Ms. Kelly is an excellent lawyer. She handled my legal matter quickly and with the highest level of professionalism. She kept me informed every step of the way and guided me through my situation as if we had work together many times when in fact this was my first dealings with her. I would highly recommend her for an attorney and if the need ever arose, I would hire her again without any issue.

It is my pleasure to have Michael J Laucello as my personal injury attorney. He is empathetic, competent, professional and always ready to go the extra mile for his client. I was bitten by a dog several months ago. He did an outstanding job to make sure I was well taken care of. During the first time we met, he had spent a lot of time explaining every detail related to my case, had lots of patience with me and answered every question I had. At that time, he also came up with several specialists around the area near me out of his head, and wrote their name down on a piece of paper to make sure I can find the right doctor to get the right treatment. That was the moment I knew I had found the right person to handle my case. During these months, He fought hard on my behalf when I was overwhelmed, kept me totally informed of the case progress and also achieved a greater outcome than I could have ever imagined. I am grateful for his hard work. I would recommend Michael J Laucello and absolutely he is the best!

Specifically her work for me had been in conjunction with her representing my wife in a very messy and scary divorce from her previous husband, a sadistic narcissist who was stalking, harassing, and slandering her at every turn. He would threaten anyone who helped my wife with legal action, which included trying to get a protective order against me to keep me away from her and our two minor children. Laura represented me in that matter, and it was quickly and summarily dismissed.

My son is a disabled veteran and faced some divorce and criminal issues. We hired Scott Weight to represent my son. Scott introduce us to Laura because of her background and experience with the intricacies of military issues. We found Laura to be very knowledgeable, dedicated, and committed to our sons representation. She was blunt and bold, and it was obvious she cared about her client and what was right, not just winning or making money.

Laura literally saved my life. I won't get into details, but I had a very sticky family situation and criminal case that she compassionately handled and went the extra mile constantly to resolve. I am alive with a happy family thanks to Laura. Also important to note is that Laura is extremely affordable compared to other lawyers. I am a college student and was able to afford her fees. I would give her 10 stars if I could

When you’ve been wrongfully terminated, there’s only one option, Michael Elliot. When you need support, and commitment Michael Elliott provides that. In a time when you’ve been wronged Michael Elliott cares, not only from a financial perspective, but from an integrity perspective as well. It’s not always about money.

Michael Elliott values your time, with little interruption to your new employer, and family time. Within the first few minutes of our first phone conversation, I knew my previous employers team didn’t stand a chance. I was right! He understands you as a client, and gets results in a timely manner, and he expedites the process to the best of his ability.

I met Chanda after taking divorce classes at the Women's Center and hiring and firing two awful lawyers. The first was dishonest and the second was from a firm that charged a high retainer and exorbitant hourly fees and then took days/weeks to return emails. I ended up paying a lot over three months for them to create one document that went nowhere. They didn't offer wise counsel and just sat on things to get the case to court and squeeze more money from me and other clients. After months of their ineptitude and greed with no end in sight, I found Chanda. She has been a blessing and is simply, THE BEST ATTORNEY IN THE WORLD!
TOP 10 REASONS WHY SHE'S THE BEST: Chanda is honest, intelligent, rational/logical, experienced, fair, kind, courteous, prompt, hard-working and efficient. She is on top of everything. Chanda will actually get in touch with you vs. you trying hard to reach her. She responds to emails!!! What a breath of fresh air! That is the beauty of working with an attorney from a small boutique law firm who has years of experience and cares about her clients.
At our first meeting, Chanda met with me in her warm and welcoming office which is beautiful, well located and unlike all the corporate firms I had visited before. She listened intently and gave me a realistic appraisal of what to expect. Chanda did not waste my time or money. She helped me figure out what I wanted most. I shared my 10 points with her and within two days, she wrote them into terms in such a factual, fair and kind writing style that my ex-husband immediately responded that he was surprised and agreed with 95% of it. We worked out the details and signed terms within a month! THAT IS THE MAGIC OF CHANDA KINSEY.
Don't waste your time and money on the sadly, millions of inept, dishonest and greedy lawyers out there. Sorry to give them a bad name but after meeting and hiring so many awful ones who cared only about their pockets, I was happy I decided not to pursue law and realized how rare it is to find a good one. CHANDA IS A GEM.
She made me feel that whether I was the wife or husband, she'd be equitable. My ex-husband liked her so much, he ended up firing his attorney who likely wanted things to go to court and hired a notary so we could sign terms and move on! YES, SHE'S THAT AWESOME! Chanda will help you get to the finish line. I hope no one has to go through the ordeal I went through in finding a respectable attorney. I'm so glad I found her. Look no further. Save your time and money and put your trust in an attorney who actually cares about justice and her clients. She is worth every minute and dollar I spent. A blessing from heaven.
CALL CHANDA TODAY! GOOD LUCK!

Another victory and an exemplary proof that nothing can beat Ms. Kinsey. My ex-wife who attempted to obtain a restraining order against me based on false allegations, has faced a humiliating defeat, where the court quashed her request citing that the allegations were not 'Credible'. This wouldn't have been possible without Ms. Kinsey's ability to effectively present the case and expose the lies.
---
My ex-wife tried to play yet another ploy, where she filed 'motion to rehear' to have the court reopen the child custody case citing falsely that she was coerced into signing the child custody documents earlier. I witnessed Ms. Kinsey roared in the court, she fought ferociously and argued so effectively that left all of us in awe. And not to mention we won the case!. I and my daughter shall always be thankful to Ms. Kinsey and her team.

Ms. Kinsey has been so caring and compassionate, a great listener and patient. She listened to what I wanted and explained what will work out best for me. I got the highest care and professionalism from her.
Ms. Kinsey got me full legal and physical custody of my daughter in the absentia of my runaway ex-wife. Ms. Kinsey was calm when I was frantic and spoke effectively on my behalf when I had a hard time finding my own voice. I couldn't possible recommend her more highly. Ms. Chanda Kinsey is the absolute best!

Mr. Koller was a beacon of hope at a time when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. Not only was he able to defend me from an unjust accusation, his aggressive and intellectual approach to defend me far surpassed any expectation I believed possible. His unwavering dedication and passion for his clients best interest is exactly what you desire in an attorney. I am eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Koller without reservation.

I was referred from a very respected executive to contact Brandon Alexander Robinson, what can I say. I have been dealing with a unethical competitor who has been defaming and slandering our business. He conveyed to me what I needed to do and know before I proceed with my civil defamation case. He took the time out of his busy schedule to help me out when several other attorneys wouldn't even take my call! Priceless....I am now putting together the information I need and will definitely be contacting him asap. I will recommend him always to both family and friends...Believe me it's hard to find men with big mind and big hearts. God Bless you Brandon

From the initial consultation to the final paperwork, Heidi was professional, knowledgeable, and patient. She explained every part of the process and, patiently, answered every question that I had.

Heidi is so easy to be with and explains everything so clearly. She is thorough and professional and also extremely honest about what she can and can't do if we agree to go through a collaborative divorce. She was incredibly communicative, always did what she said she was going to do in a timely manner and made what is naturally a very difficult situation that much easier. I didn't have to worry about anything.

My first law firm and a very fantastic one indeed. Before the court day, communication with the Paralegal, Alicia Orellana, was excellent in preparing for my court day. Alicia is professional and very responsive. Paul Mickelsen was my attorney for a reckless driving case. During court day, I was very nervous as this was my first reckless driving case, and while I was in the courtroom, Paul approached me a couple of times and told me not to worry and that he'll take care of me, which was very reassuring and calmed me down. Paul got my reckless case completely dismissed, and the result was much better than many cases I have seen in the courtroom, which did not have a lawyer. Thank you, Paul, Alicia, and the team of Tate Bywater.

I can not thank Attorney Wade enough for her help. Initially, I felt helpless and hopeless without the professional guidance and voice required to "go up against" someone as intimidating and resourceful as *****. Had it not been for Mrs. Wade, my case would have gone in a very different direction with ***** manipulating everything in h** favor, escaping accountability, and silencing me in the process. Attorney Wade's time and energy donated to this case changed the outcome of my future and empowered me to move onward and upward with my life. She is an excellent attorney who I will be forever grateful for.

Words really can't describe the level of professionalism and expertise Attorney Wade possesses. I had a nightmare divorce/custody case that carried over from North Carolina for a total of four years. At the time I came in contact with Attorney Wade I was on my fourth lawyer and I spent almost 20k in legal fees. In time, I had become a "professional court testifier" and became very familiar with the legal process. I knew a good attorney when I saw one. I did my research and Attorney Wade had pedigree (which I heavily believe in) and I read several Washington Post articles that she was profiled in. I was impressed. When I had my first consult with Attorney Wade, I knew I struck gold. She was able to listen to my concerns, see the big picture, and she dissected 3 years of my litigation timeline in 45 mins. A tentative gameplan was formulated and the strengths and weaknesses of my case were discussed. We worked together as a team and when it was time to make strategic decisions, she always had a plan in mind and I often agreed with her and we proceeded accordingly. She never blew me off. She responded to my emails and telephone calls within a very reasonable time. Even when she was caring for a sick family member she still found the time to respond. In short, Attorney Wade managed to convince my ex-wife and opposing counsel to a consent agreement that really benefited me and my children. I'm so happy and pleased with the overall process and result of my case. Attorney Wade will always be my attorney as long as she is practicing and I'm a resident of Virgina. HIGHLY INTELLIGENT AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! 5 STARS
Thank you Attorney Wade

From our initial consultation to the final day in court, Ms. Wade showed a thorough knowledge and understanding of the legal process, and left no concern in my mind that we would ever lose the case. Even when pressed by the Judge, Ms. Wade showed unwavering resolve and put her expertise of family law on full display. If you are looking for a family law attorney in Virginia, Rebecca Wade should be the first one you contact. I assure you that you will look no further after you sit down with her.

I had a very difficult case considering the father was not willing to negotiate anything. Janet and Waneta jumped right in and did what they do.

Janet and her team did a wonderful job with my case. Every issue and question was addressed and handled both quickly and thoroughly. She went above and beyond to keep me informed with the latest information regarding my case and was extremely helpful and prepared for my hearing. My wife and I were able to get full custody of my daughter and all of the provisions asked for in my court order were granted. Janet goes above and beyond for all of her clients and made sure that I knew my case and outcome was important to her. Janet and her team were hands down the best and most professional attorneys I have worked with and I highly recommend them to anyone who is going through a divorce, domestic issue, or any other civil issues.

I was a former client of Mike Salazar, actually I used his services twice. I went through a difficult divorce, up against high priced attorneys in town, and Mike was able to represent me, battle on my behalf and makes things as close to "fair" and "just" as possible. His office manager, Deairea, is also incredibly knowledgable and supportive. They make a great team. During a very painful chapter of my life this team did an outstanding job for me. Thank you to you both!!

Mr. Hawley handled all aspects of my case flawlessly. When " the other side" tried to prevent me from seeing my daughters... Lee filed a motion and within weeks I had visitations restored. Lee handled all aspects of my divorce and the equitable distribution process with the utmost professionalism. His knowledge of family law is unparalleled.
When "the other side" went back on her word and tried to modify child support, Lee made quick work of getting an unmerited case DISMISSED!
At every turn Mr. Hawley went the extra mile, even having to request the recording of the hearing because the other attorney didn't remember the ruling correctly!
I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Hawley for any family law issues that might arise in the future!

I recently hired Ashley to help me through the painful and complicated mess we call divorce. As a man I was very concerned with coming out of this process being taken advantage of as it is my understanding men typically do not fare well. Ashley was caring, very knowledgeable, and a joy to work with. She was very proactive and offered solid beneficial advise and suggestions. I am thrilled that I chose her to represent me and cannot say enough good things about her and her staff!!!

I recently hired Ashley-Nicole Russell to help with my separation. Both she and Cassidy Johnson went above and beyond my expectations and made a difficult situation less stressful. They made me feel comfortable talking to them and answered any and all questions quickly. They worked with my schedule and their office staff was always very friendly and helpful. Ashley-Nicole Russell is very honest and knowledgeable and when I made decisions based on emotion she was quick to get me back on track in doing what was best for the children. Not only do they work hard for their clients, they truly care about them. I highly recommend the Law Offices of Ashley-Nicole Russell.

Jaime was there for me from day one. She guided me through all the paperwork and choices I had to make. Jamie listened when I had questions about the guardian ad luteum and his lawyer. She thoughly explained going to trial and supported me in my decisions. She had to tell me some hard facts that I had to swallow without her I would not have been able to see that was the best thing for me. She was very reasonable in cost and works with you to make payment arrangements. I would highly recommend her.

After a long and unhappy marriage, my former spouse and I decided to hire Juliet to mediate our legal separation. We had initially hired our own legal representatives and that was proving to me a true nightmare and promised a protracted, painful and expensive pathway. We took a pause and decided to try a mediator and were so fortunate to find Juliet and her paralegal, Jentri. As one can imagine, splitting from a spouse of nearly 4 decades was a complex, conflict-riddled, contentious experience. Juliet somehow managed to maintain her incredibly professional, calm and neutral stance while we hammered out our settlement contract. Her billing was beyond fair and well accounted for. Her work, including the computations needed, was carefully prepared and meticulously documented. Given the behaviors she had to tolerate and the "tattling" she was subjected to, she remained supportive of both parties and respectful toward us. When it was over and we met to sign paperwork, she was very empathetic and left me with a box of tissues and time to compose myself. I know we were difficult to deal with and she must have had to use all of her skills to coach us to the conclusion. A year later, my former spouse asked for a divorce and wanted to use her to complete that last step. Again, she and Jentri were professional, brief and did not get involved in the drama surrounding the divorce. Since her work had been so thorough during the separation, the divorce was quick and simple and they took care of everything. I was so grateful! I would highly recommend Juliet to anyone that thinks they can navigate a marital split with some semblance of civility, the ability to "be in the same room" negotiating the terms and avoid a costly and destructive battle.

Mr. Harding has been such a blessing as I have navigated through this difficult process. I can not comprehend how much time and detail must go into his thorough research to ensure the best outcome for myself and his other clients. I could not have navigated my way through this legal battle with respect to my private student loans without him.
He is a very dedicated and driven individual who has proven to be very trustworthy. During this process I have gotten a glimpse of the complexities of legal matters, and was grateful to have Mr. Harding there every step of the way. He and his associate Karen have always made themselves available if I had questions or concerns. Because of Mark's patient nature, I always felt as if all of our conversations were very thorough, and I always felt as if I was kept up to date on every aspect of my case. Mark also maintained a honest and straightforward approach throughout our correspondence, and was quickly able to reassess the situation when necessary.
In my experience he has been extremely patient, provided guidance, and always maintained a professional attitude. I entered this situation feeling as if I was in a very dire situation, but I quickly was put at ease when I recognized Mark's compassionate and genuine demeanor. He will do everything he can to help you through the complexities of the legal process. I would highly recommend Mr. Hardig to anyone without reservation, and have complete faith in his exemplary dedication to his clients and knowledge of the law. I am forever grateful to have had Mark represent me.

Where do I begin? Excellent representation. When you are a man going into family court to defend yourself against modifications to child support or ask for more custody, you can assume you are fighting an uphill battle. There are too many laws that do not take into consideration what good fathers do. Who wants to document every single detail of fatherhood to prove yourself? Well, I wanted the best representation I could find no matter what it costs or how far I had to travel. After doing my research, The Morris Firm was the clear winner. However, I still did not expect the quality of service that I received. I know lawyers cannot guarantee results, but this attorney is fast and fierce, and I am sure that the opposing counsel did not want to go to trial with this guy. First, when you retain an attorney, it is always best to hire someone that only does that area of law. Second, when you do the consultation and determine that the attorney has a personal passion for the area, hire them. You cannot buy passion and you cannot learn it in law school. Third, when you are dealing with your life you must sacrifice to get the best. His work ethic, thoroughness, professionalism, preparation, and trial strategy are all unmatched. Do not try to get a budget lawyer that practices everything. He or she will not do the research and has not kept up with the law and cases, and he or she does not have the specific experience of an attorney that practices one area of law. When I saw my first brief, it frightened me. I actually was thinking that we should ease up a little. He is very serious about giving the best offense and defense legally possible. And Elizabeth Morris is the best. She makes you feel like family and steps out front with skill and expertise. I will keep this short, but I really recommend The Morris Firm for any family court cases that he covers. I’d say he’s the best at this. And men need expert counsel in today’s legal system. Anything less would be asking for trouble that will last a long time.

Jon did excellent work on my case! Due to a change of personal circumstances, I needed to modify child support. My ex spouse insisted that any attempts to modify child support would lead to an increase in payments, which sounded outrageous to me as they were already higher than I could reasonably afford. So I retained Jon for legal assistance, and he ultimately negotiated much more favorable terms for me. Thank you!

My fiancé and I have been going through an EXTREMELY difficult custody battle with his ex-wife. It has been pretty much a nightmare and, unfortunately, the possibility of reaching a compromise has been impossible. Melissa and her paralegal, Norelle, have been a god send throughout this entire process. I can’t thank them both enough for their hard work on our behalf. They have been so understanding when things get tense and have helped alleviate so much anxiety and worry. They are truly amazing!

Unfortunately my Mother passed away without having a Will or any of her Estate affairs in order. Prior to my mothers passing I had never handled an Estate before. I contacted a few attorneys but didn't feel they were the right fit for all of the complications pertaining to the Estate. Some attorney's weren't even willing to take it on. A neighbor of mine (who is an attorney) suggested that I contact Mr. Andre McDonald to handle my Mothers Estate. After our initial phone consultation, I knew immediately that he was the the right fit for all that needed to be accomplished. It was around the holidays. Mr. McDonald went above and beyond the typical duties that involve getting an Estate opened. He stayed involved and was on top of every aspect regarding the Estate throughout the entire process. He followed through with getting the Estate closed in a timely fashion. Mr. McDonald was very professional and knew exactly what to do and how to handle the Estate. He was always informative and reliable. Mr. McDonald always personally returned my phone calls and my emails in a timely manner. His staff was very pleasant and a joy to work with during a very hard time in my life. He kept me up to date on anything that needed to be done. He took the time to answer any questions or concerns that I had. Dealing with the loss of a loved one is a challenge within itself but Mr. McDonald put my mind at ease. I felt comfortable and confident knowing that he was the attorney handling my Mothers Estate during a very hard and difficult ordeal. I highly recommend Mr. Andre McDonald for any and all of your Estate needs.

I had a difficult case. A true not me case. Because there was no arrest or fingerprints it was very hard to prove it wasn't me. I discovered I had a warrant for my arrest when I applied for an apartment and they did a background check. I talked to him after researching for a couple weeks. He gave me more information in a 20 minute conversation than I could find in 2 weeks of research, before I even hired him. He did way more than originally thought necessary. His diligence, wisdom, knowledge, years of experience & research that left no stone unturned, eventually cleared my name. He also insisted the warrant be lifted while clearing up this huge mess. I could go through the process feeling safe w/o fear of going to jail. He actually did way more than what I originally hired him for. He didn't charge me more even with me asking about it. Scott Levine is amazing! All that experience, wisdom, knowledge, connections, diligence and tenacity, yet still generous at heart. I would hire him for ANY & ALL legal matters! Scott Levine would be a great deal at twice the price! Your in good care with Scott & can trust Scott Levine implicitly!

Debra is truly a gift of a human being! My family member advised me to speak with her regarding my custody case that seemed to just drag for the last few years. Working with Debra is the greatest experience I could've been given and I hope everyone chooses her for their legal desires. Her knowledge, care and communication has awarded me with the blessing of a breeze of a case in and out of the courtroom. She fights her hardest and is clearly very successful in her career. She has made me feel like my family is truly a priority to her and her ability to take the stress out of such an emotional case makes her the greatest attorney you will ever connect with.

Divorce case with abuse and child endangerment concerns. I hired one attorney just before Covid, she quit. I had to them hire another, and chose one based on general local recommendations - but she allowed my abusive ex’s attorney to drag the case in for 2 years, and HUGE bills. She would forget conversations, and forget to file things. I couldn’t officially switch attorneys again mid-case, so I paid for a very affordable consult with Ruth twice. I got more information and help from her in those brief consults than I did in 2 years with my regular attorney.
Knowing what I know now- I will only ever recommend Ruth!

As a 21 year old who was driving home from work after a shift drink, I felt that my arrest and DUI case were unfair. After that night, I was lost, scared, and did not know what to do. But the best thing that could have happened happened: I had Harold Joseph Cronk on my side. Harold is extremely professional, and never wavered in confidence. I am extremely happy to report that with Harold Joseph Cronk on my side, my DUI case was dropped entirely. I would highly recommend Harold to anybody in a similar situation to the one that I was in.

I hired David Guy Stevens to help me out on a very complicated case and I am so happy with the results. David Guy Stevens saved me in my case. The odds were against me and we were given very little time to prepare, but Mr. Stevens knocked out of the park and I am beyond blessed of the results. I cannot thank the man enough. He was very responsive, understanding, and literally updated me on everything as the case went along. He really did fight for me and kept things honest. If you’re looking for a fighter to have your back, David Guy Stevens is your guy. I highly recommend him and he would be the first for me to call if anything were to come up ever again.

After an unfortunate situation while a period in the EEUU I needed to find an attorney who could take care of a messy situation. A DUI resulted in probation and I needed to complete some DUI education, counseling and community service during the probation year. As a result of the DUI arrest, my VISA was revoked and I had to leave the country for good. Luckily I had enough time to complete the DUI education and counseling before leaving and the judge authorized me to do community service time in my country. When the court day arrived, after a year, I was not able to enter the country, as my VISA was revoked, and I failed to appear in front of the judge. A warrant was issued and complicated even more the situation. My original attorney kept telling me that he could do nothing about this situation and that I needed to be in the country to resolve it, what it was obviously not a possibility.
That is when I contacted David Guy Stevens, from minute 0 he made me feel confident in the process. First at all he informed me that he could represent me in front of the judge without me being present in the country. He took the time to understand the case, he explained to me all possible outcomes and, most importantly, he treated me with sensibility and patience. (Exactly what I needed in such a vulnerable situation). His communication through the process was impeccable, he took care of the case in a timely manner, and the outcome was the best possible, my case was cleared and I potentially will be able to enter again the country for business. Mr. Stevens is a MAGNIFICENT ATTORNEY, he will service you with respect and sensibility. He obviously is an expert in the field and I could not be happier with the whole experience.

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:
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
