Very professional but compassionate. Efficient, prompt, dedicated, not just him but his entire team. After an experience with a previous attorney, Mr. Treece changed my perspective and it was a fabulous experience. And even though the time I was going through was not the best, Mr. Treece and his team made everything easier. They sincerely made me feel that for them, I was not just another case, but they took care of me in every detail, not only providing me with information but even beyond that, they gave me all the support. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Treece and your entire team, for all your support, integrity and professionalism (But the way, a judge was the one who recommended you to me, that says it all). Muy profesional pero compasivo. Eficaz, rápido, dedicado, no sólo él sino todo su equipo. Después de una experiencia con un abogado anterior, el Sr. Treece cambió mi perspectiva y fue una experiencia fabulosa. Y aunque el momento por el que estaba pasando no era el mejor, el Sr. Treece y su equipo hicieron que todo fuera más fácil. Sinceramente me hicieron sentir que para ellos, yo no era un caso más, sino que me cuidaron en cada detalle, no sólo proporcionándome información sino incluso más allá, me dieron todo el apoyo. Gracias Sr. y Sra. Treece y a todo su equipo, por todo su apoyo, integridad y profesionalidad (Por cierto, un juez fue quien me los recomendó, eso lo dice todo).

We were referred to this lawyer by a previous Duval county (Florida) judge after the separation of the unwed parents of a child with the indication that the mother might leave the state with the child and will not return. Florida law does not grant legal rights to an unwed father until paternity, time-sharing and shared responsibilities are established in court. Overall, I am very satisfied with the result of this temporary hearing, giving credit to Debra and Thomas Treece. We are still waiting for the final hearing and hope that the Treece law team will continue to represent us fairly and honestly. The Treece law team does not shoot for bashing the opposite party. From the beginning on, it was clear that they want a fair and honest outcome with no lies and only honesty. The reason to seek help was to fairly establish legal rights for the father and do all we can to benefit the child. The Treece law team maintained to fairly reach an agreement and asked for the continuation of the child's primary parent, which is tough to establish if it is the father who performed most parental responsibilities. One "thing" I would like to mention is that I wish that the Treece law team would be more readily available when the father has an IMMEDIATE legal question, due to the mother using unfair tactics, lies and accusations that are unwarranted. I would love to at times receive a quick, brief legal advise right then and there, though acknowledge that we are not their only clients. If you are looking for an aggressive lawyer to bash your opponent, keep looking. If you are looking for an aggressive FAIR lawyer, "fighting" for what is the honest truth and the best for the child, you found a calm legal team working for you.

Once my daughter received an order from the court, my daughter interviewed with many other attorneys. They would only allow her to talk with them. Upon meeting Mrs. Treece, I felt an immediate connection to her and Mr. Treece. In my opinion, they are like family to us. They are very approachable as well as professional. My daughter who is a new attorney herself knew this case needed experienced attorneys that would give her their best efforts. According to my daughter at trial, they did just that. Their entire staff has been amazing. I am very thankful for everything they have done and continue to do for my daughter and granddaughter!!!

Jim did a fantastic job during my lengthy divorce proceeding. He was very knowledgeable and prepared, and skillfully guided me through all the sometimes ugly and painful steps. I'm grateful to have had such a strong attorney that could so brilliantly stand up to the Beverly Hills attorney that my ex hired. Knowing my financial struggles, Jim generously allowed me to make payments on my bill. And to top it off, his office staff is amazing ! I'm a very satisfied client.

Mr. Neavitt was an excellent choice for my custody case matter. I had previously worked with Jarvis, Kreager and Sullivan, a supposedly "big name" in the local Family Law scene, but everything about Mr. Neavitt and his staff was an improvement over that much larger firm. Mr. Neavitt's staff prepared my court filings and did an excellent job from the beginning, and they took the time to get to know my case so that they could effectively communicate my arguments. This was a big deal for me, because the staff at Jarvis did a terrible job, and my wife and I were eventually forced to prepare all of the documents ourselves. On the day of the actual court appearance, Mr. Neavitt was clearly in charge. He seemed to give off an air of competency and control that was felt by everyone, including and especially opposing counsel. I would recommend his office highly to anyone looking to settle a Family Law case.

Mr. Neavitt was my attorney on a complex domestic violence and child custody dispute, and support matter. My complex custody issues included substance abuse, domestic violence and mental illness, all of which Mr. Neavitt skillfully reported to the court over vigorous opposition. I was granted domestic violence temporary restraining orders. The support issues were complex because my husband (self-employed) has refused to produce discovery and any financial information. Mr. Neavitt was able to focus the court's attention directly on these matters, despite the smoke & mirrors & misdirection of my husband and his legal counsel. The result of the hearing was 100% in my favor. Mr. Neavitt's skill, knowledge and Family Law expertise have been well worth the money that I have paid him thus far, and the $25K attorney fee award which he was able to obtain for me yesterday will go a long way toward continuing my legal representation and obtaining a fair distribution of our assets. I am a single mom, on a limited income, and Mr. Neavitt really fought for me. P.S. Mr. Neavitt's staff is fabulous to work with, especially Julie, Claudia and Sue!!

I have known Christina for a few years and recently required her expertise in a child custody case. I found Christina to be very knowledgeable and aggressive and had singleness of mind - that being getting my grandson back in my arms which was accomplished very quickly. This was a difficult time for me and it was very comforting that Christina answered all my questions in a very timely fashion and she made me feel that I was in expert hands. I also know Christina is very ethical and will treat you with the utmost respect and care while providing you with great legal counsel. I would not hesitate for one moment to recommend her to you.

I was lucky enough to meet Jeff Robinson during one of the worst times of our lives. My son was involved in a road rage incident where he unfortunately got in trouble for simply trying to protect himself. Jeff came into our lives, never judged, held our hand every step of the way, and made sure my son was treated right! A simple mistake that could've cost our son a future that he would suffer from indefinitely ended up turning into a positive outcome and a valuable lesson learned. Jeff is not only professional and courteous but he is compassionate and passionate. His work ethic is second to none and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need. Our family will forever be grateful to Jeff.

I hired Attorney Nicole D. Sullivan in 2016 after suffering damage to my C-spine in a fall at work which required 3 discs to be fused with rods and screws to stabilize the vertebrae. In the same fall I was knocked out which caused a concussion and damaged both hips which were totally replaced in coming years. I was forced to retired early and my employer tried to deny my injuries were work related even though they sent me to Lawrence General Hospital via ambulance. They even refused to pay the ambulance cost until Attorney Sullivan pushed the issue. I am now receiving an Accidental Disability Retirement benefit that started in January of 2023. It was a long road with many medical procedures and Attorney Sullivan made sure I was paid and all medical bills paid! I will never be pain free but, my quality of life is better thanks to the offers of Attorney Sullivan and her associates. Highly recommended for workers comp issues!

John represented my relative's side in a divorce. He was direct, clear in his thinking and strategy, and also available to answer any questions we had quickly.

His paralegal Jody is also top notch and very organized and communicative.

As a dad going into an uphill custody battle, I was terrified of what was to come. I had heard all the dad horror stories, of how they put up a fight but in the end the court system sided with mom and more child support was to be paid by the dad. The thought of coming out of this with a victory was a mear desire, and I was convinced that it would be like trying to find ET (only in the movies). But then this amazing person/lawyer was recommended by my wife. And everything changed after bringing her onboard with us to this uphill battle. Her incredible knowledge and attention to detail has been key to our outcome. For Karla there is no hour too late or task to daunting. In court she doesn’t back down from other lawyers while being attacked by them, and she stays a true professional at the same time. Out if court she has coached me, and helped me navigate the backlash that comes with these battles. This terrified, and hopeless dad won custody of his daughter thanks to Karla, and her undying, relentless efforts to get us an unprecedented victory. It is very cliche to say “there are no words to express our gratitude” but it is so true. Karla i will be forever grateful, and in your debt.

Chris Doskocil is the best attorney I've ever interacted with, and stands out against the stereotypes of lawyers. I had a small claims case that never should have went to court. Chris tried to remedy it before he'd even accept payment, and then diligently pursued the case despite how petty it had become. Ultimately, he won both the initial petition and had the frivolous countersuit dismissed, not only proving our case, but doing some last-minute research to defend my family against the bogus countersuit. I fully intend to work with Chris next time I need legal assistance. Best lawyer I've ever worked with!

I had never met Chris before, but I was in need of family law lawyer to represent me at a upcoming court hearing , with a judge in Hillsboro , which I was dreading going to. I google searched and Chris. After calling explaining my situation to him , he reassured me he would be there to represent me, and basically to relax and let him handle it . Not only did he handle the legal aspect of it all, but he did it in a manner that I did not even have to appear in court. He was very thorough, detailed, respectful, and very efficient with his time ( and my money). He has a ,"Can Do" attitude , which I really liked.

I do not know how I would have gotten through my divorce if I had not had Adrienne as my legal counsel. From our very first interaction she was so honest which I appreciated and found refreshing. Adrienne not only knows the law, she practices always keeping the law in the forefront of any conversation or interaction, which was nice for me because it made things simple regarding what could be negotiated and what was simply the law. She worked hard with opposing counsel to ensure the process continued to move forward as she recognized that I could not move forward in life until my divorce was finalized. Adrienne is extremely organized and has an uncanny attention to detail. I trust her implicitly and although I do not plan on getting married or divorced again, if I did find myself in that situation, I would not want any other counsel except Adrienne. Adrienne is a fierce advocate for her clients and she really took the time to get to know me as a person, my sense of humor and values as well as my triggers (I hate that word) or issues where I could easily become emotional. Adrienne is very honest and will give it to you straight so you always know where you stand. She kept me on track, moving forward and managed my emotions with grace and compassion. She gave me reassurance when needed, always keeping the law in the forefront of any decision or negotiation. There were times I thought my head was going to explode, and she was exceptional at bringing me back to the task at hand in order to reach the finish line with fair and equitable resolution for all involved. Divorce is not for me and like many others I didn’t get married to get divorced, but Adrienne made it not only bearable but at times enjoyable. I should clarify, the divorce itself was not pleasant but working with her was an absolutely enjoyable experience and made one of the worst times in my life a little more bearable. We made it through as a team, with her leading the way from start to finish, and I will forever be grateful for her service and the due diligence she gave not only to my case but to me as a person.

I was referred to Adrienne by my sister. Adrienne was very clear on the direction we were going, what needed to be done, and gave helpful advice. I will never regret the day I called her.

I had a nasty breakup, and my ex filed a restraining order to be vindictive. Adrienne was able to get a civil no contact order signed by both of us to avoid court. She was very helpful and knowledgeable. Saved me a lot of grief, and a lot of money. Highly recommend.

I hired Kathryn Hilbush as my divorce attorney, and I lucked out by doing this! My life had been turned upside down by a force to be reckoned with, my now ex-wife, I kid you not, I never had contact with my local police, courts, townships and a whole lot of people I never knew existed, until my divorce. Kathryn Hilbush was professional and guided while helping me through the courts and all the insanity that I was going through with my now ex-wife. If I had to specific, professional !

Honestly, you can't and won't find better attorney than Jordan Merson. He, alongside his team, made one of the most horrific experiences a much easier process to live through. At our first meeting, I felt immediate relief due to the confidence that he displayed. His analytical ability and years of experience enable him to provide thoughtful, and most importantly, practical legal advice that is easy to understand. I am so happy with the outcome of my case, It was way more than I envisioned and it's all thanks to him and his team. I highly commend his firm and I am forever grateful for having him on my side.

Jill represented me on a case in 2010 and again with my divorce in 2020. The 2020 divorce began with me asking Jill for guidance given my suspicions of infidelity on behalf of my then husband. Jill advised me to hire a private investigator whom she had worked with in prior cases. The details from that investigation led to my then husbands admissions of infidelity in a deposition, all in a quick two month time period. Jill pushed me when I needed to be pushed, and guided me on how to live my life with my ex during the divorce process and then the subsequent pandemic. I needed someone strong and powerful on my team to fight for my future and the future of my two small boys. We are now on the other side of the divorce and I was able to move to another state and have the parenting schedule that worked best for my boys. I would recommend Jill and team to anyone - whether they have questions on "what if" or have a "simple" divorce, or extremely complicated, as mine was. You want Jill on your team!

I met Jill about three years ago and hired her to represent me in a very painful divorce. There are almost no words to describe this experience- in the midst of a sad, horrible, and surprising divorce, Jill was a godsend. She is patient, very smart, kind hearted, very honest, and most important, she is an incredible lawyer. Throughout my process, which did include multiple hearings, and a trial, Jill was a voice of reason and a constant source of help and comfort to me. Jill was never unreachable- on holidays and her own personal days, she was never unavailable. She was truly committed to helping me every step of the way. Jill is excellent at complex financial matters and custody situations. On top of that, the entire staff at Schoonmaker, George, & Blomberg operates as a unit and this contributes to the excellent work and legal counsel Jill provides. Jill Blomberg did a tremendous job representing me. During the saddest days of my life, she worked tirelessly for me and I will be grateful forever.

On May 15, 2015 I was served with a child custody suit concerning my adopted grandchild. I was to appear in a NC court on May 21, 2015. I live in Missouri. I found Brad Schulz on the NC Bar Assoc website. Acting on blind faith, I hired Brad and his staff. He went to work immediately requesting copies of information I forgot existed. Through phone conversations he prepared my case. On May 21st he represented me so I didn't have to travel to NC. Working together through today's amazing technology, Brad won that custody case. Either Brad or his assistant, Catherine, were in contact with me at least every other day, if not every day. Because of family dynamics involved, I feel my life was restored. I'll forever be grateful to two people I never met in person, however, they felt like old friends.

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.
