Rennie was amazing and compassionate through the whole process. She is so knowledgeable and really understands what details are needed in a visitation schedule. That knowledge saved me what I could only imagine would have been a lot of heartbreak and turmoil later on. She was with me every step of the way making sure I was standing up for what I deserved and helping me make informed decisions on when I should compromise.

Pamela is a gem! I’m so happy I found her and her services. As a new business owner it can be stressful to find the right partners. I also had a limited budget and was cautious about making an investment with someone I could trust. Pamela was so enjoyable to connect with and also very knowledgeable, organized, and generous. Don’t hesitate to hire her. You won’t be disappointed!

I had a good experience with Anton and his associate attorney Emilia. I would recommend this firm. Anton is very smart and fights for his clients. He came up with a very good strategy to defend me. The firm was financially reasonable but, most importantly, they took the time for me, took my case seriously, and treated me with kindness and respect. I have been through a terrible legal ordeal and Anton gave me peace of mind and advocated successfully for my rights throughout. I have had very disappointing experiences with other attorneys in the past. So I can truly say: When one finds a good attorney it is simply golden. Highly recommended.

Dede is genuinely an amazing person as well as attorney. She has an awesome personality and truly makes you feel comfortable. She is extremely knowledgeable and is always quick on her toes. She always knew the right things to say and is phenomenal in court. We couldn't have had a better attorney defending us. She was able to do more for us than we had hoped for when starting the journey. She has also worked with us in all ways possible. We are very thankful that she found us, and was willing to help us. More than anything we are thankful for the friend she has been to us, and not made us feel like we were just another set of clients, and more like family. You will be pleased with her work. Thank you Dede for all you have done for our family. You are a blessing!

Nick Gomes is amazing. He listened carefully to the details of our case against a solar company that defrauded my husband, tricking him into signing a document that he understood was authorizing a bid but in fact obligated us to a 25 year, $ 25 ,000 contract! We learned a out this only qhen the company dumped the panels in our yard.Nick quickly created a letter demanding damages for emotional distress, prompting the solar company to call is to find out "how to make this go away." We settle the matter quickly.
MANY THANKS , NICK!

Kathryn helped administer my mom's estate with the utmost professionalism, patience, and warmth. After my mom died last year, I had no idea what to do about her estate, of which I was a trustee. I went to the large law firm which originally drew up her trust, only to find that they were going to charge me a criminal amount for a processing this relatively straightforward trust. After starting work with them, I realized I had to switch, which was painful because I didn't want this to be more complicated than it needed to be. Kathryn was recommended to me by a friend, and not only did she complete the work much more efficiently for a reasonable fee, but she took the time to explain different aspects of the estate which confused me, and recommended certain decisions, whereas the big law firm and the banks I was dealing with did no such thing. None of them could answer questions like "What do people normally do with an inherited IRA?" whereas Kathryn could. Highly recommended!

I found Kim after two years of going through court battles, family/civil and criminal, as he was abusive. I had spent two years trying to do everything myself due to finances. I am so grateful for Kim working with me on a limited scope that worked for my budget. She was so caring and empathetic and didn’t make me feel like I was just another paycheck. She went out of her way to help me get through the end of this case so that I could move on and I truly think without her I’d have months left of hearings and legal abuse to look forward to.

Kimberly Harris represented me for a civil case and took the bull by the horns. She knew many ways of approaching the case to get a judgement in my favor and explained them to me clearly.

I have nothing but good comments to report on my experience working with Matt Fleischer.
My sister and I were the executors of our mother's trust after she passed away. Her mineral rights assets had not been entered into the trust, so we hired Matt to probate them over to a new trust for us. We did not live in Oklahoma but Matt took care of everything and was very easy to work with. He let us know up front what the total cost would be and each step of the process, including court dates, documents we would need to provide and/or get notarized, etc. Everything was handled via phone and email, with certain documents eventually being mailed. Fees were right in line compared to other firms in OK. Finally, I don't think I ever called Matt where he himself didn't answer the phone - that is what I call responsive and helpful.
I would recommend Matt's firm to anyone needing legal help in Oklahoma!

A Super Star of Attorneys!!
I truly recommend Ms. Raysor-Taylor. My divorce proceedings, before obtaining her, was a stressful and full of anxiety. As soon as she entered the room, the stress disappeared. With over 30 years of experience and her vast legal background, from the start to finish, she was outstanding. She remained engaged and responsive to all my questions and needs. She demonstrated a high level of knowledge of law, one could say even more so than the judge, in my case. She examines the case from all angles in an effort to determine the most suitable approach and is extremely honest and forth coming about the realty of your case. She was always available to talk things through. I am truly grateful and I greatly appreciate her services.

Exceptional Legal Representation and Service
I recently had the opportunity to be represented by Travis T. Pregent, Esq. of Pregent Law in an employment case, and my experience was outstanding. From the onset, Travis demonstrated an exceptional level of involvement and commitment to my case. His ability to explain complex legal processes in a clear and understandable manner was incredibly reassuring.
One of the most impressive aspects of Travis's service was his flexibility and transparency throughout the case. He was always available to address my concerns and provided timely updates, ensuring that I was fully informed at every stage. His strategic foresight was remarkable; he accurately anticipated the opposing party's moves, which played a crucial role in the outcome of the case.
Moreover, Travis's honesty and straightforwardness in discussing what was possible and what wasn't helped set realistic expectations. His skillful negotiation and strategic approach led to a resolution much sooner than I had anticipated, and I was thoroughly satisfied with the outcome.
In my role as an employee involved in a legal dispute, having an attorney like Travis, who combines expertise with genuine care for his clients, made a significant difference. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for me were truly commendable.
I highly recommend Travis T. Pregent and Pregent Law to anyone seeking legal representation that is not just effective but also compassionate and client-focused.

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.

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.

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. -

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. -

While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -

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.
