Alexander represented me in a car accident case and along with his co-counsel was able to negotiate a very good compensation for me. Mr. Irlin was always on top of my case, contacted me with all the case updates and demonstrated not only exceptional legal skills, but also true and genuine concern for his clients and their cases.

I hired Mr. Irlin to help me with complex business dispute which involved very large investment that I made into a company. Alexander was right on point and focused on every detail of my case from the initial consultation until conclusion of the case, and I was able to recover my investment (which I thought I might have lost) within short time of hiring Mr. Irlin to represent me and all of my expectations were exceeded by Mr. Irlin's professionalism, legal expertise and personal attention to any and all of my questions or concerns. I wil recommend Law Offices of Alexander Irlin to all of my friends and relatives who might have any legal issues in the future and also will hire this law firm without any hesitation if I ever need a lawyer again.

Mr. Irlin is one of the top Florida legal experts in the area of business and real estate law and has handled several legal matters related to my company. Not only I would trust and rely on Alexander's expertise to handle any legal matter for me, but I have also never met another lawyer, that would give each client the highest level of undivided personal attention and would respond to any and all questions or inquiries coming from his clients right away, no matter how slight or insignificant client's question might seem. I recommend Mr. Irlin to anyone who is looking for a top legal expert with enormous amount of legal experience, but also wants to hire an attorney who genuinely cares for his clients and who always addresses each and every legal need of his client.

When I contacted Nico to address a court hearing I was upset and afraid what the court system would do to me. I was in a facility awaiting my appearance in court. My family worried they would lose me to system. But my attorney explained to my wife how under his care the outcome wouldn't be as bad as we thought. He gave the confidence I need to get through the wait of the appearance before the Judge. I paid a modest fee. Then a day before my day In court I They released me to my happy and overjoyed family. It was so nice to be home and safe. I just know that without my prestige Lawyer, Nico Vitale, I would have been doomed to much time in that dreaded facility. Thank you Nico Vitale for money well spent.

Throughout my time spent with her and in court she continued to provide support to me during the divorce process.

His professionalism, combined with a genuine empathetic approach, made a horrible situation much more manageable. Shawn was not only responsive and accessible, but also highly skilled in his field. For those seeking a lawyer who blends exceptional expertise with genuine compassion and attentiveness, Shawn Leo is highly recommended.

Bo Gregg is without a doubt, the best overall divorce lawyer. He is the most thorough, professional, and knowledgeable person I have had the privilege to meet. Bo can make you feel like you are his brother and will advise you like you are his own son. If you ever find yourself needing a family law professional to trust, he is without question the person to call. There is not enough characters to express my gratitude, nor scale to measure him on. Excellent person, professional, and family man. He will do what is right in the most difficult of situations. His staff is outstanding as well!!!

I retained Mr. Gregg in late Spring of 2015 and have just now, in February of 2017, concluded the difficult divorce case he has handled for me. "Bo" is the kind of attorney that you don't hear enough about; the kind of professional that would give lawyers a sterling reputation were they all able to consistently demonstrate the integrity, the demeanor, and the ability to clearly communicate the sometimes difficult truths about family law in the manner that he does. The team he works with at the Wright Law Firm have the expertise, the depth of knowledge and experience, the manpower, and the class it takes to handle extremely tough issues while retaining the decorum you should expect and deserve from a law firm. I highly recommend that you consider Williard "Bo" Gregg should you be seeking counsel in matters of family law.

My attorney brought Vincent DeLuca in for an economic mediation. He was very professional, engaged and effective. I appreciated his humanity and how he handled a difficult situation between two parties who could not come to a reasonable agreement. He got the heart of things in fairly short order and was patient with the bump and grind of the process.

I highly recommend Vincent DeLuca as a collaborative divorce attorney. I hired him back in 2010 for a collaborative divorce, and his involvement helped to make it a success. He was already skilled in that area of law, at that time, despite it being new to many people in NJ. In a collaborative divorce both lawyers become part of the “team”, yet in private they still offer guidance to their clients (that is my take on the process). So I wanted a lawyer who was both a team player and a straight shooter. If I was asking for too much I wanted him to tell me, and if I was not holding a fair line I also wanted to know. Throughout the process he offered that kind of honest guidance to me, and he helped to keep our son’s needs front and center. He also has skills as a mediator, and it was apparent to me that he truly wanted what was best for our son. Vince is also capable of being assertive and seeing through tactics and posturing. I certainly did not want a typical divorce battle, but I want to be clear that if I had one I also would trust that Vince could help to protect me from those pitfalls. In many ways I feel he offers a great blend of all of those skills and needs. He is caring, experienced, creative and tactful. And above all he earned my trust at a high level. I ended up contacting him three other times, and referring a handful of friends to him. I wish you luck on your current challenges and recommend that you consider a consultation with Vince to see if he is a good fit for your needs.

You never expect that when you are married and have children that you will be getting a divorce. I was incredibly fortunate to have Vince as my divorce lawyer. He explained everything to ahead of time and he guided me through the entire process in a manner that always made me feel comfortable and prepared. Everything went the way he told me it would, there were no surprises. Vince is very personable and very knowledgeable. I developed great rapport with him very quickly and felt as though he was always looking out for my best interest. Vince was very instrumental in helping me obtain a settlement that allowed me and my children to retain the marital home thereby minimizing the impact of the divorce on my children. I highly recommend Vince and his team.

Scott was my attorney for a divorce that got very messy. Among other things, my ex-wife attempted to relocate my daughter to another city, had me served with a frivolous restraining order, and tried to have our parenting consultant removed after our divorce. Throughout all of this, Scott provided excellent representation and guidance. Early in the case, he laid out a roadmap for how I would be able to maintain involvement in my daughter’s life and protect her interests. He showed me how I would be at serious risk of losing parenting time with my daughter if I did not make the right choices. As the divorce progressed, things went as Scott predicted, and I now have a custody and parenting time arrangement that is great for both my daughter and me. Scott was never rattled by anything he encountered with my case. He has deep knowledge of Minnesota family law, and he had a strategic approach to every situation we faced. He gave me wise advice and encouraged me to take the high road. He was highly professional and ethical, and he helped me minimize my legal costs. I can tell that he cares about helping his clients, not just getting the job done. Another thing I appreciated was that Scott tries to avoid litigation whenever possible. He prefers to settle things through mediation or direction negotiation, and he avoids pointless conflict. However, when my ex-wife took aggressive actions against me, Scott gave strong responses and forced her to back down. He tries to keep things amicable, but he is not afraid to take a strong stance when necessary. We had only a single court hearing, when my ex-wife attempted to have our parenting consultant removed after the divorce. Scott gave compelling oral arguments and helped the judge see our perspective, even though she initially was inclined to grant my ex-wife’s request. She ruled in our favor after the hearing, and there is no doubt that Scott’s courtroom arguments were key to that outcome. I feel very fortunate to have worked with Scott in my divorce. I could not have asked for a better outcome, and Scott’s representation and advice are what made it possible. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a family law attorney.

I had a very difficult family law issue regarding my ex-spouse's ongoing parenting plan violations and documented parental alienation efforts on my daughter. I had spent years working w/ past attorneys and family therapists to help ameliorate some of the more destructive effects of my kids' mother's behavior. The clock was running out quickly for any type of legally enforceable remedies - family therapy or otherwise. Scott promptly assessed my case via his legal assistant and decided that I had run out of legal remedies. I still needed more info so I scheduled a paid consultation. When we finally met, Scott immediately cut to the chase and in just a few minutes gave me a complete and definitive legal prognosis about winning any additional legal action or even getting my daughter into any type of reunification therapy. Zippo chance. I had previously spent thousands working w/ another attorney just trying to get this answered. Scott correctly perceived that our family issues were far more than legal. He spent the remaining 45-50 minutes of our 1 hour consult giving me some of the best family therapy advice I ever had. He had seen a lot of parental alienation cases and understood the long-term affect on adolescents and parents. He was empathetic. He understood the big picture. I would go so far as to say that single session was transformative. I so wish I had found him at the beginning of my divorce. With Scott, I knew I would have definitely gotten what I paid for. For all who read this, please be aware that for many going through a divorce, you get one chance to do it right. After that, you can nibble at the edges w/ some modifications but if you don't have a competent attorney fighting for you from the start, you could get utterly steamrollered. I spent more on legal fees trying to enforce a court order drawn up by my original "econo-lawyer" then I did for the original divorce. Scott knew what I needed and not only did he not try to sell me more futile legal services, he even waived the consult fee. His generosity of time, counsel and spirit made him stand out head and shoulders w/ any other family attorney I worked with over the past 7 years.

Tim is one of the best attorneys EVER . His fees for one are in line and he’s more than willing to work with you. As far as not knowing what he’s doing is laughable. I’ve dealt with several attorneys already and Tim by far is the best! I’m fighting for custody for my daughter and Tim is fighting for her as if its his own child. His tenacity, knowledge of the law and preparedness is incredible. When in court Tim’s courtroom demeanor and honest approach helps to ease my fear knowing he is truly looking out for only the best interest of my daughter . I don’t know where I’d be without him. I can’t thank him enough for his willingness to go the extra mile for my daughter and see her safe from harm. I would recommend Tim in a second. George Oldsmar Florida.

I met Patricia Cistaro when she was a senior associate attorney working for a large family law practice in New Jersey. During my initial consultation with Patricia, she advised me of the requirements to support a viable alimony modification case. I was impressed with her expertise and candidness, so when I felt it was the right time to petition the courts for alimony modification, I sought out Patricia and found that she had started her own practice. I engaged Patricia to represent me in a motion to modify or terminate my alimony obligation due to a significant change in circumstances, my approaching retirement age, and my ex-wife’s suspected cohabitation. Patricia provided valuable guidance to me with regard to obtaining evidence and providing documentation that I needed to support my case. She communicated with my ex-wife and espoused the benefits of trying to reach an agreement of modification without the necessity of filing a costly motion. Patricia communicated to my ex-wife the date we intended to file a motion with the court if we were unable to negotiate a modification. Just before the expiration of the deadline, my ex-wife gave notice of her imminent marriage and shortly thereafter signed a Consent Order that officially terminated my alimony obligation. During Patricia’s engagement, I received “big” firm legal expertise and experience, but with a comfortable “small” firm closeness. Hopefully, I will never need to engage the services of a family law attorney again, but if I did, I would hire Patricia Cistaro without reservation.

I worked with a divorce attorney before. I didn't know I could have been more protected until I found Arelis. I wish my previous attorney could have protected me more. Actually, I wish I found Arelis sooner and hired her as my attorney back then. This is the second time I had to go back to court because my ex wanted to stop paying child support. Going through a divorce is very stressful and emotional beyond words can describe. Arelis helped calming me down as I was so lost, nervous and stressed. I didn't even know how to protect myself and my kids because emotions were too overwhelming. Anything to do with court process could be intimidating. Going through all the emotions, I lost my thoughts, didn't know where to begin, what to do and didn't even know what questions to ask. Arelis presented all my options out in a way that I could easily understand. She got me covered in the areas that I did not even think of. Most importantly, she showed me that she cared about my case and wanted to help!! If you feel emotionally exhausted while going through a divorce & want someone who you can TRUST to fight for you, your rights and protect you, I HIGHLY recommend Arelis Hughes. I'll forever appreciate her, her heart & knowledge to help people!!

Michael Reinhardt is a fantastic attorney to whom I will be forever grateful. He is friendly, caring, capable and experienced. I messed up badly several year’s ago and was caught red-handed, in the act. I was arrested, jailed, and charged with a felony criminal offense that carried a mandatory minimum sentence of eighteen months imprisonment. The outcome - guilty - seemed inevitable, and I dreaded the consequences. Michael Reinhardt represented me during the many court appearances I had to make. He explained the various stages of the judicial proceedings, and contacted me regularly to discuss progress and the strategy he was following to best defend me. Remarkably, after much consultation and discussions, Michael managed to have the charges against me dropped altogether - to my immense relief of not just me, but my entire family, all of whom had been living under a cloud of anxiety. I cannot thank Michael enough for literally giving me back my life. I’ve changed a lot since then and intend to stay far away from trouble in the future. Although I hope not to need Michael’s help in the same way again, I know who to call if ever I do!

We all know someone for something. A great plumber , carpenter etc. My Family Law Attorney is Achsa Klug and her team. They are sharp, direct and get the job done. They set the right expectations and deliver. Everyone that i recommend to her. Thanks me. I don't get anything in return. You never want to be in any type of situation she deals with. But, the best course of action is to hire an subject matter expert that can help you in simple English terms, and yet legally be able to advise the courts on your behalf. A+ service! Nicholas

Attorneys Rick Hermida and Dairon Buergo are by far a tremendous duo. Not only are they great at what they do, they are very responsive and very professional. Each one of them went the extra mile to make sure everyone understood what was in front of them. Our family was facing a possible horrific outcome, but thankfully, that outcome never saw the light of day. Thank you, Rick & Dairon. You've both been a part of our family for so many years, it'll take some time getting used to the idea we will no longer be talking with you. We can't thank you enough for everything you did for our family. For anyone who needs an experienced, educated, and professional attorney(s), we highly recommend Mr. Rick Hermida and Mr. Dairon Buergo for all of your legal needs.

I have nothing but gratitude and respect for Christina Friedman, whose expert guidance was crucial in getting my monthly maintenance payments reduced after a significant change in my circumstances. Her strategic advice and understanding of Colorado law allowed me to reach a fair agreement with my ex without going through a costly court battle. Ms. Friedman provided clear and timely advice throughout the process that helped me navigate discussions with confidence. Her professionalism and wisdom not only helped me to achieve a significant reduction in payments, but also saved me thousands in legal fees. Her empathetic approach and effective communication made a challenging process much smoother. I highly recommend Ms. Friedman for anyone needing knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate legal representation in family law.

What else can I say about Christina, Derica & Kendra, The whole team held the stuff together when they needed to. I knew a divorce process was not easy however with my health issues attached and everyday life too, there were days that I really didn't know what I was doing, where I was going, did I miss something or forget to pay my bill... the list goes on. I thank you Christina for every "heads up" call you made to me, your sharing of your feelings BEFORE forwarding the opposing counsels emails and your overall human-ness during this process, I am so grateful I chose your firm to represent me... again Thank you, you all Rock!

My family and I have known and used Mr Todd Eder’s services for over 25 years. Todd has done an outstanding job from start to finish on three separate real estates closings and personal injury due to a car crash. He was also our probate attorney, and did a fantastic job. His work ethic is above and beyond. Todd always kept us in the light and was easy to reach when ever I had a question, or simply needing an update. Todd is extremely competent and organized. He filed everything in a timely manner. Mr Eder’s fees were very reasonable, especially for the quality of work that he does. Mr Eder is my family attorney and I wish him many more healthy years of good practice. I highly recommend Todd Eder, who I believe is one of the best in the business. He truly cares about each and every client that walks thru his door. Thank you Todd! Sam and family

My divorce was not particularly complex but my wife hired a top-tier lawyer who has a reputation for shenanigans. I interviewed quite a few attorneys but only Charles had the experience and character to navigate dynamic legal challenges without resorting to dirty tactics. Charles established and maintained a firm and respectful strategy that was sound from the start. We not only settled more favorably than id even hoped for, something he very much had to coach me through, we did so without creating animosity. My xwife and I are now in a healthy coparenting relationship and we are all happily moving on to our next chapter of life.

Charles and his team came into my case after about six months where I had other representation and made tremendous strides towards getting me a fair settlement. Charles's experience was well worth my investment with him. I could not have been more pleased with the final outcome. I can assure anyone who faces a challenging divorce process, that Charles is incredibly capable and determined in his representation of his clients.

Carolann Aschoff was my attorney in my recently completed divorce. Although my divorce was extremely amicable and my ex-wife and I had pretty much decided and agreed on everything prior to the papers even being filed I felt the need to have an attorney review our property settlement agreement to ensure that I was protected and I chose Ms. Aschoff. Ms. Aschoff was extremely knowledgeable and ensured that I was protected in all aspects of my divorce. Additionally, she was extremely patient with me regarding all the questions that I had during the process and explained everything to me in a way that was easily understandable while making me feel comfortable with the decisions that I had to make throughout the process. I would highly recommend Ms. Aschoff to anyone who is in need of an attorney for any family matter.

Carolann was recommended to me by a family friend who also utilized her services for a divorce, and I could not have been happier with the decision I made to hire her as my attorney. Carolann was very professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. She was quick to anticipate my needs, and was excellent with following up on issues as needed. I am very happy with the services that were provided in my situation, and I would recommend Carolann to anyone seeking legal representation.

Ms. Aschoff has been my go-to attorney for over a decade. From day 1 to year 11+, she and her staff have always treated me as if I am their #1 client, and they gave my case the time and priority it needed. Ms. Aschoff has gone above and beyond, regardless of the day or night, she'll respond to my inquiries. She's an amazing attorney and person all around. I couldn't have gotten through some of the scariest and darkest moments of my divorce a child custody battles without her experience and help.

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.
