With a month to go to my wedding, I found myself with a lengthy pre-nup from my fiancé. As a lawyer, I thought I could handle negotiating it on my own, but I simply didn't have the time to study up on a whole new area of law -- or the distance from the situation to evaluate it dispassionately. Rhonda came recommended by a colleague, and I could not be happier that I found her. She really helped me understand the agreement and the background law it was altering so I could assess what was worth fighting about, and what was just weird. As we went through the back and forth, she gave me the information I needed and lots of language options to consider, and also gave me room to say, for a key part of the agreement, that I didn't think any of the language quite worked so we could figure out how to draft something that was specific to my needs and goals. In the end, I'm happy with the final document that we signed, and I know we would not have gotten there without having Rhonda's excellent counsel on my side. I've already referred her to another friend who is dealing with a messy divorce and she's been a terrific help to him already. To sum it up: hire Rhonda!!

I had the privilege of working with Laney and Flo during a challenging period in my life. Laney's strength, compassion, and work ethic stood out throughout the entire divorce process. Facing a formidable opponent with significant leverage, Laney's professionalism and extensive knowledge were invaluable. She genuinely cared about my case, even making efforts to minimize costs when possible. Our collaboration was seamless – she was responsive, organized, and always on top of things. Laney's dedication helped me stay focused on my goals, leading us to a fair settlement. Her commitment to understanding the uniqueness of my case, coupled with her willingness to go the extra mile, made the experience manageable. I am grateful for Laney's hard work and couldn't have imagined navigating this journey with a different team. Highly recommend this practice for their exceptional service.

He helped me me take the emotionally charged situation of my husband's infidelity and translate it into how the State of Tenn. marriage, grounds for divorce and marriage dissolution.

I highly recommend Mr. Scott Kimberly to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation, especially regarding child custody matters. He has been an invaluable asset in championing my son's custody rights. His adeptness in cross-examination, direct approach, and unwavering work ethic have played a pivotal role in addressing the injustices my son encountered within the legal system. Mr. Kimberly is not only dedicated to securing favorable outcomes for his clients but also prioritizes ethical practices and “refrains from exploiting them financially.” His commitment to his clients' welfare extends beyond legal representation; as a father himself, he genuinely advocates for the best interests of the children involved. If you're in search of a lawyer who will fervently uphold fathers' rights and relentlessly pursue justice, Mr. Kimberly is unquestionably the right choice. I am deeply grateful for his expertise, dedication, and unwavering support throughout this painful and challenging journey for our son, grandchildren and extended family.

I was referred to Scott from a mutual friend that we share. In the time of beginning the process of divorcing it was clear that I need representation and help to ensure I received what was fair to me under the law. When I first met him he made sure to come up, introduce himself and say "We are going to make sure you are taken care of." Any question I had about documentation, process, language was answered and explained while going through the 5 month process to reach the finish line. If you want the best, look no further.

I am extremely grateful & appreciative for Seelig Law Offices, LLC. I am suffering severe pain & unable to return to work after experiencing a work related accident. Unsuccessful pain management treatment & multiple surgeries continued to keep me from returning. I met with several law offices to discuss my case but Richard Seelig & Philip Seelig, left me feeling I was being directed by experienced & capable hands. They discussed my options & chances of a positive outcome while guiding me with accurate knowledge & experience of obtaining Social Security Disability benefits (including loss of income). Keep in mind, this is a process dealing with government appointed doctors and could seem frustrating, overwhelming & my anxiety is through the roof at times, yet, all calls, texts & emails of concern were always responded to promptly by Richard Seelig or Philip Seelig with a phone call with honest, detailed answers. Also, Joshua Gohari was patient, proficient & beneficial regarding my medical reviews. Whenever I thought it seemed bleak, he was understanding and spoke compassionately. I always felt supported by their team, without exception, all impressions are made on the 1st call or in person meeting and being greeted by Angel is a plus for Seelig offices. He is professional, respectful, informative and always directed me accurately & accordingly. I highly recommend Seelig Law Offices, LLC. Regarding all needs of Social Security Disability.

I was referred to John through legal shield and was skeptical. First impressions are everything and he quickly changed my perception. Not only did he work with me and successfully win my case to keep my daughter safe but him and his paralegal kept me up to date with everything that was going on without me having to reach out. If I would have retained him 13 years ago it would have saved me a ton of stress and I would not have dealt with the issue at hand. John superseded any expectations that I had for a lawyer and I am forever grateful to him and his firm.

I was arrested for a DUI after driving home from a double shift. I was extremely tired and found myself taking a wrong turn on the way home which led me to drive upon a DUI check point. After being arrested I contacted Mr. Mussetto late at night and not only did he answer but also showed up the next morning for first appearance. Through the entire process he was by my side giving me sound advise and keeping me informed with developments and court dates. We ended up taking my case to court and his preparation with the facts of the case and the not so prepared handling of the situation by the arresting officer and prosecutor allowed him to soundly have the jury deliver a NOT GUILTY verdict. The best decision I ever made was calling John when I faced the most difficult time in my life.

To say I had a complicated divorce would be the understatement of the century. Yet Brent took my case head on and fought harder than any attorney I had used prior to him. He always made sure to listen, hone in on the details and actually take action. His knowledge of the law is impeccable and in one particular instance, within two days of hiring him at that, he used that knowledge of the law to stop a situation happening. Even after moving hours away now, I will never use another lawyer again. I truly mean that. If you need someone GOOD and that actually cares in your corner, HE is the guy. 10/10 recommend!!!!

A friend of mine recommended Hal after my friend went through a tough divorce with joint custody. I expected a difficult joint custody battle and wanted a lawyer who was willing to fight. Hal was always very knowledgeable, direct, professional, and polite. He politely but directly let me know exactly why some of the things I wanted were inconsistent with Texas law. He also set expectations of mediation and if we had to go to court. Hal's ability to read people is even greater than his knowledge of the law. He was up front and honest about billing and everything went as we initially discussed. Hal and his team were very fair and accurate with the billing. When I contacted them they always answered my questions directly and did not keep me on the phone longer than I was willing to talk and they never contacted me unless it was necessary. When I asked Hal about opposing counsel he answered me honestly of their abilities, helping to set expectations. Due to Hal's advice, ability to read and accommodate me, the outcome was favorable to myself and child. I will use him in the future, if necessary.

Обращаюсь к Карине уже не в первый раз ( по разным вопросам) и всегда получаю высокопрофессиональную помощь в короткие сроки: мне нужно было перевести документы с английского на русский и украинский языки, проставить апостиль и пр.) Всё было выполнено на высшем уровне! Карина всегда оперативно отвечала и не жалела собственного времени, когда у меня возникали какие-то вопросы или нужно было внести незначительные изменения. Подготовленные ею документы были аккуратно упакованы в фирменный конверт Карины ( мне он очень нравится, храню его и не раз похвасталась перед друзьми, рекомендуя Карину, как знающего опытного адвоката и просто замечательную женщину.) В этом году назрел вопрос подарить свою долю в квартире моей дочери, живущей в России. Я думала, что это будет долгий и проблемный вопрос. Но обсудив на консультации все детали, Карина определила пару месяцев. На самом деле всё осуществилось гораздо раньше, без всяких проволочек и прочего бюрократизма. И я и дочь остались очень довольны. Спасибо, Карина! Теперь с помощью Карины решаем ещё одно наследственное дело в Украине. Очень надеюсь, что всё будет сделано так же качественно, как и все мои предыдущие дела. Потом обязательно оставлю отзыв, ведь о хороших людях, профессионалах своего дела нужно обязательно рассказывать. Всем, кто что-то слышал о Карине Дюваль и до сих пор не решается к ней обратиться, очень рекомендую, не тратьте зря время. Карина - ваш надёжный помощник и друг!

This review is a long time coming. I've worked with and relied on Shannon on three separate occasions over custody disputes of my eldest daughter. On all three occasions she was able to improve my situation and on two of those occasions where my situation was improved, I was on defense where I was the one that got served papers. I believe that Shannon's prowess as an attorney actually comes from her compassion for her clients. She really does take the time to listen to and understand the unique situations that each case brings and understand and empathize with the situation. She gives her best because she knows what is on the line. She cares for her clients because she takes the time to understand them and their situation. I owe Shannon a debt that I can never repay, because I owe her my relationship with my daughter.

She was empathetic and incredibly patient, and knew when to push back and how to give tough advice. She was at all times direct and professional and never gave up. We were both happy with the outcome, and that's a lot to say when you're dealing with an otherwise dramatic process.

I called the office of Attorney Anthony Ballato after searching for some who deals with knowledge of the Lemon law. Mr Ballato was extremely helpful, and personable. He spoke to me giving me his time and showing compassion. He explained that due to the car being purchased out of state he would recommend an attorney in the state where the vehicle was purchased. He just happened to know an attorney in that state I mentioned then.. he sent a text message ahead while still on the phone with me sharing with this attorney my dilemma. I was amazed because many would and have said “sorry but I can’t help you” that’s out of my jurisdiction. Not Mr Ballato he wen the extra mile and I am so very grateful to him.

I bought a Harley Davidson motorcycle that sadly turned out to be a lemon. Initially, I decided to handle the process of filing a lemon law claim on my own. However, once I received a response from Harley's attorneys, I quickly realized that I was in over my head. I found Anthony Ballato's firm through an online search. Despite my hearing being scheduled just a few weeks away, Anthony graciously agreed to review my case. After our discussion, it became evident that I would greatly benefit from his experience and expertise. I hired Anthony and it didn't take long for Harley to become more cooperative. Eventually, we reached a settlement that left me very satisfied. Next time I will save myself a considerable amount of time and frustration and go to Anthony first.

To say that I am emotional and overbearing is an understatement but Courtney handle everything that came her way. We wanted our daughter to start the upcoming school year with our last name which is alot considering the short time frame. Courtney not only made it happen but she also went above to take care off the small sentimental things that will last a lifetime for us. She is a blessing from God and I will recommend her to everyone I know.

I hired Jon for my divorce and he did a fantastic job. Not only is he incredibly professional and diligent, but he is an incredibly hard worker. He was able to get me custody of both of my children as well as secure child support for me to support our children. I recommend Jon for all your legal needs.

Mr. Mahoney was like no other laywer, and we had more than 10 we have hired since 2015. He saw right thru the lies. Best money spend ! In no better words but in these perfect words that I can say about today- he was a home run on my enforcement! Let him do this thing and don’t bother him, have your evidence organized and the timeline ready for him. Stay quiet, and listen. Thank you Mr. Mahoney! - Mr and Mrs Q

I had consulted with Miss Bernier or legal advice on a divorce. My divorce was not normal by any means. I had to do with a high profile case in twined with my divorce. Because of that, it made it a very lengthy and expensive battle. Mrs. Vernier and her co-council were absolutely amazing. Everyone was willing to do everything they could to help me win my case. On a personal note, she would do everything she could to keep me saying and help me on the emotional side of the case. It was very long and drawn out, but in the end, things ended up in my favor. Vernier and all of her staff have become more like family. They were always willing to do everything they could to see that things were going to end up in the best scenario possible I would not hesitate to hire this firm again for any legal reason .

She takes charge and when she speaks in court the opposition even cringes because she knows what she talking about and always pushes to get her point across. She is the Red Dragon "Drogan " from Games of Thrones . You need the best, Call Ruth Vernier

I highly recommend Gary and his staff.

Attorney Stella has been an absolute lifesaver for my family during a time when we needed expert legal guidance. From the moment we reached out to her, she demonstrated a level of professionalism and compassion that was deeply reassuring. Her expertise was evident as she navigated us through complex legal waters with ease, ensuring we understood every step of the process. What really set Stella apart was her personal touch. She didn't just see us as clients, but as people going through a challenging time. Her determination to achieve the best possible outcome for us was unwavering, and it was clear she was fighting for us with every ounce of her considerable skill. Thanks to Stella's tireless efforts, our legal issues were resolved much more favorably than we had hoped. Her strategic thinking, coupled with her kind and empathetic approach, made all the difference. We felt supported and valued throughout our entire journey with her. We cannot recommend Attorney Stella highly enough. She's not just an outstanding attorney; she's a remarkable person who goes above and beyond for those she represents. Our family is immensely grateful for her help and we are confident that anyone who seeks her services will be in the best of hands.

If you find yourself in a bind, contact Todd immediately to represent you. He was able to take my case from start to finish and kept me informed every part of the process.

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.
