Alex Jones represented me in a difficult dissolution case that involved an international element. He did an excellent job. Not only he demonstrated to be very competent, he also took the time to explain to me each legal step in simple and clear words, giving me all the information I needed to make my own decisions as to how to proceed with the case. Alex is also very supportive and appears to understand well the emotional toll that dissolution/divorce can take. He is a good communicator, answers to emails promptly, and won my everlasting gratitude for working during his well deserved holidays, as my case reached an unexpected climax right on New Years Eve. All this for a truly reasonable fee: highly recommended!

Mr. Kruse was assigned as my court appointed attorney and did absolutely wonderful work for me. I’m a resident in another state, but he was able to help me with a case I had in Lebanon, Indiana. He’s prompt with his communication and explains things very clearly. I would highly recommend him to represent you if you find yourself in an unfortunate situation.

Alex helped me to set up my LLC for a side business. The process was very quick, and I was up and running within a week. His advice for my business has been invaluable and he has helped to steer me in the right direction and ensured that I am operating to the letter of the law. I have entrusted Alex to work as my Registered Agent and he is always on top of my issues.

A five star rating and more for Fred Schwartz, is more than deserved. He handled my case in a calm, confident manner which included a compassionate concern for my well being. Fred investigated the accident in minute detail, gathered evidence and handled my claim negotiations. While it was a difficult path to physically move through this injury; I was surprised to experience an emotion healing when I received significant compensation for my pain and suffering. I am grateful, I had the BEST attorney in Fred Schwartz!

Remember those attorneys that claimed they'll fight for you I had a case with them when it came time to they ran like Jack rabbits so a friend recorded Fred Swartz he was very thorough in how deal with the insurance company he my almost dead came and revived it for a substantial win reason Fred Swartz is so good is because he has years of experience working for the insurance companies after that I had another case he got me ten times what I expected let's face it with the way insurance companies operate you need an inside madman who how they operate and how to deal with them that inside man is Fred Swartz trust me you'll be very happy with the results

I had the unfortunate experience of going through a contested divorce! As such, I needed a good attorney to represent me. Alyson was referred to me by another Attorney I had been represented by in an accident case and I could not have hired a better Divorce Attorney! Alyson worked closely with me through Oral Arguments, Evidentiary Hearing, and assisted in my negotiation of my Divorce Settlement. Alyson was empathetic to my situation and provided me with clear and concise information to assist in getting on with my life! Divorce is hard and I do not wish it upon anyone, however, Alyson is without a doubt who I would recommend should you need expert legal representation with Divorce proceedings. Thank You Alyson!!!

I hired Mrs. Foster to represent me in my divorce and child custody case. My case was complex, the other party refused to try to come to any agreements prior to going to court. I worked with Mrs. Foster for over three years on this case. She made sure that my children were safe and didn't give an inch when it came to that. Her and her paralegal kept me informed of everything that was going on. She also assisted me with all necessary follow up and enforcement hearings. She was very personable and I felt like she really cared about my family and the outcome of our case. She walked me through the whole process and was very upfront about everything. If it weren't for her hard work and compassion, things could have turned out very different for my children. I am very glad I decided to hire her.

I hired Alyson Foster to draft my post-nup agreement; she also represented me through my divorce. I appreciated that Alyson was straight forward and realistic, but also had a sense of humor. She didn't always tell me what I wanted to hear, but I still felt she had my best interest in mind. Alyson strongly advocated for me throughout the divorce process. She's responsive and always returned my phone calls and emails in a timely manner. She also recommended options for avoiding unnecessary legal fees, when appropriate. Her paralegal, Nikki, was also a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her services.

Lindsey Straus recently assisted our retail business with trademark issues. She was referred to us by our local chamber of commerce and we are so glad to have had her expertise and experience guiding us. She is extremely thorough, very responsive and advised on all the legal issues involving a trademark. We had met with others re: our trademark and chose The Law Office of Lindsey Straus to represent us, and we definitely made the right decision. Highly recommend!

Lindsey prepared trusts, last will and testaments, powers of attorney, trustees certificates and health care proxies for my wife and me. She was extremely expedient but thorough and prepared all these documents for a third of the price of a Hyannis lawyer who had quoted the job. Her handling of our personal preferences for last rites was particularly compassionate.

A few short years ago my company ran into an egregious trademark and copyright infringement. In reviewing local attorneys, I discovered Ms Straus had extensive experience in the field and hired her. Despite the complexity of the case, we achieved a resounding success and very quickly. We again ran into yet another similar infringement in the past couple months so I called upon Attorney Straus yet again. And again, in a matter of only a couple weeks she was able to shut down the violation and bring it to a quick resolve. Not only that, it ended up not costing me a penny. Should we find ourselves confronted with yet another ne'er-do-well attempting to steal our IP down the road, be assured we know who to call. I recommend anyone else do the same.

During the course of what I thought was a routine employment background check, warrants for my arrest for older traffic violations were discovered dating back some years. These were items of which I was unaware. I first engaged Ms. Murad to represent me in discussing this situation with that potential employer. She was quickly able to review and resolve this firm's reluctance to engage my services and I was offered the position. This was followed by her expeditious and successful representation of my case in front of a Miami-Dade court. Through her efforts the warrants, associated fines and traffic tickets were completely dismissed. Please consider this the strongest recommendation for Prya Murad Law PLLC

I have been on probation since I was 18 due to marijuana charges etc. I am now 21 and I was fairly close to finishing my probation on my own. Unfortunately I was arrested on a Friday for being out of county on probation. It wasn’t till Tuesday morning, my family was able to find Pryas number. When they finally found it she was easily reached and was able to do more than we expected. I was released on Wednesday at 3am, Not only was I released fairly quickly she also got my probation terminated completely! I went into jail thinking the worst of the worst and it turned out to be such a blessing in the end. I couldn’t thank her enough for her help. Glad I can finally put this in the past and I wouldn’t have been able to without her. Thanks to her I can finally start focusing on my life and not on my mistakes. Definitely worth it.

Great job, for a fee that was more than reasonable. I’d recommend Ryan to anyone.

My family came to Ryan with a fairly uncommon problem. We needed his help transferring the guardianship of an adult from one state to another and also from one co-guardian to a new co-guardian. Sounds simple right? Ryan does not specialize in this type of law (I don't think many do), but he didn't bat an eye. We hired Ryan, and he was able to find out everything he needed to make our complex request He filed everything in a timely manner to get us in front of a judge and to get our matter handled. His prices were so reasonable, we felt compelled to give him a bonus for his stellar performance. I would choose him a thousand times.

We originally hired Teresa to help us in a matter going up against a state entity. She was prepared, professional and a true advocate. Opposite of being argumentative, Teresa listened, observed, and waited for the opportune time to boldly interject. Her legal advice was excellent and her representation was strong. Teresa went above and beyond in the service of our family. We returned to Teresa when it came time to adopt our son. I couldn't believe the turn around time on her service! She was supportive, reliable and encouraging. In one word, she is awesome! Our family will continue to retain Teresa in future legal matters as they arise.

My sister's employer, a multinational retail chain, withheld LTD premiums for almost two years, but had not secured the LTD policy. She was seriously injured and applied for the LTD benefits she had paid for. Lincoln Financial denied her claim. The fight was on, and Tom Sinclair held both of these companies accountable. My sister is a single income household. She was in fear of losing everything as she can no longer work and has additional medical expenses.

It was my gut feeling to hire him. I never regret it for a moment . He’s very honest , very knowledgeable ( worked with attorneys and they weren’t) My case had little twist and turn , Daniel did all the possible research to make my proses successful. And he did . We thought it will take maybe up to 18 months to get my naturalization. It took nine months. I had to hurry on my study which I found interesting to learn . He walked me through each and every step.

Knowledgeable, Persistent, and Devoted I applied for asylum and consulted with Dan Green to help me prepare for my interview at the asylum office. Dan worked with me as a good professional of his job —he was very focused on my case, becoming quickly familiar with my situation. Dan was sympathetic and kind, and helped me through the preparation he determined I needed for the best chance for success at my interview. He researched and found an extraordinarily skilled translator to meet us at the asylum office. Dan accompanied me to the interview, which required that we board our first bus at 4:10 in the morning. Because of Dan’s calm presence and his support and encouragement, I was able to have success at the interview telling my story to a representative of the USCIS. Last week, I received a letter from USCIS informing me that my application for asylum had been approved. I would highly recommend Daniel Green . God Bless Dan Green, and God Bless America!

Cheryl was a calming influence in my divorce proceedings. She takes the time to listen and understand your position. I appreciated her candor and expertise. She will lobby on your behalf to attain those things that are important to you. I always, always felt better after speaking with.....or meeting with Cheryl. She gave me the confidence that "everything would work out!" I also appreciated her honesty in setting expectations. In a time of personal chaos Cheryl helped navigate through to an amicable ending. She was able to work with opposing counsel and move thru the process quickly and expeditiously. After all was complete and our professional relationship is over - I now consider Cheryl a friend.

Immediately, she took the time to listen to my concerns and questions. She gave me a fair estimate of the cost for her services and explained her billing procedure. Cheryl Berzer answered every question I asked, gave me direct advice and explained the process that I would be navigating through. She also got back to me right away if I needed to inquire about an issue. She was able to negotiate and avoid a trial for me in less than a month, after a year and a half with a high profile firm.

I retained Mr. Demidovich to represent me in a divorce case. At the initial consultation, I knew he was the attorney for me. Mr. Demidovich took the time to review my documents and understand my situation. He was very direct as he laid out my options. His took my case on short notice and worked out a compensation plan that didn’t require me to sell my house and work two jobs just to retain his services. Mr. Demidovich worked with me when other lawyers wouldn’t. Mr. Demidovich truly believes that one should try to negotiate a win-win settlement before marching into court. He was, nonetheless, prepared to litigate my case if my attempts to secure an amicable agreement failed. I believe Mr. Demidovich’s knowledge and reputation as a fair, no-nonsense, seasoned litigator helped me to secure a fair and speedy divorce. I was truly blessed to have found this outstanding attorney!

My boyfriend needed a lawyer and we called Schragger and Associates and explained the situation. We made an appointment and met with Lyle. After explaining the situation to him and hearing what he thought we decided to hire him. It was the best decision. He instantly made us feel at ease and assured us he would do whatever it took to help the situation get resolved. Our first visit we also met Erin and she was so amazing that day and every time we were there or had to call the office. They always made us feel at ease and that they were doing everything they could for his case. She would return my calls and even gave me her cell so I could reach her on weekends. Lyle was a superstar and when the case finally went to trial we were so nervous. We came out of the court room with all charges dropped. I never even thought that was a possibility! Thank you Lyle and Erin so much, as well as everyone we came into contact with at the firm. They are the kindest most caring people ever!! I would recommend them and hire them again without a second thought if we ever need a lawyer again.

Divorce, even under amicable -ish terms is painful. Fluctuating emotions and unsolicited advice from family and friends can make even the most rational and clear headed think they are losing their mind. But when you have a narcissistic ex who is determined to make your life a living hell - this is when you need Richard to step in and fight for you. Richard is a no nonsense voice of reason kind of guy. Straight shooter who sees the bullshit a mile away. He will act as mediator when needed and show his claws when they are due. My divorce was extremely difficult and very long. It lasted 3 years with child custody and financial battle. His advice, direction, predictions were always spot on. He knows the court system in Queens inside out. He knows the judges and very well respected in court. When I was at my lowest point, indecisive and out of my realm of knowledge Richard made sure to use his extensive expertise and strongly push for terms on my behalf. Consistently assisting me in making difficult decisions and prioritizing both my and my children's needs both presently and in the future. The light at the end of the proverbial tunnel is glorious and I'm so thankful that Richard was able to help me get there without a costly trial and skillfully negotiated the settlement. Have a chat with him and you'll feel like you're in the best of hands. End your search now. He is your guy. I promise.

I can't say enough good things about Richard Beckerman, of Beckerman & Granados. I hired him to represent me in a post-divorce judgement enforcement matter. The case grew to be quite complicated. Richard handled everything with patience and professionalism. He never dropped the ball, and stood up for my rights. He charges flat fees that are very reasonable. Richard is easy to talk to and has a fierce determination and a keen insight. He knows the court system inside and out, and will broker the best possible deal for you. He knew what was in my best interest even before I did! The best advice I can give you today is this: If you need a divorce/family law attorney, reach out to Richard Beckerman, before your ex does.

I was extremely concerned because my wife hired a pit-bull attorney. I was recommended the law office of Donald Mastrodomenico by a very high Manhattan firm. Richard knows the Queens court. He knows Queens culture. My ex-wife complained about how her lawyer was looking to create strife in order get more money. I never felt that way. In fact, he spent more time with me teaching me about how the divorce court works in Queens, which was not the case for my ex-wife's with her more expensive lawyer. I always felt he looked out for my best interests. He truly protected my best interests. Once we worked out what was feasible and what I wanted, he was able to work my ex-wife's attorney to get a shared custody settlement that worked for me and was best for my two daughters. I feel very lucky to have found him.

Anne Shevlin was an answered prayer. I had used 2 other lawyers in San Antonio. What they couldn't/wouldn't do in 9 years, Anne was able to complete in THREE MONTHS! She was kind, understanding, always available for a phone call, easy to understand and quick to explain. She honestly made me feel like I mattered to her and she saw the importance of finalizing this case for the safety and well-being of my granddaughter. I felt like she was someone I had known for a long time...she treated me like family. I Highly recommend Anne Shevlin!

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.
