I will always be very grateful to have had the professional services of Irama Valdes Office. I would like to particularly highlight the name of Marisol Vallejo who represented me in a complex real state legal matter. Marisol not only helped me to reach the right agreement, but she also with infinite kindness, a very high professionalism and knowledgeable levels transformed what it was already a difficult situation into an experience with a successful ending. She listened carefully to details, was extremely responsive to questions and addressed the challenges very effectively. I really appreciate her professionalism and human sense, during difficult times for me. Words are not enough to express the immense gratitude forever.

I had a issue with the sale of my cousin home though Wayne County Probate Court. I triedto do myself with probate court but I got denied. I consulted with a trusted friend who gave me Attorney Jackson info. I contacted attorney jackson and we met several times and his sincerety and trust won me over. The end result was that Attorney Jackson got the approval of real estate sale with the court and I received stress relief.

Mr. Jackson helped me by mediating a problem that I had involving my job and the Union that I am a member of with (MERC) Michigan Employment Relations Commission. He made one promise; and that was to fight hard for me. He didn't tell me the things I wanted to hear as many people do when they are fighting for a cause, but instead advised me according to the law. He was very professional; he explained the process, asked questions and checked to see if I understood. He listened to my concerns and advised me so that I could make informed decisions. He made himself available and/or returned my calls in a timely manner for whenever I had questions or concerns and as his website claims, his fees are reasonable. Thank you Mr. Jackson! I am very satisfied with the results.

I followed Mr. Jacksons advice and had an outcome better than I expected. I highly recommend Mr. Jackson to anyone seeking assistance in a field of his expertise!

Navigating a divorce is an emotionally charged and challenging process, but having Leslie Puzo and her team by my side made all the difference. Her expertise, professionalism, and compassionate approach truly stood out. Every step of the way, I felt informed, supported, and confident that my best interests were being prioritized. They turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into one where I felt empowered and understood. I can't thank Leslie and the Puzo Law team enough for the exceptional service and peace of mind they provided during this pivotal chapter in my life.

Leslie and her team were so amazing with my divorce that I sought out her legal expertise a second time to handle the processing of time sensitive legal paperwork. I can't find enough good things to say about my experience with Leslie. Her and her team go above and beyond for their clients and despite one being in a vulnerable position with fumes running high they remain calm, understanding, and helpful. They are communicative, efficient, resourceful, and friendly. I felt so cared for and special. I know they have a million other cases that are probably way more important than mine, but they made me feel like they cared about solving my issue....no matter how many times I called ...they were genuinely empathetic! Trust Leslie and her team and you will be extremely satisfied with the entire process and outcome.... they are the best!

Even though he was doing his reserve time, he called me on his free time to get the case going. He has a wonderful paralegal "Lena" who also was very helpful and kind.

I have nothing but great things to say about Sandra. Because of her experience, knowledge, and desire to fight for what is right, but above all to fight for what is best for my child. I now can spend quality time with my son without having to worry about his mom not letting me see him just because I am one minute late to pick up time. Before she came to my rescue, I would see my son once maybe twice a week for a very short period of time. Now, he has “sleepovers” with me, I can take him to and from school, as well as, his medical appointments and those are some of the best moments a parent can have. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of any Family law issues. Simply the best!

Anyone facing divorce knows the financial and emotional upheaval that is about to descend on your life. Finding a competent lawyer to guide you through the divorce process can be a daunting task and I found such a lawyer: Sarah Brandon from North Country Law Office. Sarah's calm, empathetic demeanor was a great support during the entire divorce proceedings. She always consistently steered me in the right direction to ensure the best possible outcome. Sarah’s advice on two separate occasions prevented me from taking actions that would have further complicated resolving an already emotionally-charged divorce. Sarah is a firm, tough negotiator and with her many years of practicing family law, she has acquired exceptional expertise in divorce law. Her superior understanding of the law resulted in a settlement that will enable me to live a financially-secure post-divorce life. What was impressive is she held down legal fees by avoiding expensive litigation. Regarding Sarah's fees, her retainer and other expenses were reasonable. She called and emailed only when it was necessary. Sarah didn't play the all-to-common legal game of driving up legal expenses with unnecessary legal maneuvers. She is honest, ethical and I would highly recommend Sarah to handle any divorce, from the simple to the complex. Sarah is the owner of the law firm. Her office staff of Liz, Tasha and Katie understand how difficult divorce can be and they more than once put me at ease with their lighthearted sense of humor and kindness. The professional and personable services this firm provided made the rocky road of divorce easier. Finally, I had the utmost confidence in being represented by a law firm owned and staffed entirely with women. My confidence was not misplaced as my ability to live a financially-secure life is due entirely to this firm. Thank you, Sarah, Katie, Tasha and Liz for your hard work and dedication.

To say that Lisa is amazing would be an understatement. From the very beginning, she made me feel confident that I was in capable hands. She listened carefully, understood that my children were my top priority, and acted accordingly. Lisa always had a clear plan—and a well-thought-out backup—ensuring every decision was backed by facts and sound reasoning. She gave me the confidence to make informed and wise decisions, something I had been lacking for years. Her ability to restore that confidence was invaluable. Lisa was consistently prepared, keeping me informed every step of the way. Over the three years we worked together, we developed a strong partnership. We functioned like a well-oiled team, reminding each other of crucial details and moving forward in sync. She was also incredibly patient with my many questions, lack of knowledge about legal terms, and even my growing understanding of technology. Lisa never made me feel overwhelmed. She broke down complex tasks, like gathering information and evidence, into manageable pieces, always offering encouragement along the way. When things didn’t go as expected, Lisa’s ability to pivot and adapt was remarkable. She tackled challenges head-on and always found a new direction. In court, she carried herself with the utmost dignity, and I felt assured that I had the best person fighting for me. She organized evidence meticulously, presenting it in a clear, powerful way. Despite the long and high-conflict nature of my case, Lisa remained professional, calm, and composed. I never had to worry or second-guess—her dedication and expertise were unwavering, and I trusted her completely.

We were able to finalize everything on court day with fair deal with the help of his excellent mediation skills since other party also had very strong attorney. His professionalism was beyond reproach and not only got me across the finish line but helped me from myself making dumb choices.

The best experience during a worst case scenario. My son was facing false allegations of a Title IX violation. We researched and consulted several leading legal advisors throughout the country. Several took the approach of "fear factoring" us into needing their legal services but didn't necessarily express a true regard for my son's state of mind. After initially speaking with Atty. Joseph Lento, and immediately being treated with the utmost sincerity and having been acknowledged for our feelings with the matter, we felt we would be moving forward with obtaining their counsel. They even granted a follow-up call waiving an additional consultation fee to allow us the opportunity to address a few points with no pressure to choose their firm. At that point, we knew they had more interest in our comfort level and goals than simply collecting a payment. Once on board, we were assigned to Kyle Adams, who had the knowledge and expertise in this area of law and whom was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made himself available in the evenings, weekends and on his direct cell via telephone, Zoom, as well as in-person simply at our request to ensure my son was comfortable, even though he was over 2 hours away. Kyle's client-centered approach made a significant difference in his case, from a thorough investigation, supportive evidence, and his skillful negotiation helping him achieve a quick resolution to obtain our desired outcome of a withdrawal of the claim. Thanks to the Lento Law Firm and their Atty. Kyle Adams expertise, my son avoided severe academic penalties, if this wasn't handled with the care and diligent efforts that were needed to navigate this endeavor. In the end, my son had regained his reputation and respect of his friends and peers. I cannot express my most heartfelt, and sincere gratefulness for all that was done. We will only reach out to Lento Law Firm and his team if we are ever in need of legal services going forward. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

My husband and I were in a horrific accident that resulted in a near head on collision that completely totaled our truck and travel trailer. The insurance company for the driver, Elephant insurance, refused to pay some of the medical bills to include plastic surgery for the scars on my face, and repeatedly ignored my calls and emails over a two year period in an attempt to run through to the statute of limitations. I couldn’t find an attorney that would take my case. All with excuses, but with only one week to the deadline, I searched again and had the great fortune of finding and retaining Ms Hazel. All I can say is, wow. She jumped right in and investigated every possible avenue to get this situation resolved, to include my own insurance company that withheld funds. This is a gal that knows what she is doing and not afraid to go after those responsible. I’m in awe, and will absolutely recommend her to my family and friends.

In the past I had the misfortune dealing with attorneys who left me feeling unheard, disappointed, dissatisfied & misrepresented. I decided to try my luck ONE MORE TIME, that's when I found Attorney Ernesto Romero. His calm demeanor will immediately give you a sense of reassurance. Long story short, Attorney Romero who I have the privilege now to refer to him as Ernesto treated me with respect & compassion, always made sure all my questions were answered & always kept me very well informed about my case. Be advised not If but when you retain Attorney Romero you will experience a Humanitarian, Professionalism, Knowledge, Pride and Satisfaction.

I went to attorney Lubonja after my first attorney did not do anything for me and my children . Attorney Lubonja ended my nightmare with in 4 months. I got custody, and a reasonable asset division . Attorney Lubonja kept me in the loop at all time. Called me when she was sick, emailed me at 4 am , showed up for court not feeling well to represent me. She explained what options I have, and what to expect . Explained the pros and cons and the cost. She was the most transparent attorney I ever worked with. I can't thank her enough for her professional, honesty, and commitment. When I went to her my case was 9 months old and a mess due to my prior counsel and the GAL.

My parents and I used Zev Brooks to create our trusts years ago, and he made that process very simple and painless to put in place at the time. My parents have both passed away over the last 2 years, and everything that had been prepared was super helpful to take care of now that it was needed. My dad depended on my mother for care, so when she passed away first, we needed to activate the POA docs that had been prepared. Zev was very supportive then in helping me get the various banks and doctors to abide by my parents' wishes to have me manage their affairs and oversee my father's ongoing needs. When he passed away a few months ago, he again helped me with transferring the deeds to their house into my name (per their wishes). All services provided were affordable and his patience and ongoing support is very appreciated!

He was extremely thorough, took the time to explain each step of the estate planning process to us in detail and was very efficient in meeting with us and turning around documents and filings. He answered all of our questions patiently and we were very impressed by his level of expertise and experience with all aspects of estate planning. He has given us a level of confidence with this area of our lives that we are so thankful for. We have already recommended his services to our close family/friends!

The best service! I had put off our living trust for too long thinking that the process would be painful. I found Zev Brooks had great reviews so I called him. He is a great communicator and very responsive. He made the whole process very easy for us and explained everything clearly. I would highly recommend Zev Brooks Law Office.

With my in-laws passing away within a month of each other, there was no way the family was going to save their house. Michelle stepped in and helped us through a strained foreclosure process (Covid-19 for two years, squatters, etc.). She did a terrific job not only helping us but keeping us informed. It was a real pleasure working with her. I would highly recommend her.

It took me about 2 months to find Attorney Hanyard. I tried reaching out to many referred lawyers; to find out, they all stopped working in Family Law. I tried to make one more call. Another lawyer's assistant told me to check out the lady whose ad was currently running on the radio. I made the call to Hanyard’s Law Office. Ms Hanyard answered the phone. She was the only lawyer who spoke to me first. She didn’t request that I speak to her assistant first and give them all of my information. I knew Hanyard Law Office was where I was supposed to be. She was kind, professional, willing to help and point me in the right direction, a joy to work with. She took care of my case in an acceptable amount of time. Coming out of pandemic era, the courts were slow to put court cases on the calendar. She was patient and eager to stayed on top of the situation. I’m so happy I chose her. She made me feel like she cared about me and my family. You will not go wrong in choosing Hanyard Law Office and her team to help you with any of your needs.

Attorney Hanyard represented me in my divorce case, she was professional, knowledgeable, and court savvy. I was nervous at first because I had never had to endure a trial, but when I saw her navigate through the courtroom I was confident I was in good hands. I would recommend Attorney Hanyard and her team for your legal matters. Pamela Jackson

My realtor advised me to contact Mr. Morey Law Firm in order to get a probate. My aunt and uncle had two Levy County lots since the 60’s. They both passed and I inherited the lots. In order to having them under my name for future needs I needed a probate. As soon as I contacted Mr. Morey Law Firm they guided me through every single step to get the needed probate. The Last Will and Testament was in Spanish as we live in Puerto Rico. They took care of the translation as well. Here in Puerto Rico the Last Will and Testaments have to be processed through a certified Attorney, not just a Notary and be registered in Court immediately the document is signed and witnessed. Therefore the process is quite complicated in order to get all the required original and certified documents directly from Court. Mr. Morey Law Firm through his wonderful Assistant, Junrey Quico took care of everything for me until completion of the process. And finally I was able to get the desired probate. Now both Levy County lots show my name in the Titles. Therefore, I am extremely grateful of the kindness , expertise and service rendered by Mr. Morey Law Firm. Definitely I can recommend them.

We were served notice by our HOA in mid 2023, and needed to find representation quickly as our previous representation had retired and we did not know how to proceed on our own. From our initial reach-out to their office, they were able to lay out a fixed fee (and clearly defined what was included and what could become extra fees), get the case on the rails within 48 hours, and then carefully shepherded it through delays on the HOA's end over several months until it was resolved in early 2024. They kept me informed as status changed and when things were blocked on the other side, and were always ready to answer my questions as I needed. Wonderful experience, would hire again!

I hired Kim to seek justice from professional thieves. Kim firm is the best and most honest law firm in the industry. Kim is the smartest and most thorough attorney that I have ever met. I am finally finding justice for what they have taken from me. The defendant tried every trick to evade taking responsibility and Kim stopped them every time. She plays judicial chess making defendants into checker players. Thank you Kim for giving me back my life!!!

I love Amanda! She represented me in a custody case in 2018 and again in a modification of parenting time and petition to enforce that was concluded this year in 2023. Both times, the cases were drawn out over a year. They were high conflict, complicated, and emotionally draining. Amanda made me feel comfortable in my case even though I don’t have a great history. She has always gone above and beyond for me. Amanda is a very talented lawyer and she definitely knows her stuff. She is quick-witted, intelligent, and has a great sense of humor. She is a pleasure to watch in court as she artfully performs her job. I would not have been able to get through any of these cases without her. Her staff is also exceptional, pleasant to work with, and communicated with me through every step.

Amanda Taylor is such a rooted calm spirit. Throughout the entirety of my case she has reminded me to stay grounded and did her best to let me know I was in great hands. Amanda has done everything that she said she would do for my case and defended my daughter; as if she were her own. Things got scary and sticky for a little while but after our first physical court appearance it was very apparent that Amanda knows what she is doing and has the best ways to get her point across in any court of law. She has been a little hard to get a hold of from time to time. She is a very busy woman, but if that is my only complaint I think we did more than alright. Thank you Amanda for helping me fight for my daughter, in ways that I cannot.

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.
