My first experience with Mr. Franks came at the referral of our family attorney, and boy let me tell you was it a home run from the start. Immediately from the start I could tell this man was very organized and prepared, this divorce was a very stressful time for me and he made all that disappear from the very beginning. I would "STRONGLY RECOMEND" Mr. Franks services to anyone who may be in need of them, rest assured you will be in great hands, if I could give more than five stars I would.

I was so pleased with Mr.Franks’ services. He was professional and personable. His knowledge of the subject matter with both previous experiences and the written laws was exactly what I needed in my property ownership dispute. He explained things clearly in layman’s terms and was so patient. I will highly recommend Mr.Frank’s services!

There is no way I would have won my case without Renee and the Renee Kennedy PLLC legal team by my side. I initially came in as the underdog, thought I didn’t have a fighting chance in my case. But her legal team turned everything around for me by paying attention to detail and catching my ex’s legal strategy mistakes that other attorneys couldn’t see. I’m super grateful to them. I ended up coming out from the bottom to the top. And there’s no way in the world I would have been able to flip my situation if it wasn’t for this law firm. Highly recommended!!! If you need a skilled, super experienced law firm. They are your must go-to.

Grateful for her service. Professional team who was on top of my case during this difficult time. Ms. Kennedy was my lawyer and advisor for several months during divorce process.

I had the great pleasure of having Ms. Kennedy represent me in my divorce. A friend recommended her. I had been married for 45 years and my wife was disabled, the marriage ended due to my ex-wife's infidelity. I have various 401k savings from different employers, annuities, bank accounts and military retirement. All said and done, Ms. Kennedy negotiated the deal of a lifetime for me. I did NOT have to pay any alimony and I only had to give up twenty five percent of my military retirement and nothing else. I kept 100 percent of everything else. The process of going through a divorce is something that I would not wish on anyone. But things happen and if you find yourself going through a divorce, I cannot say enough great things about Ms. Kennedy and her whole staff. Every email, phone call, or message was usually answered within thirty minutes. There is not another attorney that I would want to represent me if I had to go through another divorce.

If you are getting divorced, thinking about getting divorced, or have any sort of custody issues, pick up the phone and call Larry LaRaus. He will make sure he understands what's important to you and be in your corner every step of the way, knowing what tactic to use when -- whether that's being a pit bull in the courtroom, a suave diplomat in negotiations, or penning the most biting, on-point messages to your ex's lawyer that they're silenced. He will do all of these things with his signature grace, fierce confidence, strong ethic, and warm humor that will be a beacon of sanity, reason, and assurance during this process. He has a deep and nuanced understanding of the law, and he expertly navigated the complexity of my case, which had been initiated in a different state, involved a special needs child, and featured a revolving door of opposing counsel. He brought a rare combination of empathy, practicality, and ferocity to my divorce -- and he got things done in a way I feel great about. While I may not have made the best decision in choosing a husband, choosing Larry to represent me in my divorce was the best decision I ever made -- for myself and my kids.

Vicki and Barb were amazing throughout my divorce. Vicki will not waste your time/money with pointless meetings or calls, but she will show up for court prepared and organized. She made my spouse's attorney look incompetent and unprepared when she walked in with a binder for testimony with color-coded tabs for each section that we covered. Vicki was able to find a case law that got my foot in the door in a court system that otherwise would have refused to hear my case and continued to let my financially dominant ex continue to exert power and control through financial manipulation. But mainly, Vicki and Barb truly care about you on a human level and will treat your case with care and compassion. The family you created being legal broke apart is NEVER an easy thing but I am sure that having Vicki and Barb's support made it so much better than it otherwise would have been. Thank you!

I cannot express how extremely happy I was to have Vicki Francios as my lawyer during a very long 2+ year custody and child support battle. Vicki was not only extremely knowledgeable, but she explained everything to me with extreme detail and on a level that I would understand. I never felt rushed in a meeting or on the phone when discussing the details and strategies of my case. Vicki answered every question I had and provided reasoning behind them. However, the main thing that I was overly thankful for was Vicki’s compassion, caring, and concern for not only my life, but my child’s during this difficult time. She put my child’s safety and care above all. Vicki understands these situations are difficult and she does everything to protect her clients. She truly cares for her clients. Vicki was not only my lawyer, she was my friend through all this. I highly recommend retaining her for any legal need.

I am a lawyer, though not a divorce lawyer. When my daughter was a the start of her divorce proceeding, she asked if I knew any lawyer in the field. I spoke with a former colleague, a family lawyer who was about to retire, and she whole-heartedly recommended " a great younger lawyer" she had worked with -- Hayden. My daughter interviewed and hired him. She was thrilled with him, commenting often on his expertise and, as important, his empathy. He took the time to listen and understand her concerns and problems. Though she was Hayden's client, several times during her proceeding she asked Hayden to talk with me so I could provide my views to her. He was great from this fellow lawyer's perspective. His explanations were clear, very helpful and concise. (There are few things I hate more than a rambling lawyer who runs up the cost meter). My daughter's proceeding ended very successfully a few weeks ago. I share her views that Hayden very effectively represented her interests and secured the best possible settlement. I will be forever grateful for his excellent representation of "my little girl."

Hayden believed in me and my worth even before I did. He fought with intelligence and tenacity for what I deserved and my kids and I needed. Hayden gave us a better new beginning than I ever dreamed possible. He truly cared about helping and supporting me through the entire process of divorce and beyond. He is invested in my well being, happiness and future security. Hayden Lee quite simply showed me and delivered me my worth and my freedom. I have never been happier now that I am divorced, safe, secure and at peace. Hayden was my lawyer and counsel and a good friend. He believed in me, and fought for what was right and fair - and even more... I could not recommend him more highly. I am keeping him on retainer indefinitely. He is a great lawyer and a wonderful human!

I am deeply grateful for the exceptional legal representation I received from Ms. Stephanie Montgomery during my recently completed complex divorce process. Stephanie not only managed to secure a marital settlement agreement but also avoided the stress and financial burden of a prolonged courtroom battle. She had previously efficiently arranged a custody and visitation agreement early in the process, which was approved after the initial court hearing for child custody, visitation and support — but before an already-scheduled full hearing was needed. This strategic and proactive approach allowed me to focus on rebuilding my life and career, confident in the knowledge that I had a highly competent and compassionate attorney handling my case. If you're facing a difficult family law issue and need someone who can deliver results while minimizing conflict, Ms. Stephanie Montgomery is the attorney you want by your side.

...My research post sudden-need for divorce representation led to a consult w/well-regarded by peers, well-reviewed Ms. Jennifer Fox in Richmond, VA. Charisma and intellectual gravitas was my immediate impression. I made my "case"/communicated the financial groundwork from my dozen documents in hand. Ms. Fox was patient, then informative, relating the legal parameters for seperation leading to divorce, "amicable" or otherwise. Consumately professional, she intimated that I may be better served by Ms. Stephanie A. Montgomery, an attorney with a powerful skillset in divorce law, combined with passion and compassion regarding the protection and care of her clients. Ms. Fox had worked alongside Ms. Montgomery, and explained her advocacy also due to my divorce occuring geographically being in her jurisdiction, in case "amicable" went sideways, and local court apearences became neccesary. (meaning billable costs of travel-time for Ms. Fox to Williamsburg should be considered a factor) Ms. Fox "suggested" I speak less..let Ms. Montgomery's own professional intellectual agility do me the most service. ( This turned out to be great advice personally and professionally) Second consult appointment happened in few days. ...Thankfully, the 5 minute drive to Ms. Montgomery's location was a relief, and her office desk staff and paralegal were warm and cordial, in minutes, Ms. Montgomery escoted me to her adjacent office. I experienced a wave of relief, that "you're right were you're supposed to be" in that moment, her prescence/vibe, vocal tone and impression on point...effortlessly. I comfortably listened as the facts and "game-board" were confirmed. My then wife had retained counsel some months ago, and had produced a financial spreadsheet and preliminary legal agreement Stephanie could analyze for their intent and stategy. There were several terms/demands not even legally appropriate involving shared married expenses, even in the face of opposing party's superior income and net worth. Ms.Montgomery then began the process to "qualify" my wants/needs/intent. Within minutes she had formed a viable counter-proposal to return to opposing council and client. I left relieved and finally in posiitive spirits. My situation required a few office visits for signatures on dox, I was efficiently updated by Keidra A. Frazier, Ms. Montgomery's paralegal. It was always so pleasant to visit, to see the staff and get the ear of Stephanie on occasion, asking advice on this or that (home for sale deed was in wife's name)...the trust she inpires is priceless itself. Finally got the decree last week (court slog thru the holiday calendar)...I will continue to Sing Her Praise throughout the Land. Cheers, G.X.Fox

It felt great knowing that I had someone with so much experience on my side and ready to help at any given time. He is very thoughtful and has always shown a genuine interest in helping me. During one of the most stressful situations I have ever been through, he eased my mind, and helped me every step of the way. Still to this day, if I have a question, he is just a text or phone call away. I am forever grateful that those other attorneys didn’t call me back and I ended up with Bob.

Kirstyn and Catherine were great advocates when my Ex was infringing on my parental rights with visitation. So often, and particularly in WA State, fathers are at a disadvantage when trying to enforce parenting plans and court orders. Kirstyn was able to provide balanced advice telling me what is and is not possible based on our prior Court Orders, and we determined that my Ex was in fact in contempt. We then created a case and roadmap setting expectations of possible outcomes, and Catherine represented me in court. Even though the judge was blatently against us in court based on his opinion of our verbal argument (his own bias), the written contempt was ironclad and indisputable and as a result we won, creating better and healthier boundries with my Ex. I was even awarded some of the money from the judge based on the degree of contempt and Catherine's ability to outline the ramifications.

Gwynna helped me successfully mediate a divorce. I was given her name by my financial planner, as Gwynna has successfully helped high income people through a messy process. She engaged a forensic accountant, helping me trace a lot of assets as separate property. Well worth it! Really prompt communication on the status of the case. I wasn't always happy with the speed of the process but that's primarily because the other party hired a dork and things get worked in the order they are needed. Cory is an amazing member of her team. I knew if I found an error in one of his documents, I was batting 1000.

I found Gwynna through other reviews. I met with her for a complimentary personal meeting. I came prepared with questions and some paperwork. She was very up front with me about what would be realistic in my situation and how she could help. After our meeting I felt confident that she was the right person to represent me. Divorce is HARD no matter what the circumstances are (or are not). I had my ideas of how it would all pan out....but my way was not all the "right way". Gwynna was very much on my side, to be there to support me, guide me and calm me down when I felt like I was going to lose my mind! She was up front and very honest. Supported me, but also helped me understand how the court system (and judges see things) so that we could make this the best outcome for me. I do have 2 young adult girls, so there was no decisions to be made with child support. But we did figure out fair amounts to be paid towards college. It was a LOT of work (on my side and hers). I trusted her, she VERY MUCH knows the system and how things work. She was able to handle my husbands narcissist personality and was great at adapting to the 2 lawyers my husband had through out the process. I can definitely say that she took care of me throught this 10 month process, explaining things to me, working with me through the bad and good, got me through mediation (instead of court) with a good outcome, and really showed empathy and compassion. I highly recommend her to anyone going through a divorce!

Seeking a divorce attorney was very challenging. I needed an attorney who could work with a complex process. My first attorney failed me - he declined to seek out a VITAL portion of my MSA! Frustrated and spent (one year of time and many dollars wasted), I declined to agree with the substandard MSA, and instead pushed myself to seek better representation. After a long and scrutinizing search, I came across Mandy Caffee's office. I made a phone inquiry and felt very encouraged, so I drove the miles to meet her. Mandy was professional, organized, and kept me encouraged, even as I explained how my first attorney let me down. Mandy understood I lived a distance from her office, so she made sure I could communicate easily with her - she upheld this 110%! After two years, and two attorneys (Mandy Caffee as my 2nd), my divorce was finalized. Mandy was professional, well organized, driven, and fierce. She validated my concerns, dug deep into a newer process (all while being open and honest with the progress), and made sure I wasn't walked on by my ex-spouse. I left the courtroom feeling confident in the new and well improved MSA , as well as my life moving forward. I can't imagine how things would have been if I simply settled with the outcome from my first attorney. Mandy made sure I would thrive independently, so I highly recommend her to others! I am thankful and grateful to Mandy Caffee and her assistant!

My husband and I hired Leslie after consulting with multiple lawyers about our complicated case seeking de facto parentage of our daughter. De facto parentage is a relatively new statute, and we wanted someone who was knowledgeable about this area of the law and felt confident navigating it. It was very clear from our consultation with her that Leslie was who we needed to tackle our case. It took almost a full year to get to trial, and Leslie and her staff were very supportive, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the whole process. Leslie works tirelessly to fight for her clients. I received many messages from her well after normal office hours when she was reviewing our materials, and she was available for last minute phone calls during our multi-day trial to console us and hear urgent concerns. Leslie won our trial, and we are forever grateful to her for it. We would hire her again in an instant.

I cannot thank Lisa Burris enough for the incredible support she provided during a highly stressful situation. I had a tenant who unlawfully terminated his lease without notice, leaving me in a bind. With very little time to resolve the issue, I reached out to Lisa, and she immediately stepped in to help. Despite the last-minute nature of my request, Lisa handled everything with the utmost professionalism and efficiency. She thoroughly explained my legal options, helped me navigate the complexities of the situation, and took swift action to protect my rights. Her expertise and calm demeanor were exactly what I needed during such a challenging time. Thanks to Lisa's guidance, I was able to resolve the issue quickly and with minimal stress. I highly recommend Lisa Burris to anyone in need of legal assistance—she truly goes above and beyond for her clients!

I reached out to Lisa on Sunday evening with details of my case and she had given me a call the very next day by 2pm. This was a very fast turn-around. First, she was extremely kind and knowledgable. She sat on the phone with me for nearly 30 minutes and gave so much insight on how the eviction process works. I feel more aware and confident about moving forward with the process. She didn't sugarcoat anything and was totally honest about what to expect. I highly recommend she be your first stop for all of your eviction needs.

We suffered a case that the tenant did not pay rent over 2 years. Every time, the tenant filed an appeal or motion, just trying to delay the eviction. I turned to Lisa for some help. She quickly jump in my case, prepare the documents, coordinated with Federal and County court. All she did are so prompt, and professional. I finally evicted the tenant within 1 month. That is a great outcome! Definitely recommend her if you have similar issue as landlord.

Hired Dan for two moving violation tickets. From the first time talking to Dan on the phone he made me feel comfortable about the stressful situation. Dan is a great communicator and was straightforward about the process and what to expect which I appreciated. I am happy with the outcome Dan was able to obtain and I am glad I chose him to represent me.

My name is Scott and this is all true, last November I got into some trouble with an ex girlfriend, and I was looking at three major charges. I was looking at about five years in prison and with a lot of help from Dan. I was fortunate enough to get pretrial intervention. Without Dan‘s help I would’ve absolutely gone to prison. I would’ve lost everything. This isn’t a game. This isn’t a joke. This isn’t a promo. This guy saved my life. He gave me a fighting chance. There’s a lot of lawyers out there, but by the grace of God, this guy came into my life and I am forever grateful. I can’t say enough. Hopefully, I’ll never be in any trouble again And I’ve learned my lesson, but if it wasn’t for him, I don’t know where I would be. Hope this helps. Good luck to you.

The Kingston Law Group has successfully delivered for me on three different legal issues over the past decade. These range from employment issues to alimony termination. Hanan Isaacs represented me, providing sound advice, excellent communication, solid preparation, expert legal knowledge and tenacious advocacy. Hanan is backed up by an incredibly skilled, hard-working, kind and empathetic staff. This includes Shelby and Lori, who I feel were truly invested in my success. Misty Avallone, another talented attorney in this office, was brought in to assist most recently. Misty kindly provided expert knowledge and direct assistance with a significant amount of detail work required to facilitate full preparedness for the best outcome. The entire office went over and above to accommodate a disability. Hanan and his team did a phenomenal job, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. It was a true pleasure to work with such talented, motivated and kind-hearted people.

Shelley was absolutely phenomenal from the first consultation I had with her. The efforts she went to in order help me with my case have allowed me to have a second chance. Without the counsel she provided me I would have had little to no clue what steps to take in order to fulfill all of my duties. Any questions I had she was there to answer swiftly and thoroughly. At my lowest point, she was there for me and helped me get my life back on track. I will forever be grateful to her, and I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney.

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.
