Amanda Knight proved to be all I could hope for and more in obtaining an absolute divorce. With a selfless background in pro bono and legal aid services, she calmly and compassionately applied her expertise with sensitivity to all parties, keeping me informed every step of the way. She has earned my gratitude and unqualified endorsement, clearly deserving of her multi-year Rising Stars rating by SuperLawyers.com.

If you are looking for a divorce attorney, I highly recommend Amanda Knight. She is knowledgeable, experienced and really efficient with her time. She made herself available to me whenever I had questions or wanted to discuss details about the divorce. She understands that divorce is challenging for those going through it and treated me with kindness and respect. There were also a couple of uncommon circumstances in my case, including possession of a dog, that she was able to easily handle. Again, I highly recommend her.

I would highly recommend Anna Teller for all your legal needs. She was very considerate of my situation and guided me through the divorce process. I especially liked how the firm handle my case and suggested options to minimize legal costs. Anna dealt very patiently with me and I never felt I was being rushed into making decisions. I was quite pleased with the final outcome and overall experience with the firm. Highly recommended.

When I walked into the Teller Law Firm, I was made to feel very comfortable. They were patient while I explained my situation and very compassionate. They explained the possibilities and processes and helped me make a decision. They also explained the costs and how things would be handled. Anna Teller was very competent and fair. She helped me achieve the divorce and remain fair and equitable with my husband. She stayed with me the whole time and made me feel comfortable and confidant I had done the right thing. The entire staff is courteous and friendly. Whenever I called, they were more than willing to talk and explain things. I would and will recommend the Teller Law Firm to anyone I know that needs this service.

After hiring an attorney I had known for a very long time who almost immediately became ill after taking my case, and then being passed along to another attorney in the same firm who was not providing me with the level of representation I was seeking, I decided to research family law attorney bios and their reviews. I then decided to hire Dale as my advocate after dismissing my former attorney. Dale immediately demonstrated a level of knowledge, capability, and empathy that was unsurpassed. When I first called her office to set up an initial consultation, I was even surprised that she answered her own phone directly. She immediately demonstrated compassion for my situation and moved quickly to take on my high conflict child custody case. She informed me of integral information that I had not received from my previous attorney and she also kept me informed of every action that I had to take, as well as every action she was going to take. She also gave me homework to do, so that she would not have to charge me as much for doing some of the work between herself and her staff, but then she still provided me discounts on my bills. Every time I met with Dale, it was evident to me that she was doing everything within her power to advocate for me. Her understanding of both family law and psychology made her an outstanding attorney who is like no other in her field. Dale is extremely professional, as she is attentive, kind, considerate, and a great listener with amazing ideas. While we unfortunately did not win our case, it was through no fault of hers because I was in a situation where many “cards” were stacked against me from beginning to end, especially a very non-responsive, biased, and unprofessional court appointed Guardian Ad Litem (GAL). While we knew it was going to be an uphill battle all the way, Dale never stopped trying to do her best for me. In summary, I don't believe I could have found a more caring advocate and attorney than Dale and those who worked with and for her at her law firm. If you want the best family law attorney, she is the best.

Mrs. Berrett, is by far the best lawyer to seek with any type of child custody, divorce or other related matters. I hired Mrs. Berrett from a personal friend referral, for my divorce and custody battle. Mrs. Berretts attention to detail and care and compassion for her job and the well being of her client far exceeds any other lawyer i have had the pleasure of working with. While she is nicknamed the Barracuda is because Mrs. Berrett is well known for being aggressive in and out of the courtroom representing the law! No doubt she is a bulldog and when she knows the law is not being adhered too she will fight extra hard to prove her point. I will say my case was a complex one with many moving parts, but together with her team at her practice we were able to prevail. You want the job done right the first time, then i highly recommend you give Mrs. Berrett a call ASAP

My MIL needed an updated will and asked us to go with her. We were really impressed with Mr. Knight, as he really took his time with us. He made sure she got what she wanted down on paper and had an answer for every question we could think up. I especially appreciated how he made a point to speak to her alone so he could be sure she was under absolutely no duress. He is fair, honest, knowledgeable, and affordable! In short, everything we were hoping for.

Kelly Vasta is reliable, knowledgeable. What makes her standing up from other lawyers? She will go above and beyond to get the best results. She will work with you and with prosecutor to get the best deal possible. And if prosecutor is not willing to work with you, she will find the way to get things accomplished anyway. She prevented my marriage, 10 years professional career and personal situation from being ruined. From supposly not defendable case ( according to lawyers),she made things happen that let me came out without any serious damage, and let me continue my professional career and future professional progress to be attainable.

I was impressed by her knowledge and understanding of custody law, and, with her guidance, my case was resolved to my great satisfaction.

We have a large family and some of our children have experienced marital issues with separation, custody, relocation requests, divorce and malicious accusations. In each instance we turned to Robert Sunshine for guidance and representation resulting in the best possible outcomes. Robert was able to assess each situation, advise our children on the best course of action, manage their expectations, calm their stress and deliver results. He always presented a calm façade in review; and then a high expertise and passion in the courtroom. We were amazed at how well prepared he was and how he anticipated even the remotest of possible topics that could have arisen. He always had supporting documentation available with him and rebuttal material available for each. Where possible, Robert tried to mitigate expenses, which acted to reassure us of his focus on the end result, rather than extending billing hours. Our family was comforted in the knowledge that Robert would provide the best representation possible and could not have been more pleased watching his work in the courtroom, especially when compared to the opposing counsel. In a few instances the judge actually took guidance from him. He was familiar with various jurisdictions and the nuances of each judge’s thinking. The end results were above anything we could have hoped for. The bottom line is that Robert under-promises and over achieves. We strongly recommend his services to anyone in need of marital representation.

I had a matrimony case that was stalled in the court system for nearly 10 years. After losing every major decision...I hired Mr. Sunshine to help me bring my case to a closure. Boy did I make the right decision. In a relatively short period of time...we were able to change momentum of the case and bring it to a successful closure. I can't thank Mr. Sunshine enough. We had our moments of butting heads a bit, but that's normal when two people roll up their sleeves and get to work. So knowledgeable about the law it is silly. Nothing gets by this professional. I hope you never need his professional services, but if you do .....don't walk to his office....RUN. It will be the best decision you ever make.

If you are dealing with a family matter, I highly recommend working with Tina Corr. Pricing: Tina Corr was fair and consistent with pricing. Her contract was straightforward and easy to read. Prices are reasonable and billing was explicitly spelled out ahead of time so no surprises. Personality: Tina Corr was wonderful to talk to. She gave me the truth even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear. She read everything I sent (and I mean read, not just received) and she responded mindfully to all of my concerns. Efficiency: Tina Corr was responsive (almost always within 24 hours via phone or email!) and efficient with paperwork. Everything was filed correctly on time if not early. I never felt like my lawyer left me hanging. Flexibility: Tina Corr was able to respond specifically to the unique needs and requests I had for my case. I think family cases can be nuanced and mine was no different. Tina Corr was able curate the work on her end to suit my specific circumstance. I attribute this to the fact that she's a good listener and perceptive; qualities that can be difficult to find in a lawyer.

I was filled with trust in Aziz Juraev and confidence in his professionalism from the very first consultation with him. This was the first lawyer, at the very first conversation with whom, I had a feeling of confidence in the outcome of the trial. And this despite the fact that he did not promise mountains of gold and did not persuade him to become his client. From the moment the contract was concluded until the judge made a decision, I never doubted my choice. Throughout my journey, Aziz and his team guided me in the best possible way. All documents were submitted on time. During consultations with Aziz and Alexander, I was able to imagine how the court hearing was going and how to behave at it, and I was able to believe that my case was not without hope for success. They instilled in me faith in the American justice system, which can accept even words without indisputable documentary evidence as an argument. All this is possible due to the fact that judges are people too and believe in humanity. At the trial itself, Aziz behaved like a true professional. I am very glad that I made the right choice by choosing Aziz Juraev as my lawyer. I am sincerely grateful to Aziz and his entire team.

I hired Taylor in April 2023, sharing with her that my top priority was securing the majority of the year with my children. From the beginning, Taylor was candid, telling me she couldn’t guarantee outcomes but that she would fight diligently for my case. I expressed my desire to avoid court, and thanks to Taylor’s expertise, we managed to settle everything through mediation, sparing me from ever stepping into a courtroom. My divorce was high conflict, and Taylor was a constant source of comfort. She showed remarkable patience, especially when my mother passed away just weeks before our first mediation session. Taylor compassionately offered to pause the proceedings, but respecting my wishes, she continued to push forward. Taylor’s dedication and diligence were evident as she fought to secure everything I deserved, from primary custody of my children to retaining the family home. Her strategic approach and unwavering support made all the difference. For anyone considering hiring an attorney, my advice is to be completely honest with them from start to finish. Integrity is crucial, and Taylor exemplified this every step of the way. She was worth every penny, delivering on every single request I had. Taylor’s tenacity and dedication to her clients are unparalleled. She fights for her clients like a Soldier on the battlefield. I have no regrets and complete respect for her work. Keep an eye on Taylor—she’s destined for great success!

My divorce could be categorized as ‘high-conflict’ because I was dealing with a ‘covert passive aggressive narcissist’ and at that time I did not fully understand what I was up against and the person I was really dealing with. From the beginning with Leigh Taylor and Taylor, I had their unwavering support and we worked as a team. I am extremely grateful to both for navigating me through an already tough situation made exponentially worse by former spouse's behavior and actions/inaction. Former spouse cycled through 3 attorneys - I consider myself fortunate to find these two from start to end. Leigh Taylor and Taylor bring extensive experience, are detail-oriented, timely and made sure the products put in front of the court were polished and ironclad. I have great respect for both and sincerely appreciate everything they did for me. Thank you!

I hired Taylor Oyaas in the summer of 2022 for ongoing post-divorce custody proceedings. I filed for divorce in 2011 and I've had a lawyer pass away, verbally abuse me, retire, and take a sabbatical. After my previous lawyer announced her sabbatical, I asked her point-blank, "Who are the best female family law lawyers in Memphis?" Without hesitation, she referred me to Leigh Taylor White and Taylor Oyaas. From my first consultation to our last phone call and every step in-between, they have demonstrated professionalism, empathy, expertise, determination, and a killer instinct. They have guided me through a challenging situation and every recommendation they have made has been spot-on. Taylor has spent extensive amounts of time researching precedent and not only making legal recommendations, but explaining why she made them and how they could potentially impact my case and my children. For the first time in 13 years, I am confident in my attorneys and believe these custody proceedings will finally be resolved. They have restored my faith in humanity and the legal profession and inspired me to leverage my experiences to try and help others in my position. My daughter is a junior in college and Leigh Taylor and Taylor have inspired her to pursue a career in family law because they have had such a powerful impact on her life. Hire this woman. Like another Taylor I'm a fan of, she is fearless.

He was so knowledgable and exuded such confidence on my case I couldn't help but feel reassured. If I had any questions or concerns it was so easy to get a hold of him or his amazing paralegal Rene.

If you are facing a divorce you are in good hands with HHG and Dzenana Delic. Susan did the Initial consultation and gave me great advice on the beginning, when my ex tried to take the kids. And how to fight a sole custody attempt. Then Dzenana Delic took over my case and I cannot really express how good of a job she did. She told me the truth and what would happen and what I needed to do. It was a long case that was conflict laden to say the least. When it came time to negotiate and settle the case is when I realized how great of a decision I made and how great Dzenana was at her job. We negotiated a great settlement and protected my rights as a single father. If you are facing an ugly divorce and you aren’t sure who to hire I can tell you that if you choose HHG and Dzenana Delic you will be in good hands. Dzenana always answered emails and followed up.

Hands down Susan Hais and Caitlin Keene are some of the best Divorce attorneys in St Louis. After going through 3 other attorneys in Jefferson Co and getting the shaft from all of them, my case was a complete joke. I found Susan Hais, she took the case and felt I was clearly not being represented correctly. As you can expect I was about ready to just quit and give up, since being honest and truthful does not seem to get you anywhere these days in court. Susan stepped in and told me what to expect and the real costs worse case, to prove everything to go to trial. I did not want to spend anymore but understood. The first court date with Susan the other Attorney pretty much gave up and settled the case finally, I was amazed how worried and nervous he was, I am not sure what The two amazing Attorneys did to the opposing counsel in the Judges chambers, but it felt good to finally see a day in court going right for a man. During the whole remainder of the case Susan and Caitlin were always understanding of keeping their time time and billed fairly, they really worked for me and got it done. I was impressed and I am happy to highly recommend these two amazing Attorneys to several folks so far and will continue to recommend them to everyone I know who is in need of their services.

Lorien was amazing from the start, she met with me and gave me insights on where my case stood at the time and what I could do to help win. Throughout the 8 months Lorien worked on my case, I was consistently given updates from her and her team and was always made to feel heard and validated. She took the time to make sure myself and witnesses were fully prepared for the trial date. On the day of the trial Lorien helped me stay calm and reassured during my testimony. Lorien was stern and clever when speaking on my behalf. After the trial was over, she talked to me and let me know of what to expect next.

My high-conflict Ex had Filed for Divorce just as the Pandemic started and we went on Lock-down. I had questions because I didn't know if I even needed a lawyer. Lorien answered all of my questions for me, and offered me direction, before she even agreed to represent me. She represented and stood by me during my almost three years long, High Conflict Divorce & Custody battle that included numerous false allegations, false accusations, multiple false CPS cases, Extreme Parental Alienation, and multiple Smear Campaigns by my ex. Lorien always knew what to do each time something new was hurled at me, and she helped me prove everything to be false, so that my children were returned to me, while helping navigate me through the most difficult, heart wrenching, and stressful time of my life; as well as restoring my character and reputation, in court. We had 7 full days of trial, as well as many, many Hearings. She had many witnesses and expert witnesses testify, always on pointe when questioning witnesses, and never backing down to opposing counsel and all their shenanigans. As a mother herself, she always has the best interest of the children at heart, and she really cares about her clients - you never feel like you're just a case. She stuck it out with me to the end, and continues to represent me, as things pop up with my ex. I am so grateful to have found her, and that she took my case knowing it would be a difficult one. I cannot say enough positive things about Lorien - she is the BEST! When things are High Conflict, you want Lorien fighting for you! THANK YOU!!!

Ron Champoux was invaluable as my attorney in the area of child custody/visitation. I had a extremely complex/complicated case . Ron did his best to explain the law , my options & the the most intelligent way to get the results I desired. He is extremely trustworthy, decent, honest & knowledgable. His attention to detail in his preparation & deliverance was impressive , this along with his confidence and knowledge of the law was why I got the results I wanted ( as impossible as they were! ). If it can be done Ron will get you the results you want. As they say , you get what you pay for & Ron is worth his weight in Gold.

Ron Champoux is an excellent attorney. From the first time we met, I could tell I was in good hands. Ron explained every step in detail about the process, many times if necessary, all with patience and kindness. Over a year ago , I hired Ron to handle my divorce. His mastery of the law combined with his trustworthy character, insured I obtained the best settlement. I can recommend Ron to anyone.

Ron Champoux was recommended to me by my business attorney to handle my divorce case. That was very fortunate. Ron clearly knows the law and better still what to expect from the court. He was able to predict with a high level of accuracy how the court might decide an issue, and develop a legal strategy around it. I respect that he never once spoke disparagingly of my ex-wife and did not foment friction. Unfortunately my ex-wife's attorney did the opposite. Ron Champoux was a step or two ahead of my ex-wife's attorney at every juncture. I could also see that Ron had garnered the respect of the court (Judge Beverly Wood) and was clearly liked by everyone, including opposing counsel. He's basically a nice guy who is very competent, treats everyone with respect and gets it back. I witnessed the value of having an attorney that the court respects. His personal integrity is a given in the courtroom and his representations carry weight. He makes honest statements and winning arguments. My case was very litigious because my ex-wife's attorney was money hungry, hostile and unethical. Ron was able to deftly thwart the other side's aggression and shady tactics. He also very importantly explained the court's attitude toward entitlement and hard work. The Marin County Family Court is dominated by successful women who have balanced career and family, and do not agree that a spouse is entitled to a free ride while the other works. Ron understood that basic concept and the court's propensity for it and I was better served. It makes a big difference having an ethical attorney who thinks well on his feet. Ronald Champoux saved me at least a half million dollars in settlement and perhaps over a million. So obviously I'm a big fan. Ron has mastered the nuances of managing a case, which means you are buying a high level of legal expertise and good sense. If you're looking for an attorney who will scorch the earth, then keep looking. But if you're looking for an attorney with class who knows how to win, then Ron Champoux is your guy.

The team at Buncher Law is excellent. I recently finished a divorce with Sven and they were instrumental in helping me navigate the difficult process. Despite the emotional and financial strain of a divorce, they helped me settle and avoid more legal fees. I'm not sure how I would have made it through without them on my side. I have already referred them to a couple close friends and will continue to do so. They are good people with similar values and that goes a long way. Thank you so much.

Should I move forward I know about where I will end up, should I need to pay alimony or collect it, cost of different approaches, but most of all I believe Sven’s Team will remove a lot of anxiety so I can live and be happy.

I had contacted Kathy concerning after losing custody of my children. During my divorce, I didn’t have representation, so my parenting plan was oppressive and it didn’t leave Kathy with a lot to fight with. However, Kathy did extensive research and really worked hard to do what she could for me. In the end, Kathy helped to get my children back. Throughout the process, I found Kathy to be incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and responsive to my calls. She was always available when I needed her. Most importantly, I felt that Kathy really cared about me and my case throughout the process. I would highly recommend Kathy to anyone in need of her services. She knows the law and will provide excellent representation.

Going into my domestic violence/divorce case, I knew it was going to be difficult. I had tried to leave before, but would feel scared and powerless trying to navigate the complicated family court system with previous attorneys. All I can say is that I am eternally grateful that Rawan was recommended to me this time around! Rawan is trustworthy, knowledgeable, and hard-working. She was easy to get in touch with and very compassionate when interacting with/advising me. She was exceptional in her communication with the opposing counsel and in the courtroom. I got the best results I could have asked for. Honestly, after my first meeting with Rawan, I felt confident that this time was going to be different and, luckily, I was right. I cannot say enough great things about Rawan. Highly recommend!!

I found Melissa through several reviews online. I was in need of a prenup which was originally from my fiancé’s attorney and she was able to walk me through and make the much needed suggestions. She was always available to either speak on the phone and very quick to respond on email. I felt she was empathetic as well as knowledgeable and professional. We were able to come to an agreement for the prenup in a short time and she was reasonable and her rates. I also appreciated her patience concerning my lack of knowledge in this area. God for bid that I’d have to execute down the road, but if I do, I would hire Melissa to represent me.

If you are looking for an attorney for family law matters Matthew Hunt is the best money can buy. I initially hired Mr. Hunt after I fired another attorney who took my money, did not bother to file divorce paperwork, and would not return my calls or emails. Mr. Hunt did more in the first day of hiring him than the other attorney did in months. It was like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders knowing I now had an attorney I could trust. He was able to reverse the damage that resulted from my previous attorneys’ poor representation. I have been to multiple hearings, mediations, and a deposition with Mr. Hunt. Mr. Hunt’s preparedness was apparent during each of these instances. I’ve had conversations with Mr. Hunt and have been completely surprised when he remembers instances I’ve spoken to him about, emailed him about, and things that happened during prior years. I can truly say that I trust Mr. and his decision-making ability, mainly because he has shown me time and time again the positive results that happen afterwards. Mr. Hunt has been incredible in sorting through all my ex’s lies and making the truth shine especially in the place where it ultimately matters which is the courtroom. My children are now thriving in ways they never have never been able to before because of decisions made during those courtroom appearances and the facts that were able to be made clear by Mr. Hunt. My ex is now writing negative reviews about Mr. Hunt on multiple platforms. Her being so angry and vengeful towards Mr. Hunt is indicative of the excellent work he has done for me and my children. Thank you, Mr. Hunt, having you as my attorney has made my life and the lives of my children much better.

Mr. Hunt got me thru the most traumatic time of my life. He was accessible to me at all times and went above and beyond to keep me up to date. For part of my divorce I was living in a different state and Mr. Hunt took this in stride and did whatever he had to including getting it approved for me to attend a few of the hearings via phone. He exudes a confidence that really put me at ease. Would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone!

Matt personally handled my divorce which involved me dealing with custody of my children and paying of alimony, he also helped navigate me as I was a business owner. I was very firm with Mr. Hunt on what I wanted and he over delivered on every aspect. I get my kids more than I thought I would, I pay less than was estimated, and it was all handled on one day. No one else in their industry is as skilled as this man. Do not let these 1 star reviews say you as they are all written by clients of the other side, when you don't hire the best. You shouldn't expect to win. I hired the best so I won.

  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?

  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.

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.

    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.

    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.

  • 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:
