specifically worked with Traci and 2 other attorneys in her firm, Jessica and Alexis, and they went above and beyond for me. Divorces are never easy, especially when opposing counsel and the soon to be ex are challening, but they all went above and beyond and got me through to the finish line. They were kind and supportive of me through the entire process and I knew they had my back every step of the way. My divorce papers are signed, sealed and delivered and it's the best feeling. There are not enough words to express my gratitude for all they did for me. They are the best and I would highly recommend them to everyone.

I was fortunate to find Traci and retain her as a consulting attorney for my divorce. She took the time to discuss whether I wanted an attorney of record vs consulting, and guided me to the consulting route.
Traci and her team were on top of what filings I needed to do, what forms I needed to fill out, and were invaluable helping me understand my obligations and rights. Traci would take the time to help me understand the implications of certain decisions I needed to make.
She was also great connecting me to other attorneys I needed to work with on different aspects of my case.
Overall, made a stressful process as smooth as one could hope for.

I hired Rebecca as my divorce attorney and I can't say enough good things to say about her. She was very knowledgeable, she thoroughly explained the process and what I should expect.

I was very happy with my experience at FFLS. My now Ex and I went through Mediation with Laura and I was impressed by how simple and logical she made the process. All communications were timely, all instructions were clear and she really helped make what could have been a very difficult situation much easier by being great to work with.
I was so happy with the work she did to help us through the mediation process that I actually went back to the firm to help me with another separate civil matter. Once again, I was extremely satisfied with the representation I received. The case was not an easy one, and it took a lot of communication and coordination, but the quality of the attorneys (I worked with two including Laura) and staff at FFLS lead to a positive outcome.
The bottom line is that I would highly recommend Family Focused Legal Solutions -and Laura specifically - to anyone going through a divorce or other civil matter where legal representation is required. They are good people and they will work hard for you!

Although I retained another lawyer through Laura Ruvolo Lipp’s law practice, I have had conversations with her regarding my case and cannot express just how professional and caring she is. She thoroughly went through the entire process of my case and took time out to also help me emotionally through the tough areas of reliving a difficult time in my life. I trusted her compassion and professionalism and because I did, I was able to be fully trusting of my retained lawyer and have a positive outcome in my case.

Stephen helped with a case my ex wife brought to OCCS after 30 years falsely claiming I owed back child support. He was very thorough and explained everything to us on our level. His presentation in court with all of the facts and his knowledge I believe helped make a quick decision by the court in our favor.

attorney Estella Matta is very knowledgeable and dedicated to family law. She was very flexible with my needs and accommodated my schedule.

Attorney Matta helped me draft a pretrial memorandum and has always provided me with excellent legal advice.
Attorney Matta is undoubtedly great at what she does. She is incredibly intelligent and will work hard to fight for her clients but the best part of working with her is she is extremely personable and understanding. She has an expansive resume and many years of experience as a family attorney so she’s seen it all. A lot of times she was able to finish my sentences when explaining my legal troubles.
Attorney Matta is also extremely fair when it comes to payment, and she worked with me which was nice. She also doesn’t forget about her clients, and her concern for the outcome of their case is genuine.
I will definitely continue to consult and potentially hire Attorney Matta in the future and would recommend her to anyone in need of legal representation.

After speaking to numerous attorneys and hitting dead ends, I finally feel like I can make progress in my case because I am not just working with an attorney, I’m working with an expert.
I would highly recommend this amazing attorney to anyone who asks.
I was so close to losing hope until I met with and consulted with Atty. Matta. My hope is restored and I feel confident that I made the right decision working with this brilliant woman.

Going through a divorce was one of the most stressful times in my life. I was scared, feeling cornered, and in a financial pickle. Darin and his team made everything super easy and manageable. He listened, he validated, and gave valuable feedback on each line item. I was very thorough in my search for an attorney since my case involved some complications. My divorce ended up being contested and then appealed. We went to court several times and Darin shined every time! For the amount of work he put in he was was very reasonably priced! I spoke to many attorneys, have friends that are attorneys, and even worked with one prior to finding him, that’s how I know Darin is a gem! Hire him! Not all heros wear capes!

Darin has been my attorney on a few different matters, over the past five years. He has become like family, as we have communicated he has been known to phone me on his way home, or on the weekend if something comes up. I have always valued Darin for his attention to detail, kindness and passion to do "what is right". I would call Darin time and time again should I need his services.
Thank you, Darin for all you - I appreciate you!

When we were looking for an ethical attorney to represent our son, it was a daunting task. We interviewed many attorneys, but after meeting and speaking with Matthew Izzi, I knew that he was the one to represent our son's defense. I felt he would approach his defense with integrity and respect for our son, and he did. Matthew doesn't fall into believing false accusations of articles written, community pressures and opposing counsel stacked charges, he develops his defense based on facts, based on the truth for his client, our son. He assured our son of his defense plan and collaborated with our son on the best way to develop his defense strategy. Matthew's demeaner in the courtroom is professional, no matter how much opposing counsel tries to pull his strings, he remains calm and forthright. He addressed injustices that were made against our son and explained many facts, of the truth, that sheds a bright light for the jury to see and that light doesn't go out, for that is what the truth does, it shines bright. Matthew gave us hope, something the DA tried to destroy. The Shasta legal system is a process of delays, unnecessary jail time --for our son, questionable decisions made by appointed judges, unfair bail , this is 'not' a justice system in our point of view. This was frustrating for us and for our son. We experienced many injustices during my son's trial by opposing counsel and Shasta Sheriff dept. So you need a good lawyer when you are in Shasta's court system. If you are looking for a good defense lawyer consider Matthew, he cares for his client's well being, despite the uphill battle he faces when dealing with the opposing counsel's unprofessional behaviors, different judges and Shasta Sherriff/Probation dept., etc.. One more comment, if you read anything written via yelp, social media or in the newspaper, that is negative about Matthew's character, by certain people in Shasta county, don't believe them, they can't deal with Matthew being so good at his job and believing in our son's account regarding what really happened. God knows the truth and the yappers negativity against my son, will be dealt with by God.
When stacked charges are brought up against your loved one, you need an attorney who will represent your loved one, in an aggressive, professional, intelligent and smart manner. The highlight is-- you need Matthew who will believe in you and will work diligently to prove your loved one's innocence. Matthew helped me understand an area, that I wasn't familiar with, the legal system, this also helped our son fight the system for his innocence and to try to get through the difficult situation. Matthew's staff is friendly, listened to me through many phone calls regarding my frustration with the Court process, the DA and Sherriff dept. So consider Matthew for your defense, this will be the most important decision of your loved one's life.

JoAnn Perez comes from one of Huntsville’s most prestigious law firms. She has been in private practice for many years and has been very successful in her field. She is very knowledgeable and keeps current on new law in her field. When I decided that I wanted to replace my will with a trust I interviewed three attorneys before deciding on JoAnn Perez. JoAnn was clearly the most experienced and most knowledgeable. As with any good attorney she is specialized and will do the best job of any attorney in Huntsville in her field.

I know a good attorney when I encounter one and JoAnn is one of the finest.

I reached out to several employment attorneys and found that many of them only asked me basic questions during our phone conversations. However, Davis Amberlea stood out by offering me an in-person consultation where they thoroughly reviewed all of my paperwork. Not only did they spend an hour with me, but Davis Amberlea also provided valuable advice on my case. Their friendly and informative service exceeded my expectations. Needless to say, I am extremely satisfied with their exceptional assistance.

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.
