Nichole Greene and her amazing team truly exceeded all expectations I had for the outcome of my custody battle, child support and divorce. My paralegal specifically Amy Stanley listened to all My concerns, my hurt, and gave solutions to with Mrs. Greenes consult. They worked with me as a struggling single mom without making me less important. They responded quickly, efficiently and gave me legal advice and representation that never steered me wrong. They gave me the strength and courage I needed to have during the hardest time of my life and I would recommend them to absolutely everyone !

We consulted with Nick regarding grandparent's rights and visitation in our state last year. He was not only thorough, patient, very knowledgeable and a great listener, but was incredibly empathetic which was what we needed for such a sensitive matter. If we need legal services in the future we will definitely go to Nick and would highly recommend him.

Nick helped my family settle our grandmother's estate. He was very knowledgeable in the matter and helped us navigate a complex situation involving substantial assets. I appreciated the time he spent researching and presenting our options and working with us every step of the way during a challenging time for our family. He was excellent at communication, very matter of fact, and responded to my questions and requests in a timely manner. I highly recommend Nick in assisting with estate planning and resolution.

Before I've even started to type this, I have tears of thanks running down my face. From our very first conversation, Kristen assured me and reassured me over and over again that we would get through this nightmare together and that my daughter and I would be happy and safe. Despite my extreme anxiety and stressful breakdowns through the 2+ year case, she was patient, understanding and supportive. Being in a marriage where I was degraded and abused for years, left me with zero self esteem and no conidence at all. I believed every awful thing the ex told me...( he'd get full custody, I'd never see my daughter again, he'd put me in jail for kidnapping etc..) I can't even tell you how many terrified tears I cried in the beginning. Step by step, with Kristen in my corner, I started to feel more secure and confident that I had finally made the right choice by leaving. While my ex made this a LONG drawn out process, Kristen kept me in the loop and as calm as possible. Two years later, I'm back to the strong, confident, independent woman I was before my miserable marriage. I know that I am a great mom and I've made the best choices for my daughter and I. I went from daily anxiety/panic attacks in fear of losing my baby girl, to laughing at the absolute ridiculous nonsense that my ex used to terrify me with. The first great choice I'd made in years was hiring Kristen. Even when I wanted to give up, she wouldn't let me. Even when I was willing to settle for less than my daughter and I deserved, she wouldn't let me. She fought harder for me than I would've even fought for myself. And everything she encouraged me to fight for was absolutely correct. My daughter and I are living our best lives and are protected and worry free. My simple words of thanks will never be enough.

I lost custody of my then 5 year old daughter to her abusive father for 2 years. I appealed and won, but during those two years I had to do everything I could to fight for her safety and freedom. It was grueling and relentless. I reached out to many lawyers and professionals trying to find people to help but was often re-traumatized when they minimized or dismissed the abuse. When I had my first call with Kristen, I finally felt seen and heard. She listened to me with empathy and understanding, and I knew she would be in our corner the whole way. She knew the laws inside and out, made it very accessible for me to understand, and she was so smart in how she approached my very complex case. She helped secured better outcomes than I could've even imagined after such horrific experiences in family court. She was always responsive, prepared, and was an advocate for me and my daughter's safety first and foremost. I can't thank her enough for taking our case when many other's wouldn't or would've tried to downplay our experiences. She saved our lives. She helped give my daughter a second chance to regain her childhood. We have a final DVPO until her 18th birthday thanks to Kristen's advocacy for our safety. Getting referred to her was a complete turning point, and I will forever be grateful. I HIGHLY recommend her!

Hiring Kristen to represent me was the best choice I made during the difficult first days of separation, and now that my divorce is final I'm even happier with my decision. Through the whole process I had someone on my side who is smart and capable, and who I also liked talking to as a human being. She knows the ins and outs of WA family law. She gave me thorough and realistic advice. She respected that I wanted a low-conflict divorce, although if we'd gone to court I have no doubt she would have been a tough fighter. Her billing is honest and transparent so it actually worked out (relatively) affordable. I hope this is the last time I get divorced, but I'll be happy to work with Kristen for my future family law needs.

I am so grateful for Matt Arnold and his team. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever be going through a divorce. After almost 22 years of marriage that is exactly what I was doing and I was a complete mess. At the consultation Matt was straight forward and painted an accurate picture of what to expect. From the hiring of Matt to our final day in court was a 5 1/2 year process. Throughout the entire process Matt and Joanna, his paralegal, were amazing. Never...ever did I feel unimportant. Whenever they were working with me I felt like their only client. I had some less than stellar moments and every time they would kindly and graciously help me get back on track and refocused on the end goal. We had several court dates throughout this divorce process. Every time Matt was completely prepared. He is formidable. He doesn't get flustered or caught off guard. He has a grasp and understanding of the law that is, in my honest opinion, unmatched. He and his team leave no stone unturned. They do absolutely everything they possible can to achieve your absolute best outcome. The divorce process most likely will take longer than you want and cost more than you want. The lawyer you hire to carry you over the "finish line" holds your future in their hands. It is a decision that will have a ripple effect on the rest of your days. You want those hands to be strong, capable, tireless, genuine, knowledgeable, determined, and willing to fight for you. Those hands belong to Matt Arnold. That may sound "corny" as you read my review. I am emotional as I write it. I honestly and whole heartedly mean every word. This mid 50s ish old woman who was heart broken and fearful could not be more grateful for Matt Arnold and his team. I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, I was in very good capable hands and I am eternally grateful . Matt Arnold is who you want representing you.

2018 I consulted 2 attorneys before contacting Mr Arnold. I was told twice that I screwed myself being Pro Sa and that I’m lucky my ex bf- no blood relation to my son, didn’t get more visitation rights than what was awarded. I wasn’t accepting that. Matt Arnold and his team got my case dismissed and my ex no longer had rights to a child who was not biologically his. I would chose him again in a heartbeat and have recommended him to others. When I was told the door had closed, Mr Arnold knocked it down. Thank you so much!

As my family law attorney, Matt Arnold has done an exceptional job in representing the interests of me and my child. I observed his overall performance as a lawyer and specifically in his capacity as a courtroom litigator. Ashley Crowder has also done an exceptional job in serving me in this case. Both Mr. Arnold and Ms. Crowder are knowledgeable, well-prepared, organized and well-versed in family court law. Mr. Arnold accepted my case and was able to prepare for trial in less than 30 days. As a result of his expertise and dedicated work effort, he was able to obtain a successful outcome on my behalf. Mr. Arnold and Ms. Crowder work exceptionally well as a team and both of them kept me apprised of the timing and steps in the proceedings at all times. Mr. Arnold is highly professional, knowledgeable and strategic in dealing with his clients’ interests. He is a strong communicator and collaborative with his clients in the way that he approaches the issues and makes a plan to address them. Ms. Crowder is equally professional and adept in her communications skills. Mr. Arnold has an exceptional staff. He has a highly-experienced team of associate attorneys, paralegals and administrators. The team is very responsive and timely in completing work. They maintain a clear line of communication regarding progress and calendaring of hearings and filings of motions. The team is polite, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Mr. Arnold and his staff have a proven track record that has demonstrated his ability to successfully represent his clients in a way that instills confidence and delivers the best results for you and your children. I highly recommend Mr. Arnold, Ms. Crowder, and the staff at Arnold and Smith, PLLC, to effectively handle family court and custody case proceedings in your best interest.

At a time when our family was going down an uncharted territory facing a very difficult task of dealing with the challenges of our loved one facing very serious charges, we began our search for legal representation. The prospect of losing our loved one to the criminal justice system was a reality where our son was facing being charged with two Class C Felonies and potentially serving a maximum sentence of 60-years. Facing such serious charges, we knew that it was crucial in finding the right attorney to not only represent but also believe in our son, recognizing that he was a young man who made a very bad decision but willing to fight to provide him a second opportunity in life. During our very first conversation, we knew Attorney Ohiku was the right person to represent our son. Attorney Ohiku truly embodies, “Caring for the Whole Person”, as from day one he showed true compassion. Attorney Ohiku throughout the entire process was very straightforward, readily assessible and very responsive. It was through Attorney Ohiku’ s hard work, experience and professionalism that ultimately led to one charge being dismissed and that ensured our son received both a fair and favorable outcome. Our family will always be forever grateful for his guidance and dedication. Attorney Odalo Joseph Ohiku is a true blessing.

He helped me through the process, and along the way demonstrated that his long experience has provided him with insights into how the "other side" will behave that I would not have received from a lesser attorney.

After my ex-wife and I separated, I contacted Fred upon a referral from a relative. Being separated from my wife and facing a potential divorce was a most trying and emotional time for me. I had no real idea of what was involved in a divorce proceeding. Fred was very understanding and empathetic to my situation, provided me with sound advice, and helped me proceed one step at a time, recognizing that reconciliation with my wife was still a hope for me. When it was apparent that a divorce was going to be the outcome, Fred guided me through each step of the process. During the six months that I was separated from my wife, Fred provided me with wise counsel, fully explaining available options, in response to developing situations/difficult interactions with my wife that ensued. In following Fred's expert legal advice as we collaborated on the "Separation and Property Settlement Agreement", I was able to minimize the financial impact of the divorce proceeding. I highly recommend Fred if you find yourself in a situation where you are facing a potential divorce and need the legal services of someone you can trust and have full confidence in their expertise and legal advice.

Our case was definitely an unusual case considering the child wasn’t biologically ours and we weren’t sure how to go about getting custody but Jennifer and her assistants definitely worked right by our side through the whole process. Jennifer is 100% honest with you from the start, she won’t pursue something if she isn’t sure she can’t win it for you and she will tell you that. She’s a very intelligent, genuine person. We now have custody of the child and he’s in a safer place with people who can love and care for his every need. I highly recommend Jennifer Hammonds Davis if you ever need an attorney. I can’t leave out the girls in the front because they were definitely always welcoming and was doing everything they could to assist Jennifer and us through out this process. They’re all so sweet and you always enter the office with welcoming smiles.

It is my pleasure to write this review, as I’ve been in a custody battle since my son was born. 3 years, it took 3 years to get full custody, but Jennifer even seeing my story and knowing all of the truths and seeing the evidence for herself, knew there were laws to follow before we could get my son and I to where we are now. She stood this case out with me, she informed me of all of the law changes (laws have changed drastically from when I was a child), and the chances the opposing party were entitled to before we could fight for my son to the fullest. She was very knowledgeable, very organized, on top of things for every court appearance, kept me in the loop of things, how they would go, what it was that was happening the day of. She never walked into court without being ahead of the game and well prepared to fight this for and with me. Their firm stayed on top of my questions, always reached back out to me with any concerns I had, and literally just made sure I knew that my concerns were valid. No, they can not just jump straight to a conclusion for you, but they will fight for what they know is right in all aspects. 1000% recommend Jennifer for a family/custody lawyer. Very empathetic, she’s watched my son grow from birth to 3 and was just as concerned for him as I was. Always asked how he was at appointments if he was not present with me. She felt like family. Someone who is on the outside, watching what you’re going through, but never fails to show her genuine concerns. She was proud of the young man my son was turning out to be and could notice the mothering that was provided to my son through these times. Again, highly recommend the Davis law firm for any of your family needs. They will not let you down. Things may not happen in your timing, but they will not fail you. They know the steps that must me taken and the laws that have to be followed to get you where you need to be.

Bob (Mr. Wolle) and his assistants Aime and Katrina were very kind, generous with their time, professional, and knowledgeable. They guided me through all processes and made sure I had everything in order. They were patient with all my questions. Bob and his team made sure I was educated in the process of bankruptcy and was there "by my side" at the finish line. I highly recommend this legal team!

I hired Mr. Wolle for my bankruptcy matter, and found quickly that he was extremely kind, generous, professional, and knowledgeable. He is a phenomenal attorney. His knowledge of the law and response times (calls, emails, requests, etc.) were more than I could ask for. He walked me through the process and made sure I had everything documented to have a successful case. He was very patient with all my questions and made sure I had the knowledge of the bankruptcy process to make all the right decisions. I would highly recommend Mr. Wolle to anyone I know.

My daughter received a traffic ticket and being from Chicago who do we turn to for help and guidance. We received a number of letters from local law firms but Farmer &Morris Law stuck out to us. Gabrielle and Alexis worked with us through the very difficult issues because of the Pandemic. They suggested Megan take an in person driving class, but we couldn’t find any locally in Illinois because of the lockdown. On top of that Megan then needed to go to Florida for 4 months. How to prepare a case the court would accept? Well they worked overtime to find a Florida class that was acceptable and communicated with us regularly. The outcome was positive and we are appreciative for their help and guidance.

I reached out for a consultation in the Morning Mr. Tortolero called me later that same afternoon. He was very friendly and professional but not like a stuffy professional. I was rushing I thought he is not being paid let me get right to it! It was quite the opposite, I felt like I was his client, he was patient, knowledgeable and extremely honest, transparent and supportive as if I was his client. He was like a cheerleader. He shot me down if he thought my suggestion was not going to fly in court he did not sugar coat things, I appreciated that. He was honest about the cost he did not lie and say oh it will only be x amount and I will have this done in no time. I do not know if I will hire an attorney or not but if I do it will for sure be Daniel A. Tortolero he was like state farm he felt like a good neighbor!!!! I felt like I knew him for years.

I met with with Dan seeking legal advice regarding a divorce and domestic situation. Having never been through anything legal before, I was lost on how to navigate the legal system and understand my next steps. While meeting with Dan, he helped me narrow down what was important to me moving forward in the case and provided me with guidance on making the right decision with my best interest in mind. After meeting with Dan, he helped me have a clearer picture of what my rights are and the steps to take. I am thankful for Dan's honesty and clear direction. I feel more confident on the Legal path ahead. Thank you Dan!

Mr. Daniel is the most sincere man I've spoken to, he gave me a free 15 min consultation, offered me the best solution for free! He shared an idea to make a deal and saved me 20k that anyone else could've ran to get my money. He however listened patiently for me to tell my story, seen that I could afford 10k-20k and offered me a solution that saved me so much money and it worked!!! I admire this man and will highly recommend him for anyone who needs a family law attorney. Thanks Daniel thanks a lot!

Filed my first, and hopefully only, divorce through them. Really affordable and was cheaper than any other attorney’s in my area. The attorney appointed to me, Michael Ephraim, David Grey and their whole legal team were attentive and made sure to remind me about papers to get signed and to review which really helped me due to my ADHD. I highly recommend this firm to anyone that needs the services they provide.

When my daughter passed away I had to file for custody of my grandson the same day she died. Ashley worked hard to help me keep my daughters son here in the only home he has ever known and with the only family he has ever known. We won because of her dedication to her work. I can never thank her enough! I would recommend her to anyone who needs a brilliant attorney who truly cares. She is the best family attorney in the state of Virginia!

Ms. Mroczek is a wonderful attorney. She isn't a surface level attorney, and she dove right into my case, getting to know me and my children right away. She showed that she cared about my situation. One of the things that made me feel the best, was that I didn't have to refresh her memory of my case when I went in for meetings, she remembered every detail. She is so well spoken, driven, responsive, and intelligent. She and her staff went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and worry less about my upcoming case. Her online case management system is extremely organized and easy to use. When things would come in from the opposing counsel, I would panic, but Ms. Mroczek stayed calm and handled each situation amazingly. I would absolutely trust her with any case going forward, but hopefully there won't be a need. I can't say thank you enough to Ms. Mroczek and her team for all their hard work and dedication to my case.

I was appointed Michael La Fratta as my attorney. From the beginning I was very impressed with his service and knew I was in good hands. He always made sure I knew the status of my case and encouraged me to continue doing well in my recovery. I was facing 3 felonies (2 possession charges and 1 possession with a gun). I was so scared of what would happen to me if those charges turned to convictions. But Michael didn't back down. He wanted my case to have as little impact on my life as possible. He was so proud of my progress he kept working with the prosecutor until he got what we wanted. Thanks to Michael La Fratta all 3 felony charges were null-processed (dismissed). I am forever in debt to Michael. He saved my life. Now I am felony free and I can continue my new life in sober living. I would highly recommend Michael La Fratta to everyone. Thank you so much Michael.

Hiring John Painter is one of the best decisions I have ever made, truly worth every penny. He is not only incredibly smart, but very quick on his feet, exceptionally creative, but the value of his experience becomes clear once you see him in a courtroom - this man has seen it all and I can't say how important that is in these cases. Mr. Painter is a kind gentleman when you meet him, but don't let that fool you - he is a true bulldog and will put every ounce of sweat and effort into fighting for you. Mr. Painter left no stone unturned - challenging every point, making strong and legitimate objections (and repeating those as they came up again), pinning down witnesses and ultimately presenting some very novel legal arguments I don't think other lawyers would have tried or thought of. As I waited for my case to be called on trial day, I saw several attorneys defend their clients with mediocre arguments or otherwise simply accept guilty pleas, every single one of them being found guilty. Statistically for NC, that is what I would expect and I was preparing myself for the same. Mr. Painter had mentioned a novel legal argument when we first met, and I wasn't sure it would work but I also didn't expect an attorney to try something besides settling and hoping for the best sentencing outcome, as I believed my case was fairly clear cut. I blew way over both on scene and at the station, it wasn't particularly close. I am sure I would not have had the same outcome with another lawyer - not guilty. Mr. Painter follows every witness closely, taking notes that he uses to create a timeline that he somehow manages to refer back to with an uncanny ability to process all of that in his head in real time. Mr. Painter put on a truly remarkable performance, challenging every point made by the state, repeated objections that arose and came up again (one of which the state seemed to even acknowledge had put their case in a bit of a bind, and it certainly wasn't an obvious one I would have realized - and this wasn't the first time Mr. Painter had brought it up), and not leaving anything on the table for the judge to consider in favor of conviction without challenging its merit. Mr. Painter handled my case for three years, and kept me from making court appearances until the time was right. I was ultimately found not guilty, 100% due to this man and I feel (as I have seen many others on here mention) as though I owe him more than the legal fees I paid (which were probably a bit higher than some other attorneys at the time, but worth every penny and looking back I would have paid more). What an incredible relief when I had all but accepted that I was likely to be convicted, potentially having to wait several years before the asterisk on my record was removed (likely after the damage was already done). Do yourself a favor and go talk to Mr. Painter in order to put yourself in the best hands possible; you won't find his level of skill in another attorney and the consequences are too great not to.

I have used John Painter twice on two family related criminal cases almost 20 years apart. Both times I got exactly what I wanted. John listened to my situation and educated me on what my options were, John Painter billed me a very reasonable rate and kept me informed though out the process. Both times the cases were dismissed. Thats exactly what John said would happen. John has been a local criminal defense attorney for over 40 years. He not only knows everyone in the deck of cards he can pretty much predict what their going to do. He's been right every time. If you want the absolute best results in your case John Painter comes highly recommended.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
