Miss Monti helped me through a divorce and definitely made a very difficult situation bearable. She knows all the ins and outs of the process and told me (very accurately) what would likely occur. It is unfortunate that the situation occurred, but fortunately I had Miss Monti to get me through it.

Monti, was my attorney for my divorce; my child’s adoption and my husband’s GAL. She did an amazing job on all three. She has impeccable knowledge of the law,. She also showed such compassion towards my husband during his court hearing. She is all the way around a wonderful person and attorney! I would recommend her to anyone in need of legal counsel.

I hired Mrs. Monti to help me with my case and I definitely got my money's worth. Easy to communicate with, even with me living out of state. Very knowledgeable on the law and how it works best for me as a father who wants the most time I can get with my son. She kept me updated every step of the way. She is not affraid to go head up with the "in town" lawyers that know everyone. I would recommend her 1000 to none, any day to anyone. Thank you Mrs. Monti

When a sudden death in our family threw us into the most traumatic experience of our lives, we were blessed to find Michelle to represent us in the very difficult task of establishing the guardianship of a minor child and seeing her estate through to distribution. She and her entire team walked us through this daunting journey with extreme knowledge, experience and confidence combined with compassion, caring and sensitivity for our situation. They were always available and took the time to explain each step and put our minds at ease. We felt as if they were fighting for their own family. Michelle secured an excellent outcome out of a very long struggle. We are forever grateful.

There is nothing worse than having one of your children precede you in death. When my daughter died she wanted me to be her personal representative in the execution of her will; Wendy made the complicated process easy and seamless for me. After I was discharged as personal representative once everything was completed I found other assets belonging to my daughter and I did not hesitate to hire Wendy for a second time. I consider Wendy as my personal lawyer and always will.

The only regret I have is that I did not go with Sekella Law sooner. I used another attorney first time around and it was night and day once I signed on with Heather. As a father I felt my side was not taken seriously with the first ruling, but that all changed with Heather. My son is with me which is what he has been wanting for over three years.

I reached out to Heather regarding a fairly complicated post-divorce, post-alimony dispute related to health insurance coverage for my ex-spouse. After an initial consultation where she educated me as to the uniqueness of my situation, she described a path forward that would provide closure. Though the issue took over a year to resolve (due mostly to the pandemic) I felt that Heather was attentive to my needs and generally cost-conscious in her approach. In the end things went against me financially which, while unfortunate, was always a possibility. However she did achieve my primary goal of finality without having to go through a trial, so overall I was satisfied which the approach Heather took.

If not for Jeremy Piggott, I am sure I would still have squatters living in my home. After two months of excuses why rent was not paid and yet they could not move out, my property manager suggested I call Piggott, Piggott & Kearce. From my first phone call, I knew this practice was professional, serious, efficient, and would get the job done. In fact, Jeremy was on vacation, but he called me within an hour. In 30 minutes, we had a plan. He sent the first document right after we hung up. Jeremy checked in with me several more times during his vacation. I knew exactly what was supposed to happen at every stage, and it did, exactly when it said it would. The delivery and follow-up of several documents resulted in the tenants vacating in less than three weeks after my first phone call to Piggott, Piggott & Kearce. I hope I never have to do this again, but if do, or if anyone I know has an issue with tenants, this is only firm I would use or recommend.

I interviewed dozens of lawyers, and I hired one who was soothing but turned out to be incompetent. She was not only a waste of money, she left me hanging with a trial date that was approaching fast. I had to scramble and thank God Sean was willing to take my case. He does not sugar coat anything. He's extremely professional, organized, competent and honest. He does his homework, talks through all aspects of your case, writes briefs well, prepares you thoroughly for trial, and speaks in court with authority.

My divorce started with a different attorney. A firm I will not name here who honestly took a great deal of my money with very little oversight. I received a referral to Sean and I'm so glad I made the switch. You can't prepare for divorce so I was blind sided and hadn't done my research. I wish I had started my divorce with Sean as my attorney. He listed to me and was able to see my side and advocate what was best for me and my daughter. I will forever be thankful to him in remembering all the details of my case. We didn't have to rehash everything every time we met. Sean was so efficient every time we met and also very sincere. He made himself available and he always gave me both sides of an argument and he prepared me every step of the way. I settled my divorce and child custody case with my ex-husband and I feel that it was fair. I wasted so much money in the beginning by not using an attorney such as Sean. I can't tell you how rare he is and I'm so grateful for the time and service he provided.

I am an attorney and am familiar with litigation. I retained an attorney to file a divorce proceeding, and that attorney did nothing but bill me for work that did not move the case forward. Fed up, I was referred to Sean Patrick Joyce. What a breath of fresh air. Mr. Joyce took immediate action, was a great communicator, and effectively utilized his terrific paralegal. In a matter of weeks, Mr. Joyce resolved issues, moved the case forward and obtained a stipulated judgment for me. During the time period that I worked with Mr. Joyce, and his paralegal, all of my questions were quickly resolved with an eye towards resolution and cost effectiveness. Mr. Joyce is direct, honest and a real problem solver. I would highly recommend his firm.

I have been involved in a contentious custody dispute with my daughters father. We were never married. My daughter is 8 years old now. Several years ago the court awarded sole legal and physical custody to me based upon substantiated findings of domestic violence. Recently, my daughters father filed a motion for change of custody. The court appointed Randi Susan Klein as minors counsel to represent the best interest of my daughter. Ms. Klein interviewed my daughter, myself and her father privately. She read through documents in the court file, as well as other pleadings my lawyer sent to her. When we arrived in court, I had no idea what her recommendation was going to be. Ms. Klein recommended in my favor. She explained to the Judge, step by step, why my daughter should remain in my custody. While she was talking, the judge was carefully listening to her. He was shaking his head in agreement. As a result of Ms. Klein's hard work and presentation, the judge dismissed the fathers motion. I was so relieved that I cried tears of joy. Ms. Klein was a very strong voice for my child and she was well prepared. I am so grateful that the court appointed her to be my daughters lawyer.

My daughter is involved in a contentious custody battle with her child's father.  Her daughter, my grand-daughter, is 8 years old. There was a court hearing this morning. I went with my daughter to court this morning to support her.   When my grand daughter was very young, her father beat my daughter and threatened to take my grand daughter away from her. My grand daughter witnessed the beatings. My grand daughter is still in therapy sorting out how this affected her.  The father also prevented me from seeing my grand daughter until she was 9 months old.  Eventually my daughter got civil and criminal restraining orders against the father. Now he is only allowed supervised visits. Recently the father filed a motion for change of custody. The court appointed Randi Susan Klein as minors counsel to represent my grand daughter. Today was the hearing for the court to rule on the father's motion. Ms. Klein was a very strong advocate for my grand daughter. She explained to the court, in a very logical and passionate way, why my granddaughter should remain in my daughter's custody.  Neither my daughter nor myself knew, ahead of time, what Ms. Klein would be recommending to the court. She was eloquent. She understood both the legal and the emotional issues and explained how that impacted our family. I cried when I listed to her in court. The court dismissed the father's motion for a change of custody. I am very relieved and very grateful to Ms. Klein. Because of her hard work and commitment, my granddaughter will continue to be safe and to get the professional help that she needs.  Ms. Klein was amazing & did a Great job, I Highly recommend her for anyone seeking Minors Counsel, she is the Best !!!

I interned at Barnes Law Group when I thought that I wanted to be a Family Law attorney. While interning at the office I got to witness firsthand the internal workings, their services, and their staff. I can tell you that this staff puts a tremendous amount of work, attention, and strategy behind everything they do. Communications about clients’ cases, the weaknesses and how to better posture the case occupied most of the internal conversations amongst the people working there. This law office is extremely customer service oriented. During my tenure, I witnessed them win every case. It really was amazing. But I also saw the amount of work it took, the frequency with which the attorneys prioritized their clients over their personal life and the strain of representing people who are in personal crisis. I ultimately decided that I wanted a better work life balance. Whenever anyone needs a Family Lawyer, I recommend Barnes Law Group, they are great people. I know from working there that they are honest, smart, and devoted to achieving their clients’ goals. They are also down to earth and easy to talk to.

A woman I hadn't seen in years tried to collect child support monies from me for a kid that wasn't mine. I hadn't spoken to the woman in years. My girlfriend said I urgently needed an attorney. I contacted Attorney Barnes who explained how my wages could be garnished and I could even be put in jail for nonpayment of child support if I don't dna test and prove I am not the father. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, but after she showed me the law, I took the test and proved I wasn't the father. I'm glad I followed Attorney Barnes advice and left crazy in the rear view mirror. Highly recommend this attorney and firm.

I could not be happier with the service I received from Attorney Carol Barnes and Barnes Law Group. Everyone at Barnes Law Group was able to answer my questions when I called. When I sent an email, I always received an answer on the same day and most emails were answered within the hour. When I first spoke with Attorney Barnes, she outlined a strategy for handling my case. My case was handled successfully, and as Attorney Barnes had originally discussed. I received a bill each month for the work that was done on my case and the bills reflected the strategy originally agreed to. Ultimately, Attorney Barnes was able to settle the case without us having to go to trial. While I was relieved that we did not go to trial, I am confident that we would have won if we did. I was very scared when I first retained Barnes Law Group. What I appreciated most was Attorney Barnes laid out the strategy and the law for me in writing at the very beginning so I could look at it whenever I became anxious and was able to relax and know that the facts and the law were on my side. I recommend Barnes Law Group to all the moms out there who need a competent and aggressive attorney.

Getting divorced is never easy, but with a lawyer like David Gabriel by your side, it can be swift and painless. As an attorney myself, I know how difficult it can be to work with high-maintenance clients, but David has the patience of a saint and answered all of my calls, texts, and questions along the way. His communication was exceptional, far surpassing my expectations. When it came down to the terms of divorce, custody issues and child support, David’s experience in this field was invaluable. Issues like child support and alimony will impact a household for many years after a divorce is finalized, and David had the foresight to prepare for my future both financially and with regard child custody issues. He negotiated tirelessly with opposing counsel and completed my divorce, from filing to finalization, in less than one year. Thank you, David!!

When I was looking for someone to help me with my legal matters, I talked to several top-notch lawyers. Each had their strengths, but none seemed very impressive. However, everything changed when I had a case evaluation with Michael. After talking with him for a while, I realized he was different. He knew more about the laws than the others did. He carefully listened to what I was going through and gave me clear advice. It was like he had a detailed map of the law in his head and could quickly guide me on the right path using his experience and brilliance. Michael is very familiar with laws, and the way he applies his knowledge is remarkable. What stood out to me was how kind and attentive Michael was. While other lawyers seemed busy or distracted, Michael gave me his full attention every time we talked. It felt like he treated my problems as if they were his own. He wasn't just doing his job; he genuinely wanted to help. Lawyers sometimes use sneaky tactics, especially in divorce cases. But not Michael. He was always upfront with me. He is very honest, and I think this earns him a lot of respect in court. Because of his honesty and good reputation, people in courtrooms pay attention when he speaks. I also discovered that he's well-known in the legal community, and many lawyers in Massachusetts recognize Michael. He's not just famous; other lawyers genuinely respect him. I learned that he has led many lawyer gatherings, helping others to grow in their profession. That tells you just how good he is. If you're in Massachusetts and need a lawyer who is brilliant, knowledgeable, and genuine, I'd strongly recommend Michael Flores and his team. He's not just highly knowledgeable but is also dedicated to assisting his clients to the best of his ability.

Attorney Michael Dexter Florez is the talk amongst the law firms he is known for his street appearance but don't let that change your mind about him. He is aggressive in the court room and has been the first attorney ever in Red Bluff California to have just graduated law school and Hired on and have already gotten 5 cases dismissed and overturned. He has made history. He was born in Fresno California, enlisted in the Marines served 13 years and got out owning his own business being placed in Forbes magazine's Top 10 successful business owners, and graduated from Stanford Law School as top 3 in class and passing the bar the first time with flying colors. What a story to tell...Cohen law Group has been placed in the top 4 as successful Law Firm's of the year ever since Attorney Florez was brought on. He has a high list of clients wanting him to represent them. Their is rumor that Warner Bros Studio wants to come out and interview Attorney Florez for a make of a Movie about his life, And to top it off Medal of Honor Recipient for his Braveness and saving 8 of his fellow Marines in a hour fire fight to get all on the helicopter and be left to fight and hold off the insurgents to get his Marines safely out. Amazing to have a true hero ...Thank you for your hard work and service.

I began my divorce in the summer, and Eilish M. McLoughlin (a partner of the firm) took on my case after a consultation. Eilish and her team were nothing short of excellent. She was friendly, accommodating, and answered all of my questions during our one-on-ones. In court, Eilish didn’t mince words and had a laser focus while maintaining a high level of professionalism. She was also very clear with her expectations and timely with all responses - there were no surprises during the process. The entire team at Moskowitz is wonderful, and they make you feel as comfortable as you can be during a divorce proceeding. I highly recommend the firm if you’re seeking representation in a divorce!

WON my case. I absolutely LOVED working with Jane the whole process through. Jane is a truly amazing professional who will fight for you as hard as she can. Jane is very honest in her dialogue, and is constantly in communication with you. She is willing to discuss your case in-person (with COVID safety precautions), via Zoom, email, or over the phone, and always returned my calls promptly. The process for me was quick, effective, affordable and was very consistent with what she initially predicted a settlement would look like. I highly recommend this firm for any one who is facing educational issues. Jane is an excellent attorney who fought hard for me. Again I gladly recommend Windsor Law, LLC

I prefer to not lay out all the details as they are personal to my son BUT I can tell you this: in the end, Jane got the job done. I walked away with the results I wanted. What more could I possibly ask for? I’m continuously grateful because with the end all result being exactly what I wanted it put us where we are today!

Michael Chapski represented me over the last 18 months in dealing with the aftermath of a long separation and challenging divorce. From the time Michael accepted my case, I knew I was in capable hands. I was referred to Michael through another respected attorney in town because of his knowledge, track record of success, compassion and respect in the legal community. From the beginning, Michael was my voice in the courtroom. He worked closely with me on strategy so we could avoid trial and negotiate a fair settlement. He was extremely attentive and provided email responses and court updates within 24 hours. On the final day of prove up, I was proud to walk into that courtroom with Michael by my side. He absolutely commands the respect of the court with his professionalism and legal knowledge. Through his compassion, professionalism and just pure kindness, Michael made this journey for me bearable. I will forever be grateful to Michael and his firm.

I'd highly recommend Mike for anyone entering the divorce process. He's extremely knowledgeable of the law, always quick to respond, can be tough when he needs to be, but also serves to keep his cool in what can be some emotional circumstances. I was referred to Mike by a friend, also an attorney, who had known him for many years, and advised that he liked, trusted, and respected Mike. And, after working with Mike through the weeds of the divorce process, I can say that my friend's referral was truly justified. Mike's a very good attorney and a very good man.

I can't begin to state enough positive things about Mike. My divorce was extremely contentious. My ex-wife lost her custodial parenting rights. She was not even awarded court supervised visits with my children. My ex went through three attorneys, while Mike continued to be a stabilizing influence, advocate and voice of reason through the most difficult time in my life. Mike immediately responded to calls, messages and even texts. He was very open, honest and did not present false, or unlikely outcomes. Quite honestly, Mike is very much a person who over delivers. We had a terrible Guardian ad litem assigned to my divorce. The GAL was absolutely determined to have the kids remain with their mother, even though she was the perpetrator of unspeakable child abuse. Mike managed this issue in a wonderful manner, assured the kids were well protected and that I was well represented. Mike's rates are fair. There is absolutely no over billing. I highly recommend Mike! Also, the staff at Chapski Law was always kind and very responsive. All very good people to work with!

I'm very thankful that a good friend of mine referred me to Family First Legal Group a few years back when I made the difficult decision to get divorced. The law firm took a team approach and while most of my case was expertly handled by Terry DeSalvo Jr, along with his efficient paralegal Michelle Wilson, I was also helped on a number of occasions by Alex Peterson. My case primarily focused on child custody and Terry did a fantastic job implementing an aggressive strategy to uncover and document my ex's issues. I'm so thankful to report that after a long and drawn-out legal battle, I was granted full custody of my kids. While some may consider the legal fees for a challenging divorce like mine to be expensive, I believe that the services offered by Family First Legal Group were worth every penny. I have peace of mind every night when I put my kids to bed knowing that they are safe and that is priceless. Going through a divorce is an emotional rollercoaster but Terry and Alex offered sound legal advice throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this law firm!

Jamie represented my family for our adoption in Pinal County. It had been a rocky few years to get to that point, and when it came time for the adoption to happen, we were in the middle of the pandemic and our hearts were broken, that it was going to happen over the phone. She and her staff arranged to do the adoption via Zoom, and we got to see the Judge and her in person. It was very thoughtful, and meant a lot to our family! She provided us with a packet of forms, and realistic time frames for how to get things done after the adoption was final, and even help fix the mistakes the court made when they misplaced some of our paperwork. I would recommend her and her friendly staff to anyone looking for an ally in this difficult process!

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:

    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.
