I enjoyed work with Cryus Hosseini. Things took longer than expected. But We had a relationship where I felt like I was talking to someone I had known for a long time. He was very professional and made sure I understood the process. I would recommend him to a friend or family member

Great communication, great attention to details, and very professional. Everything that I needed was completed. Cyrus didn't make me feel like a number he was very caring and made me feel like I was his most important client. After the case he called and checked on me and that showed excellent support and understanding of my situation. Cyrus listened to all my concerns, asked great questions, gave specifics to my case and he was completely honest about my situation. He listened to my needs and came up with very effective strategies. Cyrus made sure my kids received a good payout for child support and offered to assist me if my ex-husband refuses to pay. I would hire and keep in contact with Cyrus. Excellent lawyer he works in silence but presents loudly and effectively.

Hired this lawyer for a child support case. He charged me $5000 cash. Took the money and couldn’t go to court because there was a conflict of interests with the mother of the child that I was going to court for. Initially I told him that my baby’s mom hired his office before and he proceeded to tell me that there will be no problem. Never gave me my money back or went to court for me. Just took my money and I would love my $5000 returned. My name is Gordon Brown

Attorney Morse was fantastic! He assisted me in my child custody/ child support case. He is very knowledgeable and tells you straight answers. Whenever I had any questions, he was very responsive and helped me to understand the law. Attorney Morse fought for me and my son every step of the way and we did not have to go to trial!!

Going through a divorce with children involved is so hard. Mr. Morse and his paralegal Kristy, couldn’t have been more supportive and professional. They both walked me through every step of the way while reassuring me it would all be okay. Mr. Morse is a very no nonsense lawyer which is EXACTLY who you’d want representing you. He’s very professional, very respectful and extremely efficient in responding to any questions you may have at any time. Mr. Morse has been representing clients for a long time. It’s very apparent how dedicated he is to his clients and how important it is to deliver the very best outcome for your family. I couldn’t have asked for better representation than what I received. I’m thankful and very grateful to Mr. Morse and his paralegal Kristy. They made a very sad situation much easier to navigate!

My experience with Cindy Vova and her legal team has been a life-changing one and choosing Cindy to represent me in one of the hardest moments of my life, was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Not only is Cindy, Vicki, and Jaclyn a pleasure to work with, but they all genuinely care about you as a client and have gone above and beyond the call of duty. Most lawyers are very transactional, not with Cindy. If you’re looking for someone with the expertise, the technical chops, someone who operates with high integrity, the embodiment of professionalism, and overall someone you can trust to champion for you in one of the darkest times of your life, you better call Cindy Vova and don’t bother looking elsewhere. Not only will Cindy get the job done, but she’ll get the job done right, and done right properly, no shortcuts, and she will educate and empower you along the way. She is not shy with offering real perspectives and is very transparent with expectation setting. I have never met anyone who works as hard, as diligently, as strategic as Cindy, and she is the best person to have on your side when things are not so great. She will guide you through the intricate workings of the legal system and her brain is one of the most powerful ones I’ve ever encountered. Cindy’s prowess and command of the legal ecosystem is incredible. She anticipates moves that are 10 steps ahead and the saying “Playing chess not checkers” is personified with Cindy. My high praise, and immense gratitude falls short because what Cindy has done for me and my family have been monumental. She’s humble and won’t toot her horn as much, but my goodness, if you ever find yourself in a sticky situation, call Cindy right away. And I’d also like to extend my warmest wishes and gratitude to both Vicki and Jaclyn. Since the first day I called to inquire, Vicki has set the right tone and trajectory of the kind of legal representation I was looking for. Vicki asked all the right questions, made me feel at ease, and I didn’t know how someone could establish trust so quickly especially prior to meeting in person, but Vicki earned my trust that day. I have enjoyed working with Jaclyn and her strategic mentality. She helped me understand the nuances of legal procedure, helped me comprehend the intricate details and steps of what’s to happen next. She made me comfortable with the things I was not familiar with, educated me, and for that, I am eternally grateful. All three - Cindy, Vicki, and Jaclyn have always returned phone calls promptly, responded to my emails even late at night, through the weekends, and for something so emotionally taxing that I was going through, they always found the time to share valuable insights, make astute recommendations, and always had my back (and sides and front). They are simply the best in the business.

From the first conversation with Ashley, I could tell she was very knowledgeable and experienced in Family Law. She was very helpful in setting realistic expectations while guiding me in a respectful and honest manner through a very stressful time in my life. Ashley always made herself available to talk through my questions and concerns that came up throughout the case. More importantly, she always answered them open and honestly which I always liked because it prepared me for what was going on. Speaking of Ashley, I would be remiss not to mention her firm. Everyone from Kevin to Baylee to Brooke, their entire firm handled my case with first class service while still being very affordable. I always found and respected that Ashley would delegate tasks to her firm’s associates and paralegals where possible which was very helpful in saving costs as a client. I would highly recommend Ashley Wine and Wine Family Law to anyone that is needing help and guidance in the Family Law arena. Thank you!

I was discouraged to go back to Court to fight for my kids' custody because they were in their late teens. Other attorneys told me that the judge would most likely let them live with their "preferred parent", due to their ages. Ashley understood that this case was not a simple custody dispute; it was parental alienation and it was hurting my kids. I worked with Ashley and her team (Baylee and Kevin) for about 1 year and they were great - knowledgeable, responsive and professional. We went to trial and won everything we asked for. I have sole legal abd physical custody and will be able to help my kids heal and repair our relationship.

I was involved in a situation where a family member was harassing and stalking me incessantly, and the police would not act on removing her from our property unless I had a TPO. Ashley's office was able to jump on the case quickly and was able to secure an emergency TPO and 12-month TPO following multiple incidents. Unfortunately, the harassment and stalking did not stop there, but the situation became complicated when the perpetrator's physical location was unknown. Despite that, Ashley and her team supported us as we approached out renewal of the TPO extension, and Ashley was able to help us secure a permanent protection order to protect myself and my family from further harassment and stalking.

Divorce is a very difficult time in ones life. Janice was referred to me and I'm so happy I contacted her.

Janice was always there to calm me down and tell me she'll "take care of it" she didn't take his nonsense and called his lawyer out, reminding them of the law. It was a long hard process, but it's finally over and I've never been happier. I would highly recommend Janice. She is personable and she knows what she's doing!

I was referred to Lexie Larkin through my best friend in Tampa and used Lexie for a prenup and Will, power of attorney, health care directive, and living will for estate planning. I was super impressed with her professionalism and knowledge on both family law and estate planning. Her pricing and fees were reasonable, super straight forward and well worth it. Her experience in both family law and estate planning was great because she could let me know how the prenup could impact estate planning issues and I don’t think other lawyers could have done that. I really enjoyed working with her and how everything was easily done remotely by zoom, email, and phone. I was across the state and she was able to set up everything remotely. Highly recommend!

Alexa did an excellent job redoing our wills and adding a trust to it for less than we paid for the original one. she pointed out things that made our protection for our kids stronger when we pass away. We were in and out in about a month and probably could have even done quicker if we got the documents to her faster. it was all done on zoom or phone so we did not have to go to her office unless we wanted to do that. it saved time and money. we only had to pay one fee for her services and then for the notary that came to our house to do the signing. That was easy too. I really recommend her if you want to make sure your will is done right. she is worth the money you spend.

A 30-month legal nightmare of proving my innocence and residency came to an end on May 7, 2024. It was Attorney Donna Jean Kuchler and her team who believed and fought for me during this ordeal. I remember early on when Donna said, "We intend to mount a vigorous defense." I believed in her and she believed in me. There is no one I would trust more than Donna Kuchler and her law firm. They prepared for my court trial filing numerous motions to dismiss, including those that were sent to the Court of Appeals. Together we fought the fight, ran the race, and I was found not guilty on all 7 felony charges and was fully acquitted by the judge in a court trial. I have my life back. My life is different but I am free. God bless and thank you, Attorney Donna Kuchler and Kate!

Spencer and Liz (paralegal) are a fantastic team. I'm understating their importance to each other. I'm a firm believer they compliment each other very well. Spencer was hired as a guardian ad litem. The recommendation came from the attorney of my son's mother to use him to represent my son. So I owe him a huge thank you. For those who may be unfamiliar, the purpose of a guardian ad litem is to represent the minor's best interest. Spencer was detailed and thorough. He met with my son on multiple occasions. He spoke with additional professionals who offered perspective. A recommendation wasn't rendered until Spencer felt he had as many answers to the questions as he needed before making a decision. I'm grateful and appreciative he choose to be thorough and exhaustive in the process. Fast forward to the final result, my son is now in my custody. If you're looking for an attorney who doesn't cut corners or take short cuts, who genuinely attempts to make the most informed decision using as much information as can be gleaned, he is the attorney you'll wish you had.

Spencer came to us early in his career. Not only did he impress us with his straight-forward honesty as to the outcomes, he has a kind demeanor and you know he really cares about the law and what is right. I do know him outside the courtroom, but that is the reason I had him by our side when our family needed a lawyer. Unfortunately this is one service that excellence is something you never have to use again. This is our case. Many years later and we are back in court with Mr. Ricks defending our side. No matter the outcome, we know he did his job more than any lawyer we've ever had; and we've had a few.

Spencer is a professional, knowledgeable attorney who is also a pleasure to work with. He has an in-depth understanding of Utah family law and has been a savvy, yet honest advocate for me throughout my divorce. Spencer has integrity. I always know he has the best interest of my son at heart, rather than simply going for "big wins" for the sake of prestige. Spencer has been a transparent and timely communicator. He keeps me well-informed when we have to make difficult decisions and I am never left in the dark or worried about the progress of my case. His paralegal Liz is also excellent in this area. Every step is a team effort and they work well and quickly in tandem. Spencer also has a great sense of humor! He appropriately keeps things light in otherwise heavy conversations. I would highly recommend Sencer Ricks as an advocate for anyone seeking representation in family law in the state of Utah.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! Faith in humanity restored thanks to these guys. I walked away with a case completely dismissed... YES, COMPLETELY DISMISSED. Which was an absolute miracle, but nothing compared to the way I was treated. I sincerely appreciate being treated like a person & not a case number, with respect & without judgment. Thank you Kristol & Robin C Wolfe 😊

If you don’t hire Robin, well you already lost your case. She and her team are the exception when it comes to dealing with extremely complex cases. The previous attorney dropped the ball and Robin came in and cleaned up a mess we thought was un repairable. Robin, Kristal, and Jackie are in 100% and have compassion for their clients. Best part is they have a sense of humor!! This team is AMAZING.

I was in a nasty custody case against my sister. Natalie came along side me and picked up where I left off. She was absolutely amazing! She invested her time in listening to all the messy details and truly felt like a friend! My Niece is with me where she belongs thanks to Natalie. I could not have done this without her help. The amount of peace she brought to my life immeasurable. If you need a custody lawyer she is tough, and so intelligent. Thank you Natalie for your role in getting my niece exactly where she should be.

Parisa's work exemplifies that of a superb attorney. Her skills and demeanor demonstrate the highest level of professionalism. Parisa has been able to explain matters in a way that helped me navigate rough legal waters. She was also able to negotiate a deal that was as favorable to me as possible, given the circumstances. I highly recommend Parisa should you need legal representation in her specialty areas.

To start, I’d love to thank Parisa personally again for her patience, tenacity, diligence and brutal honesty throughout my legal battle. I reached out to Lewis and Dickstein Because of their reputation and our glorious state of Michigan. Parisa Sadrnia was the one who answered the phone after hours and consulted me for long after the initial consultation was or had ended. I went in and her whole concern and attitude was to defend her client while showing a tremendous amount of patients because of being falsely accused of domestic violence. There is an old term that we all know “ Pay for what you get” Parisa is worth every penny and then some, and deserves even more than What the firm fees are. I will and I am recommending to anyone in need of an absolute beast in a criminal defense. PARISA IS THE ONE! She is Young, But I will say with her, she spares no doubt To her client that she is 100% there for them. Parisa will not leave one stone unturned that she cannot figure out or gain to help and defending or in your defense, as well as knows the exact approach. I had a ton of evidence that we could’ve used. The things that we focused on in court because of Parisa‘s knowledge and experience, We did not have to explore half of that. She obtained things that the government “ Prosecution” Was not aware that we had nor did we have to submit as evidence that we used in trial, which was incredibly damaging to the so-called victim. I have never heard nor experienced a lawyer like Parisa at my trial with her ability to impeach, discredit, And embarrass the so-called victim on the stand that a panel of six women and one man all came back unanimously not guilty. Mind you, I have had a criminal history that was in the past levels that were not violent that she navigated around the governments ability to use at trial as well as even setting forth the motion To just use the term victim at the trial, so it could not be said. I cannot express my gratitude enough to Parisa and her team that also stands behind her because when you hire her, you hire all of them as well. Every single one of them are a 10 out of 10 and probably the best law in the state of Michigan above and when I say above Jeffrey Figer, which is Hard to beat. They are 100% again worth every dollar I am not an easy person to sometimes deal with! But Parisa 100% talk to me at any point of the day or night, calmed me, reassured me, and also was straightforward again which I appreciate more than anything about the potential seriousness of the allegations that were against me. She never lied to me. She never promised me anything nor did she ever tell me with everything that I had that I was OK or good and she could get it done. She kept it 100% with me, She is one of the most straightforward, honest people that I’ve honestly genuinely ever met. I am a finance manager at a local car dealership, I can tend to feed and read through a lot of the BS. She is very genuine. She is the best at her job and she is a superstar lawyer that if I ever need again has my 100% loyalty. Thank you, Lewis and Dickstein Most of all, THANK YOU TOO, PARISA SADRNIA FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID FOR THE TIME YOU TOOK AWAY WITH YOUR PERSONAL LIFE FOR ME AS WELL AS NEVER LOSING FAITH OR DOUBTING ME AND DEFENDING ME. You are truly a blessing and someone that I will always consult or recommend to anyone. She deserves a much higher rating then 10/10 but 10 stars PARISA

Ashley is an excellent lawyer. I would recommend her and her staff to anyone needing a divorce or family lawyer. She helped me throughout my long and drawn out very contentious divorce. We were in mediation with another very sub par lawyer, and she helped me to de-escalate many times and stay the course, as well as help me ensure that I understood repercussions of certain decisions being made in our settlement agreement. I don't know what I would have done throughout this process without her guidance and knowledge of NJ family law. Her staff is very organized and prompt. Can not recommend her enough.

She had myself and my child in her corner the whole time and didn't back down in the most professional way. HIGHLY recommended! She gets it done!

Lauren was outstanding throughout the whole process. She was always available as needed, upfront and honest, and very knowledgeable. Most lawyers don’t really have your best interest in mind. It’s all about their pocket book. Lauren never gave that impression and comes from a place of sincerity. She always had my best interest in mind. If you happen to be unfortunate enough to need a lawyer, I sincerely recommend Lauren. I can’t imagine how anyone could be disappointed.

Christopher Abernathy did an amazing job at handling my complex divorce case. My ex wife was perjuring herself and literally lying to the Judge and without Christopher being well prepared and ready to show the court that she was in fact lying, it could have been a different outcome. Christopher's staff was awesome as well and the whole team exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Christopher Abernathy. Thank you Christopher!!

Our case was not a straight forward one and was one that took a lot of finesse. Compared to previous lawyers we noticed the following: 1) We did not have charges "run up" for no reason as we experienced at other firms. 2) Mr. Abernathy was very accessible and his staff was on top of everything. We did not feel like we had to constantly follow up to make sure things were done on time. 3) Lastly, Mr. Abernathy is very well respected and 1000% knows the law and the best approach to cases. We literally walked in to trial not particularly optimistic given our past history with my ex, who often got their way from smear campaigns and lying, and the challenge of getting the court to "disrupt status quo". We walked out with basically what we wanted (and most importantly what was best for the children). Best decision ever to switch to Mr. Abernathy's firm.

Christopher Abernathy is a gift from God. I had the most complex, difficult case that made me want to loose hope. Contacting Chris was the best thing I could have ever done. He has gone the extra mile to ensure me and my family received the best results from the court system. It is heart wrenching enough to have to need a lawyer, however, if you find your self in a situation like I did, having Chris and his team on your team ensures you are in the best hands. He knows the law and knows how to ensure you, your case, and your family members are in the best position possible throughout the entire process. When I lost hope, Chris assured me that we would be just fine. This week, he lead our case to the most amazing settlement. The other people thought they wanted to go to trail however with the skills of Chris and his team, we were able to reach a settlement. Tears of joy, relief, amazement, and just gratitude filled my body. This was again a multiple year case I tried to fight alone, however once Chris became my lawyer, the impossible became possible. Again, I hope you hear the gratitude and know that Mr. Chris Abernathy and his team will go the extra mile for you every step of the way.

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.
