Shannon was not just my attorney, she also felt like a friend. She guided me through every aspect of my divorce making sure I knew exactly what was happening and when it was happening. Her experience is phenomenal. She knew right away when I was confused and jumped right in saying the words I didn't know how to say. She will go to bat for you.

Tom was our lawyer when we bought our house, and he was awesome! He was extremely knowledgeable and knew exactly what to look for throughout the process. Tom was extremely easy to reach; he always either answered his phone or called us back very quickly. We definitely recommend Tom, and we will use him in the future.

I want to personally thank Mr. Wosnik. He recently represented me in my divorce case. I came to him from an attorney that I did not feel understood me or the gravity of my case. Mr. Wosnik really heard me out and acted in the best interest of my family. He cared. Instead of treating me like “another client”, he made me feel like I had someone that would really defend me and fight for me. He did just that. He was patient and understanding. He delivered great results. I would highly recommend his services.

I want to first thank Wosnik Law for such an AMAZING Job. They helped me this week with my son’s case. Mr. Wosnik is so kind and soft spoken, he will tell you upfront what to expect. Everything he told me exceeded my expectations beyond human understanding. I went to court with Mr. Robbie and the judge 👨⚖️ gave us a dismissal of additional probation. I know it was the gracious hand ✋ of God working through the attorneys but I have to give them credit for their professionalism, knowledge, wisdom and understanding. My son was granted a second chance at life at 22 years of age.He was facing prison time for a probation violation. If I had 10,000 tongues I couldn’t thank you enough and also for a great 😊 price!

My God My God!! Let me say this PLEASE DO NOT hesitate to reach out this law firm. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Peter Wosnik for his outstanding support and expertise during a challenging time in my life. I was facing serious charges for the first time, and my mental health was in turmoil. With no knowledge of the law, I felt lost and overwhelmed.
Mr. Wosnik truly became a blessing for my family and me. His patience, compassion, and dedication not only guided me through this difficult process but ultimately saved my life. His deep knowledge and expertise in law gave me the confidence I so desperately needed during a time of uncertainty.
I highly recommend reaching out to Mr. Wosnik’s firm, as they are truly professional and results-driven. Please be sure to comply with everything he requests—his dedication and hard work have had a profound impact on my life, and I am eternally grateful for it.
Thank you, Mr. Wosnik. You will forever be in my prayers for continued prosperity and success

Attorney Dodd negotiated from opposing counsel’s deficient Parenting Agreement, recommending various ‘healthy practices’ and notifications about travel and relocation that were adopted in a binding agreement. Now that we are living separately with the children on a regular schedule we have time to reconcile property division and spousal support so we may file a mutual consent divorce on our family’s terms. I appreciated Rick’s sensitivity to parenting concerns and diligent negotiation throughout.

I was served a deposition subpoena to testify in a family dispute in which I had avoided becoming involved two weeks before trial. Another lawyer referred me to Rick to advise and represent me at the deposition. Although the trial attorney wouldn’t cancel the deposition, Rick bargained to limit the deposition to only two hours and defended me capably during the deposition. I hope never to need an attorney again for this reason, but would be glad to hire Rick again or recommend him to friends.

I spoke to numerous law firms before hiring Ms. Rickett to represent me in my divorce proceedings. From the very first time we talked, I sensed a heightened level of competence, integrity, and clarity of thought with Ms. Rickett, as compared to her peers. She guided me through the incredibly burdensome requirements of completing the various court filings associated with divorce proceedings, counselled restraint, and encouraged dispassionate decision-making in what is an otherwise emotionally charged situation. She also made herself available at odd hours and on weekends to provide counsel regarding various domestic situations created as part of the process. Having been witness to the lack of competence and questionable scruples of opposing counsel during this matter, I am very grateful to have had Ms. Rickett’s representation. I also greatly appreciate her assistant Ms. Anne Graney and her former assistant Ms. Lisette Hurtado for their support throughout the process.
I highly recommend the services of Ms. Rickett’s firm to anyone seeking a referral, based on the following:
- Highly available for her clients.
- Measured and calculating in her approach but also aggressive on behalf of her clients, when required.
- Fair and transparent billing practices.
- Thorough, detailed, and patient with her clients.

David is the finest lawyer that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Recently David represented me in a case involving a serious traffic accident. His superior knowledge of the law and tactfulness when dealing with the court resulted in charges being dismissed and a small fine. He even followed up by filing legal documents with the court that will protect me against any further civil action. Hi is very professional and easy to work with.

I had the pleasure of working with Jennifer on a restraining order case, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome. She is incredibly articulate in her words, ensuring that every aspect of my case was presented clearly and persuasively. Her professionalism is top-notch, making the entire process feel smooth and manageable.
What truly stood out to me was her responsiveness. Whether it was answering questions or providing updates, she was always quick to reply, which gave me peace of mind during a stressful time. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, we won the case. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone in need of a skilled and reliable family law attorney.

A five star rating and more for Fred Schwartz, is more than deserved. He handled my case in a calm, confident manner which included a compassionate concern for my well being. Fred investigated the accident in minute detail, gathered evidence and handled my claim negotiations. While it was a difficult path to physically move through this injury; I was surprised to experience an emotion healing when I received significant compensation for my pain and suffering. I am grateful, I had the BEST attorney in Fred Schwartz!

After having vetted over ten different family law firms, I settled on the Taylor Law Firm. After the initial consultation and interview it was obvious Chris Taylor would provide me with the best representation I could hope for. Fair and transparent he guided me through the entire process while always being available whenever I had questions or concerns. Through his excellent counsel I was able to meditate a fair settlement that I was satisfied with. I highly recommend the Taylor Law Office for all your family law needs.

He was on point with everything and was very polite and understood very well how to read and understand the Florida statue. If you are considering hiring an attorney, you definitely need to contact him and give him an opportunity to look into your case.

Clyde ensured I understood every detail, offering trustworthy guidance throughout the process by making calls, sending emails, and offering overall guidance/support. Kudos to April and Kenah for their prompt responses to my emails and phone calls no matter what the issue was, making me feel like Family Law Group was more than just a name—they treated me like family.

Attorney Ed Castro was asked to take over my DVRO case, which seemed to be permanently skewed by a deceitful abuser, a less than truthful criminal attorney and a biased judge. Mr. Castro perceived my vulnerability and "jumped right in." He was tenacious, had a scholarly command of case law, and usedhis ingenuity to maneuver this case back to justice. Through all his brilliance you could perceive his passion for the underdog. If you're in a battle, this is an attorney who'll come prepared to fight.

Taylor Goldschmidt, Esq. is a tough, competent, honest attorney with a heart. I searched for attorneys in San Diego County and sadly those attributes weren't easy to find. During my stressful, conflictual situation, Taylor was a true advocate. Whether she was delivering the punch in court, or in tough legal documents, she excelled. Taylor's creative solutions left the opposing side in retreat. Whenever the situation escalated, Taylor was always right there. Taylor Goldschmidt is more than an attorney when you need representation.

I have to say though not the situation I ever wanted myself to be in William was beyond amazing. He was always in more corner through my divorce. Not only did he close my case in 60 days, he walked me through everything. I hired another attorney and that was a mistake, he was able to clean up their mess and end a very bitter divorce. He always seemed to truly care about what was important and not just making a dollar off of me. I would recommend him to anyone looking to a skilled lawyer that is looking out for you not their wallet.

I’m thankful I found Jackie. I had prior representation for a brief time from the daughter of the head of different firm. I ended up disappointed with that individual and their performance, which seemed to be more self-absorbed than truly dedicated to their client. A very one- dimensional and impersonal experience. Having the expertise of Ms. Jackie Abboud was like a night and day experience. She was immediately engaged, very informative, and a great listener. She truly cares about her clients. She has decades of experience and her unrelenting drive to reach a favorable outcome and protect children is impervious to deflection. I was surprised by her personalization and availability. It was a welcome and refreshing feeling, knowing that I had a seasoned and genuine individual to navigate the waters, comprehensively, and to advise me without being intimidated with any matter or individual along the way. She was masterful at being able to present truth to the Courts and cut through the nonsense brought forth by my ex. Child custody cases can be very tough and stressful to navigate, as one or both parties can be caught up in desperate emotion and do very stupid things that can tie up the Courts time, burn through a lot of money, and ultimately place undue stress and burden on innocent children. Child Custody Evaluators can be involved and have to investigate any allegation. Again, more money essentially taken away from being used for your child’s future, and your child must be involved with having to be questioned, etc. I was on the other end of reckless,, ridiculous, hurtful, and shortsighted desperate attempts at diminishing me as a fair minded and devoted/loving mother. Ultimately, I was granted a move away order. His case crumbled . I was also able to obtain a settlement which greatly helped with court costs. I highly recommend Ms. Abboud if you can secure her services. I understand she doesn’t take on just anyone, and she’s not easy to secure. I feel very fortunate and I’m ever so thankful for our outcome. My daughter is the happiest she’s ever been. Absolutely thriving. I have never used my daughter as a tool, nor have been vindictive. That’s so important. Truth won, and I’m ever so grateful for Ms. Abboud being a steward of justice and incredible support for me and my daughter.
Jackie, from the bottom of my heart, Thank You.

If you are looking for a wonderful attorney to handle a Family Law matter, I highly recommend Danielle Levy. She was great and helped me navigate through a difficult situation of a Child-Support issue with my ex and got the outcome that was fair and needed for myself and my children. I know as fathers coming into the divorce/shared-parenting/child-support process, we feel as though we are automatically fighting an up-hill battle and we feel we often get the short-end of everything in these processes. Danielle quickly made me feel confident that things would work out fairly and honestly, and her experience in these matters really shined throughout the process. Also, Danielle and her staff were very professional, courteous, and understanding where she showed a lot of compassion, was very responsive to my concerns, and was straight-forward with everything. In the end, I couldn’t have hoped for a better outcome. I have to say a big thanks to Danielle and her staff! I have greatly appreciated everything she did with my case.

I sought counsel from Danielle Levy and her team at Essig & Evans LLP during the dissolution of my marriage in 2022, after trying to resolve a complex set of legal challenges on my own. Despite my best efforts, nothing I tried seemed to move the process forward, and I didn’t know what else to do. From the moment I reached out, Danielle provided the guidance, expertise, and support I needed to resolve what felt like an impossible situation.
Danielle’s professionalism and legal expertise were evident from the start. She thoughtfully explained each step, explored legal options I hadn’t considered, and developed a clear strategy tailored to my case. Her ability to manage sensitive negotiations with both assertiveness and compassion helped move things toward resolution when I thought no progress was possible.
Her paralegal team was also exceptional, handling complex filings, court communications, and deadlines with precision and care. Their responsiveness and clear instructions made a difficult process easier to manage and gave me peace of mind.
Even after the final court hearing, Danielle continued to provide support, ensuring that every post-dissolution obligation was properly addressed. Her dedication and focus on results were unmatched.
I’m incredibly grateful for Danielle Levy’s professionalism, legal skill, and compassionate approach. She helped me navigate a complex and emotionally challenging process when I thought there were no other options. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking an exceptionally skilled, collaborative, and compassionate family law attorney.

I was involved in a really bad situation that would've cost me points on my license and a misdemeanor on my record. The court appointed me an Attorney who told me that the D.A. wasn't willing to negotiate and I should just accept having points on my license and a criminal offense on my record. I thought about it and told him " I'll think about it".. The next day I said a prayer and God told me " Get an Attorney, who isn't court appointed !!! ". I searched the internet and came across " The Law Office of Kenneth Mollins". After reading the awesome reviews , I gave them a call. I spoke with Tim and he assured me that he will keep fighting until I got the best deal available. He kept fighting for me until I walked away with an offer of no points on my license, a traffic ticket, and a reasonable amount of time to pay it. I highly recommend their Law Office because they are extremely knowledgeable, competent, helpful, affordable and they patiently address any questions or concerns you may have as a client. They will always be my go to Law Firm.

I thought I could handle my divorce amicably by myself, but my ex husband’s family attorney (who hates me) hired the most expensive and viscous divorce lawyers in New York to make the divorce as contentious as possible for me.
My situation didn’t improve until a dear family friend recommended Rona to me. She immediately assuaged all of my concerns and fought hard for me and I ended up with a better settlement in the process.
Rona made the best of a bad situation and I will recommend her to everyone. She’s also a very nice person.

Jonathan and his very professional staff created a trusting environment that was so essential to me and to my divorce case.

Jonathan jumped right back into my case and led me through that process, too. Grateful for his help and support through the years.

I definitely recommend Attorney Rollin & his team for a Collaborative Divorce if you are looking for an equitable division of marital assets. They are wonderful to work with. Thank you so much & God Bless you all.

Had a consultation with Cathleen after being referred by a friend and was NOT disappointed.
I currently was not in the place to retain a lawyer but really needed some advice and potential guidance on filings etc. I booked time with Cathleen after talking with her paralegal Albertine (who was also so helpful and informative)
Cathleen gave my straightforward, realistic and honest advice/ information. She guided me with confidence and what you could tell was experience. She wasn’t trying to sell me on anything and I truly got so much and more out of the consultation.
Highly recommend!

My brother was hit in the of his truck on duty. The defendant and the cop in charge of reporting the crime to the court have tried to intimidate and blame my brother to be at fault of the incident. We asked for Mr. Yeargan’s help and he fully represented my brother and won the case. My brother was not found guilty in anyways.
Mr. Yeargan is a welcoming professional attorney at law. He has years of experience in the field. He sure will also provide you with resources if needed.

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.
