Kyndra Griffin was so very helpful with the entire process. I went to her with multiple tickets. She wasn't to expensive and she gplot all my charges dismissed. She was very nice, respectful, and very knowledgeable through the whole process. I would recommend her for any legal situation you may have.

I found Ms. Griffin after conducting searches online and reading reviews. I contacted her office, she immediately returned the call. She answered all my questions, and explained in detail how she could help with my traffic violation. She handled my case from start to finish and kept me updated via email every step of the way. I appreciate her help with my case and would use her again myself and recommend highly to others.

I have only needed a lawyer a few times in my life. This was the best experience I have had. I have never had a lawyer communicate so well and quickly. Also she did all the footwork on my case. I never had to take a step in the courthouse. I highly recommend Kyndra Griffin to anyone who values priorities and communication.

My son and I hired Heather for a child support case. She was very knowledgeable, professional, courteous and most important, totally responsive. She kept us to date on everything and counseled us on how best to proceed. She negotiated and mitigated retroactive support payments and her fees were reasonable and clearly accounted for. We highly recommend Heather and would not hesitate to use her again.

I was refrred to Ms. Bachman by my sister who used to work with her. I wasn't sure if I wanted to proceed with my divorce now but I wanted answers to many questions so that I could make an informed decision. I contacted Ms. Bachman and we made arrangements for a consulation. We spoke for quite a while. She was sympathetic and very kind during this trying time. She seemed very knowledgeable on the subject matter and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. I have contacted Ms. Bachman several times since our initial meeting with addition questions. She was always prompt in returning my call and pleasant to talk to. I was reluctant to contact a lawyer but since I got Ms. Bachman, I'm glad I did.

MR. ELIZANDO handled my divorice that I started on my own. I found out it was going to be a lot more difficult than I thought. The Pandemic and other obstacles where getting in the way for me. I happen to run into Gus at the golf course explained to him what was happening and he said stop by and speak with him. Which I did and explained everything to him and he made me feel so comfortable and stress free. I can say that he handled himself in the most professional manner with me and while we where in court. He was as cool as can be when under pressure during the negotiations. I am grateful to Mr. Elizondo for the outcome of my divorce.
I even made it clear to him that he will be my Attorney going forward.
If you need legal advice he is the right Attorney for you.
Thanks Gus

Bob was my attorney for a very complex divorce and I have consulted with him several times since then on other matters. I would highly recommend him to anyone and my experience has been that he listens very carefully to his clients, paying close attention to what their expectations and needs are throughout the process while working diligently to ensure a desired outcome. His many years of experience and knowledge of family law is evident as well and he is skillful in court, clearly advocating for his client. I have great respect for him both as an attorney and an individual.

Jacey is a wonderful attorney, she is a realist that maintains personability. She is a force to be reckoned with in the court room, she won't sugar coat the reality of your situation. She secured my divorce and primary custody of my daughter. I have much more confidence since retaining Jacey in December of 2016. She does not back down, a person would never regret having her in the chair sitting next to them in the court room. Five stars just doesn't cut it but it's the best rating I could give. She goes above and beyond.

I felt very comfortable with Stephen Bielke and my case was handled with a high degree of professionalism.

Attorney Beilke is very knowledgeable on Wisconsin family law, and so when I asked him questions, he had ready answers, which saves time. He was aware that I had a tight budget and so he let me know what I could do on my own vs. paying him to do, to help keep my costs down. He was also unflappable when the opposing party became contentious.

After consulting several attorneys, Mr. Routhier was outstanding right from the start.
He dug into the details of my case and it was dismissed on a technicality!
Being from out of state others told me I would have to return to court and enter a program or go to jail and face a license suspension. All very cookie cutter outcome at much higher rates compared to the excellent service I received from Mr. Routhier. Attentive to my needs and very informative throughout the process he made sure I wouldn’t need to appear in court as it is 6 hours drive away.
Thank you Mr. Routhier, Thank you.

I contacted him online and someone from his office called and set up a call for initial consultation.I hired him after initial consultation and he took individual interest in getting the best outcome on the case. He was successful in getting a misdemeanor speeding ticket pled down to an infraction. he was very helpful throughout the case and was very straightforward on the condition of the case and what outcome I could expect. In the end, after reviewing the results of similar cases in the area, I believe he was able to get me the best deal that was possible and I would strongly recommend him.

I started my divorce process with a lawyer who did not litigate, first of all because I felt that lawyer was highly qualified, but also because I believed that it would be best to try to mediate the settlement for the benefit of myself, my now ex, and for our three children. Unfortunately, and after nearly two years of trying, it became clear that my wife preferred the scorched earth approach and that I needed to hire a litigator. My lawyer recommended that I turn to Sarah Kuhns for the help I needed to bring things to closure.
Sarah quickly understood the dynamics of my case and brought to it her knowledge of negotiating under the threat of litigation. It was a much different approach than I had been trying to date, but Sarah had a detailed understanding of the litigation process as well as a great insight as to how decisions would be made if the case went to court. She provided me with excellent advice on when to accept a part of the other side’s offer, when to reject it, and when to press for my position. She offered advice and counsel and allowed me to make the decisions based on her input. Her understanding of some of the more complex aspects of my case were infinitely helpful to me, and when there was an issue where she had an industry contact to consult, she consulted them on my behalf.
As painful as the process was given my ex-wife’s approach, we were able to come to an agreement at the eleventh hour and arrive at a settlement before facing the judge. It was stressful, but I always felt I had good guidance from Sarah and that she had solid control of the issues at hand. Her experience as a litigator was a great asset to me in trying to avoid litigation, but I knew that I would be well represented and well positioned had the matter ended up in court.
Sarah has my highest recommendation due to her knowledge, her temperament, her experience, her patience, her professionalism, and her ability and willingness to navigate negotiations with a difficult adversary under pressure. She earned every penny that she was paid, and I will forever be in her debt.

Ms. Kuhns was a true professional from the beginning to the end of my divorce proceedings. She carefully listened to what I wanted and acted accordingly. Her attention to the big and small details of my situation was impeccable. Her expertise with the financial piece of my case was outstanding. She was quick to respond to my emails and phone calls. She did not hesitate to act when needed, even when it was not convenient. She was thorough in explaining legal matters to me and ensured that I understood what my options were in various situations. She was proactive in planning for our hearing, making sure all possible scenarios where taken into account. I highly recommend her and am very grateful for this very positive experience.

Tim seemed to be genuinely concerned about my situation and my desire to fulfill my obligations, even though things haven't gone as planned lately. He really helped me understand what my options were - and he did it in a way that made me feel that he was going to bat for me. I am so thankful, and I'd recommend Tim to anyone who needs a helping hand.

Mr. Smith is highly unusual as an attorney. He could best be described as "old School". He is very kind and forms a personal relationship with his clients. He truly cares about the person as well as their case. He is a former judge and knows the inside scoop in Mecklenburg County Courts. He discussed with me all my options. Mr. Smith was able to handle my legal problem with results that exceeded my expectations.

When all hope was lost I stumbled upon Mrs. Crawford through a google search. I had no idea of the firm or her excellence specifically. I had, up to this point, my other sought after representation fail me miserably and had been misguided and unruly dealt with by the Chesapeake Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court on multiple occasions. I had literally given up hope in that I would never get to be apart of my sons life the way that I wanted to be. With having already spent a great deal of time and money in the matter I was just drained physically, mentally, and financially. For any father who has dealt with our broken system, its supposed ultimate 'judges of character,' and their puppets, you will know that it is not an easy road to travel. With the encouragement of a few and with nothing to lose I went for it one last time. The day I sat down with her in the quiet and rather small but warming confines of her office I explained and expressed to her in probably a quite disgruntled way, as perceived by Mrs. Crawford, my situation. All my insecurities changed within the 30 minutes I was there, of course I was not entirely sold yet but that was just the beginning. Skipping forward to the best part; Now my relationship with my little boy is stronger than ever and so is he, academically, mentally, physically, and socially. I am not saying that Mrs. Crawford can work miracles, you have to go to her with a good foundation in yourself and the reasons for your requests but she definitely takes care of it from there. After all was said and done I felt that I owed her so much more than money.

My husband has used Mr. Price for several family law issues, and we have been very satisfied with his work and responsiveness, both of which were problems for us with other attorneys. Mr. Price is not a barracuda--he's not out to win--he's out to find a reasonable solution to tough problems, which is what any family attorney should be doing, in my opinion. There are no winners in family court, after all.
I love that he is honest with us, even when it's truth we don't want to hear. I respect that, and him, immensely.

Michael has been outstanding in protecting, and guiding me through what has unfortunately been a tumultuous divorce process. He has vigorously protected my rights and successfully defended me through what should have been an amicable divorce. Every step of the way, Michael and his staff have been there to answer my questions, and explain the next steps when I wasn't sure. He also has eased my mind many times when things became almost unbearable during this process. His expertise and longevity in Family Law has proven that the only way to go when going through a divorce, is with an attorney who "specializes" in Family Law. Thank you, Michael and staff. I am only posting anonymously, out of respect for the privacy of both parties involved. I hired Michael, after interviewing three other attorneys in the area, because he took the time to hear my concerns and answer questions on the first phone call I made to him. He spoke with me personally, and didn't just pass me off to a scheduler. I was able to determine with my first phone call, if he was the right fit for me. When an attorney speaks with you personally so you can save time and not have to schedule a consultation weeks out, you make a better informed decision that helps you want to schedule that consultation. In the beginning when realizing my marriage was unsalvageable, waiting a week or more to speak with an attorney was adding to the stress of an already fast moving stressful situation. I was able to meet with him within a few days, and the next day he had filed the divorce complaint and requested a pendente lite hearing to protect marital assets and request temporary spousal support.

I was referred to Hirsch & Ehlenberger by a family friend in early 2017 to handle my divorce. Among the attorney's I met and worked with, was Sharon Pederson. During the course of the divorce proceedings, which is of course a very tumultuous time, Sharon took the time to answer all of my questions regardless of how big or small they were, and was the calming voice when times were stressful. Sharon was very responsive to phone calls and e-mails and provided many options to me and also listened to my viewpoints on how to proceed during the course of my divorce.
Sharon is very knowledgeable in family law and allowed me to work hand in hand with her and her firm to successfully rectify a very stressful situation. I would recommend Sharon's service to anyone who may find themselves in a similar situation.

Sharon worked alongside my primary lawyer, Brian Hirsch. The case involved my ex suddenly stopping spousal support with out going through the courts and then suing me to stop support altogether. She was my main point of contact and did most of the research thorough discovery. She was always available and supportive. She did an excellent job of combing through the discovery and coming up with data for argument. I always felt like this team was listening to my concerns and input. The outcome was favorable for me. I will hire them again if it ever becomes necessary.

Mrs. Scales represented me in my divorce. She did everything she could to help explain the law to me. I received even more than what I thought that I was entitled to. She and her staff were professional and courteous throughout my divorce. I appreciate her help and will use her for any future cases. Her fees were reasonable and I hope my ex-husband is still having nightmares after our final hearing.

From the beginning of the process to the end, Ms. Scales was professional, extremely knowledgeable and well prepared. I never once felt uneasy or unsure going into a hearing. She would always let me know beforehand what to expect at that time. Her staff was always professional and when I would call the office to ask a question regarding my case, they were extremely helpful and would call me back promptly with the answer. I found her fees to be fair and reasonable especially after talking with others who had also been through the divorce process with other attorneys.
Going through a divorce is a very unsettling time for people. It's important to find someone that will make you feel confident that they are fighting for you. I highly recommend Ms. Scales.

Theresa recently represented me as the respondent in a divorce, and she provided me with professional excellence in the midst of a contentious legal battle. Her attention to detail, quick response to any questions and extensive experience made her a delight to work with.

She is beyond tenacious and worked tirelessly to get my kids back! Additionally, the by-product of the divorce was MORE than I had hoped for. It is her unforgettable kindness and compassion that got me through that difficult time. She was a true answer to prayers! You WILL NOT find a better attorney than Althea Richardson!

Nicole and her team were beyond helpful in a long 5 year process trying to find what would work best for a long distance coparenting situation. I am now communicating well with my ex, my daughters have a visitation schedule that works well for everyone involved and we are no longer in need of legal guidance. It was a long road and Sodoma Law was supportive, informative and caring throughout the entire process. It’s a relief to finally feel ease in co-parenting. Thank you so much Sodoma Law for getting me through one of the most difficult situations in my life.

When I first decided to take steps in getting a divorce, I thought I was looking down a long, hard road. Nicole showed me that there was someone there who understood what I was going through.

I would highly reccomend Nicole and her firm to any one of my close friends or family members.

Nicole Sodoma and her entire team were nothing short of professional from the moment I first met with her. She took on my case after I made the decision to switch attorneys in what had become a very drawn out custody issue. While I understand that many attorneys will shy away from taking over a case in progress, Nicole was willing to jump right in and that made all the difference in the world regarding my relationship with my son Henry. What made me feel most comfortable (aside from her willingness to take over my case) was that I always felt she truly listened to me, cared, and understood where I was coming from. She was always upfront with me and managed my expectations realistically regardless of the circumstances and I never doubted she was going to fight as hard as she could for me.......and to me, that says is all.

Adam is an amazing and very caring man. He was there above and beyond any attorney I have ever dealt with. If it was not for Adam, I would still be fighting to get my kids back who had wrongfully been taken by the Department of Social Services. Adam fought for me with no mercy against the Department and got everything completely dismissed and my kids returned home immediately after court. I AM FOR EVER GRATEFUL AND WORDS JUST CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW THANKFUL MY FAMILY IS TO HAVE SUCH A GREAT MAN ON OUR SIDE WHO PUT OUR FAMILY BACK TOGETHER!! Thank you Adam YOUR THE BEST!!

My wife and I are going through a separation heading for divorce, and as everyone knows it's not an easy process. I was refered to Adam by a separation lawyer, and I am so glad. It didn't matter when I called him, or sent him a text. Adam always responded immediately, whether he was able to talk or not. He would let me know, and then get back to me as as possible. I have never experianced a lawyer that is willing to even take time out of a weekend on several occasions to be there when I was going through a situation,a nd guide me through the process for my protection.
If you are looking for a lawyer that will be compasionate, caring, knowledgable, shoot you straight, and guide you honestly through a sensitive situation, then Adam is the lawyer you want. Whenever anyone comes to me asking about a good lawyer, I tell them Adam Hilton.

Adam treated my case like it was his only case, he even went to the extreme of calling me at 9pm when an issue arise. He explained every step to me so I had a complete understanding, of the process, and all of the paperwork. But most importantly he won my case hands down, I don't feel like I took a lost on anything. I consider not just my attorney but a friend.

I am a professional and deal with attorneys on a regular basis in my work. I also retained several attorneys to handle various matters for me, but Mr. Culbertson proved to be among the best attorney I ever worked with or retained. Mr. Culbertson handled a custody-related issue for me during 2014, and provided excellent representation in my case that led to a successful outcome. He is a very capable, professional attorney that offers alternative approaches for addressing complex issues and does so in a simple and straightforward manner. He also suggests ways that allow the client to minimize attorney fees, and is very responsive to inquiries and questions that arise during the course of his representation. I would not hesitate to retain Mr. Culbertson in the future and would recommend him without any reservations to anyone looking for a highly skilled and experienced attorney in Fairfax County, Virginia.

I received outstanding representation in a highly disputed divorce and custody case. Mr. Culbertson was extremely attentive from start to finish. Nothing got by him. He is extremely professional and is careful about how he spends the time that you are paying for. This enables you to stretch your legal budget further which is especially important when you're headed for trial. I highly recommend him.

Kristina Cruz did an excellent job in my child custody case. I now have full custody of my son and am very happy. Miss Cruz explain everything to me as far as how my court case would go and that's just the way it went. I would strongly recommend Miss Cruz to anyone who has a child custody case.

I contacted Kristina five years ago when my ex and I separated. I specifically hired her because of her vast knowledge of military law. Since my ex husband was in the military, I knew I needed a lawyer such as Kristina. From the moment Kristina took my case, I knew she would fight hard for me. I was so impress with her attention to detail such as her research on topics such as spousal support and what exactly am I entitled to in regards to military benefits. She never gave up on me and my case. It paid off because in the end, I received everything that we requested in the divorce proceedings. My kids and I will be forever grateful to Kristina. Because of her, I am able to give my kids the life they deserve.

Kristina, supported me through a very complex divorce and custody case. The situation was very unique, complicated and emotional. Kristina demonstrated her expertise command of the law and the court systems. Kristina made this difficult situation as palatable as possible while providing me a sense of comfort that she and her firm were doing everything in their power to represent my best interests. Kristina's court presence was exceptional and it was obvious to me that the judges had great respect for her litigation skills and her command in the court room. The outcome of my case was beyond what I had expected. As a father, I was awarded full legal and physical custody of my son which is generally unheard of in the state Virginia. Also, my financial interests were protected beyond what I had expected. Cannot thank Kristina enough for her hard work and diligence with my case.

Although we certainly didn't want to be in the legal battle we found ourselves in- I am so so glad that we had Sound Family Law on our side. They fought tirelessly on our behalf and were so professional and responsive. I really don't know how they do all that they do so efficiently. Thank you Sound Family Law/Stacie, you helped a couple of scared, overwhelmed folks feel safe and empowered.

I was in need of lowering my Child support, 1 of my Boy's has already reached the age of 18 and my other is about to. I was going to handle this on my own, thinking it was a open and shut case. After reading the overwhelming snip it's online about how bad that really was to represent yourself, I started having 2nd thoughts. Then my Divorce started to flash through my head on how expensive that was to retain the Lawyer, then the court/filing fee's etc..etc.. So this time instead of looking up the top names in RI, I decided to surf the web for reasonable Attorneys. I am glad I did that and glad I came across Mr. Pearsall, he was and is nothing short of professional, called me back when needed, answered all my e-mails in a timely manner and recommended we try and get both Boy's child support terminated together so I would not have to go back to court again in 2 months. Glad to say with his help and guidance all went well today, and I am now free of Child support. Would recommend Mr. Pearsall to anyone in need of a Lawyer that will work for you.

After what I thought was a mutual and uncontested divorce I had to retain Attorney Pearsall when my X began alienating my children from me and threatening to litigate against me if I did not pay more in child support that I was required, or pay her additional monies she was not entitled to. I unfortunately handled the case PRO SE and made a few legal errors which came back to haunt me. Attorney Pearsall was able to block litigations against me attempting to extract additional monies, and get a court ruling providing for once a week parenting time with my minor daughter. If I had retained his services instead of going it PRO SE things would have been so much easier and turned out so much better for me and my kids.

I was served with divorce papers only one week before a court hearing and was expected to answer. By law 30 days are required to answer. I had no idea how to proceed with this under the stress I was in on such short notice. I was desperate to find legal representation at the last minute. Beside the fact of the stress I was under because my husband was divorcing me for another woman. Having little experience at this situation left me anxious and afraid. I did an internet search for local attorneys and stumbled upon attorney Christopher Pearsall's website www.rhodeislanddivorcetips.com. Being a skeptic, I scoured the internet to find reviews on Attorney Pearsall's work. He seemed like an honest guy so I took a chance. Under the time constraints, Attorney Pearsall came through for me literally the day of my hearing. He handled everything for me with the utmost professionalism and reassured me that everything would turn out alright. Attorney Pearsall also did not charge me an arm and a leg for his service like some attorneys. He kept me informed while waiting for my husband's attorney to file the final documents, late once again. Going through a divorce is tough enough, make sure you get a professional attorney that is concerned for your interest. Attorney Christopher Pearsall is that person. He will prove that to you. I highly recommend attorney Christopher Pearsall.

After my wife filed for divorce, I had no idea what to expect. Wendy was recommended to me by a friend, and I could not have been happier with the service provided. From the outset, Wendy put my mind at ease and walked me through the process at each and every step.
When comparing the documents prepared by Wendy to the documents prepared by the opposing attorney, I could tell that Wendy was a true professional. The extra time that Wendy put into these documents, as well as the time she spent reviewing with me showed that she cared for the outcome, and had the best interest of myself and my daughters at heart. The outcome from the divorce was way better than I expected, and I have Wendy to thank for that.
I would not hesitate in recommending Wendy to anyone who is going through the painful process of divorce.

Divorces are stressful, emotional, a financial burden and there are legal aspects that just don’t make sense or seem fair. I tried representing myself only to find opposing attorney trying to take advantage of me, that is when I turned to the law office of Wendy Zicht. Wendy started off just advising me until I found a need to have her on my side fulltime. Wendy helped me navigate the legal aspects and got me back on track when my emotions took over. I can not say enough about her knowledge of the laws, her ability to empathize and all-around professionalism. I had a choice of many attorneys to guide me through my divorce, I know I made the right choice in hiring Wendy.

I used Patrick for my divorce case. From the very first time I talked to him over the phone, I knew that I was going to have a great attorney. He explained things and made sure I knew what was to come. Even if it was something I didn't want to hear, he told me anyway to make sure that I knew what could happen. Turns out, he was right about all that he had told me.
Patrick stayed in close contact with me and updated me often to make sure I knew where my case was. He worked very hard to get me what I deserved and wanted.
We had a chance to settle that morning before court. I wanted to settle it to just have it over with but Patrick knew that I was cutting myself short and fought to get me what I deserved. My case unfortunately wound up in front of the judge. This to me, is where Patrick shined the most. He's very very good at his job and that was evident during the trial. Not only did I get what I had asked for, I got more. All thanks to Patrick.
In the future, if I ever have to retain an attorney again, he will be my go to guy. I was very pleased, and have already recommended him several times.

Patrick was concerned, informative, and full of sound advice from the very beginning of the consultation and then all through the divorce process. At no time did he ever leave a meeting with an open question or at least not having a plan of action.
Patrick was very thorough, always prompt with responses to my questions, and his follow up procedures leave nothing to be desired.
Patrick's knowledge of the law is without question and his ability to translate the law into layman's terms put me at complete ease from our very first meeting. Even from the consultation he was prompt to point out all the steps that the case would take and how we would address those issues.
Patrick also has an uncanny ability to make you feel comfortable and is gregarious by nature.
Going forward Shepherd Law firm will represent my personal and estate needs as the firm handles a variety of legal cases. I could not have been more pleased with their service, nor with the outcome of my case, all to the credit of Patrick.

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.
