I hired Katie for my child custody case and she was nothing short of amazing throughout the entire process. She kept me informed and in the loop through each step from opposing counsel emails to letting me know when our work was filed. She listened to my concerns and did her very best to vouch for me. Katie went the extra mile in assuring I was prepared for trial by reviewing questions I would be asked in court and even took time outside of office hours to do so. She was honest and open about her rates, there was never a surprise in charges, and also tried to help me save money when she could. When you have an attorney it’s easy to say I want this and that and expect things to go your way, but Katie made sure I was informed if something was unlikely and gave me recommendations on what I could do differently. With Katie by my side, I felt confident during this difficult journey and I highly recommend her services for anyone in search of an attorney!

I am truly grateful for the representation of Fender Law Firm during an extremely difficult divorce. Addison and Tracy are "The Real Deal". Addison remained professional and made it a point to encourage me to share my thoughts throughout the process. Both Addison and Tracy wanted to know how the children were coping and were eager to learn of their daily routines. My case was definitely unique and Addison prepared and sought experts to best represent both my children and me. He respected my faith and encouraged me to pray prior to making decisions. Most importantly I needed a strong litigator to defend me who actually cared and could clearly see the truth. Fender is a team and they take a family approach. Tracy manages the office and communications which kept us all focused and on track. I admire their work ethic and the heart they place into the day to day grind. Fender Law Firm is by far set apart and a true asset to the community!

Lance is an exceptional lawyer – not only is he experienced and knowledgeable, he is also compassionate and deeply empathetic. When I came to him in the midst of escaping an abusive and traumatic relationship, Lance provided both legal guidance and unwavering support. He helped me navigate the legal process, while also encouraging me to rebuild myself and my life. His professionalism was unmatched, especially when facing the opposing side's constant attempts at manipulation and intimidation. The journey was long but Lance helped me get through it. He is a remarkable lawyer and I am forever grateful for his help.

I was not referred to Lance. I live 90 minutes away from his office and needed an attorney on Long Island. I chose Lance based on a few positive reviews and a frantic need for representation. A complex divorce has had me working with him for almost two years. Amid a hectic schedule that all good divorce attorneys navigate , moments when the emotions of it all make you feel snubbed by the world, and even your attorney, Lance has helped me to create a case against my ex-wife that will likely result in the win I’ve longed for. If it doesn’t, it will have been of no fault to Lance. Together we crafted a motion that dissected my ex-wife’s false claims and lies. Over a year later, 8 adjournments and a continued emotional roller coaster I was able to see Lance on trial. His performance was no less than brilliant in every way possible. While my case is ongoing, his strategy made a fool of opposing counsel, and his intellect, instinct and confidence in front of the judge completely demolished the false narrative that was presented to the court by my ex. As a loving father this moment to fight back felt like life or death for me. While I feel like I’ve already won bases on egregious actions of my ex, and the truth, I’m realistic a court may not see what I saw. But what I saw was a true professional who accomplished more than I could ever ask for in a trial. I don’t expect to lose, but if I do, it will not be because of Lance Simon. He is not an attorney who focuses on divorce and collects a paycheck by squeezing every penny out of his clients, he is a skilled professional focused on winning As a client, it is hard to differentiate emotions from necessary strategy. It takes a pro who knows how to position your case in front of a judge to succeed. I trusted him and he surpassed my expectations. The best way to work with Lance is to ask what he needs from you, and how that information needs to be disseminated to him. Your efforts will make the difference. Throughout this wild ride, Lance will be fast to return text and emails, and slow at time. This is common for every attorney brave enough to take on the insanity of divorce. Your time will come when you feel completed loved by Lance. Be patient. Your opinions will be heard. You’ll like be put in your place a few times, but tensions are high in battle. True Leaders keep the novices in line. You’ll need thick skin everywhere you turn while in a divorce battle. Beyond legal, and after significant time spent with Lance, at his office and even at his home, I also leaned he is a very good father and loving husband. His humanity has mattered to me. It should to you. Regardless of my final outcome, I’m happy to refer Lance as exceptional attorney. After the bills add up, and stress you out, you’ll be getting more value then you know. Great job Lance.

These are two things you are looking for in a lawyer when you are going through emotionally and financially exhausting processes like divorce, dvpo, custody and other family law matters. Court systems are hard to navigate when you have enough to take care as a single parent and while you are adjusting to your new reality. Brian helps take this burden off of you. He is highly knowledgeable and knows how to navigate these issues and address them appropriately. He is mindful of your finances and does a great job representing you, which is all you can ask for and expect. He listens, unlike a lot of other lawyers out there, he takes your input and advises on what the law dictates and advises accordingly. He is not brash but rather the kindest lawyer I've worked with, and I have worked with for almost 4 years. I must add that his para legal Jeff Welling has also been present to answer when Brian is attending to other clients; they are both highly responsive. I pray for continued success and well-being to Brian and his team and thank them for their time and efforts.

I have worked with Brian P. Edwards and his team closely over the past 14 months. I am writing this fresh out of an arduous, complex circumstance and trial. While results are pending, I am compelled to share my experience. What I needed: Due to having several friends who are attorneys, I’m very discerning and had my own matrix for assessing potential counsel. I needed someone who could keep the things I most cared about center to their work. This person also needed to be highly competent in every facet of representation. Due to my circumstance, I needed someone who could tame conflict, not induce it. I found that person in Mr. Edwards. My experience with Brian P. Edwards: Brian’s vast experience in the court system makes him incredibly grounded. He has seen everything and cuts through the chaos, providing clarity. His approach is pragmatic and he’s highly intentional about how he works my case, saving me time and money. Through his actions, he demonstrates that my best interests are what he’s most interested in. Highly insightful, he connected the dots in areas that I, myself, have professional experience in and didn’t notice. In the face of significant adversity, Brian demonstrated every effort to get my case settled. At trial, I had the opportunity to witness him effortlessly excavate the truth in ways that only someone who is an expert in the art and science of litigation could do. Finally, it’s evident Mr. Edwards strives to enable families to live freely in peace. With over a year working together, I can say he’s a person of substantial character and a highly talented attorney. Brian is the real deal. For those embarking on this journey: I encourage you to get an understanding of the basic elements of the process - filings/motions, mediation etc. so you know what to expect. While I know Brian would happily detail out every step if asked, his time on your case will be best spent working your case. Create a support system around you, such as a therapist, other parents going through it, work out partners, etc. Engage the right people for the right things. Good luck.

Brian helped through a very tough divorce with custody at stake. Throughout the difficult process Brian was always upfront and honest about what he thought in terms of key decisions and what I wanted. If he did not think it was a sound path, he would say so and explain why. Brian was always professional in dealing with myself, the court, and opposing counsel. In dealing with opposing counsel he was balanced in advocating for me within the law with a difficult spouse that caused many problems. I would not hesitate a second in hiring Brian.

Integrity, professional, responsive and fair !! I could not give a higher recommendation for Rik Lovett. His ethical approach to a difficult job when you are dealing with the most trying of times was impeccable. He was always up-front in discussing the realities of divorce and constantly kept the ultimate goals of the case in focus. Rik's paralegals are also top-notch in assisting with your case. The fee structure was fair, and the expertise and experience Rik provides is invaluable. I found Rik extremely easy to communicate with. Look as much as you like, but you would be hard pressed to find his equal.

I wanted to share a thank you for the genuine commitment to me as I went through my divorce. When someone, like yourself, makes sure to understand a situation and provide counsel, solutions, and comfort it makes all the difference. I needed confidence as I was pretty beat down at that point and you helped me have that. It was important for me to let you know that. Gratefully!

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.

I can’t thank Phil enough for taking my divorce case. Before I hired Phil, I had interviewed and consulted with numerous attorneys and was glad that Phil was able to represent me on my divorce case where significant assets and child custody are involved. This was a major life changing event for me and every move and turn of events will impact me for many years to come. My ex-wife had hired a local prominent law firm known for its aggressive and intimidating tactics. They serve me with multiple motions and discovery demands. Phil was not intimidated by all that. He was calm, collected and composed. He coached me and guided me through many of the dark days during the divorce with our own interrogatories and legal maneuvers. Phil is thoughtful, compassionate yet can seize the opportunity to be aggressive if it means to achieve our goals. Having an extensive legal experience over the years and connected to his own network of legal experts, CPAs, Psychologists, Phil will prevail in a favorable outcome for your case. I fully trust Phil's judgement and will use him again without hesitation. Phil deserves a 10 star rating! - Deeply grateful in Seattle -

If you have been accused of something please do yourself a favor and at least have a consultation with Tom. It is overwhelming to go through this experience, particularly when you have never been accused of something in the past. From the first second I sat down with Tom, it was obvious that he truly cared about me, and I felt that I had an ally in my fight. For the rest of my life, I will never forget Tom and the compassion he showed me. He inspires me and restores my faith in humanity. I have never experienced such kindness and generosity from a stranger before in my entire life. I only wish I could repay him in some way. This review is the least that I could do.

Most people heavily slant their ratings of attorneys for divorce and custody cases based on emotions tied to the outcome. Well, I was unhappy with the outcome of my case, but I am still giving a very strong endorsement to my attorney, Mr. Yale Lewis. He always kept me informed, solicited my feedback and explained what he was going to do and why. His rational was always sound. He found a creative path forward during adequate cause that worked well. During the trial itself, he did a remarkable job of representing the situation as it happened and tying it to the law. He was able to point to the many holes in the opposing side’s portrayal of the situation. Before the judge’s verdict, I was very hopeful of the outcome. But as is often the case, the judge is the wildcard and brings in their own biases and interpretations of the law and weighs each piece of admitted evidence accordingly, often trying not to upset the apple cart. It is disappointing but understandable that they try to find every reason to keep the status quo. So what did I like about Yale that wasn’t mentioned above? Honesty, integrity, directness, he invested in understanding my case, and was far more knowledgeable about my family dynamics then my previous attorney. Yale was unafraid to give me honest opinions to determine my path going forward. Yale built a good case and he presented it well, and that is the best I could hope for.

Yale Lewis is a wonderful human being. He's a rare man. His knowledge of tribal law is impressive. He's an awesome litigator. His phenomenal ability to foresee what's possible in your case and his ability to navigate that as best as possible is a gift. He's never going to let you down. Never. He's a one of a kind lawyer. He's extremely intelligent. His staff is a wonderful extension of him. I am a client of his as a grand parent in a Civil custody trial. I believe he is a wonderful lawyer to help you protect your kids. I love the relationship we've developed. I highly recommend this law firm. He's a tiger in a suit.

WIth Hector and his associates, i felt like family. They were always honest and just a phone call or email away to reassure me and tell me exactly how the case was going. The many years of experience resonated when they walked the halls and the courts of Bexar County, as everybody always greeted them like friends. There was never a rush to conclude my case as they slowly and manticulously worked to get me the best possible outcome. They never made any promises, but the outcome was better than I could have ever asked for. All businesses of San Antonio should be run like the offices of Hector Gonzales. My family truly thanks you!

STAY AWAY FROM ANY FIRM THAT EMPLOYS KELLY KILROY! She knew she was going to be disbarred and still took our case. We lost huge amount of money because of missed opportunities. She was too focused on saving herself. She would have lost malpractice lawsuit but "had no assets." (This is our opinion based on the facts we experienced).

I hired Salah in fall of 2022 for a complex child custody issue. During our initial consultation Salah was kind, attentive, and took his time to understand the complexities of my situation. After expressing my concerns with my current custody situation and talking through the result I was hoping for,he offered sound advice without making grand proclamations, letting me know I would have an uphill battle in front of me. After hiring him to handle my case Salah continued to impress me with an unmatched level of diligence where other attorneys had fallen short. He rose to the occasion for the uphill battle at every step and came prepared with valuable insights and options. Furthermore, I always felt included in the details of my case and the decisions that were being made, he truly cares about what his clients want and makes sure that they understand how each decision will impact the case. Custody cases are emotionally draining and stressful but Salah made the process bearable and gave me a glimmer of hope that I'd been convinced was gone. Salah is a true gem, he will go into battle for you and fight for you and your family in a way that shows true dedication and skill. This review doesn't do him justice, I would hire him again without hesitation should such an occasion arise. He is a talented lawyer who takes his craft to a refined level by being a down to earth, wonderful person. You may find a different lawyer that is good to hire, but you won't find a better one than Salah.

However, from our first meeting, Bill demonstrated exceptional knowledge, dedication, and professionalism. He meticulously reviewed every detail of my case, identified errors made by my former attorney, and used that to build a strong defense. Thanks to his hard work and expertise, he was able to get my original plea significantly reduced. I am beyond grateful for his support and the positive outcome he achieved for me.

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

Jeannie took the time to explain to me not only legal aspects of my order of protection and divorce, but the entire process and what to expect. calls or emails are always responded to in a timely manner. She was amazing at my hearing for the order of protection and I can’t imagine anyone else assisting me in family cases. Thank you Jeannie and her team for all your hard work!!

When I was going through my divorce this past year, Tawyna was the right person to represent me. She was all business and fought for me like no lawyer I have ever had. If you need a strong lawyer, that has your back, and always thinking about you and your needs, she is the lawyer you for you.She saves me lots of money and was always very professional and matter of fact. The billing retainer was very reasonable in which my ex spouse spent three times more than my case. I didn’t have to be pay my ex spouse attorney fees, which saved me tons of money. Tawyna is the lawyer you need and would be foolish to go with someone else. Will go to battle with her again in the future. Her legal team is amazing and the model of professionalism. If you need a lawyer, better call Tawyna!

I was referred to Tawnya by The Alexandria Bar Association (ACBA) Lawyer Referral Service, for my uncontested divorce. I arrived at the office for my consultation appointment. The receptionist (a gentleman, didn't catch his name) didn't tell Tawnya that I arrived. 10 minutes later, she came out, and was surprised to see me. Unfortunate, but fine. Now we can begin. We get to her office, and the conversation went thus: What's your situation? I'm getting a divorce How long were you married? 6 years I sent you paperwork, you didn't complete it. Yes I did, I emailed it back to you. Do you have a signed settlement agreement? No, she won't sign. Did you send that to me? Yes, in the same email. Oh! There it is. I was beyond frustrated. I booked a 30 minute appointment, and the majority of it was eaten answering questions that I had already provided answers and documentation for when she requested it 4 days prior. I was very thorough, to avoid this exact scenario. I wanted this meeting to be productive. It wasn't. She talked me through the process, answered a few specific questions I had brought with me, but ultimately, nothing I couldn't have found online. Very disappointing experience.

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.
