So I have waited a while to write this review because even after divorce, Irene and Val continue to support me in difficult situations. When I came to their office, I spoke to many attorneys that continued to tell me to wait on things to go through mediation. I decided to listen but after multiple people told me I was out of discovery to move forward with a child custody evaluation, I decided to speak to Irene. Irene, as explained in every review, is an amazing person. She is a mother, wife, and attorney. Its because of this she was very understanding as to all aspects of my situation and helped me though the process in every step of the way. I think it's important to understand that what makes a good divorce attorney is Obviously their education and experience, but to have an attorney that listens to your specific situation and know every way to navigate your divorce and explain the best approach for you is what is truly amazing. You can go out and find some cut throat good attorney but that's not going to help you in this process. I am thankful I found her when I did because I believe I wouldn't have been heard and my life would look a whole lot differant right now. In the middle of my case, Val stepped in and she's been helping me ever since. Val is another attorney that was on my case and again, she is amazing. Always on top of things, read all my emails on a daily basis, and responded to everything that needed immediate attention. Going to mediation, I walked in thinking nothing was going to get accomplished. I continued wanting to just give up everything to get it over with. Val supported me through the final settlement and stood up for me during those times. Always advising me on everything and speaking up against any ridiculous requests. Val turns the impossible into possible. Another way to say this, she turns ridiculous into reasonable. The main point I want to covey here, if you are looking around for an attorney, you are trying to be reasonable and the other person is looking to take everything they can from you, you found the right firm. They have all 5 stars and all of them are earned. Thank you all for everything you have done and continue doing.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Gibson Steigauf, LTD., and I couldn't be more impressed with their professionalism and efficiency. My case was handled with the utmost care and expertise, and the entire process went smoothly from start to finish. I worked directly with John Steigauf, who was exceptional throughout. John’s attention to detail, clear communication, and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome truly stood out. He made what could have been a stressful situation feel manageable and ensured I felt informed and supported every step of the way. I can't thank John and the team at Gibson Steigauf, LTD. enough for their outstanding service. If you're looking for a reliable and highly competent legal team, I wholeheartedly recommend them.

The secretary at the Davis Law Group, was warm and asked probing questions to get the facts needed from me. She also did the credit card payment over the phone, saving me a trip to make my payment at their law firm. A big thank you for the fine efforts of Attorney Davis, in dismissing the case. I owe him a gracious appreciation for his positive results for me at court. Thank you for your outstansing teamwork to win this case!

I often encounter Shawn in court and he always conducts himself professionally and ethically. He is extremely knowledgeable, and I feel that Shawn really does have the best interest of his clients in mind. He is not an attorney that just wants to settle cases and move on. I often consult with him about legal issues, and he is always able to produce proper legal advice. Additionally, he has a wonderful relationship with the Judges and that goes a long way in criminal defense.

Kim is one of the best divorce lawyers in the area in my opinion. My case involved a high conflict person with personality disorders who manipulated our son and the system to her advantage. After having another lawyer not present my evidence at trial, I hired her. She stands out because she became intimately involved with my case, was available for offering advice on off-hours, knows technology, was realistic, knew how to negotiate, and helped me change my perspective for better results. Kim was able to get me the best results, and now offers an effective and potentially fruitful path forward that may get my son back.

Cant say enough about Greg. He always had time for me, even when he didn't lol. On more than one occasion we spoke during a federal holiday, which at least for me, goes to show the level of commitment he has to his clients. Any questions or concerns I had I could always reach out to him, and know he'd get back to me as soon as he could. He was also quick to make sure I knew things as soon as he did, and I never once felt left in the dark. He also really made me feel like he was on my side, not like an atrorney, but more like a friend. That said, Greg was always extremely professional and never sugar coated things. As much as we both hoped for the outcome we ultimately got, he made sure I was aware of all the posibilities that existed, and educated me in a way that made me feel as in control as I could in a moment when things definitely feel out of one's control. Although I hope I never have to, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to friends or family finding themselves in need of his services. Thanks again for helping me through everything and ultimately getting me the outcome I/we wanted. You're the best!

After my dad passed away in April 2024, my mom and I filed for Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) through the VA. Despite working with a VA liaison and following up for 10 months, we received no real updates—just that the claim was still pending. Then, my mom received a notice from the VA, which she mistakenly believed was a denial of the DIC claim. Unfortunately, even the local VA liaison misinterpreted it, causing a lot of confusion. Given that my dad’s passing was clearly linked to his disability, we realized we needed legal representation and turned to James Comerford. From our first conversation, James took the time to listen, understand our situation, and guide us through the process. Initially, we thought we needed to file a rebuttal, but after investigating, he discovered the VA had actually misinformed us—the claim was still being processed. He assured us he would follow up, and shortly after, he called with the great news: the claim had been approved. Not only did he get us answers, but he also knew exactly when my mom would receive her benefits, including back pay. When I asked James what we owed him, he refused payment—he was simply happy my mom received what she deserved. Even after I insisted, he suggested we make a donation to a charity instead, which we did. His generosity, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients truly set him apart. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and compassionate attorney who will fight for you and keep you informed every step of the way, I highly recommend James Comerford. He’s not just a great lawyer—he’s a good person who truly cares -Gary Hahn

His expertise in the field is unparalleled, and his deep understanding of the legal system proved invaluable in my sudden custody case. He navigated the complexities with remarkable skill and insight. Mark's familiarity with judges and other lawyers in the area further enhanced his ability to advocate effectively on my behalf. Not only is he highly knowledgeable, but he is also incredibly approachable and easy to work with, even in high-stress situations. Additionally, his team is exceptionally supportive and ensures that you're well cared for, even when Mark is unavailable. This is the best legal representation money can buy.

I can’t say enough good things about the Law Office of Kari L. MacDonald, P.A.! Kari conquered my case with ease, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She was incredibly thorough in handling every detail, leaving no stone unturned. What truly stood out was her outstanding communication. I was never left in the dark—she kept me informed every step of the way and always provided excellent advice. Kari has a remarkable ability to explain complex legal matters in simple, understandable terms, which was invaluable to me since I didn’t have a deep understanding of the laws. Over the years, I’ve had experience with several attorneys, and I can confidently say Kari is the best by far. She is professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly dedicated to her clients. I highly recommend Kari and her team for any family law needs. Thank you, Kari—you are absolutely the best!

Divorce is never easy, especially when children are involved. I am beyond grateful that I had the skilled expertise of Abood Law Firm working on my behalf. From the very first phone call/consultation they listened to my questions/concerns and promptly addressed them with compassion and respect, putting me at ease. The entire team worked tirelessly on my case , approaching the issues that arose with determined proficiency while providing reassurance and emotional support which is often overlooked in legal matters. I felt protected and that is just one of the many reasons Abood is a phenomenal law firm you can trust.

Jeff and the Abood Law Firm are nothing but exceptional. Throughout my life and career, I have had multiple experiences with attorneys and I have never come across an attorney as trustworthy, skilled and reliable as Jeff. Jeff and his team really helped me through a tough situation and exceeded my expectations. He listened, answered questions, gave priceless advice and really was just there for me during the entire process. From divorce to traffic tickets, Jeff is more than qualified to handle any scenario you have. I would personally recommend him to family, friends or anyone that wants an attorney that you can trust and gets results. Not too many attorneys out there like him.

From start to finish the DCD Law team did an incredible job. Art initially spoke with me and advised me as to a course of action and recommendations. We discussed all aspects of what was going on and what our goals were. We joined with them and the very next day, Lisa joined the team and did an outstanding job representing our interests and advocating for us. She was able to execute and complete the follow through discussed as the ideal outcome and made us feel heard and valued. She showed true compassion for us, and passion for justice, and was an excellent representative of her firm. Overall, truly an incredible team and while I hope we don't need their services again, I would not hesitate to work with them again. Very responsive and helpful and clear. Truly wonderful. Thank you DCD Law! - LdR

We worked with Lisa and she was amazing. She helped us super last minute and from the moment she was involved, she was all over the case. My mother in law called her “a little pitbull” because she was relentless when it came to advocating for us. This firm is a God send in general but I highly recommend working with Lisa if you can.

I can't express how thrilled I am with Sharon's services! I was desperate for help with my custody case—my ex had completely alienated me from our two girls, and every lawyer I called before Sharon either charged for a useless consultation or scheduled me weeks out with no real interest in my case. Then I called Sharon. From the start, she dove right into understanding my situation, asking detailed questions that no one else had even thought of. During our one-hour phone call (with no guarantee I'd hire her), she showed a level of dedication that blew my mind. We even decided to meet at Olive Garden that same evening, and she drove 45 minutes past her office hours just to accommodate my late working hours. Here's the kicker: I told her I couldn't hire her until my finances were sorted in a few days. Despite that, Sharon pulled an all-nighter, filed my divorce papers the very next morning, and kept me updated with emails and texts—all on her own dime! UNREAL! I've dealt with many lawyers in my time, but Sharon is, hands down, the best. She's not just an incredible lawyer—she's an amazing person inside and out. Her genuine concern and that "X" factor set her apart in a profession that rarely shows such rare characteristics. If you pass up on her, you're making a huge mistake. My standard for legal representation is now sky-high because of her. Her 35 years of experience definitely shine through, but it's her humility, integrity, and above all, her empathy that make her truly exceptional. Sharon is an absolute gem. An ANGEL sent. THANK YOU SHARON

Troy Moore was extremely helpful to my family during very difficult times. After my father passed, he guided us through the challenging and confusing probate process. When my mother passed a year later, he again provided excellent help and support with our estate issues. Like most people, I had no idea how to settle my parents' accounts and deal with all the other legal issues involved when someone dies, so I cannot thank Troy enough for his work and support. He was always available to answer questions, clearly explained everything that we needed to do, and was always prompt and efficient with everything. I highly recommend consulting with Mr. Moore for any estate planning and related problems!

I originally booked a consultation last year with Pervaiz to discuss my options since I was going through divorce. I didn't have enough info for her during my 1 hour consultation so she cut my session short. So I ended up having a credit for 150$ from the 300$ hour consultation. After I finalized my divorce amicably with my ex, I decided to reach out to schedule a consultation to write a Will. No Money was collected for this appointment, I just reminded them I had the credit still in my account and they confirmed. I called and emailed the day of my appointment to let them know I had a 103 fever and that I was very sick and I am not able to discuss anything related to a "Will". I mean how could you? With a high fever!! This is a serious topic and you need you full brain capacity to do so!! Pervaiz refused to reschedule my appointment and they told me if I do not call at my appointment time that they will not allow me to reschedule. I was diagnosed with the flu and pneumonia and they can clearly tell I am not making my sickness up from the way I was coughing. I offered to send a doctor's note however she just decided to take the credit I have left with them instead of being empathetic with my situation! This clearly shows you that she doesn't care about people! And she just knew I had a credit and took it! Sickness happens and this unpredictable. I will not recommend her to anyone especially after what happened to me!

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.
