After having a very negative experience with two attorneys previously, regarding a civil case my husband and I were involved in , I learned of Attorney Natalie Phillips, quite by accident.
Immediately upon meeting with Natalie, I could tell she was very different from the others. I was struck by how personable she is, as well as the way she intently listened to our issues and concerns, without making a snap judgment or jumping to conclusions. She took her time in speaking with us during our initial consultation, and offered reasonable advice and solutions to our immediate pressing issues.
She worked closely with us to find a viable solution to our on-going, nearly four-year nightmare, and she did it quickly, professionally, and was able to complete it all within our very tight budget.
Natalie Phillips ALWAYS returned my calls or emails quickly, and was able to do in 3 weeks, what the other attorneys we worked with were unable to do in nearly four years!!!
Had it not been for Natalie’s willingness to step up to the plate on our behalf, our nagging legal issues would NEVER have ended. My family and I are eternally grateful to her for her assistance.
I would NEVER hesitate to utilize Natalie’s services again, if needed. She is TRULY the best of the best!
If you are looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, professional, helpful, proactive, and actually cares about the clients they represent, look no further. Natalie Phillips is not only a wonderful human being, she is truly a one in a million attorney!

Josh Tracey is a superhero in divorce law. He quietly but firmly negotiates the best deal possible, and in my case, a better deal than I could imagine. My ex *really* doesn't like him.

Josh was very clear in explaining the process, the laws and how they benefited me in my case, and was passionate about getting what was fair and best for me. He coordinated our meetings in the suburbs so that I did not have to travel into Boston which was a great asset.

Mr Ortiz represented me in my divorce case. My ex husband and I had a business in common which complicated the divorce. Greg was very understanding of my situation and saw the case through to the end. I was very pleased with the ruling. He later also represented me in a court hearing for contempt and one for modification of child support and maintenance and I was also pleased with the outcome. His rates are very fair and he is very trustworthy as an attorney. I highly recommend Mr Ortiz and feel like the work he did for my case was the deciding factor in getting a fair ruling from the court.

I was in a very difficult divorce where I had just lost jurisdiction. Thus, the case was going to be handled in Colorado, rather than Virginia, where I live. My attorney in Virginia was incredibly bad, and I wasted a lot of money on that short case alone (I shouldn't have lost).
I was referred to Greg by a colleague of my father's from another state. I am incredibly grateful that I found Greg. One would assume that having a divorce attorney located literally across the country would be frustrating. It was not, in any way. The distance could have been a mile, and it would not have been any different. He not only kept me constantly informed, but he was also incredibly accessible. While most attorneys are available during business hours, or by phone and email, Greg was even accessible via text. Who does that?! Thus, if I had an emergency, or quick advice, he was swift to answer. And it's not like he was charging me for every little bit of communication. He was honest, and he was good.
Greg listened to my concerns and reviewed the case honestly. He didn't pull punches, and he was always candid with me about the likelihood of winning. He kept me even keeled, gave me excellent advice, and above all, he was wise in everything he did. Wisdom is an extremely rare trait to have. He has it in abundance. It's not knowledge. It's not smarts. It's different.
In the end, I won! It's difficult enough being a male in a divorce/custody case. It's even more difficult when you're in the military and live in Virginia. But I won. And while some things dropped in our laps, I owe my win to Greg. I am forever grateful to him.

This is the first time I've had to hire a lawyer for anything. I wasn't really sure what to expect but Andrea was very forthcoming about what was needed and explained everything so that I understood. She kept me informed about where things were with my case.
More than any of the above, she was very friendly, caring and supportive of my needs. It meant a lot during a sensitive time for me and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her for your needs!

Having dealt with a number of divorce attorneys , Mr.Salvatore is a welcome change from the norm.The firm came highly recommended and did not disappoint in any way . Every member there worked as a cohesive whole to make sure the client was well cared for .Mr.Salvatore not only listened to the background of the case and my concerns,but remembered the details and addressed them in a wise ,effective manner . My case was complicated by the non-compliance of the "ex",despite court orders . Much research and many motions were necessary to work through the mess .There is currently another enforcement motion to be heard . Mr Salvatore seems a kind and thoughtful man who keeps the best interests of the client at heart and follows through to protect and insure their rights . Divorce can be a time of pain,confusion and turmoil .It is comforting to have such a lawyer in your corner. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr.Salvatore to anyone .

Mrs. Brooke Archbold is a dynamic attorney! She took my case and was involved while keeping me in the loop the entire time. She’s extremely thorough and focused when it comes to her clients. She leaves no stone unturned. Professional, kind and caring. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney.

Brooke took in my case after my previous lawyer closed her practice. She focused on the best for my child and made sure I did as well. She guided me in what we could do and what we couldn’t do but ultimately the choice was mine. She was caring and supportive and genuinely wanted to help. She knew how to proceed to make sure I was heard and she was great at responding as well. I was never left in the dark and I always felt that mine and my child’s best interest came first. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a family lawyer.

Ms. Archbold took on my case and made sure that the very unclear information I had received from the other party was reviewed, clarified, and then assured me that we would be able to get a favorable result. Something that could have cost me well over $35,000 was settled for $5,000. I was very impressed with how she dug into the case and researched exactly what statutes applied and made the best argument possible on my behalf. She took a situation that had me very concerned and allayed those fears with logic and reason. Any legal situation can be emotionally challenging, but I felt completely supported and her communication was clear and reasonable at all times.

I want to say Attorney Brian McCann and his staff are awesome. I was hesitant to let him take my case because of the long distance. I started looking online for attorneys and spoke to many. What made Brian unique was the time he took with me on the phone he was not rushing me to get to the point of the case he let me say everything I wanted to say, other lawyers just did not want to hear everything they wanted just the reason of me calling them. I am in a different state but he heard me out without hesitation he started working on my case and within a week and a half case closed. I would recommend him to anyone he was on top of everything and takes the time to thoroughly listen to you.

Brian's law firm took the finest care of my case. I was floundering for 3 years with another attorney until I was recommended to Cavalli and McCann. From day one, Brian demonstrated competence and a sincere thoughtfulness that allowed me to focus on what was necessary and not stress out over what wasn't. There were a lot of factors in my case and I stood to lose everything. I lost nothing!! His legal knowledge, practical common sense and understanding of the court and the players really paid off.

Brian is undoubtedly one of the best local attorneys in his field. He is well known and highly respected by the family judges and the opposing attorneys in the area. Brian has been passionate about my case and has protected the best interests of my children for several years. I highly recommend him to anyone that may be facing an aggressive spouse.

She made the process of divorce so easy. Due to the nature of the case(Domestic violence and children involved) her experience really reassured me. I appreciated that she was always just an email away and if I needed to schedule some time to actually talk over the phone about something she was usually able to get me in fairly quickly. She didn't use legal jargon, instead she made sure to explain the process in a way I was able to understand. I would not have been able to go through this process alone and Esther was the best choice in representation. If she was unable to assist personally, someone from the firm was able to step in and make sure I was taken care of. I highly recommend Esther!

Esther is hands-down the absolute greatest! She has been a constant advocate for me and never backs down. She is reasonable and listens. She has navigated my divorce with grace and consistency. She is extremely knowledgeable and knows the ins-and-outs of it all. She is thorough and her expertise shows. I keep telling people that working with her is the best money I have ever spent. If you need someone to go to bat for you - choose Esther, every time!!

Ms. Brilliant took on my case as the Plaintiff in a contested Order of Protection. I am so appreciative of her management and care in my case. She went over the details as often as we needed to so she could understand the full scope, beginning to end, and her honesty, compassion and professionalism one-on-one and in court were a tremendous comfort. If you're in the unfortunate circumstance of heading to a hearing, get ahold of Esther. She's the best.

I was a client of Mr. Weicholz in 2016. I am a domestic violence survivor and Todd made all the difference. He was always in communication with me regarding my case and any fees were clearly explained in advance. He sat with me as I cried and comforted me with honest and helpful legal advice. After being revictimized by the state and opposing attorney, Todd made it clear he would be there to represent me and my best interests only, which I felt no one else was doing. I am so grateful to both Todd and his staff for their respect and commitment to me personally and my family as well. I would never had received the positive resolution of my very emotional and difficult case without Mr. Weicholz and his advice. I would highly recommend him to all looking for a great attorney.

I had to leave my ex very suddenly, moving away from my home in California. When I arrived in Wisconsin, I knew I needed to start the divorce proceedings to break all ties, but wasn't sure how to even begin in such a convoluted situation. Chris was very understanding of the nuances of my situation and very patient with my inability to directly contact my ex. Laura (Chris' paralegal) was personally encouraging and warm towards me. They treated my case with attention to the real person (me) involved - I never felt like a checklist item to them. They helped me get everything sorted out and the whole process was quicker and smoother than I'd thought possible. I would absolutely recommend Chris Henry to anyone going through a divorce.

Chris Henry was absolutely everything that I could have asked for in a lawyer during my divorce. I would say that a divorce is probably one of the most difficult things that anyone will have to go through in their lives, and Chris was there for me every step of the way. He explained exactly what each step was, and walked me through the process. He was available whenever something came up, day or night. I felt confident going into court with Chris, knowing that we were fully prepared and ready to take on whatever we needed to that day. Chris and Laura kept me grounded throughout the entire process, when it would have been easy for me to go completely off of whatever emotion I was feeling at the moment. Chris made it possible for me to move on to my happily ever after, and I am so grateful. There are so many things that set Chris apart from the rest, and if I ever need council in the future, he'll be the first person that I call. Together, we made a great team and got through it. My family and I are so grateful to have had him around during that difficult time. He made it possible for us to move forward, and I know that I can still contact him anytime if I needed something or had a question. I recommend Christ Henry to anyone who is looking for a lawyer who will treat them with respect, be completely honest, and be that support system that people so desperately need during a divorce or custody hearing.

My attorney Laura Grumbine and her team were exceptional throughout the very difficult process of divorce. I felt supported, prepared, and protected during the postnuptial review process, then the agonizing decision to file, during mediations and hearings. Laura consistently validated my experience and also tempered my expectations with what was probable.
Laura is the most professional person that I’ve ever met. She is as cool as a cucumber before a judge. I’ve never seen her stumble over a word. When representing me, she was always prepared, always conveyed my wishes, and I never felt disappointed by something she did. She was a brilliant and effective negotiator. She had excellent professional relationships with every single party ever involved - the judge, the opposing counsel, my child’s counsel, the mediator, etc. I was always in awe of her and deeply grateful that I somehow had the great fortune to have her as my attorney.

My experience with my divorce was not that bad. It was not a typical divorce. It was very amicable. But I am the exception to the rule. I am certain if you are going through a divorce process it will not be as friendly as mine.
Laura Grumbine (my attorney) and Kate Koscheski (Paralegal) made this life event as smooth as possible.
Kate regularly updated me with the status of my case and made requests of any documents needed. She also was there to remind me if I forgot (which happens too often) or ommited anything.
Divorce is never an easy process for anyone. Laura made sure I stayed focused and helped me achieve a settlement outcome that I was pleased with.
I highly recommend Laura, Kate and Deyerle Silva Smith for your Family Law needs.

I cannot begin to express my gratitude for how painless my attorney, Laura Grumbine made the divorce process. For our initial consultation she outlined how the divorce progression would work and answered any questions I had as expediently as possible. She also was very aware of my financial situation and offered suggestions to mitigate attorney’s fees. During the entire process she was responsive, professional, and adept. I could not be any happier at the outcome from mediation. She was able to attain for me a 90/10 split…. This is HUGE, my retirement will NOT be divided, and I could not be any happier. Thank you SO much Laura!

It is now about 10 years since Attorney Steiner handled a divorce and custody case for our family. Without her thorough knowledge of legal theory and unwavering pursuit of pertinent evidence a child's life would have been subjected to very unfortunate circumstances. She made us feel that our case was the most important matter she was handling. She has a relationship with the court and related legal entities that give her an advantage over her opponents. She doesn't recognize the words "giving in" and has only one goal, to win.

I have been working with Family Law Attorney, Tali Collins, for 2 years, and she is by far the best attorney that I have worked with for ongoing family law litigation. She is very approachable, knows her legal material, is detail- orientated, has an amazing memory, knows lots of helpful resources and her fees are very reasonable.
I have worked with many attorneys who have similar skills, but want you to hire them and are not great with working with the client that wants to self represent. Because I don't have the financial resources for a retainer, Ms. Collins has worked with me in preparing legal documents, preparing for hearings, and organizing and finding exhibits. She knows what individual judges want, so I feel like I am ahead of the game and know what to expect and how to prepare when I go to the hearing.
Recently, Tali Collins helped me prepare for my latest Parenting Time Modification Hearing and I feel more prepared than I did when I hired an attorney to represent me at the last one, and it saved me thousands of dollars. Ms. Collins knows all aspects of family law and I don't think I could have worked with anyone who could prepare me as much as she has.
I am so grateful that I found Ms. Collins, she has been an immense resource for me and has been so "spot on" with helping me in past hearings and litigation. This has been a great fit for me, and I even look forward to meeting with her. Ms. Collins is so motivating, knowledgeable and understanding, that when I walk away from meetings with her, I feel supported, empowered, recharged and ready to tackle my legal battles.
Family law litigation is emotional, scary and overwhelming, but having a great family law attorney makes it so much more manageable.

Robyn represented our family in two separate matters over a span of five years. The first matter was handling my mother''s divorce. Robyn handled our case in a very professional manner while maintaining a warm demeanor. She explained everything very thoroughly and achieved the best possible outcome. The second matter came five years later and involved a sale of business real estate. Again, Robyn helped my family receive the best outcome. She is very accessible by email and telephone and responded to my inquiries in a timely manner. We always felt that our case was important to Robyn. If the need arises, we would certainly retain her services again!

Representation for my divorce was handed over to Robyn Musi with my consent although truthfully, I was reluctant to do so. My original lawyer is one of the founding partners of the firm, well established, very knowledgeable, well known and well versed in the laws and court procedures. Robyn displayed those same qualities. Having her was the best thing that could have happened. From the beginning, she took the bull by the horns as if she represented me from the start. She always presented herself with the highest level of professionalism, never wasting time and always giving sound and prudent advice. I would highly recommend her.

Robyn is the penultimate divorce attorney. She's sharp, insightful, logical, and reasonable, utilizing diplomacy when appropriate and proactive litigation when bargaining options have been exhausted. Her fees were never inflated or over-billed (in stark contrast to my experience with 2 previous divorce attorneys). I always considered her a partner who understood my unique custody and financial concerns and used her expertise to protect my children, career and personal situation in all of our legal interactions. She argued favorable rulings and negotiated difficult and complex agreements for me, in 2 separate cases, always with compassion and level-headed consideration. I recommend her without hesitation as a family law professional.

I am so thankful to have been able to use Hannah's services! Not only did she help me legally, she directed me emotionally, practically, and brought a lot of good "bed side manners" that allowed me to feel comfortable with her from day 1. She knows how to balance both professionalism and yet giving you that extra hug when needed at times. She has stayed the course and is well supported by her firm! Her paralegal is outstanding and has the most organized notebooks out there! They go the extra mile to keep you safe and legally protected. Some of my favorite lines from Hannah were .....when I was in court when she told the judge "I am here to protect my client", or "trust God and trust me", or "the truth always comes out...... I hope you don't find yourself in a situation needing an attorney, but if you need someone who picks up the phone, returns your calls, is confident, knowledgeable, loving, kind, personable, family orientated, goes at your speed, and lives her faith out in honesty and truth- call now! If you can't get her, Sarah, her partner is right there with her! They are a seem less team and I am proud to back them and tell you they're worth it! Btw- thank you to her kids and husband who support her in protecting families like mine and sacrifice "mom/wife" time to help others in need! To your mom and dad- you raised a great daughter and your dad showed you the ropes well! God speed!

In my custody/visitation battle, I've been through 2 lawyers 6K in addition to paying child support without even knowing what state my daughter was in. Some attorneys give you false hope in getting custody when others just try to find a way to charge you the most money. Before Hanna Bell, I had not seen my daughter in almost a year even though a court order for my visitation rights was in place. My case was extremely complicated due to the other party often fleeing the jurisdiction. Upon hiring her services, I located and gained immediate custody of my daughter within months. Not only is Mrs. Bell knowledgeable, she's reasonable and personable. Hanna Bell is the ONLY lawyer you should consider to represent you!

I hired Mr. Leavitt very last minute to step in and help protect my children. He calmly took all the information and went to work immediately. I was terrified and Eric was very patient in explaining what my options were. He worked diligently on my case, involving the prosecutor when it became necessary, and working long past closing time on a Friday to ensure everything was in place to protect my kids. His staff is knowledgeable and equally dedicated to serving their clients. They never made me feel like I was being ridiculous or overreacting.

I cannot say enough good things about Maureen Dunn and my experience with her over the 2+ years I had the pleasure of having her as my attorney.

Although licensed for just 4 years Ms. Dunn handled herself like a seasoned professional both in and out of the court room. She handled my case with the utmost attention to detail and was always very well prepared, knowledgeable, and articulate in my numerous one on one meetings with her and before the court.

I can’t say enough about Kelly Rizzo! She has a burning passion for family law and it shows when you talk to her. She is straightforward and very knowledgeable in her area of expertise. EVERYTHING that she predicted in my case came true. Her experience has given her the ability to strategically format a game plan that works for you and your family.
She does a great job of explaining everything to you and she is super transparent. You will know what she is thinking at all times, she will ask for your feedback and she will not make a move without getting your authorization first. All your documents, emails, and invoices are accessible for your convenience online through the Mycase portal.
This lady is a true powerhouse and has the support of the entire Hunts Law Firm if she should ever need some backup. I would not want to be the petitioner/respondent sitting across from Kelly Rizzo!
To sum it up you won't find a more morally ethical, transparent attorney that will gain 100% of your trust. An attorney that not only has yours but also your families best interest engrained in her every thought pertaining to your case.

While no one wants to have to hire a family law attorney unfortunately sometimes it is necessary. If you find yourself in the position of needing a family law attorney I HIGHLY recommend Kelly Rizzo. I hired her back in December of 2016 for a custody dispute with my ex husband. She was absolutely amazing. Kelly was on top of everything at every turn. She always clearly explained my options to me before we proceeded with anything. The billing was fair and always very well documented. If I had any sort of question I could ask her through the online portal or call and she always made sure to answer my questions very efficiently. When I had a question on a Friday night I was absolutely shocked and thrilled that she took the time to answer me that same night. I really had planned to be waiting until Monday morning for a response. I truly cannot say enough good things about Kelly Rizzo and the Hunt Law firm. Custody disputes can be very mentally and emotionally draining. Kelly made sure to make the process as easy to understand and navigate as humanly possible.

Kelly Rizzo wasn't the first lawyer I contacted but she was my first consult which ultimately led to my hiring her. Our time together was always well spent and coordinated with every detail taken into account to insure the best possible outcome in my divorce. She was tactful and strategic in her approach to my case, being kind enough to listen to my ideas while being honest and direct about how to resolve the issues at hand. Although things didn't go 100% in my favor I am assured that Kelly lead me down the path of least resistance with the greatest return on investment. Having no prior experience dealing with divorce lawyers or legal battles overall the past 6 months were made less turbulent by Kelly. Her balance of professionalism and amicability with me truly made the difference and inspired confidence and hope in her. She provided me with a binder and online tools to make sure that I was always able to communicate and upload necessary documents for my case. She guided me step by step through this arduous process facilitating even the most strenuous tasks including mediation. By the end of it all it was almost painful to relinquish Ms. Rizzo and her expertise, as if saying goodbye to a caring friend. Although I hope to never require her services for another divorce I wouldn't want anyone else in my corner fighting for me.

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.
