I had the great pleasure of working with both Jacalen Garris and Stephanie from the law firm Garris, Garris, Garris, & Garris, and they helped me quickly and expediently evict a non-compliant, uncommunicative renter who had stopped paying rent for several months. They both were professional, fair, eloquent, efficient, and extremely well-versed in what they do, and I cannot recommend Jacalen and Stephanie highly enough. Thank you so much for all of your help!

I was involved in a case and missed the court. When I received the verdict I was desperate. I called 5 different law firms to ask for help, but most of them told me they cannot help me. My colleagues recommended Jacalen's firm. They told me if there is anyone can help me in my case, her firm would be the best place in Ann Arbor area. So I went there hoping there would help me. I was lucky that Jacalen was there and she reviewed my case. She gave me some very professional advises and explained in detail how I could do for my situation. After I hired her as my lawyer in that case, she helped me solved my problem in time. After 4 months, the lawyer from another side in that case came to me again and ask money, saying I owe him about $5,000. I sent Jacalen an email ask for help, she helped me in the second day and the lawyer on the other side admit that the letter ask money from me is a mistake. She helped me again in time. And she did not charge me for this. I do appriate her quick response and very professional, honest, and thoughful service. In this case, I can see she is a very experienced, honest, and professional lawyer. It is my lucky to have her help me.

My husband of 34 yrs decided he wanted a divorce. I had not worked for about 10 yrs. I had never dealt with a divorce so I had no idea what I needed to do. Tammy walked me through it all. I was overwhelmed by everything but she was very kind and compassionate and she truly cared about my circumstances. After meeting with her the very first time, I knew I had gotten a great attorney who was a true gem. Every concern I had, she knew exactly how to handle it. She knows what she’s doing and I will be referring her to anyone I know that needs a fantastic attorney. She didn’t promise me any and everything because you don’t really know how it will all end up. She was always kind, caring and was on top of everything that was thrown at her. She is very fair and reasonable. I can’t say enough about my experience but am very grateful she accepted my case. Thanks Tammy

Attorney Sydney Benson & her staff made our same-sex, second parent adoption go as smoothly as possible. They answered all our questions in a timely manner, were available whenever a new question popped up, and had flexible options for getting all documents taken care of. The entire process was explained thoroughly, and we felt confident before, during, and after the adoption was finalized. We would recommend Attorney Sydney to any of our friends or family.

Attorney Benson was and is amazing!! She did a fantastic job throughout my entire case. From the face to face when I met her to the actual hearing I felt very confident with her. The lawyer before her I had didn’t defend me like I thought he should have so thats when I found Sydney. And I’m so glad I did. She works very hard and asks all the right questions which showed me she was putting effort into my case. What I liked most about her was she’s upfront and honest. She doesn’t sugarcoat anything but gets to the point cut and dry. Also, her confidence and entire persona in the court room was remarkable. I could go on and on! She’s an impressive women ❤️

If you want an excellent lawyer, chose attorney Benson. From experience, I learned that you need an attorney with an “aggressive” personality. I say that she is aggressive because she goes above and beyond and she keeps it real with her clients and when presenting her case. I hired her and I had sent her an email with so many questions. She got back to me on a holiday- in a timely manor. Regardless, she gets back to me in a timely manor- ALL THE TIME. The other night, she emailed me and answered my questions. We were emailing each other on and off until about 11 pm. Mind you, her office closes at 5pm. Being in the situation I am, she takes my case seriously and let’s me know everything will be okay. She is very professional and also sincere in everything that she does. I have faith in her and she has proven so much to me in a short period of time.

I don't even know where to start with the amazing and caring service I got from this firm. Deanna and Paula were absolutely amazing. My divorce case was not an easy one at all from all aspects and Weinman & associates were there for me every day, every moment, every morning and evening. These ladies are truly angels and they saved me from being down and feeling the pain of going through a divorce. I was provided with all the info and data I needed at anytime, I had a direct line via text and calls to my lawyer at any moment. My case ended pretty quick and that is really thanks to Deanna's support and consultation she provided me daily and weekly. The process was very clear and this firm really feels like a family during the hardest times! I will recommend this firm to anyone who is in need of family law support, and especially Deanna! Miracles do happen and they made my life much easier and calm to head toward new start! Thank you so much girls!

I have experience working with other family law attorneys. I’m super glad I have switched to Ms. Weinman. It was worth every penny!!! A lot of lawyers charge the same, however, they are not even close to Daryl’s expertise!

Brad and his team helped me complete my divorce that had complex international and extenuating circumstances attached. Brad’s knowledge of Texas Divorce Law was second to none. He dealt with the court appearances with courtesy and grace whilst providing solid, respectful and expert counter arguments to opposing council. As a result of this my only key demand, full custody of my at risk child, was met with little opposition from opposing council. The whole team were incredible and competitively priced. Will work with The Wright Law Firm again for any future legal requirements.

Brad (and Jeff) substituted in after a long drawn out process after filing (8 months) that got virtually NOWHERE with my previous attorney because she was MIA in both response time and counsel! Not only did Brad jump in, assess the situation and the proposed agreement my spouse and I had come to (absent counsel from previous attorney). Brad thoughtfully considered and acknowledged the spirit of what we were trying to accomplish, provided insight into potential drawbacks or areas of recommended clarification and focused exclusively on clarification of language vs. exorbitant revisions to the settlement documents (to put his mark on it) that would have further delayed finalization. He was knowledgeable, professional, responsive and diligent (as was Jeff)-I highly recommend him.

I knew I wanted to hire Brad right after my initial consultation. I was going back to court for the second time over my child possession agreement and felt like I didn't have any options. Brad came to the table with three different effective solutions and took the time to explain in detail what each one meant. We were supplied a revised document from my x that had many holes in it. Brad took the time to explain why we had to add certain notes and even the smallest detail is crucial when protecting my rights. I learned more from him in a month than I had in 2 years with my last attorney. I'd highly recommend him.

Chelsea Gajewski is an absolutely stellar attorney. Beyond being in a position where I needed her services to handle custody, it was a wonderful experience working with her. She consistently did a wonderful job informing and guiding my decision making. I can imagine it can be difficult to tell clients when something is unrealistic or unlikely, but I was most grateful for the hard advice. It gave me confidence in knowing that I was being advised on my best interests, as opposed to just being told what I want to hear. As emotionally taxing as the process can be, I was appreciative of the kind words of encouragement she offered. It may seem minor, but just hearing "You are a good Dad" can make a world of difference. Chelsea is competent, judicious, honest and empathetic. I sincerely couldn't have asked for a better attorney.

I wrote to Lorna at the end of my 2.5-year custody battle - "Words are inadequate to express my gratefulness", and it's true. Lorna has been on my side for that long, not only as my counsel, but to me, also a friend, and a mentor. I remember talking to a dozen attorneys who all turned down my case because of its complexity - a divorce that invovled domestic violence, dependency, immigration, and relocation - yet Lorna was the only attorney that took genuine interest in my case, and she did not even charge me for our first 2-hour consultation. She actually read through over 3000 pages of my dependency case. She always responds promptly, sometimes even after office hours, she is thorough and detailed, insightful and empathic. She remained a delightful spirit despite my ex's constant threats, harassment, and accusation directed at her. Even though I could not continue to afford her representation toward the end of my case, and chose to represent myself in a 3-day trial, she guided me through every step to make sure I was prepared and capable. And I won, even with some extra icing on the cake I did not expect. The judge said he has not seen anyone go pro-se without an attorney and could carry out the whole trial like I did in his 14 years of experience, but I credited Lorna for her guidance. I couldn't have done it without her. She encouraged me and believed in me even when I doubted myself - unlike those lawyers on Avvo who always tell you that you are screwed if you're going to trial alone. Talking to her always made me feel better. She went above and beyond for me from beginning to end like no others, and for that I'm forever grateful for everything she has done for me. Thank you Lorna <3.

I hired Mr Weinzierl for help with long term payment issues and child support for my son about to go to college. I am nearly 10 years post divorce with an abuser who will not stop for nothing. Rob is really calming when the ex triggers the PTSD. He knows things are upsetting but he guides with what feels like a bit of love and logic. If you have ever dealt with a truly pathological person you know how crazy they can make a legal case. There is almost nobody who understands the abuse dynamics in family law. I am proclaiming this loudly- Rob Gets It!! My case isn’t done yet but I am so happy Rob has not given up fighting for what’s right. I can’t recommend him highly enough!!

In April I had an emergent situation come up and had to file for custody after previously not having to have an order. In addition, I was having to do so from 2 hours away. Ms. Loshinsky was great from the start. She was always prompt when returning my calls and emails and worked very hard to get the final outcome that I was hoping for. She did her best to make sure that I wasn't having to make unnecessary trips to and from Wilmington, etc. I know that during this process I probably drove her crazy, if I did, she never hinted at it. She was always patient and diligent. I would recommend her and I would use her again should the need arise. Thank you!

The mother of my child came after my family and I hard. She made accusations against my family, my friends and myself, claiming whatever she could to get full custody of our son and have a ton of restrictions put on me. I must have called at least a dozen lawyers, many of whom were either not accepting new clients or were charging insane retainer fees. I had my consultation with Kiley shortly after contacting her firm. She was extremely professional and seemed more knowledgeable than most people I'd talked to. Since hiring Kiley, she has helped me get an order of protection against me denied, a very favorable family plan ruling and is currently helping me deal with a child support issue as DCS has the wrong information about my income. I would absolutely recommend Kiley Anderson to anyone who's in need of a family law attorney. She prepared an eloquently written and factually accurate argument. She pointed out every little inconsistency in the other parties claims, and there were a lot of them. She completely outclassed the opposing attorney and by the time she had finished talking to the judge I was simply ecstatic that I'd chosen to hire her. Her paralegal Liz is extremely responsive and friendly. During an emergency incident on a weekend, she took my call and worked me through what the situation was and what steps I should take next. I'm very thankful to both Kiley and Liz for taking my case and protecting my family and I. Even with all of the stress I've been dealing with lately, I can recognize that these are true professionals who are going above and beyond to help my family and I. I really couldn't be happier with their service or more thankful for their understanding and compassion. These are the kinds of people you want handling your legal needs!

Cameron was extremely timely, extremely to the point, and extremely beneficial. She cut to the chase. We came to a settlement with the other party in a short timeframe. I'm certain all cases can be complicated, but she made me feel like my case was a priority and she valued that my complications were in her interest. Her pricing is worth every penny.

I recently hired Mr. Burns to represent me in my child support/custody case . I had consulted with other local attorneys in the area before meeting with Erik . While they seemed disinterested in what I had to say , Erik immediately said he would take my case. From the very beginning , I could tell how passionate he is about what he does ! He treated me like more than just another client . He treated me like a friend or a family member. I could really tell he cared . Erik kept me informed through every step of the process and was always there to answer any questions I had . He and his secretary were always available for me whenever I called or emailed them ! Erik was extremely diligent in researching every aspect of my case to ensure he got me the best possible results . Erik fought for me and my daughter every step of the way , without fail ! Erik not only won my case for me but he got me even more than I had initially expected . If you are looking for an attorney that will fight for you and your family like he would fight for his own then Erik Burns is the attorney for you ! I promise you that you will not be disappointed !!!!

I wanted to take an opportunity to write a review for Erik Burns. He represented me in 2012 for a child custody hearing. Erik fought zealously for my rights as a parent and for my daughter, researching and working beyond the scope of his engagement. He was able to get excellent information on record, as well. I am fortunate to have had Erik as my attorney and proud to call him my friend. Now that I am a Tulane graduate in General Legal Studies and a competent paralegal, I can intelligently comment and praise Erik in his professionalism and efforts. He wrote an amazing motion and was very thorough in his details covering the facts and enumerating the legal issues at hand before the court. Even though we lost, it wasn't because Erik wasn't awesome, didn't do his job or because he dropped the ball. It was because we had a prejudiced judge, plain and simple. And sadly, that happens, but losing does NOT deter me from confidently recommending Erik or from praising his valiant efforts. A non-biased judge would have made a different call.

I recently had the privilege of working with Kate Flaco for my divorce proceedings, and I couldn't be more impressed with the outstanding service and consistent success achieved. From our initial consultation, Kate exhibited a high level of professionalism, empathy, and expertise. She took the time to thoroughly understand my situation, listened attentively to my concerns, and provided clear guidance on the legal process ahead. Throughout the entire journey, she maintained excellent communication, keeping me informed and involved every step of the way. Kate's ability to leverage her connections positively influenced the trajectory of my case. Her strategic approach, combined with her connections, allowed for efficient resolution of issues and negotiations, ultimately leading to a favorable settlement that exceeded my expectations. Every time we faced a challenge, Kate was able to accomplish our objectives with skill and efficiency. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking exceptional legal representation during challenging times. Thank you, Kate, for your unwavering support and outstanding advocacy.

Kate was amazing with my difficult divorce. I was anxious and the situation was tough. Not only did she ease my mind and calm my fears, she did exactly what she said she would do. She defended me beyond expectations. I have since referred her and she has done a great job with friends and family. Truly one of the best out there!!

We retained Katrin to obtain Grandparent's visitation rights to our grandchildren. Katrin first outlined a course of action to avoid going to court if possible. When that failed, she advised us as to the best way to be successful, with realistic expectations. The was empathetic to our situation and kept us appraised of the progress or lack thereof. She also was good at working with the opposing attorney, reaching a good compromise with the parent we were having difficulty with. While always professional, she also was very understanding and helpful in her dealings with my wife and me. She also sent us regular statements so we knew exactly where we stood financially.

Stacy showed she actually cared about the outcome my custody case, she exceeded my expectations immensely by the way she handled everything and how she advised me to try for joint custody which I thought there was no way it would succeed, but I was wrong and because of Stacy my daughter is very happy and her mom and I have been coparenting peaceful, friendly and very well. I recommend Stacy Regele %100 for anybody needing help in custody case or any other matter I’m sure Stacy would show the same amazing work ethic and pure awesomeness. Thank you.

Stacy took a very stressful and certainly unfamiliar situation and explained every step in a comforting way. She was so kind and patient with me, helping me understand the processes. I could not have asked for a better person to represent me. She covered everything and even future issues I would not have known about. Seeing me in my broken state and treating me with respect and compassion the whole way through. In the end, I walked away with everything I was asking for. Amazing result for a newly solo Father. I have highly recommended her to so many people in the last few years (they have had the same experience and could not have felt more at ease) that I should have earned a fast pass/discount for my next divorce. Thank you for everything!

I've known Ms. Catharine Venzon since law school and because of her diligence, professionalism and passion with the law even then, I knew that she was the person to reach out to many years later in my time of legal need. Early on she made me feel at ease with my matter, worked with me on all accounts and helped to smooth over a very complicated and stressful situation in my life. Most notable, Ms. Venzon is all about quick resolution while protecting your best interest and, (something we all pray for), she REALLY CARES about you as a client.

The difficulty of a Custody issues can be stressfull...but Ms. Venzon was the answer to all of my legal needs. If you want a PIT-BULL of a lawyer fighting for you, then you hire Ms. Venzon. She is extremely skillful, witty, and brilliant in the courtroom. She makes you feel very comfortable about your case and doesn't give off that sleazy, "Im in it for the money" feel that some lawyers will give you. She goes into every case like she has something to prove, and she proved it well to me. She's my Lawyer!!....and I would recommend her to anyone I know. SHE'S A GOOD BET!!

I feel extremely fortunate to have chosen AT Debnam and the Mueller Law Firm to represent me during my recent divorce. Not only did everyone treat me with exceptional professionalism at all times, they also made me feel more of a friend and less of a client. During such a difficult emotional time this meant a great deal. They not only excel at all legal aspects, but they also understand the personal turmoil involved. It was truly appreciated. AT was just magnificent at handling my specific case. Thoroughly prepared always, of course, and wholly focused on what was best for me. One of her greatest strengths, in my opinion, was her capacity to give me strong, rational advice and then listen to me when I perhaps wanted to do something a little different. This shows that she cares about the person and their situation first and foremost. Who wouldn’t want that when going through this ordeal? This sets her apart. From the professional approach to the personal touch, I could not recommend anyone higher than AT and my entire experience with the firm as a whole was exceptional.

Anne Debnam is a smart, thorough attorney! Her paperwork and language in her documents are the absolute best! When you need a smart strategy, thorough paperwork, a person who really advocates for you - there is no one better. She is also excellent in litigation --- she was well prepared, and that created an advantage to me and my outcome.

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.
