Attorney James Kirkland exceeded in all areas throughout the duration of my custody case. I'm an Ohio native, but relocated to Western Massachusetts, my sons lived in Ohio, but yearn to be with me. Although me residing out of State made the case complicated alone, Attorney Kirkland listened to my story and accepted the challenge. He was very organized, focus and reviewed every single detail and aspect that went into the case. He was not afraid to take the steps necessary to get results If there is one thing that I am sure of, is that he KNOWS THE LAW, and he knows it well. What made Kirkland unique was his approach. He is respectful, honest, thorough but very Family Orientated. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation, surrounding family law.

I usually never write a review or give excellent ratings unless it well worth it. I am not the type of guy that logs on and reviews product or services. This, however, is my exception.
I was in the Marine Corps when Mr. Kirkland took my divorce case in 2012. I needed a lawyer to represent me in court because I could not attend any hearings, due to my military obligations. Mr. Kirkland not only took my case (and even though we didn't have a chance to meet face to face) he was able to fully complete my divorce decree in court.
Fast forward two years later. I had another crazy summons by the ex-wife (figures). Once again I need a lawyer and decided to go back to Mr. Kirkland for legal advice. Not only did he remember me after two years, but he once again took my case and fought for me.
Mr. Kirkland is an excellent lawyer at a reasonable price, and I think the most important part is that, he is military friendly. He always gets back to you and keeps you informed throughout the whole proceedings. To all my military friends out there, I highly recommend him.

I have been very pleased w/the Kirkland atty firm. The entire staff is very helpful, courteous and understanding while maintaining a professional atmosphere. Mr Kirkland himself is very open and straight forward. He answers questions in a timely manner, explains when necessary, prepares in advance and is very thorough.
I have been working w/Mr. Kirkland and his office since 2011 as we walk thru a rather contentious divorce case. Both in his office and in the courtroom, Mr. Kirkland is attentive and efficient.

Susan helped me through a very nasty divorce, and the subsequent multiple court filings my ex filed. Susan did a great job of listening and guiding me through the proceedings, and helped ease my mind. She always does a great job of being responsive, and returns calls and emails same day. I've really been thankful that Susan was with me through all of this, and I'll continue to work with her!

Susan is more than an attorney! She cares for us, personally! Susan has been our attorney during some parenting time negotiations that started out simple and eventually became very complicated and difficult to negotiate. She is VERY knowledgeable, well-respected in the courts, and a tough negotiator for our concerns.
At one point, our case crossed jurisdictions within the courthouse and Susan was there--without hesitation--to help us navigate and convey our needs to the court. I cannot express in words, how relieved we felt, to see her walk through the door when our world was seeming to turn upside down. On a moment's notice, she became a savior that day!
Susan is an amazing attorney and one I will forever recommend to anyone who asks!

I easily recommend Mario Napolet for anyone needing legal services. Mario was always responsive and communicative, making sure I understood my options fully before making any decisions. Mario was thoughtful, empathetic and respectful during an extremely difficult time. I used Mario's services during a complicated, 5-year the legal situation. During this time my life and circumstances changed for the negative and positive. Mario was understanding during all points of time. With the amount of work, legal review and court dates, the fees remained reasonable.

Mario Napolet is an excellent lawyer. He is personable, honest and knowledgeable. I have never worked with a lawyer that was as responsive as him. Although I haven't proceeded with my divorce yet, the time he spent talking to me about my situation really clarified my game plan. He is a great lawyer and a great human being. I have every confidence that he would do everything it takes to get the best possible outcome.

I had a situation where it was a benefit to not plead guilty to the charge. I knew a needed a lawyer who knew his way around the courts. Tyler Simmers was able to properly represent me, because he has the experience and relationships necessary to guide an individual to their best possible outcome. I ended up taking his recommendations, and it greatly helped my situation by being pro-active. I even learned a thing or two in the process. I highly recommend Tyler Simmers at Ambler Law Offices, LLC. If you need the guy, he is THE GUY I would use. I will definitely send referrals his way. Five Stars!

I had never been charged with a violent crime and with very little evidence to back me up he was able to walk me through all the possible outcomes during consultation, we settled on a fair price, he was extremely professional and took the time to hear all my concerns and look over all my evidence and talk to everyone he needed to and then some. Got the charge completely dismissed! He was amazing. Doesn't hurt he's cute too ;)

I am incredibly grateful for the unwavering support and dedication provided by Andrew Rheingrover over the past several years. Andrew has been instrumental in navigating one of the most challenging alimony cases on record in the state. His relentless effort includes supporting me through numerous court trials and two Court of Appeals hearings. While I have faced intense scrutiny during the trials, it is the judges' rulings that are currently under significant scrutiny in the ongoing appellate proceedings. Andrew, a distinguished member of one of Charlotte, NC’s most prestigious law firms, continues to fight tirelessly on my behalf. I extend my deepest thanks to him for his exceptional service. I am forever in his debt.

Andrew is an extremely effective attorney. I started out with a different attorney for my difficult child custody case. I did not feel that my prior attorney had my best interest in mind and was doing only the bare minimum in preparing my case. I decided to seek other representation.
I hired Andrew very late in the process, with my TPA hearing only 2 weeks away. Andrew was able to put together a very solid and sensible case based on the facts, far superior to what was done previously for me.
Right away, I noticed a dramatic difference in the way Andrew was handling and preparing my case, compared to my previous attorney. I was extremely impressed with how quickly Andrew got up to speed and reviewed/prepared all of the evidence in such a short amount of time. He is organized and stays on top of everything. In addition, he made himself very available to me, whether it was just questions I had, or any concerns or updates that I needed to know. He continued to work diligently throughout the entire weekend prior to my hearing.
Andrew has a unique ability to look at the facts, makes sense of your case, and then present them in a very intelligent and articulate way. Andrew is the entire reason I now have joint custody of my 4-month-old son and that he is being returned to his home state.
I am immensely grateful to Andrew for his hard work in fighting for my rights as a father. I absolutely recommend Andrew as an attorney. My only regret is that I did not find Andrew initially. Child custody cases are very expensive so it is critical that you hire an attorney that will work hard and fight for your parental rights. Andrew Rheingrover is that man.

Andrew has been a huge blessing and supporter in my case! I spoke to him in a consultation a couple of months prior to my separation and he took his time and listened and took notes of everything that I said to him. After speaking with him, I knew immediately that he was who I wanted to represent me if I needed him ( I had spoken to 3 other attorneys prior to meeting Andrew). Shortly after my separation, I had papers served to me from my ex to try and get full custody of our daughter. I was devastated, hurt and in disbelief that my ex would ever do something like this. I immediately contacted Andrew to let him know what was going on and he jumped on my case instantly. Andrew is very caring, knowledgeable, and a man of his word. Throughout this process he has been very pro-active and with all the stress that comes along with a separation/divorce/custody case; Andrew has a way to put you at ease. I have full trust that Andrew has my best interest and truly grateful to have him as my attorney. He is just phenomenal! Also, I can not leave out Jane (paralegal). She is truly just an Angel! She's very informative and responsive and just overall awesome. I would definitely recommend Andrew to anyone who is dealing with a divorce/custody battle!

He did a great job for me in my family law matter. He helped me out in a bad situation. I could have saved myself some grief if I had contacted him sooner. I didn't have proper documents filed with the family court system and that put me in a postion to be lied about. There was a fight with my ex and Ken helped me put it all straight. It ended that matter so I was very pleased. I highly recommend him.

I was recommended to Kenneth by my Chiropractor. It was the best advice I've ever been given. Ken is funny, but, serious, honest, laid back, straightforward and doesn't beat around "the bush" to waste your time or money. He tells it "like it is" and I couldn' have asked for a better person to handle my case. I trust him 100% and have no doubts.

He's my family lawyer & fights for what is right, always available to answer a question or if i'm upset about something calms me down to reality. He's also an excellent Personal Injury Attorney as well, wished I would had used him instead after I was released from care from my dual rear end car accident in 11/06 he advised me the chriopractor that I was seeing had practiced medical malpractice due to the care that was going on so he's very informational & great personaltiy you'll love him.

Ms. Morozova's compassionate nature and empathetic demeanor were also remarkable. She understood the emotional toll that family cases can have on individuals, and she consistently provided a supportive and understanding presence. Her genuine care for my well-being went beyond her legal duties and made a significant difference in my overall experience.
Thanks to Ms. Morozova's expertise, dedication, and unwavering commitment, my complex family case reached a successful resolution. I am immensely grateful for her exceptional service and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance in family matters. Ms. Morozova's professionalism, knowledge, and compassionate approach truly set her apart as an outstanding lawyer.

Aaron helped me with my contentious divorce. He communicated regularly with me, responded quickly to emails and phone calls, and made sure I understood everything that was happening. He didn't mind explaining things and answered all of my questions in detail.
Unfortunately, we had to go to trial (not at all his fault, the ex refused to negotiate a settlement) but Aaron did a great job for me. He was very calm and sure, and presented my case very well before the judge. In the end, I was awarded almost everything we asked for.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Aaron for anyone needing his services.

Today I had the pleasure of meeting Blair Streitenberger of Lowcountry Legal Solutions, LLC. I consulted with Blair by phone. His phone consults make it easy and affordable to get legal guidance.
He is true to his mission statement "Our goal is to help you reduce the stress of life through competent, efficient, and friendly legal services."
I found Blair to be a knowledgeable and highly competent attorney, as well as a kind and compassionate fellow with a the heart of a helper.
Make no mistake, he is also a fighter for the cause of his clients and he will go to battle with the will of a warrior, accepting nothing short of victory.
If you need legal services pertaining to trusts, wills, power of attorney, estate planning, or family court matters, you will do well to speak with Blair first! My impression was that he is not about helping his clients achieve the greatest value for their dollar, and ultimate success in legal challenges.

And for what it’s worth he doesn’t nickel and dime you on every tiny little thing.

I would highly recommend Linda Kerns and I do regularly to friends and colleagues. I have used Linda's services on several occasions but most recently with help purchasing a house. Linda is extremely thorough and knowledgeable. She was very persistent about checking the footprint of the property during inspection and thank goodness as the deed of record was incorrect and needed to be amended. She kept everything else in check and is very responsive whatever the time of day.
It is obvious that Linda enjoys her work, but more importantly it is clear that she takes great pride in doing things to the very best of her ability. She demonstrates great integrity and is very much in control of any situation. Her principle focus is family law and frankly if you are getting divorced you should hire Linda as you do not want to find yourself on the other side of the table!

Words can not describe what having Melissa in my corner meant to me.
I was a wreck after being surprised one evening by someone at my door serving me a petition to modify the custody arrangement my ex and I agreed to just a year prior. As a single father fighting to keep primary custody of my two children I knew the odds were stacked against me. But after doing a lot of research and a couple of interviews with other attorneys I found myself meeting with Melissa and I hired her immediately. I left that meeting KNOWING everything was going to be ok, and I was right. Every phone call was answered immediately, every e-mail was promptly replied to, and if I needed some face time I got it.
She is the one you want in your corner. If you find yourself looking across the courtroom and she's on the other side, be nervous...very nervous.

Jennifer is a thorough, hardworking and smart attorney who accomplished everything she promised. I went to her in December of 2011 to handle my divorce.

I remember the day I was referred to Mrs.Gordon I was in a very dark space, 100% depressed, and ready to just give up. Mrs. Gordon listened to my concerns and situations. I had multiple child support cases that were very expensive causing me to constantly fall behind. Not to mention I suffered a major injury yet bills and child support continued to pile up. I didn't know what I was going to do. Needless to say Mrs. Gordon had a plan and she began work on a long and lengthy process. I'll spare those details, let's just say I have never had the experience of having a lawyer that was compassionate, caring, and an just an all around good person. I highly recommend hiring Mrs. Gordon. Not only did she help me get through some very tuff times she got my payments reduced to some thing I can manage. Today I'm very hopeful that things are looking better for this guy. Keep being the awesome person and lawyer that you are. Many THANKS from my family!!!!

I came in to speak with Mrs. Gordon about a case of mistaken identity on a DNA test. She was extremely understanding and very empathetic about the whole situation. When it came time for court we spoke briefly then she spoke with the judge. When she came back to speak with she informed that I would have to take one more DNA test and she explained my situation to the judge. She assured me that this would be the only time I would have to take another one. Fast forward to the next court date and after the judge does roll call and spoke with the clerk she tells me everything has been dismissed and I'm free to go.

I was maliciously attacked by a room mate that knew ways in which to manipulate the boundaries of the law for his personal spite towards me. Having been referred to by a neighbor I sought out Mrs Gordon for legal help after this room mate filed a false order of protection against me. Upon meeting and reviewing my case, I had instant confidence in her ability. That confidence showed in the court room as in the middle of proceedings, the judge stopped the hearing and dismissed all allegations that had been placed on me calling all charges against me ridiculous.

Lexa has been nothing short of a blessing in countless ways! Her extensive expertise in divorce, child custody, and Texas family law was critical in successfully assisting me in a brutal divorce. She is always quick to respond and ensure I am thoroughly advised of my rights throughout various complicated situations (that at times continue post-divorce). From negotiating a fair separation of the estate, joint custody of my two children, and tactfully helping me navigate numerous threats from the other party, she was able to expedite the process through mediation assistance, avoiding going to court, and saving me thousands of dollars + months of time and anguish.
In addition, she assisted me in getting my child support set up through the state and recommending an excellent children's counselor to assist my children in dealing with the entire devastating process that divorce inevitably leads to.
You will not regret hiring Lexa to represent you! She has my absolute strongest personal recommendation and never ending gratitude!

I hired Nate to negotiate and settle a joint home property in Marin with a former partner. His approach is straight-forward and honest. He sets clear goals and a reasonable timeline to get results. He was respectful and sensitive to my questions and needs at all times. He gave me his best shot at the cost and was mindful that he would do his best to keep my attorney fees to a minimum. He establishes good relationships with the people in his network and has earned the respect of his peers and the judge who we mediated with.
I enthusiastically recommend Nate James because he is experienced, smart, and a good guy.

Divorce is a very personal matter and I had very little knowledge about the legal process. I needed an attorney who understands what I wanted and be able to deliver. I wanted to keep my share of the assets. I wanted to have sole custody of my child. I wanted the divorce process to settle as quickly as possible. Nate came highly recommended and I was glad he was my attorney. He acted professionally with explanation that I can understand. He made recommendations on matters that I had not thought of such as child support. My divorce was settled in a reasonable time and I got what I had asked for.

I was going through an 'amicable' divorce with my husband and we agreed on how to split our assets. Being a paralegal, I was able to complete and file most of my own paperwork with the court. However, I needed the assistance of an attorney to draft a marital settlement agreement that would be acceptable to the courts and be in accordance with the law. I was referred to Nate by an attorney friend of mine. Nate and I met and I laid out the facts of my agreement with my husband. Nate accepted to work with me on the settlement agreement aspect of my divorce without asking to take over my entire divorce matter. Nate quickly grasped the issues at hand, and drafted a marital settlement agreement accordingly. He is very knowledgeable about all aspects of family law, including the laws governing retirement accounts and retirement funds which often become an issue in divorce matters. There were only minor changes to Nate's initial draft of the agreement and we were able to complete the process in a reasonable and timely manner. During the process, Nate was on vacation for some time, but despite being out of state, he would respond to my questions immediately and address any issues that came up during that time. Nate was also very mindful of keeping his legal fees within reason and he never wasted any time in meetings, phone calls or e-mails. I greatly value Nate's legal services, his professionalism, and his knowledge of the law and highly recommend Nate to anyone.

When you hear him say compassionately. He really lives his work ethic up to that standard. He goes over and beyond any lawyer iv ever attempted to talk to. And he is not afraid of a fight. Iv personally got to watch him really dish it out and win and be correct on multiple occasions! And he treats you like a person not a check and takes his time to EXPLAIN EVERYTHING IN DETAIL!

Mcgraw law has been a heaven sent. Our situation (custody) has been extraordinary with many curve balls. Hes handled all of them with confidence even at times where i was extremely doubtful of my luck. He got me way more than what i expected and was incredible in the court room. I totally recommend him to anyone who wants an attorney who actually cares about you and your problems rather than just for your money! He is absolutely amazing.

The attorney I've used before was too busy and handed over my case to sejuoh. She is precise and on point so when I needed a lawyer again this year I had no hesitation when my case was again handed to her. Laws were new this year and yet she went above and beyond to make sure everything was as correct as possible for the court. She dots her i's and crosses her t's. She doesn't take any shortcuts and she made sure my case got done in a speedy manor cuz I was on a definite timeline this time around. She is very professional and truly cares about the cases she takes on. She makes sure her clients are a main priority. I highly recommend her and I'd definitely use her again.

It can be difficult to decide which Family Law attorney/law firm may offer the best, most comprehensive representation for your specific needs. Based on our experience we strongly recommend Stenzel Law Office (Gary Stenzel, owner), and particularly attorney Seju Oh. Because our case was uniquely complex, we needed an outstanding attorney. Ms. Oh is exceptionally knowledgeable, has an excellent commitment to her clients and an incomparable and uncompromising degree of integrity that has earned her a good deal of respect both in the legal community and among her clients. Equally important, Ms. Oh consistently kept us informed throughout the case. If you have family issues critical enough to require legal guidance, it is imperative to have an impeccable legal team representing your interests and protecting your rights. We are confident that Seju Oh and Stenzel Law are that team. So confident, in fact, that we would hire them again, should the need arise.

I had a really bad situation come up involving my child and the spouse of their maternal aunt’s. It was an absolute emergency situation for them. I raised issues with their mother to try to come up with a game plan to keep our child safe only to have her and her entire family treat me as though this was a fabrication. It was obvious at that moment I needed a lawyer and I started making calls…one call actually to Hiba.
She gave me some advice over the phone and I hired her the next day. She moved very quickly, filed ex parte emergency change of custody and within the week my child was safe in my home.
We did proceed with a RFO for a custody change due to the fact my child’s mother and their family continued to protect the perpetrator, and after that hearing my child was in my primary physical custody.
This all happened very very quickly and I would have been at a complete loss without Hiba. She saved my child from a very bad situation and protected me along the way. She answered every question I had (even the ones that didn’t need to be addressed and stemmed from anxiety over the situation) and was kind courteous and a complete champion for us.
I would 100% hire her again and I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Hiba!!

I called Ms Benny’s office for the first time on a Thursday morning. Tom, the man that answered the phone was thorough and professional, took my information, confirmed my case was something the office could handle, and gave me instructions to get documentation to the office for the attorney to review and call me back for the free consultation. Ms Benny called promptly when she said she would and had clearly familiarized herself with the details of my case to make the best use of the free consultation hour. During the consultation she helped explain to us how things worked in court, that we had not been aware of before, and offered solutions for my case that I wasn’t even aware were possible. We decided to hire her.
The hearing in my case was only six days away, but Me Benny and her staff got to work immediately. They were able to negotiate a settlement with opposing counsel that I believe best protected all parties involved. She and her staff are caring, very knowledgeable, and very efficient. While they are not the least expensive attorneys in the area, they are worth every penny. She made one of the worst times in my life vastly less stressful and helped me reach an outcome I didn’t think was even possible. I will recommend Ms Benny to anybody I know looking for a family lawyer.

I hired Hiba last year to represent me during my divorce and child custody battle.
To be honest, none of that was good, especially for a single dad in the state of California. That being said, Hiba did a great job at keeping me accountable and ensuring I did what I needed to do on my end, which would allow her to do what she needed to in order to best help me while encouraging me throughout this difficult process.
There was a lot of really good communication, And I know Hiba mitigated a lot of potential negatives from happening to me with just how aggressive and thorough her approach was.
I know I wasn’t the easiest client...there was a lot of pressure and stress that came along with the circumstances... but I think what separates Hiba from other attorneys, is the level of customer service, honesty and empathy that I saw from her while going through all of that.
Divorce can be a total pain, but Your attorney doesn’t have to be!

He put a great deal of time and effort in on my behalf and I am grateful that he took my case.

My wife and are so blessed we found Scott. His professionalism and work ethic is second to none. When he joined our legal case to represent us, we had already had a different attorney working with us. We needed something more. So Scott was recommended to us. After meeting with him, we felt like this was someone we needed on our team. Right away he went to work. Scott took so much pressure off mine and my wife's shoulders. When going through a very emotional situation, it is great to have someone their for you to guide you with sincerity. We will forever be grateful for Scott and how he helped us. If you are looking for for legal help in any way, Scott is the guy you need. "

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.
