Kate Flood and her team are amazing. She helped me legally change my name and gender marker. By myself, this would've been a daunting task, but Kate Flood made the process completely painless. She really delivered a life saving service to me. Thank you Kate

Kate and her team helped me navigate through the initial divorce and through subsequent filings. Kate helped me understand what to expect throughout the process, and she was right every time. She’s dedicated to her profession, and is accepting honest clients to represent! She helped educate me on all of the expectations of agreements and how to communicate as best as possible with my ex. Don’t hesitate to contact Kate. Be patient- These things take time. She cares about you and your family, and will help you understand everything!

Sean and his team have been awesome! They walked me through my divorce and answered all my questions with sensitivity and professionalism. Angela was great, and helped me through with a sense of humor. They didn't try to string me along or try to get more fees. They're a great group to work with especially when you're dealing with a difficult situation. Highly recommend.

I can only say, with all my heart, thank you very much! I came to see Attorney Marilyn Colon's after having hired two different attorneys who I felt were not representing me to their best extent.
On the first visit, I saw how professional attorney Colon was and as well as her team. She was surprised by the situations in my case and I remember her reassuring words; "You are a good father and you will have time that you deserve with your daughter."
She took all of my information about my case and started working right away. The first thing she did was send several friendly proposed agreements to the opposing attorney to avoid unnecessary expenses and as to not continue wasting time. This showed me that she was an honest professional and that she did not want to take my case just for the money. She knew the other attorney very well so she organized a great defense for my case.
In a matter of days, I began to see results. Her style of work was flawless. We began to defend ourselves from the other party's attacks with great precision.
We started to move forward and attorney Jenifer Betancourt took on my case with attorney Colon. I was surprised how she knew all the data, all the background, dates. She advised me well and explained the options to be able to finish my case and thus to not continue generating more expenses. I am really very grateful, she is an impeccable professional and her honesty makes her even greater.
Also, I would like to congratulate Noelia, her work as a paralegal was always excellent, she was always informing and works very organized, as well as Yolanda.
I am very grateful to the entire team for their hard work and for ensuring that I can spend equal amount of time with my daughter and as well as being able to come to a fair agreement.
For those who are starting or are in the process of divorce, I recommend that they retain the services of attorney Marilyn Colon. I really highly recommend this great Family Attorney.

Rebecca is probably one of the finest attorneys I have ever had the pleasure to know. She took on my narcissistic husband like a bat out of hell!l I have never met someone in her field, who genuinely cares about every single client. She is genuinely interested in all facets of your case. That I could never have handled this situation without her expertise, compassion, and chutzpah. Rebecca went to war for me. I highly recommend Rebecca she is truly top shelf. The best of the best.

I have worked with Rebecca for over a decade. Time and time again she has come through for me, and more importantly, for my kids. She has helped to temper my emotions going through difficult civil proceedings and focus on the most important elements.
You cannot go wrong working with Rebecca. She has a lot of experience for sure but also some unique attributes. Her memory is incredible. I think she remembers details of my case history better than I do. She also sees through the clutter to the most important facts to secure a win.
It has been my misfortune over the years to face many legal misadventures but Rebecca has been a rare bright light throughout.
I wish her all the best and continued success in the future. If she has an opening to take your case please don't hesitate to hire her.

Helena is truly the best in her field. She is responsive, direct and straight to the point and she get's the job done in the best possible way. My ex didn't want to respond on divorce until I hired Helena and she did what was needed to make him respond. Btw he was unpleasantly surprised when he found out who I'm working with because Helena is known for winning difficult cases. Overall, I'm very happy I hired Helena for my case and I would suggest her to anyone who has to go through divorce.

Milene was very knowledgeable and guided me through the entire Divorce process. My divorce in particular was uncontested so that was very important in getting everything finalized in 4 months. The timeline would have been shorter if it was for my ex delaying in signing certain documents along the way. Milene also provided her personal insight which was very helpful. Thanks Milene!

I contacted Wade Law Group for assistance with a small claims suit. I have worked with Brett and Dave McGraw, both have been dedicated, helpful, and have gone above and beyond to meet my expectations. Dave has provided effective legal advice and detailed explanations about the process as well as developed a plan for my hearing. Dave has gave me confidence in my abilities and quelled my anxiety. If I ever need representation or consultations again in the future, Wade Law Group will always be my first and only choice.

A leader, innovator and most importantly, a terrific lawyer. No one wants to need an attorney, but when you do need one, Amiel Wade is the one to call.

I hired Mr. Wade to expedite my divorce after being with an ill-prepared attorney for 1 1/2 years in which I didn't get past the discovery stage. I got quick results with Mr. Wade and my divorce was finalized after 4 months. His support staff quickly responded to all my emails and returned my calls. Mr. Wade is very experienced and knowledgeable and found an error in a filing by my ex-spouse's attorney and took immediate action on her behalf which saved me money and didn't prolong the divorce proceedings. He is involved in all the cases in his firm. Every Wednesday he conducts a meeting with his associate attorneys to consult and monitor their progress and provides them with his expert advice when necessary. Hopefully, I won't need Mr. Wade in the future but if I do, I would retain his services again because I was very pleased with his work and professionalism.

I engaged Robin Beattie to represent me when my ex-husband filed a motion to terminate the maintenance he had agreed to during our divorce proceedings. My attorney had since retired, and I reached out to Robin for representation. She gave me realistic expectations when we first met...what this would cost if it indeed when to court, why considering a settlement had merit, what my chances of prevailing were, and what to expect on this journey. Everything she told me in that initial discussion turned out to be spot-on. During this emotionally-charged and challenging journey, Robin was a voice of professionalism, expertise, compassion and wisdom. She made thoughtful decisions around how/where to spend my money to provide the best outcomes, always knew the details of what was occurring in the lead-up to court, kept opposing council accountable for what they were to be doing, and built a legal case with great merit.
Robin’s level of preparation for my court case was beyond impressive. Several weeks before my court date, she had prepared her entire case, enlisted feedback from her team at the firm, worked with me to clarify points and ensure my comfort with it, and explained the variety of strategies she was employing for my case. In the last few weeks and days leading up to court, she continued to refine and hone her case. During court, she made pivots when necessary to address opposing council and witness testimony. She remained professional in the face of opposing council who behaved very unprofessionally throughout from initial contact, through the day in court. Ultimately, Robin won my case…with no modification or termination of my original agreement. I’m forever grateful to Robin and highly recommend her services!

Robin Beattie...best Lawyer for family law. I never had to retain her. I "consulted" with her about 4-5 times over a couple years on how to proceed with my ex. She didn't want me to waste my funds because she knew I was a single parent only receiving $150/month child support. She didn't just teach me the law and help me represent myself to the courts, she taught me how to speak and present myself in a way the courts will listen. She helped me to stand strong and keep fighting for my girls. Which I did. In the end I had a Decision Maker dismissed, a Child Investigation Report thrown out that stated they should live with their Dad and, the best part, standing up to a narcissistic and abusive person defeated him and he signed over full custody with the snap of my fingers. I'm a shark because of her. I not only won against the ex and the courts, I carried all of the skills I learned from her into my business and day to day life. I might not be a lawyer, but I sure do know the law better than I did. The most important lesson I learned through my time with Robin was that the courts do not care about how you feel. Not at all. They care about the law so you have to speak to them like you're a law book.

When one goes through a divorce, it's easy to let one's emotions drive the train. Robin managed to be completely empathetic to my feelings while still keeping things in perspective as to what ultimately mattered. I think a lot of attorneys stay detached so they can stay professional, or they get too emotionally involved in their clients situation. I'll scenarios are completely understandable in my opinion , but Robin does neither. She's warm yet professional. I can't recommend her highly enough

I hired John Sylvester two years ago while I was going through several issues in my family law case. To date, he has helped me resolve every single one of those issues in my favor. His professionalism and knowledge of the law is second to none. He was always responsive when I had questions. He helped me understand how everything worked, from RFOs, to subpoenas, to trial litigation. John always had a plan, and he was always prepared. He was able to take all the information I gave him and make sense of it all. John never pushed me to spend more money and Rebecca the co-owner was kind enough to work out the financial aspects of my bills with me. I consider myself fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with John, and I have already recommended him to friends and family who want the best family attorney in San Diego.

If you're considering hiring John, proceed with Confidence! John is a fantastic lawyer. I recently had an issue that required 4 lawyers across 2 states and John was by far the best of all of them.
Not only is his knowledge of the law and the court's procedural processes unparalleled but his level of detail, "bedside manner," and investment of time to make sure you're prepared and updated make him a delight to work with.
I cannot recommend John highly enough to do him justice for the experience and effort he'll bring to your case. My recommendation: proceed with confidence!

John is a top tier attorney all around. He is an excellent advocate and has in-depth knowledge of family law issues. He is also excellent in court. I found him to be very persuasive, well-prepared, organized, and detailed oriented. He is kind, professional, and fair with billing. He was honest with me when I was faced with a hard litigation decision and never took advantage of me for additional fees. I highly recommend John if you need an attorney who is honest and compassionate, well-versed in family law, and excels in the courtroom.

Divorce attorney Wendy Hausmann took over my case with a high level of professionalism and integrity. She explained all the legal aspects in detail and she was up front with me from the beginning about my chances, legal options, time expected, possible outcomes, and legal fees. Ms. Hausmann was a true professional every step of the way and always responded to all my phone calls in a timely manner and answered all the questions I had. In addition, she was always well prepared and performed extremely well in the courtroom. I will retain her services in the future, if needed, and recommend her without reservation.”

After reading another great legal answer from Attorney Routledge here on Avvo, I came today to write a review thanking her. Then I saw another similar recent review (from July 2023) saying many of the things I would say; I would recommend you read that review, if available, from July 28, 2023- I fully agree with the author's feedback.
But as for me, I am a paralegal helping my wife with a custody case, as we previously had a disastrous experience with an attorney (someone with a family law "specialist" designation, no less). With that person, we expended significant amounts of money to not only fail in our case but also to largely receive far less valuable insights and good information than received just from reading Attorney Routledge's detailed responses, including her feedback to a handful of our questions.
Based on her thoughtful responses here on Avvo alone it is clear that Attorney Routledge cares about helping people and that she is VERY good at what she does. She is a true family law specialist, someone we would absolutely be happy to be represented by if we were in her geographical area. I would also recommend anyone call her for a consult, if she has time, to clarify issues and get insights for hiring someone in your area. We definitely plan to do this.
Like I said, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND talking to Attorney Routledge; I was self-educated on the family law process the first time my wife went to trial (including after hiring an attorney) and then got my paralegal certification as a result. And I can say Attorney Routledge's answers could serve as a Family Law class in and of themselves.

I hired Christina’s law firm to represent me during my divorce. I was hesitant to file due to a lot of fears and unknowns. She was patient and professional with me. Never pushed me to make any decisions I wasn’t comfortable with. She was supportive and informative. The entire process was daunting yet she never failed to keep me in the loop. Christina and her team made me feel comfortable, seen, and heard. She was very knowledgeable in family law and took the time to make sure I understood everything that was happening before any decisions were made. I never felt rushed or under pressure with her. All the fears that were drilled into my head about “lawyers” were completely abolished working with Christina and Adia. To say I was impressed would be an understatement. I would highly recommend this firm to any woman or mother trying to find their way to freedom! I am forever grateful!

Christina handled my divorce and subsequent custody issues quickly and efficiently. She and her team were always available when needed, and were clear in all communications. She even identified some issues with opposing counsel's paperwork that could've made things very difficult for me down the line. Her no-nonsense approach ensures that she makes the best use of your time and money, and she doesn't cower when opposing counsel becomes aggressive.
Christina's knowledge and advice are invaluable, and I owe her much more that I could ever say. Ever the professional, she requires a lot from her clients with regard to documentation and doing things the right way, but it pays off since you know that your arguments will be presented in the best possible light. She doesn't come cheap, but she's worth every cent.

From the very beginning, Ravi and Lexi demonstrated their dedication and professionalism towards my case. They took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and provided me with all the information I needed to make informed decisions throughout the process. Their knowledge and expertise in family law were evident and provided me with a sense of comfort and reassurance during a difficult time.
Ravi and Lexi were both incredibly responsive and communicative, always keeping me updated on the progress of my case and answering any questions I had in a timely and professional manner. They were always available to me and made me feel like a top priority, which is something that I deeply appreciated.
What impressed me the most about Ravi and Lexi was their willingness to go above and beyond for me. They worked tirelessly on my case, leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of a favorable outcome. They were strategic in their approach and worked diligently to ensure that my best interests were always at the forefront of their efforts.
Thanks to Ravi and Lexi's hard work and dedication, my family law matter was resolved successfully, and I could not be happier with the outcome. I am truly grateful for their unwavering support and guidance throughout this challenging time. I would highly recommend Ravi Parmar and Lexi Corrales to anyone seeking legal representation in family law matters.

I can't thank him enough. He is incredible and helped resolve a 12 year custody issue. My case was a complete mess before Ravi got ahold of it. I saw for myself the reasons why he has such amazing reviews. He is straight forward, professional, and understanding. He was very thorough in looking at the history of my case. His services are worth every single dollar and then some. He was able to help my son have a path to a better, safer, and brighter future.

Mr. Parmar is one of the people I respect most in my life. He gives it to you straight, tells the truth wether you like it or not. An ethical attorney with all the fierceness you need to keep you well grounded and focused on your goal. I am a good father who is facing an unreasonable X who tried to keep our children away from their Dad. Mr. Parmar gave me some hard advice to follow but I did. Surely enough, because I trusted this man, three little angels have their father back. Trust this man. Mr. Parmar. He will help you overcome anything your spiteful X will try against you. Much respect and admiration. I faced false accusations, lies and manipulation. Mr. Parmar used his experience and knowledge of the law to have the opposition discredited completely! I was amazed and inspired. Highly Recommend this attorney.

Tanis is an excellent family attorney. I was looking for an honest and professional attorney to apply for a guardianship to my youngest sister and when I saw her profile online I felt that she I can trust.

Joseph and his team are incredible. I was dealing with a long distance divorce/custody case, with homeschooled children. I'd had a couple of attorneys, only one of whom actually helped, but then things seemed to fall apart. I needed to make some changes because my children were not doing well.
Our plan hadn't been finalized yet, so time was of the essence.
A few other mommas, in a similar situation, recommended Joe. I consulted with a few attorneys, but none of them were willing to really listen. All of them left me feeling hopeless and very triggered. After years of psychological and emotional abuse, I wasn't in a place to be able to handle those types of attorneys.
Joe was different. He was careful, calm, kind, and compassionate, but still straightforward with no b.s. I felt safe. I think that's what all of us want, really. Joe stayed in communication with me. He didn't leave me hanging. He kept me informed, answered every question, and was patient through all of it. He didn't yell at me (yeah, that has happened before). He helped me see things that needed to be seen and understand from better perspectives.
It was a bonus that we saw eye to eye on some things and I didn't feel like I had to defend myself to him.
We were able to come up with a new plan that kept the children's best interests as the top priority and avoid going to trial.
I'm truly grateful and blessed. God put him in my path right when I needed it most.
I have given his information to several mommas who are in need of help, and will continue to do so.

I originally retained an attorney that came highly recommended from other attorneys in the area. After retaining this attorney, it proved to be the wrong decision due to unresponsiveness and disinterest in my case. I then found Matt Lun through avvo and it could not have been a better experience. Mr. Lun is intelligent and extremely well versed at navigating the divorce process. I felt he was cognizant on client billing and was never overzealous to do something just for the billable hours. A very professional and knowledgeable legal counselor, yet also easy to talk to on a personal level. He provided options on how to proceed during matters, offering the positives and negatives that could impact my decisions. Well worth considering for your family law matters.

I interviewed 6 attorneys before a friend referred me to Matthew and I am so glad I found him. His paralegal is great as well, and really knows her stuff. Perhaps the most important thing I can say is that they really seem to care. I could see that Matthew truly wanted me to get the outcome I deserved, and he made sure my divorce was done right.

I interviewed 4 lawyers before deciding to go with Matt. I am so happy I did. He listened to everything I wanted and if it was possible, he got it for me. He was also honest when he thought it wasn’t a great idea. He’s responsive and contacted me on weekends and even from his vacation! I give his name to anyone who is looking for a lawyer. And his rates are so very reasonable. My divorce was not overly complicated but he had to deal with two very angry people with a child involved. He knows how to calm the room and I can tell he is highly respected among his peers. Thank you, Matt for all of your help!

I've had the unfortunate need to use Ms. Etcheverry a handful of times over the last decade or so. My cases have ranged from Dissolution of Marriage to Custody and Abandonment. Ms. Etcheverry has exceeded my expectations every time. Her staff is friendly, compassionate and understand how to deal with a client who is going through some of the toughest situations in their life. Ms. Etcheverry is outstanding in Court and is not scared to take your case to Trial if necessary. I cannot recommend her enough! I would not waste time with another consultation, this is the Attorney you need.

After watching Ms. Etcheverry in court, I changed lawyers and hired her in the middle of my divorce. Best decision I ever made. She's worth every penny that I paid, plus more.

I retained Mr. Ricci during a very challenging time when I was divorcing. With all the various factors that were entangled in my case, Mr. Ricci navigated me through the journey with fair resolution. Communication was clear and answered my inquiries in a timely matter. One of the striking points that Mr. Ricci provided during my divorce was how he was able to separate emotions from the law. His services did not stop when my divorce was final which was greatly appreciated.

I hired Bob to help me execute one of the most difficult and important decisions of my life. I can honestly say Bob is a lawyer who really cares about what he does and his clients. He took the time to fully understand every aspect of my case and represented me much better than I would have ever expected. He was always there when I needed him and advised me against doing many things that would have resulted in an unnecessary expense. I would recommend Bob to anyone who is looking for a good, honest, and caring lawyer.

I hired Robert Ricci to represent me in a Child Custody case recently. The nature of the case with the defendant was very sensitive and emotional to say the least. Robert has been nothing less than attentive to my concerns, legal needs and emotional state of mind. He has been responsive to every call or email that was transmitted to his office. He offered legal advice that was both in keeping with the laws and taking into account my emotional state of mind. Both Robert and his paralegal, were very attentive and professional during this entire journey. Robert listen and this is a notably characteristic in an Attorney. Robert, was proactive and present. He had the respect of the court and the judge. Robert has successful provided me with professional service that yielded a favorable outcome to me. I highly recommend Robert Ricci Jr and his Paralegal to anyone that has a family matter and is in need of an attorney, that is knowledgeable in the law, one that listens, is empathetic, and knows how to address the court to bring about favorable results to their given circumstance. Robert also worked with me financially in allowing me to afford him while at the same time not compromising his professional service to me. Thank you Robert.

Marshall Willick represented me in my child custody case. And he did an incredible job I seriously could not ask for a better lawyer. I had a huge hiccup with my previous one, and let's just say they really dropped the ball. I was actually refereed to Willicks office from my aunt that lives in Chicago from her lawyer. I had a consultation with them and I already felt 100xs better just by explaining my situation. If you want a lawyer that will definitely have your back and is willingbto bat for you Willick is the way! I could not be more pleased on how the outcome came out! Thank you again to all Willick and employees.

Marshal Willick, wow…just so amazing! I don’t know 5 stars can cut it on my feelings for how well I feel Marshal handled my case. He exceeded my expectations!
I highly recommend Marshal and all the legal staff at the Willick Law Group. I hired them to assist me in a complicated family matter and they were simply amazing in their handling of my case. The paralegals are so knowledgeable too and the team approach they utilized was paramount in the success of my case. I wish, I had hired them to handle my legal case initially, as I feel so doing, I would have likely saved money. They will use their expertise to help the courts see the truth from the get-go, which is so important-so your ex can not use the courts to create legal issues that cost you dearly financially years after the fact. The latter is so important when leaving a toxic situation, in hopes of the start of a new life.
Further, I found the Willick Firm to be very compassionate. I felt they cared about my case and they were very mindful of their billing, without compromising quality. I only began to sleep well, once they took over and I knew my case was in the hands of some of the best legal minds in the country. I highly recommend Marshal and the Willick Firm.

I am an immigration attorney in Sacramento, California and needed a legal opinion letter from an attorney in Nevada specializing in family law. The issues were very complex and Marshal provided excellent service and work product. We had a short deadline, and Marshal worked on the weekend to get the opinion letter completed. He even went above and beyond and completed additional research outside the scope of services in order to help my client. I was very impressed working with Marshal and his staff and highly recommend their office.

For those of us who are unfortunate to have to go through a divorce will be pushed to our limits and beyond. We often forget why it has come to this and lash out at those who are near to us and those whom we have hired to help us. A divorce will bring out the worst of some of the parties involved. With this being said I would like to give a very special “Thank You” to Emily Vance who represented me during my dissolution process. Emily had to deal with some very over dramatic people and uncalled for remarks and lack of cooperation from the other side which kept her very busy. Emily was very professional in dealing with these issues while staying in contact with me and keeping me up to date with the progress. Emily and I had met on numerous occasions to discuss our next move and this also required a lot of patience on my part. There was some time she had taken off which she had notified me months in advance so there was no confusion. I will say that I highly recommend Emily Vance @Emily Vance

I have had experience with other family law attorneys, but I can say that John's firm is the best of the bunch. I felt I was getting a whole team to help me. I felt that I was not just a person to bill, but a real person who they cared about. I strongly recommend John and his firm to anyone that needs help.

I consulted with John initially, and thought I couldn’t afford him. To my dismay, I retained another lawyer who was decent but didn’t safeguard issues the way John had outlined in our initial consultation. Unfortunately, due to lack of prevention in my initial trial proceedings, another motion was filed against me, and I then retained his services. I spent over $10k from not utilizing his advice and suggestions. I could have spent less than half of that, if I would have retained him the first time. I cannot promise you that he can save the world; but he will advise you appropriately. He will not let you indulge in the abyss of desire that will never come to fruition. He and his associate, Tom, were up front and honest about what to expect and predict. I’m pleased with his practice and services. He’s reasonable and down to earth. If you need answers to simple questions, subscribe to his YouTube Channel or newsletter. I learned the best way to save money, is to go to him prepared with your documents organized. He’ll handle the rest.

I would highly recommend this law firm. John and Tom went above and beyond to assure that my voice was heard but more importantly they made me feel safe during my entire court proceedings with my ex-husband. That is priceless. For the first time in 30 years they gave me the courage to stand up to my ex. I am extremely happy with the outcome of my case and highly recommend them.

This has only part to do with stacey, It's the review of the firm to date. (I'll update once all is over)
I'm currently usuing Right lawyers for a child custody case.
I'm a stay at home mom, and my husband is active military,. We live outside the jurisdiction of nevada, but my case is being held there. So I hired RIGHT LAWYERS because of the positive military review.
I have had two retainers. One in which was smooth, informative, knowledgeable, and kept me up to date on all decisions made with approval on my behalf. (Laura) Nothing was done unless it was ran and throughly discussed by/with me (as law intends). I FULLY enjoyed the service. I paid 3,500$ and I felt it was well spent for everything Laura did. (She spoke a language I could understand, let me know I hired her to do a job, and my goals and intrest were top priority. She had an open line of communication and understood these cases can be very stressful and draining. She kept me informed EVERY step of the way. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that.
Then theres the new retainer.... (theres a previous 1 star review on here, and I'm experiencing the EXACT same things although I've agreed to pay the money asked of me)
The military community has even come together to help fundraise for my cause for "keeping military family's together" both in vegas in alaska. So that my family doesnt go without the basics. ( we sold most our belongings to meet the needs of our case financially and have been recognized for our efforts) All I am asking is for RIGHT LAWYERS to do is the services I've agreed to pay with my families best interest in mind. Without threats that would cause undue hardship, pressure, and unusual demands.
I am a mom, spouse, human, volunteer, & daughter. I'm 24 years old and I did not ask to be put in this situation, but you've agreed to help me get thorugh it. My voice is important.

My sister, who is an attorney in another state, researched divorce lawyers in MN to help me move forward with this painful process -- Margaux and Lisa were her top choice for a lot of reasons, and I've been so grateful to have them in my corner! They work great as a team, and I always felt like a priority even though my case was surely not the biggest or most complicated. What I especially appreciated was Margaux' combination of experience, calm, toughness, and sense of humor, all of which drained my stress every time we communicated. The process went much better than I expected because I listened to them, and my ex and I are able to move forward now and in focus on the kids and being happy in our own lives. A million thanks!

Margaux is very knowledgeable, responsive and I can not recommend her and her staff enough. I had a very complicated situation due to a contentious ex and I was living out of state. Margaux was able to navigate to the best resolution possible. She is very knowledgeable in related case law and statues that are relevant and wins points when recalling details of the cases to use. Margaux was always reachable, even during emergency situations that came up during "off duty" time. I was impressed with her passion, dedicated and professionalism.
