The most amazing lawyer ever. I was completely satisfied and more than happy how he took time and cared deeply about my future and well being. I hired Mr Urbani as my divorce attorney and we spent almost two years together going through a horrible part of my life. We hung in there and he put up with me and a few tears along the way. Always, had a Kleenex box for me and a joke to make me smile. He was amazing in trial. I wish I had a video of it all. He will take special care of you and his staff is wonderful and prompt. I was blessed to have him by my side. I will forever be grateful for this man. He's the number one attorney in my book.

I have known and used Anthony for over 21 years. I have recommended many clients to him - and never has there been a complaint. He wins. He cares about his clients, but tells you like it is. Doesn't sugar coat anything, tells you the law.
I find myself needing to use him again - and I will prevail. I will not stress over my current situation, because he is that good. His life is in his hands and I'm completely comfortable with that.
Can't say enough about him and his firm. His entire form are talented and knowledgeable. Wish there was a 10 star rating.

Attorney Sherri Smelley was a complete God-send to me and my son. We were fighting a long-term tedious battle and she took it head on. Mrs. Smelley has a creative lawyering strategy for each particular instance. She is punctual, respectful, and ALWAYS prepared. She keeps open communication with her clients, and her staff is wonderful as well! My son and I retained Mrs. Smelley for a divorce and child custody case, and she by far exceeded every personal and professional expectation. She is personable and will inquire your opinion and thoughts before making any legal decisions. I highly recommend Sherri Smelley to anyone looking for a superb attorney. I will, without hesitation, retain Sherri Smelley's legal counsel in the future for any other concerning matters!

I've known Sherri for many years on a personal level but recently sought her counsel on some estate issues. She has always been one who strives to seek excellence in everything she does and my mother and I have again seen this excellence again on her professional side as well. She was able to assist with appropriate correspondence and got the job done! She really does care about her clients and puts her heart into serving their needs. Thank you to you and your staff for being such a blessing in such a difficult time.

Mrs Shelly Goff exceeded every expectation. I went in for a consultation on a Thursday morning, my court date was the next Tuesday. She told me what needed to be done and did exactly that. I will always be grateful to her for taking care of me. Fair doesn’t even begin to describe Goff and Goff. My rating would be a 10 plus. She will do exactly what she tells you. Blessings to Goff and Goff!!!

When you engage Chase and his peers at WSK Law you’re getting more than a lawyer- you’re getting what you really need, an advocate and a skilled team. There are plenty of lawyers and law “firms”, there are few lawyers who are advocates and backed by a skilled team. Chase has a clear knowledge of the law, coupled with a clear passion for it, which will serve you well if you retain him and his team.

Sarah did amazing with my case. She was the second lawyer we hired and she did everything I hoped for. Her and her paralegals were quick to respond in any situation and she went out of her way to get a motion for court going. I wouldn't recommend anyone else in the state of Wyoming when it comes to a custody case! Sarah was profession, on the ball, and always looking out for mine and my son best interest.

This was a tough case to begin with. Sarah Jacobs-Manwarren was not our first attorney, she handled the appeal process. It was a year and a half long appeal. Every step of the way she was upfront and straight with us on what to expect. We are extremely happy with the outcome of this case. I will recommend her law firm to anyone that is needing a great family court attorney.

Sarah was amazing. Very dependable, smart, caring and generous. She helped my daughter through a nasty divorce case and wasn't afraid to act quickly as needed to help her. She amazed me as to how much she knew about everything we asked her. Even after the divorce was final, she and her staff stayed by my daughter's side making sure she had all she needed even to the point of helping her move her things out. Sarah and her staff are definitely devoted to their clients' needs and interests. Thank you very much Sarah and staff.

Kristen is, in a word, sensational.
But, of course, I will expand. My divorce was complicated. I came out of an incredibly high-conflict marriage and knew almost immediately that the divorce would be the same. It was. It included false allegations against me, as well as a number of other incidents that rattled me.
Through it all, Kristen was a steadying constant. In the beginning, when I was the most emotionally wounded and the least capable of rational thought, Kristen took the time to help guide me through the healing as well as the legal process. That is to say, she went well beyond the concepts I would have expected of a lawyer. For her, our professional relationship wasn't just about getting me through a complicated legal process; it was also about getting me through an even more complicated personal journey.
Of course, she was equally great in legal matters. She's an expert who knows her business and who draws upon years of experience to tirelessly advocate for her clients. In my first conversation with her, Kristen predicted what would happen. Every prediction ended up correct, no matter the roadblocks we faced in getting there.
Except for two things, both self evident positives. She told me what the financial settlement would like but in the end I walked away with an even more favorable outcome than she guessed I would. She also predicted the divorce could take between eighteen and twenty-four months. It took ten. In both cases, I am convinced the positive outcome owe directly to Kristen's efforts.
My favorite part about Kristen's counsel, by the way, was that she never told me what I wanted to hear. She told me what was necessary, what was true, what was legally right. And she did it with empathy, concern, professionalism, and sincerity.
Kristen Bullock is absolutely wonderful.

There are no words to describe how amazing Kristen is as a lawyer and as a person. She truly is one of a kind. Her professional and expertise is extraordinary. I've had the pleasure of hiring her for my family court battle and it's the best decision I made. Her knowledge and experience blows me away. Everything happened exactly how she predicted it would. She was there whenever I needed her and made this difficult time in my life easier to deal with. She was there for me with whatever I needed, and I'm not exaggerating. She would get back to me right away, regardless of what time it was. As most know, divorces get ugly, but Kristen made the whole process easier to deal with and educated me through it. She handled everything for me and kept me updated. There really aren't any words to describe how easy and smooth she's made this difficult process for me. She's beyond exceptional. I'm forever indebted to her. Thank you, Kristen.

I guess I call it good luck that I was so fortunate to find Kristen! In the past I had dealt with terrible attorneys that just ripped me off. I had THE divorce the from hell, very messy with multiple properties and it lasted 4 years with a trial and then an appeal, (yes he was a narcissist!) Kristen is smart, witty, incredibly sharp, & paid amazing attention to details. She has an awesome memory and on days knew more about my case then I did. I also give the same accolades to her awesome assistant! She is human, has a heart, and was there for me through so many emotions, incredibly patient and understanding. I can't say enough about how pleased I was and refer her to everyone! I never thought I would say "I Love my Attorney",, but I truly do! Thanks Kristen and Joanna!

I got into some trouble with theft in the workplace. I had gotten a recommendation from a good friend.
So when I went to consultation with him, we was very insightful and straightforward with the laws and process. As I have never done anything like this.
We went to court and worked out with a probation and resititution.
It was nice to be charged a reasonable rate and have a lawyer you can trust with your life!!! Would definitely come to him with any legal problems in the future. Very Trustworthy!!

Mr. Potter came recommended to us from a colleague whom has our utmost respect. We are very thankful for that recommendation and that Mr.Potter was able to represent our family during this difficult time. No one enjoys being involved in legal matters. However, in life, there are occasionally situations that are beyond our control. Mr Potter went further than his job duties to assure us that he had the information and resources he needed to represent us accurately. He spent hours on the phone and corresponding via email with both my husband, and myself, to assure he had all the information needed. Mr. Potter's competence gave me peace of mind which is truly priceless. He was able to take care of business that I did not have the time, or desire- to burden myself with. I was therefore able to get on with our life and other responsibilities. I really appreciated Mr Potter's approach and temperament inside and outside of the courtroom. His attention to detail was excellent and he offered us a warm, friendly relationship as well. I would not hesitate to contact Todd again if needed in the future and I would most definitely recommend him to a friend. Thank you Todd for offering excellence as well as a victory for our family. Cheers!

Because of the professionalism dedication and hard work of Valerie Camacho I have custody of my children. Before I hired Valerie I met with quite a few attorneys and none of them gave me the confidence I needed for an uphill battle as a dad trying to get custody after a divorce case. Phone calls and emails were always returned ASAP. If you are looking for someone who actually cares about you and your case Valerie is the one.

When you meet Susan Kassel, you will immediately sense her professionalism and knowledge of the law. I retained her for two matrimonial cases over the years and both cases were settled quickly and fairly. Most importantly, I believe that she understands the emotional strain of divorce better than anyone. She always returned phone calls promptly and the legal fees were fair and affordable. I give her my recommendation !

Susan represented me in my divorce. I was worried, nervous, anxious, and downright scared. Divorce is one of the worst things that can happen in your lifetime. When it came to the first four way, I felt like no showing. Five minutes with Susan, her presence was calming, I knew she would fight for me and not needlessly make me spend money, she would also gave me the right advice and not just what I wanted to hear. All of a sudden things changed. She was prepared and has a great way of dealing with the otherside. I can’t thank her enough.

Susan is my 3rd Attorney and what they say is true, 3rd time is a charm. She is honest and advises based on reality and not just to add hours to my bill.
Her process is based on a well thought out plan knowing how the system works.
She is very compassionate about her job.

I just want to say that Lance and his staff helped me through a very difficult situation where I was facing serious felony charges.

I would highly recommend him to anyone who is facing a difficult situation.

I had an unusual and challenging case. Lance was referred by a friend and I was impressed by his insightful intelligence. He approached my case with respect, patience and compassion, welcoming my input, taking my concerns seriously and acting accordingly. I heard Attorney Youd argue effectively on my behalf; and while the final judgment was not exactly what I had initially sought, it was still better than I could have reasonably expected from our judicial system, which Lance expertly navigated with confidence. I highly recommend his services.

I recently hired Paul to represent me against my ex-wife for custody and support proceedings. He was the third person I consulted with and it did not take long to know I was in good hands. My ex has all the resources, including council in the family. Through the years I hired 2 other firms and frankly they did little to help me and clearly lost to superior representation. I needed an attorney that would fight for me, not settle, for me. Clearly, there is no substitute for experience, and few have more. Looking forward to seeing how my ex’s representation stacks up against Paul. I am excited to have him in my corner, with his team, fighting for the best interest of my children.

After interviewing attorneys for assistance in my very serious and distressing situation, I was beginning to feel helpless. I felt some firms presented their services resembling a “used car sales” and others who didn’t provide much information until they received a retainer. When I met with Amy, right of the bat she actively listened to the complicated details of my case, was frank and extremely knowledgeable about the laws involved. She immediately gained my trust and caused me to feel much more at ease. It was a “no brainer” after meeting with her. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone. She is extremely intelligent, very honest and a hard worker.

To say that Mr. DiOrio is a gentleman attorney of impeccable integrity would be the understatement of all time. I have known Bob for a lifetime and never once has he not had time for me or failed to settle my fears & apprehensions. The performance and professionalism of his staff is equally as impressive. He is a straight shooter and will not lead you to believe he can always win your case but he will never stop trying. He has handled all of my business & personal affairs diligently.

I turned to Bob DiOrio to help me through a very emotionally charged custody relocation case, and Bob represented our family interests in both a professional and personal manner. Over the past year plus timeframe, Bob's expertise and counsel enabled us to win our long awaited trial, stave off an attempted emergency stay, and finally hold off the appeal of that emergency stay. Ultimately, the appeal of the case trial submitted to the Superior Court was withdrawn by my children's father. I cannot sufficiently express my gratitude for the knowledge, patience, calming demeanor and rigor of Bob's representation. I highly recommend Bob to anyone who needs help in protecting the sanctimony of family and providing for the best interests of your children. Bob, I am indebted to you and thank you again for being a pilar of strength and reason during this very difficult experience. I appreciate your advice and approach, and respect you a great deal. Thank you on behalf of myself and our entire family.

I had an impossible case where I lost terribly every time I went to court. Eventually I would run out of money and then I would have to represent myself until I had enough money to get another lawyer. This went on for 10 years. Finally I met someone who was friends with one of the most powerful lawyers in Philadelphia. Through him, I was referred to Robert DiOrio. When I went into Mr. DiOrio's office, I could not see my children at all. I was only allowed to speak to them on a speaker phone with my ex-husband listening. This went on for about a year. He had gotten an Emergency Custody Petition that was granted without a hearing. He had used this tactic a total of four times and the order of his choice was signed every time without a hearing. I had been a full time mother with small children. I never guessed that I would lose my children when attempted to escape my abusive marriage. Later I found out the 94 percent of women who leave their abusive husbands lose custody and most of them are given supervised visitation. When Robert DiOrio heard about my case and saw the court order, he was outraged. He took my case to court and I got custody of my children. I went from nothing to everything. Lawyers in the past told me the best I could ever get was joint because you can't go from nothing to everything. Robert DiOrio did and he won. Since that time, we were in court again and Robert Diorio won an even greater victory. I respect him and am so grateful for the time I now have with my children. I never want another lawyer.

Although we are still in the process and the matter of my divorce is not finalized, I cannot say enough about the practice of Berman Voss as well as my personal attorney, Priscilla Natale. The communication and attention to detail to keep everyone up to date is above and beyond. The practice is transparent with fees and very itemized, allowing for planning and preparation with regards to payments. Should you need an attorney or a practice that truly cares about their clients and does nothing short of properly representing the client's best interest, this is it!

I followed Priscilla to this law firm because she proved she cared about her clients . She listened to my reasons for divorce, why I wished to have absolutely no contact with my ex and assured me she would take care of the process. And she did! She offered expert advice about property division, but left the final decision to me. She and her team were very responsive when I had questions. The best experience with legal professionals I've ever had.

I left her office with a plan and a better understanding of how the divorce and child support would work out. I knew without a doubt that she was the one that I needed to help me with my divorce. Throughout the entire divorce process she answered all my questions (and I had ALOT) and explained each step of the process so that I knew exactly what was going on. If I was feeling anxious about a situation that came about...a simple phone call to Jana put my mind at ease.
Right from the start I told Jana that the children were the most important to me and she has ALWAYS kept their best interests a priority.
I would highly recommend Jana to anyone and everyone that needs a divorce attorney.

Mrs. Lamanna is an amazing divorce attorney. I am disabled with two children. I was faced with loosing health care coverage and the primary source of income in my household. I called her office and scheduled a consult for the next day. I found her office warm, inviting, and friendly. During the consult, Jana thoroughly explained my options, and gave me a few days to consider my decision to file for a divorce. I hired her two days later.......a decision I'll never regret.
As a result of Jana's expertise in Tennessee Divorce Law and her commitment to achieving a fair settlement on my behalf, I am now able to provide a stable, loving home for my family. I recommend Jana Davis Lamanna without any reservation!

I was very apprehensive and uninformed about the divorce process. Jana took the time to explain everything to me and kept me informed every step of the way of what became a very lengthy process. I was more than satisfied and highly recommend her as a lawyer.

Gail is genuinely amazing. Calm and brilliant and strong and supportive, attentive and highly responsive. Blessed to have found her name recommended on a local FB post. Gail helped make the stressful separation process as painless and as smooth as possible. Even in the early throes of the COVID-19 pandemic, we navigated through as a team. She was fair and honest about her fees, and always recommended ways to keep the cost down. There is peace and stability in our lives now. I can't thank her enough.

Gail Kenowitz is extraordinary! I divorced in 1991 and, at that time, I was too stressed to even think about the future. I remember telling her at that time that I did not care about his pension and wanted nothing from him. I remember her standing in her office with her hand on her hip saying
“I will not allow you to do this - you may need it someday”. Move forward to 2018. When it was time for my ex husband to retire he had to give me part of his pension. Although I am in a better place today than all those years ago I decided to take it so my children could benefit from it. I am very grateful to Gail for having the vision so many years ago!

I was very impressed with Sterling Chillico, James Danko and their staff’s performance. From the beginning, they were honest with me and advised me as to what I could expect with regard to my case. If I ever had any questions or problems someone was always there to provide answers to me. I found the attorneys at Danko Law, LLC and their staff to be efficient, knowledgeable, polite and very understanding. Almost immediately someone began working on my case. They have extensive knowledge and background in family law cases, immigration, criminal defense and real estate transactions. I would highly recommend Danko Law LLC to anyone in need of honest, hardworking, knowledgeable and most importantly dedicated representation.

In one of the most stressful times in my life I found Sterling Chillico and am so grateful for her. She knows what she's talking about and was able to help me understand what was going on. She helped me to focus and to keep the case focused on the best interest of my children. She was kind and empathetic when I needed her to be. She is incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable about the issues at hand. She is a powerful litigator and negotiator. She is very strategic and follows through on what she says she will do. She was responsive to my calls and on time to appointments. She is the gladiator you want fighting on your behalf, trust me! Thank you, Sterling, Thank you.

James bell is the best. Dealing with insurance companies can be nerve-racking. When you are coping with an injury on top of all it can become overwhelming. I contacted James Bell and they took care of everything. I would not have kept my sanity without James kept me up to date and eased my anxiety. I hope I am never in this situation again but if I am, I know James is just a phone call away.

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.
