My only regret is that I found her after my divorce! That said, she has helped me navigate a tricky marital home sale and given me council and clarity during disputes regarding anything contained in my divorce documents, ie. visitation, decision making rights, child support, etc. Her advice, given her compassionate regard for Father's Rights, helps me feel confident that I'm acting in accord with my legal agreements and being treated fairly. Many thanks.

I switched to Marilyn after 3.5 years with a previous attorney to handle my divorce. My only regret is not switching to Marilyn sooner. Marilyn truly cared about the outcome my case. She was very responsive to any questions or concerns I had. She is very knowledgeable with what to expect and always one step ahead of opposing counsel. I was very fortunate to have Marilyn on my side. She is the absolute best!

Alicia R. Lucero won both of my custody trials for me. My Limited Divorce in 2014 and Absolute Divorce in 2017. She went up against a medical doctor twice and won both times. I was also awarded child support. Ms. Lucero is an incredible and knowledgeable attorney. She is definitely a fighter and will not give up on you. Thank you once again Alicia for everything!

I recently had the privilege of working with Mr. Teddy Rivera and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the exceptional legal services provided. From the outset, Teddy Rivera demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that surpassed my expectations. What impressed me most was Teddy Rivera 's attention to detail and commitment to ensuring that every aspect of my case was thoroughly examined and addressed. The clear and concise communication throughout the process helped alleviate any concerns I had, providing me with the confidence that I was in capable hands. Mr. Teddy Rivera not only possesses an extensive knowledge of the law but also has a remarkable ability to convey complex legal concepts in a way that is easily understandable. This made the entire experience much more manageable and allowed me to make informed decisions about my case. Beyond the technical aspects of the legal work, Mr. Teddy Rivera demonstrated genuine care and empathy. The personal touch and consideration for my specific needs and concerns set him apart from other professionals I have worked with in the past. I would wholeheartedly recommend Teddy Rivera to anyone seeking legal assistance. He is not just a lawyer; he is a true advocate for his clients, dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes. Thank you, Mr. Teddy Rivera , for your outstanding service and for making a challenging process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

The team is bilingual which helped me and my wife to attend meetings in our own language (spanish) and satisfy our doubts and concerns.

I had contacted Kathy concerning after losing custody of my children. During my divorce, I didn’t have representation, so my parenting plan was oppressive and it didn’t leave Kathy with a lot to fight with. However, Kathy did extensive research and really worked hard to do what she could for me. In the end, Kathy helped to get my children back. Throughout the process, I found Kathy to be incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and responsive to my calls. She was always available when I needed her. Most importantly, I felt that Kathy really cared about me and my case throughout the process. I would highly recommend Kathy to anyone in need of her services. She knows the law and will provide excellent representation.

Going into my domestic violence/divorce case, I knew it was going to be difficult. I had tried to leave before, but would feel scared and powerless trying to navigate the complicated family court system with previous attorneys. All I can say is that I am eternally grateful that Rawan was recommended to me this time around! Rawan is trustworthy, knowledgeable, and hard-working. She was easy to get in touch with and very compassionate when interacting with/advising me. She was exceptional in her communication with the opposing counsel and in the courtroom. I got the best results I could have asked for. Honestly, after my first meeting with Rawan, I felt confident that this time was going to be different and, luckily, I was right. I cannot say enough great things about Rawan. Highly recommend!!

Brian has represented me for a custody modification, and is currently representing me for a divorce and custody battle with an estranged husband that clearly suffers from narcissistic personality disorder and/or antisocial behavior disorder. Brian has had to endure harrassment from my estranged husband via email, court affidavits referencing him and his family members, multiple psychotic phone calls and now bad reviews of his law firm for no other reason than the other party lost and is losing. The drama is never ending with the narcissistic ones when they are losing. It is comparable to a child's temper tantrum. Brian has had to take many, many emails and phone calls from me over the last 18+ months and was always responsive. While dealing with all of this, Brian has been successful in every court hearing we have filed and I believe it will be one more in the books after the upcoming trial is over with this miserable abuser of a soon to be ex husband.

Divorce is such an ugly thing. It is usually something beyond draining in every way imaginable, especially in circumstances involving a non-amicable and/or entitled spouse. Often, such difficulties are compounded by concurrent issues with finances, health, etc. Most importantly, when innocent children are involved, it becomes crucial to protect them from the surrounding chaos. During such a trying time, it is vital to partner with an attorney who is experienced, competent, trustworthy, diligent, discerning, and level-headed. It is also important to find an attorney who is well-connected and respected within the Florida law community. With my personal case now fully resolved, I can assert that Mr. Steven Hair, Esquire meets/exceeds all of these attributes. Another characteristic about Mr. Hair that deserves mentioning is a certain humility that is rarely seen in successful attorneys, especially those with his extent of experience (over 30 years). If you are looking for an aggressive "pit bull" type of attorney who will invariably take extreme measures on your behalf, perhaps Mr. Hair is not for you (and he would tell you this himself). But do NOT mistake this for weakness. Rather, Mr. Hair is a careful investor of his time, and time = money. YOUR money. You can trust Mr. Hair and his staff to not only represent your best interests, but also to be a steward of your finances by not accruing wasteful hours on measures bound to fail. He does this by carefully listening to the various aspects of your case and then educating you on how the law applies (or tends to apply) given your circumstances. Further, if your case is somehow unique or complex, Mr. Hair is unafraid to tell you when he needs to look into specific details to provide definitive information and guidance. This is a mark of a true professional. Finally, if you are a parent, you can trust Mr. Hair to keep your child/children forefront of mind throughout your case. For us parents, divorce is something far more than just an elongated financial negotiation. The parenting plan deserves at least an equal amount of time and thought to ensure that kids will endure the process of divorce as unscathed as possible. I am personally looking forward to the next chapter of my life and watching my children transition into thriving young adults. I owe much of this optimism and assurance to Mr. Hair. I am more than pleased to offer my highest recommendation for his legal services.

If you are looking for an attorney for family law matters Matthew Hunt is the best money can buy. I initially hired Mr. Hunt after I fired another attorney who took my money, did not bother to file divorce paperwork, and would not return my calls or emails. Mr. Hunt did more in the first day of hiring him than the other attorney did in months. It was like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders knowing I now had an attorney I could trust. He was able to reverse the damage that resulted from my previous attorneys’ poor representation. I have been to multiple hearings, mediations, and a deposition with Mr. Hunt. Mr. Hunt’s preparedness was apparent during each of these instances. I’ve had conversations with Mr. Hunt and have been completely surprised when he remembers instances I’ve spoken to him about, emailed him about, and things that happened during prior years. I can truly say that I trust Mr. and his decision-making ability, mainly because he has shown me time and time again the positive results that happen afterwards. Mr. Hunt has been incredible in sorting through all my ex’s lies and making the truth shine especially in the place where it ultimately matters which is the courtroom. My children are now thriving in ways they never have never been able to before because of decisions made during those courtroom appearances and the facts that were able to be made clear by Mr. Hunt. My ex is now writing negative reviews about Mr. Hunt on multiple platforms. Her being so angry and vengeful towards Mr. Hunt is indicative of the excellent work he has done for me and my children. Thank you, Mr. Hunt, having you as my attorney has made my life and the lives of my children much better.

I was very firm with Mr. Hunt on what I wanted and he over delivered on every aspect. I get my kids more than I thought I would, I pay less than was estimated, and it was all handled on one day. No one else in their industry is as skilled as this man. Do not let these 1 star reviews say you as they are all written by clients of the other side, when you don't hire the best. You shouldn't expect to win. I hired the best so I won.

I am a military reservist and was divorced 17 years ago. My original attorney advertised that he did military divorces in the phone book, and he convinced me he was knew what he was doing. Skip ahead 17 years. I began receiving my reserve military retired pay and my former spouse filed for her portion. The original order was not worded correctly and needed to be clarified. Her attorney reworded a corrective order. I couldn't locate my original attorney, so I spoke to my local JAG office which really couldn't advise me, but said the language in the clarifying order seemed correct as to form. When the pay division occurred I was surprised that my former spouse was getting more money than I was!!!! I began searching for someone to correct this mess...a local lawyer recommended the attorney they consult with on these type of matters...John Camp! Not only is he an expert in military and civil service divorces, he teaches the intricacies of these laws to other attorneys and judges. John was able to correct the clarifying order to properly divide my retired pay. I only wish I had consulted with him 17 years ago!!!! Not all attorneys are equal!

Mr. Camp is truly an AMAZING attorney!!! My husband, who was a retired Federal Civil Service Employee, filed for divorce after 40+ years of marriage. Because my husband was a Civil Service Retiree, Mr. Camp came highly recommended from the office of another attorney where I had previously sought advice. His experience and knowledge of the Federal Civil Service Retirement System is very extensive, and he was able to tell me of my all entitlements within the hour of our consultation. He quickly went to work on my counterclaim for the divorce, and in two weeks we were in court for spousal support. The outcome - I was awarded a substantial monthly amount. I could not have gotten through the complex situation surrounding the divorce, and then the difficult time of my husband’s death, without Mr. Camp being there every step of the way. Mr. Camp smoothly navigated the application process with OPM, and I am now receiving the monthly survivor benefit. Mr. Camp also made sure that I was able to keep the health benefits as well, because at my age, there is no way I could afford to pay health care premiums on my own. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Camp as the go to attorney for anyone involved in a Federal Civil Service case.

We hired Loni for a very complicated and stressful case. Her experience was extremely valuable in so many ways. In particular, it was a VERY emotional case for us and Loni helped us keep the proper focus when our emotions took us off course. She is extremely patient when listening to her clients. In our case, Loni appeared to be very respected by the Judge. She is skilled at negotiating, as well as litigation. Our daughter decided we were trying to steal her child and hired an attorney and fought the Guardianship. We had raised our grandson and he had lived with us since 5 weeks old, and is now 2 1/2. Our daughters alcohol addiction and the fathers criminal past and inability to support our grandson necessitated our request for Guardianship. We now have General Guardianship of our grandson, and are FOREVER grateful to Loni and her staff.

I hired Loni to file for emergency guardianship of our nephew. It was a complicated case and our family was a wreck. Loni was amazing - she is one of the most empathetic people I have ever met. Her work was exceptional. She is a very skilled litigator. The other party ended up assenting to the guardianship - due to the strength of the case that Loni put together. The negotiation was intense, but Loni kept us calm and focused. It is rare to find an attorney that is equally good at litigating and negotiating but Loni excels at both. I will always be grateful for her help during one of the hardest times in my life.

I hired Ms. Keane for a child support enforcement/custody issue. She was so helpful, making sure I understood what was happening, what various things meant, and what "could" potentially happen. She never made promises that couldn't keep, just laid out possible scenarios. Her transparent approach was extremely comforting, especially when it involved my child. She gave me such peace of mind, on top of great legal advice/service. She listened to me, and just made me feel very comfortable from the start. I hope I never have to hire a lawyer again, but if I DO, I will not hesitate to hire Ms. Keane again

Mrs. Johnson was the second lawyer I contacted regarding my divorce. She had me won over within the first 10 mins of our meeting. Her combination of legal excellence, compassion and positive energy was EXACTLY what I needed in a very dark time. If needed she will absolute run circles around all other attorney's. However, she also understands the financial constraints during a divorce and at no point did I ever feel she was out to make money. She truly cares about her clients and it is reflected in her rock solid work. Her legal assistant Yomary is awesome as well and promptly answered all my questions. I can't recommend them enough. Hire without delay to give you peace of mind that you have the best team on your side.

I can honestly not say enough good things about Katherine and her assistant. To say it lightly, I had one heck of a divorce; my first attorney dropped the ball multiple times, so I stepped up to the big leagues and started working with Mrs Johnson. From the start, the level of professionalism and talent was off the charts. Throughout my entire ordeal, Mrs Johnson and her assistant kept me well informed and fought incredibly hard to get me to the finish line. They were ready and prepared for every bump and twist in my journey and really took care of everything. I could not be more pleased with the level of service that they provided. If you are looking for an experienced, professional, attorney who will fight for you, look no further.

If there was a 100 star option I would leave it for Janis and her staff. Janis helped me through a 2 year battle with my now ex-husband regarding both custody and finances. Janis wasn’t just my divorce attorney throughout all this, she was a coach, a therapist, a friend. When things were rough she would get on the phone with me to help make sure I was in a good headspace. She constantly reminded me it was a marathon, not a sprint. I felt taken care of during the entire process. Not only is she extremely compassionate and caring to her clients but she is also a pitbull when it is needed in the courtroom. She comes well prepared into hearings and trials and has an extensive knowledge not only of family law, but of the Connecticut court systems. It is clear that she is well respected by her peers, the judges and court room staff. Janis’ staff also goes above and beyond for her clients. Rebekah is always friendly and helpful on the phone and perpetually has a great attitude. Sue does wonderful work for the clients. The office is very responsive to phone calls and emails and does a great job at getting you in to meetings. If you are in need of a divorce attorney, no need to look at further, Laliberte Law is the place to go.

What can I say about Laliberte Law, simply put “they just get it”! I was recommended to Janis by a trusted friend, I quickly discover that Janis personally has three plus decades of experience, solely focus on divorces. It only took five minutes with Janis and her team to know that these folks really cared about what they do and what I had to say. They cared about me as a person, going through hard times, and not just another case. I came to their office feeling alone and lost, and even a bit scared, in the craziness of it all. We immediately struct up a dialog, Janis was empathic to my situation. She patiently listened to my story, and the facts as I knew them. She never “yessed” me. Janise was engaging from the very start, asking me for more details on key topics, and pushing back on me when I started to stray off track. Janis made me feel relaxed, I knew I could tell her anything. She made very clear that she could only best represent me if I was completely open and honest. I knew I had found the team that would fight for me, be in my corner, by my side through the entire process. Janis stepped me through how the process worked and what would be expected of me. She told me her primary goal was to get to a final resolution as quickly as possible. She instilled a confidence in me that in the end, I would be positioned to move on with my life. She fought in the trenches for me, was my voice when no one would listen, she challenges my spouse’s lawyers, and the mediator. Backing down is not her style. She kept in constant contact with me every step of the way. I had total confidence in her and her team. In the end I was very happy with the outcome. I don’t know what I would have done without Laliberte Law representing me. They changed my life and I’m eternally grateful. Michael T.

Absolutely outstanding attorney! The best of the best. Janis knows how the system works and will steer you in the right direction. She's kind and practical, brilliant and tough! What more do you need? In my case she consulted and advised me right out of a lengthy and costly legal battle that previous lawyers could not do. With her sage advise I got into superb hands and was able to mediate with a retired judge. Thank you Janis for finding me the road back. Forever grateful!

I was trying to contact Tim Brown and the messenger popped up. I wrote a short explanation of my issue. The person on the other end started asking me questions that had nothing to do with trying to get Lawyer Brown like personal and financial info. So be aware, this is NOT where you want to get in touch with your lawyer. Make sure to filter your search down to the specific lawyer's actual website.

Timothy Brown did a great job for us. I was very nervous and scared to go through with Bankruptcy. First time I went to his office he was so friendly and helpful. He put my mind at ease. Always was there and NEVER made me feel anything I asked or said was wrong. He made the process very easy. Gave me all the options and explained everything so I could understand. I would HIGHLY recommend him he was there from beginning to end and always treated us friendly and made us not afraid of what we were doing.

Divorce can be messy, challenging, and financially and emotionally draining. I was fortunate enough to have Shay representing me through it all. Unlike the previous lawyer I had hired, who was hostile, condescending, and dismissive of my concerns, Shay took the time to listen to my needs. She was not only patient, kind, and professional, she showed compassion. She always took the time to explain everything in detail and made sure I felt supported and understood. Because she was aware of my financial constraints, she made sure that whatever step we took was financially feasible for me. She provided genuine guidance; it wasn’t just about her making money. Once Shay took over my case, the long, drawn-out process quickly came to an end. Because of Shay’s dedication and empathy as well as the fact that she’s really good at what she does, she made a difficult time much more manageable. I wish I had hired her from the very beginning. I highly recommend Shay to everyone!

Interviewing various lawyers in December 2019, I met with Shay and was surprised at how young she looked. She’s the age of my daughters and I wondered would she be capable of handling my divorce which would involve several million dollars of property and division of other assets. Did she have enough experience? Another concern of mine was that, even though I would be hiring her for her knowledge of the legal system, I wanted to actively share the bottom line decisions on how certain things would be handled. She agreed to work with me, and my divorce papers were filed in February of 2020. This event in my life proved to be one of the most stressful dragged out events ever! Shay never buckled. January 2024 my divorce was finally resolved! She was there working with me for four very long years dealing with such a difficult advisory… I don’t think many people would have had the drive to see this through. The times when I wanted to fly off the handle, she would give me Calm and appropriate advice as to my next move. She even explained that certain things would be much more expensive thus disproving the idea that ALL attorneys are just about the money. She of course, needs to make a living, but the amount of work she did and the manner which it was done , she was worth every penny of it and then some! I kept my faith in her, and she never let me down. She guided me in the right directions all the way through, and she was very easy to work with. I actually consider her a friend at this point and she not only helped me monetarily get through this divorce, she truly was there emotionally. So don’t let her youth lead you to believe that she doesn’t have the courage, compassion, and knowledge to represent anyone in need of legal assistance.

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.
