Dan was absolutely amazing helping us to navigate through our bankruptcy. He was very knowledgeable, calming and professional throughout each step of the process. Even after the discharge, he was always helpful and responsive. I certainly don't plan on having to go through that process again, but would definitely turn to Dan again. Highly recommend.

Danial Alter left No stone unturned for my case. I don’t believe I would have won my case without his experience and knowledge in bankruptcy Law but what separates him from other lawyers is that he treats his clients like family. Your problems become his problem and he will not stop till you get the best outcome. If your looking for a bankruptcy lawyer I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Alter.

I was an Intended Parent for a gestational surrogacy journey. Amy was a pleasure to work with every step of the way. She was always prompt and efficient. Her fees were reasonable and she was quick to answer any questions I had. When doing my research on which lawyer to choose, I asked for recommendations via a surrogacy facebook group. Amy's name repeatedly came up as the go to lawyer for all things surrogacy. I can see why she came so highly recommended. She definitely knows her stuff when it comes to surrogacy and is a true professional. You won't be sorry for choosing her as your lawyer! Her paralegal Carolyn was also a pleasure to work with as well!

I interviewed 15+ local attorneys and finally came across Lyndsay. Immediately, I knew she was it. It’s so daunting to put the fate of your future in the hands of one person but Lyndsay made me feel heard and validated my concerns right away. She was the only attorney to discuss what to expect during the process, which naturally included extended periods of time with little to no contact. The team at Ressler law are attentive and I was always able to reach someone to answer my question or concern. Lyndsay KNOWS the law and how to get her clients positive results. She was poised, passionate and powerful in the court room! Lyndsay knew every key detail to my case and was able to present those details to the judge flawlessly. In addition to her unparalleled knowledge and experience in family law she doesn’t waste her time or yours. Lyndsay is very direct and to the point but has listened to me bawl my eyes out and offered me both empathy and support in those trying moments. This was the longest, most stressful and hardest fight of my life and I can’t imagine trusting anyone else with such a pivotal moment.

It’s hard to find a genuine person in the world of Divorce/Family Attorneys. With the money and stress associated with family law, it’s important to hire someone interested in serving the needs of their clients rather racking up billable hours. Lyndsay Ressler truly is that attorney. After doing an initial consultation with Lyndsay in regards to a child support dispute, I felt very confident that Lyndsay was the right attorney for the job. The family court system is very subjective and tough to navigate. Lyndsay handled my case like the expert in the field that she is. In the end, you should pick an attorney that can get you results. Lyndsay presented the merits of my case, worked out a suitable settlement, and ultimately got the results I needed. And she did so, without charging an exorbitant rate. I was very please with my experience with Lyndsay and her team at Ressler Law and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a great attorney.

Attorney Melanie and her team have been exceptionally outstanding since retaining her for my divorce. Her stance is diligent, and one of great dignity. Her representation has always been “ to the point” and she supports her clients in all capacity. She is not an attorney that will use unnecessary tactics to delay your case because she understands the pain and hurt that it places on the children of these divorces. Her commitment and respect to you the client, and the courts as well is by far, top tier. I highly suggest anyone looking for an attorney with integrity, utilize her services. She has been around for quite awhile and she’s not an attorney “out to make a quick buck”. Her overall rating is beyond the stars the you place in these reviews, because Attorney Melanie, and her team, “still operate with high morals, ethics, principles and within law, so that the system and other unethical lawyers, don’t take advantage of her clients!!!! I could literally write a book on the service and commitment that Melanie and her team have exhibited!

I would like to give Fenwick Thompson & Associates a huge THANK YOU!! I was referred to Attorney Melanie Fenwick Thompson from an another attorney that couldn’t take my case because of the county I reside in. That attorney referred me to Attorney Melanie Fenwick Thompson. Melanie and her team provided me with a quick detailed consultation so that I could explain my case and she explained my options. Her and her team are very thorough and got my divorce moving fast. All our communication was done on there client portal for tracking purposes which really helped. This way if I couldn’t remember something I could always go back to my portal. It took about 8 months to get my divorce finalized and everything was done via email communication through the portal. I never had to appear in court or to Melanie’s office for anything. I would definitely recommend Fenwick Thompson & Associates to anyone who needs a good attorney on their side. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to represent me. Thanks again! Nyisha Clements

Prior to hiring Attorney Melanie Thompson, I made the mistake of hiring a cheap lawyer who cost me way more than money. Because I made the mistake of hiring the wrong lawyer, I had over 3 different judges look at me as a person with no dignity, no integrity, no honor, which almost caused me to lose custody of both my children (ages 1 and 4 months). After hiring Attorney Melanie Thompson, she quickly restored my dignity, integrity, and honor to the judge in court. Not only did she take me on as a new client (while she was on vacation), she showed empathy and offered another viewpoint that gave me hope. I had faith in the process and her wisdom as an experienced lawyer. I’m happy to say I have both my children and grateful that they will know me, their mother, the one who birth and cared for them, all thanks to the hard work Attorney Melanie Thompson and her team did to restore my credibility. I am truly grateful! I got more than hope back, I got my life back! Thank you all again 10 times over!!! If you are in a situation where you need a lawyer, don’t go to the cheap lawyers, they could cost you more than just money, they can cost you your life and your freedom. Hire Attorney Melanie Thompson and her team as they are professional and they will provide you impeccable representation.

I am so thankful to have had Michael help my ex and I navigate our divorce. He was a kind and warming presence during a very difficult time for me. He clearly explained the process of divorce, and helped work through the details that would have otherwise been very difficult to navigate on our own. Michael certainly helped us to avoid what would have certainly been more emotional, expensive, and lengthy. I am sincerely thankful for Michael’s expert help in aiding me through this process gracefully. I would highly recommend his services.

Compassionate and insightful are the two words that come to mind when describing our interactions with Michael Dwyer. My ex-husband and I had been trying for months to reach a divorce agreement to no avail. Someone recommended Michael Dwyer. Michael, within an hour or so of talking to us, was able to recognize what was holding each of us back. He worked with us, separately and together, helping us reach an agreement very speedily; one that worked for both of us. He also went out of his way to make sure that the divorce paperwork was filed before he left on vacation. I highly recommend Michael Dwyer. He will work with you with compassion and insight. He will help you transcend your current anger and bitterness and reach an agreement that you can live with years down the road! FYI – our divorce was finalized in Sep 2019. Thank you, Michael!

Drinkwater & Goldstein demonstrates exceptional responsiveness, promptly returning all calls and maintaining punctual appointments. Their staff is not only efficient but also friendly. What distinguishes them from other firms is their commitment to exceeding the typical scope of services. When they represent you, the attorneys go the extra mile, providing value that surpasses the cost. A lawyer must possess not only a comprehensive understanding of the law but also excellent detective skills. It involves delving into every nuance of analogous cases, conducting thorough investigations, and unearthing precedents relevant to the legal matter at hand. This law firm extensively searches for specialists in the relevant field of each case, ensuring comprehensive coverage for their clients. Just like when my dog needed an X-ray at a local vet who although had an xray machine they did not employ a radiologist, my vet sent it to a specialist. Despite not charging extra, this expert radiologist identified issues the local vet could not read revealing our dog had a tumor with limited time left. Thanks to this expertise, we now have a clear course of action and will proceed accordingly. That's the level of service you receive with Drinkwater & Goldstein. Their expert opinions and collaborative approach ensure informed decisions for their clients so you can “proceed accordingly”. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

I certainly could have waited to write this review until the lawsuit I'm involved in has wrapped up (I'm a defendant). Hopefully that will be in the next couple of months. But I feel compelled to say something at this point because I want to acknowledge that the way Attorney Moss handles things, the way his mind works, and the way things are explained to me, has helped keep my stress level down, and has greatly abated the angst I feel as my court date approaches, three years into a law suit that I should never have been included in. I know that I am in incredibly competent hands with Attorney Moss. But I wanted other people to know that how you're treated during the process makes all the difference.

I am obliged to post my review since the reviews and comments here has lead me to a right decision of choosing Julia Jayne. She is one of a kind- prompt in answering emails, calls and inquiries, approachable, honest, straightforward, witty, pro active. We’ve only met for a short time, she listened, had genuine concern, and had acted right away. My case was resolved in less than half an hour. And even after that, Julia still reached out when she has concerns. And she only charged reasonable fees. Words are not enough to thank Julia for what she has done.

Anton Reinert represented me in a long divorce process. He invariably responded to me in a timely manner with exactly the amount of information I needed to feel less worried and clear-minded. This ability to trust him and his guidance improved my quality of life during a difficult time. I appreciated his integrity in guiding me toward a solution that best matched my means and my interests. He is not a lawyer who wants to keep things going to make more money. I interviewed a number of attorneys before hiring him and believe he has a refreshing, efficient, approach in an aggressive arena. Anton has an air-tight understanding of the law and ethics that go along with the law. He also offers availability for communication at any inquiry and has a kind manner that isn't required, but that helps; especially at a difficult point in anyone's life. Working with Anton is easy. Anton's approach makes you want to rise to meet the situation, handle it well, and come out as a better person.

Jordan’s ability to articulatorily handle complex legal and other matters is flawless. I would recommend Jordan to any person experiencing a complex situation. Jordan’s knowledge and experience tops all others. Jordan’s distinguished career at the Prosecutors Office, Attorney General’s Office and countless other endeavors, lend Jordan a unique lens that could and would help you dearly. If you are fortunate enough to witness Jordan in action, you will sense a strong sense of loyalty and competitiveness. Even if you have an issue that does not have to to go to a trial or appellate court, do yourself a favor and have Jordan take a look. Jordan will diligently and efficiently get you on the right path — he is very capable. Jordan is very gifted and organized; God has blessed the Citizens of New Jersey with Jordan — I can’t recommend him enough. I thank Jordan for the service he recently provided me, and for the service he will continue to provide to all my fellow New Jerseyans.

Travis always listens and ensures he understands what it is I am feeling and needing before developing a plan. He is very strategic in everything he does, and wastes no time getting where we need to go. Travis will take the risks worth taking and when he takes them he does so with a huge heart and great passion. Travis is true and pure and I am a better person having met him.

I am obliged to post my review since the reviews and comments here has lead me to a right decision of choosing Julia Jayne. She is one of a kind- prompt in answering emails, calls and inquiries, approachable, honest, straightforward, witty, pro active. We’ve only met for a short time, she listened, had genuine concern, and had acted right away. My case was resolved in less than half an hour. And even after that, Julia still reached out when she has concerns. And she only charged reasonable fees. Words are not enough to thank Julia for what she has done. No one would wanna be in a position where you need to consult or hire a lawyer, but sometimes, that is life. Don’t hesitate, consult Julia. From my heart, I highly recommend her.

In our case, Julia got a great outcome by having a great strategy and pursuing it quickly. Julia is very very smart, which you can gather from the other reviews. She also listens, which was key to our case. She listened to us, she listened to the prosecutor, and she used all of the information she gathered. She communicates clearly, and made sure that we understood every step in the process and also the strategy that she pursued so energetically. She was effective at working with the experts that we needed. I highly recommend Julia.

Truly can not say enough wonderful words about everyone at O'Neil and Hudkins!! I was going to give shout outs by name and realized it was everyone! The whole team from start to finish are smart, professional, easy to work with, and kind. I know most people dread updating or starting the process of estate planning, Wills, etc, but you can let it go by letting them take care of it all. They handle everything with great knowledge and make it clean and clear on what to expect and what you will receive from them. They walk you through it and give you an easy understanding of all your new life documents. Thanks to them- my self, husband, grown son and 84 year old mom are now set up with everything we need to be able to take care of each other! Thank you all!

Anton Reinert represented me in a long divorce process. He invariably responded to me in a timely manner with exactly the amount of information I needed to feel less worried and clear-minded. This ability to trust him and his guidance improved my quality of life during a difficult time. I appreciated his integrity in guiding me toward a solution that best matched my means and my interests. He is not a lawyer who wants to keep things going to make more money. I interviewed a number of attorneys before hiring him and believe he has a refreshing, efficient, approach in an aggressive arena. Anton has an air-tight understanding of the law and ethics that go along with the law. He also offers availability for communication at any inquiry and has a kind manner that isn't required, but that helps; especially at a difficult point in anyone's life. Working with Anton is easy. Anton's approach makes you want to rise to meet the situation, handle it well, and come out as a better person.

Don picked up my case mid way through a less than pleasant mediation. He eased my nerves, answered all my questions and always had my best interest in mind. He was upfront, honest and open with me at all times. He was always available, even during the holiday season and made getting a divorce during a pandemic the easiest process I could imagine. He was even available the day I was moving out of my home to make sure everything went smoothly and I always knew he had my back no matter what decision I made. I came out on top in more ways than I can even have imagined. Not that I want to go through a divorce again, but if I do, Don will be right there with me every step of the way. Don McGinnis is a phenominal lawyer! He makes himself available at all hours and makes you feel like you are the only client he has.

Don McGinnis was my divorce attorney for a very complicated case during the pandemic. My case involved many other issues in other courts and Don kept up with everything and gave me counsel. Don is a wealth of knowledge in all areas of divorce and family law and he was always well respected in court by the Judges and the Mediator. Don and his office staff treated me with kindness and respect at all times and they were always available to assist me. I would recommend Don McGinnis to anyone looking for a strong divorce attorney.

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You

A family law lawyer provides legal services related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, and adoption. Family lawyers help clients navigate emotionally charged legal issues, providing guidance and representation in disputes that affect spouses, children, and parents. Whether you're going through a divorce, seeking custody of your children, or drafting a prenuptial agreement, a family law lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your interests are represented.

Family law attorneys often handle sensitive matters and offer objective legal advice, helping clients reach fair outcomes either through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.

When Should I Hire a Family Law Lawyer?

Hiring a family law lawyer is beneficial in several situations, especially when legal matters involve close personal relationships. Common reasons to hire a family law lawyer include:

  • Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
  • Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.
  • Child support: Whether you’re seeking child support or defending against a claim, a lawyer can help ensure the appropriate amount is calculated and enforced.
  • Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: A lawyer can help draft or review agreements that protect your assets in case of divorce.
  • Adoption: Family law lawyers guide you through the legal process of adoption, ensuring that all requirements are met.
  • Domestic violence or restraining orders: If you're a victim of domestic violence or being falsely accused, a lawyer can help you obtain or challenge protective orders.
  • Paternity cases: If there are questions about the paternity of a child, a lawyer can help establish or dispute legal fatherhood.

Hiring a lawyer early can prevent issues from escalating, and they can offer you the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome in emotionally charged situations.

What Does a Family Law Lawyer Do?

A family law lawyer provides a wide range of services depending on your specific legal needs. Their responsibilities may include:

  • Advising on legal rights and options: Helping you understand your legal rights regarding divorce, child custody, support, and other family law issues.
  • Filing legal documents: Drafting and filing petitions, motions, and agreements with the court, such as divorce papers, custody agreements, or support orders.
  • Representing clients in court: Arguing your case in front of a judge if a settlement can’t be reached through negotiation or mediation.
  • Mediation and negotiation: Assisting with alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, to reach agreements on issues like custody, property division, and support without going to trial.
  • Enforcing court orders: Helping you enforce court orders related to child support, alimony, or custody if the other party fails to comply.
  • Drafting prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: Creating agreements that protect your assets in the event of a divorce.
  • Handling adoption proceedings: Ensuring that the legal process of adoption is followed, from filing paperwork to finalizing the adoption in court.

How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?

Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:

  • Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
  • Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
  • Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.

The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.

How Much Does a Family Law Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a family law lawyer varies based on factors such as the lawyer's experience, the location, and the complexity of your case. Here are some general cost guidelines:

  • Hourly rates: Family law lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
  • Flat fees: For simpler cases, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
  • Retainers: For more complex matters, such as contested divorces or custody battles, lawyers may charge a retainer ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 or more. The lawyer will bill against the retainer for the work they do on your case.
  • Additional costs: You may also be responsible for additional costs, such as filing fees, mediation fees, or expert witness fees.

Always ask for a clear breakdown of the lawyer’s fees and any additional expenses during your consultation.

Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer

Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:

  1. What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption.
  2. How will you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved.
  3. What are the possible outcomes of my case?
    An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case.
  4. What is your approach to resolving disputes?
    Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals.
  5. How long do you expect my case to take?
    While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases.
  6. Who will be handling my case?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.

How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:

  • Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
  • Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
  • Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
  • Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
  • List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
  • Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
  • Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.

Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
