I was referred to Lindsey by Legal Shield. I didn't know what to expect and was quit shocked when I met with her for our first consultation. She instantly made me feel comfortable and I felt I was in good hands immedialty. She has been outstanding throughout the entire process. She is so compassionate and very detailed orientated. I was always so shocked how quickly she has gotten back to me with concerns I had. As busy as she is she continued to stay on top of things and is very knowledgeable about the law. I would refer her to anyone needing a family law attorney. Linsey has made this entire process so much easier and I am so thankful we had her as our attorney. She is absolutely amazing.

Lindsey was a wonderful attorney. She was very compassionate and thorough in her practice. Lindsey was eager to answer any questions that I may have had during the process and updated me regularly. She was very understanding, knowing that a family separation is not easy and was willing to go above and beyond to obtain a resolution.

Lindsey was the best thing to happen to me after my divorce. My ex had a large percentage of placement of our child and had been put in a position of power over me, making me feel like I had no option other than to barely see my son and pay an arm and a leg in child support. After hiring Lindsey (and a lengthy legal battle against my ex) I am in a much better position. She helped me through filing motions, finding compromise, and even communicating with my ex. Extremely helpful, completely knowledgeable, experienced in the field, friendly, and compassionate. I don't know where I'd be without her, she was of invaluable help.

She was extremely knowledgeable in marital law, and she was very understanding of both sides of the case, which was very important to me. Geri provided clear guidance as each area of the divorce proressed, and she was a great communicator. Geri worked very hard for my case while not forgetting that she was dealing with many emotions and individuals who had been in a long term marriage. Geri is highly professional and very easy to work with, she is definitely one of the best attorneys in the Capital Region.

Even though getting divorced wasn't an easy decision, Geri handled my case in a timely manner with a great deal of sensitivity.

My divorce was a very difficult time and I was grateful that I was represented by Lawrence Behrmann. He prepared me for every step of the process and made sure he knew what my goals were and what was most important to me. He knew when to counsel and when to listen, and provided timely advice on a personal level in a manner above and beyond what he was paid to do. He was very available and there were many problems that I encountered after office hours that he was able to counsel me through in a timely manner. He was very judicious in the use of his time, and saved me a lot of money by knowing what was important to do and what things did not need to be researched more. He was able to finalize a very contentious divorce by requesting the right information at the right time, and that information allowed me to have more time with the children. I have referred another friend to him and he had an experience similar to mine. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that needs a strong, compassionate and caring attorney.

I had the pleasure of hiring R. Melissa Masoom from Hunt Law Firm as my divorce attorney and overall had a pleasant experience. Melissa was always thorough and explained the process from beginning to end so that I knew exactly what to expect. When my case took a turn (became contested) Melissa handled everything very professionally and reassured me that everything would work out, which it did. I loved the online portal which allowed me to submit all documentation online, this was very convenient. The paralegals on their team were fantastic as well, very prompt and helpful. I would strongly recommend this firm.

Don't let her age fool you, Laura knows her stuff. I had a difficult and very contentious case with my ex. My ex was attempting to restrict my visitation with my daughter. Laura was all over it, she completely destroyed my exes case and laid waste to her first lawyer pre-trail and her second lawyer during the trial. I went from possibly having my visitation restricted to gaining primary custody of my daughter after not seeing her for a year and a half. I really can't say enough about Laura. My ex continues hiring new lawyer after new lawyer and Laura continues to send them packing!! I wouldn't dream of having anyone else in my corner. If you want someone that is going to fight tooth and nail for you and isn't going to BS you she's the one you need. If you choose anyone else and find yourself on the otherside of court against Laura...well good luck!

Hiring Attorney Guymon was one of the best decisions I could have made entering my divorce, he and his paralegal, Tressa Smith, made all the difference in navigating and battling through a challenging divorce. Aside from their legal expertise, they handled my case with such care and compassion. They listened, helped me remain calm in some of the most trying times in my life, and stood up for me always. Their level of prompt and continuous communication was outstanding, I was always kept in the loop in real-time. I never felt alone or unprotected during the twelve-plus months of working with them. Ultimately, they enabled me to find my way out of a 20+ year marriage with my integrity intact and enough time and resources to find a new beginning in life. I highly recommend them to anyone going through a challenging divorce.

You didn't want to be here, reading divorce lawyer reviews. You're stressed and hurt. You know that picking the right lawyer could be the difference between getting on with your life sooner or dealing with years of expense and frustration. Lucky for you, you found Livesay & Myers. Brianna Salerno and Dollie Tran were for me the flawlessly competent and sympathetic legal team I needed. I recommend them and the folks at Livesay & Myers in the highest possible terms. They helped me get through my unwelcome divorce in less time and for less money that I imagined possible. Definitely talk to several firms (I did), but in the end I am confident that if you select Livesay & Myers you will have made the right choice.

Ms. Salerno was able to guide me and my case through the intricate and specific case law for Commonwealth of Virginia family law. Ms. Salerno was always able to answer my questions (how and why) with specificity to ensure I understood the exact reason for all decisions made in my case. That alone makes Ms. Salerno and her team "the bomb diggity" but her kindness and willingness to understand the emotional peaks and valleys of a case surely has placed her in the realm of spectacular family law attorneys. Knowing the law without a kind "desk side" manner is of no use to any client in her field of law. From the onset of my case through the trial, Ms. Salerno and her team were willing to research any and all portions of law relating to my case and precisely execute the strategy she developed. I am now and will always give Ms. Salerno and her team a "full-throated" positive review for their consummate professionalism, graciousness and comprehensive expertise in family law. I will enthusiastically recommend Ms. Salerno to anyone who asks for or needs a family law attorney.

As both a client and attorney (one who does not specialize in family law), I highly recommend Brian Urban as collaborative divorce counsel. With Brian's expert guidance, I was able to drive my own collaborative process in terms of the timing of the process and pursuing my priorities in the divorce, negotiate agreements with my ex spouse that best suited our respective needs and the needs of our children, and preserve communication with my ex spouse about our children. Brian is an excellent communicator who responded promptly and with a great deal of consideration to my every question. I appreciate that Brian's fees are reasonable, and that he worked efficiently and effectively to control costs of the collaborative process. In addition, Brian's integrity is second to none. He exhibited honesty and professionalism at every stage of my collaborative process. I would recommend Brian without reservation to anyone who elects to pursue a collaborative divorce.

There is an old saying which states, “The definition of a fair divorce settlement is that both parties walk away unhappy.” After 31 years of marriage, raising three children and running a successful company, I did not want this antiquated interpretation of divorce to define our family. The concept of “collaborative divorce” which encompassed negotiations, compromise and creative problem solving with legal representation was certainly the answer for our family. Brian Urban personified these altruistic concepts and helped us reach a “win-win” resolution to our divorce avoiding painful and damaging litigation. Brian Urban was instrumental in our collaborative divorce in many ways including the following; - He was an exceptional communicator and a fountainhead of creative problem resolution options. - He put me at ease, kept me informed and prepared me for every step of the process. - His perspective and advice were key to helping me focus on “the big picture” involving legal issues and what was important to me, thus avoiding inconsequential emotional topics. - Brian’s knowledge and experience in Divorce Law was instrumental in keeping the process on point and moving forward in a timely, cost effective manner. - Brian protected ALL my interests, including the company, which is a source of income for my ex-wife, children and myself. He made sure BOTH parties understood that a healthy negotiating environment would keep the company intact and benefit everyone. - After being involved in many, many negotiations over the years I can tell you HE IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST AT WHAT HE DOES! I am proud to have Brian Urban as a representative because he treated all parties with respect and fairness. But I want to be clear, even though it was a “collaborative divorce”, he ALWAYS had my best interest. My ex-wife and I amicably talk on a daily basis and our children are very happy we embraced the process of a collaborative divorce.

We met Rachel Bender through our PEPS group (her daughter and our son are just 2 weeks apart in age) and we knew that she would be perfect in helping us secure our son's future. It was wonderful to have someone who cares so deeply about her own family help take care of our own. Rachel takes pride in what she does for a living and you can tell she's passionate about the security of people's futures.

I ONLY clicked on ONE lawyer, as time was of the essence when my spouse left me unexpectedly. Something I'd never drempt would happen! He'd cancelled any means he thought I'd have to stand up for my own rights. MARGARET BENDER and her very dedicated staff, DIANA and VANESSA, have all helped me survive down this very sad path we call Divorce! They allowed me to come in immediately. I had called on a Friday night, but they had no idea (nor did I) that I'd make it on a plane and be there that Monday morning!

I met Mr. Peller in 2018, I found Ken’s contact online after talking and meeting with several lawyers. When I first met with ken, I felt I finally find the right person. Till today, I have been feeling fortunate and greatful that I found him and made the decision to have him as my attorney. Ken is a great attorney with lots of experience. He truly listened to me, to what I wanted and to what I had concern about then give me his advise. What’s more than that is he also thought from the child’s perspective, sometimes he would just think and talk like a friend of mine, if not an attorney. We would walk through the impact of the case direction to the kid, including what’s several years down the road. Ken has his own law firm, I can get in contact with him directly. Ken replies phone calls as soon as he can If he missed one. And the email exchanges with Ken were also on time and informational. My case involved a young child and last over a year, it was a difficult time especially when the other party was using what he knew about the law telling lies, threatening and harassing me. But I could always get assured from Ken that the other party did not have a stand at all. And it was proven that he was right every time. My case had to go to the court after all. In a nutshell, Ken had prepared me and the case really well, his performance on the court went beyond my expectation. Finally, we won. Property was divided fairly. Most importantly, I got the kind of custody I wanted for my child. I will definitely recommend Ken to the people I know who needs help and advise.

Mr. Peller is my lawyer and helped me through a complex and difficult divorce. He is very calm and professional. He has a lot of experience and knows the important issues. He is a very good listener. He asked the right questions and collected the all the relevant information. When we first met, I was still in the initial emotional stage and he helped me get through this and begin moving towards the logical fact-based issues that needed to be dealt with. He kept me appraised of what my rights were and that there were limits to how much could be taken from me. He easily explained when my spouse was asking for things that would never stand up in court. We did not have to go to court. We ended up doing a dissolution. The finalized divorce was favorable to me and very fair compared to what my spouse wanted. He is a good man and I consider him my friend. I would highly recommend Mr. Peller. He will guide you through a very difficult situation and always give the best advice and protect your interests.

There is not enough I can say for all Melissa has done for me and my children. I hired Melissa after having 2 other local attorneys. I won’t mention their names, however I don’t feel with them they always had the best intentions of my children involved. From the start with my consultation, Melissa always had not only my protection legally /finamcially at the top, but the protection of my children first and foremost. It had taken me three years and two attorneys before Melissa came and finished my case with the amount of money she told me she would. She actually finished my three year long case in just 6 months. If you are from an abusive relationship and are wondering where to go next and who could help you finish a long horrible process, I would definitely consult Melissa to help you. I do believe she is an angel for me and my kids...there just aren’t any more words or better way to put it. Thank you Melissa Amy and the M&Ms

Seventeen years ago I met John due to the child visitation/support issues I faced. He took everything I had to say into consideration and explained my rights as a parent while keeping the best interest of the kids in mind. He even indicated that his services may not be needed but that he would be willing to assist if I was uncomfortable speaking in front of the judge. Hiring him as my attorney was the best decision I made since legal cases can get very complicated and confusing for the average person. He obtained all he promised, never misled me, and worked so hard, which I am forever grateful for. Ever since then, John has been there for my family and I whenever we need advice or representation, never fails to benefit our situation. As of right now, seventeen years later, I am back seeking his legal advice in hopes of terminating my case now that my kids have been emancipated.

I was served unexpectedly by my ex 6 days before the scheduled court date and Jamie was able to work with me and represent me. He was honest and straightforward and did not take advantage of me, a single mother. He did what was in my best interest instead of what was in his best interest and it was refreshing. I will be using him again in the future, should I need an attorney.

My husband and I had consulted with the attorneys here. I must say, they did a stellar job. Before getting on the call, they were prepared: they had reviewed all of our paperwork and was able to provide very useful advice as to what steps we should take to get our matter resolved. Before consulting with the firm, I had plenty of restless nights, but after consulting with them, I was able to sleep again. They gave us peace of mind. We love them. They are very knowledgeable in what they do.

In my initial meeting with Mrs. Zeringue I was met with professionalism, yet kindness, and understanding. Mrs. Zeringue listened intently while I was explaining my current situation. Her calmness and confidence won me over immediately. She was very informative, and lead me through the process with understanding and compassion. Her entire staff was available at all times, and calmed my fears. I can't even begin to express my gratitude for Mrs. Zeringue's outstanding representation of my case. I highly recommend Zeringue & Associates and her team for their abundant knowledge of their expertise in their field of law.

Due to unfortunate circumstances, my wife and I found ourselves in a situation requiring an attorney for a critical custody battle of our 8 year old son. With so much at stake, we wanted “the best”. Lacy LaFour came recommended to us by an attorney from a prominent Houston law firm after Ms. LaFour bested them in a case. From the day we met with Lacy, we knew we had teamed up with the right person. Lacy LaFour engaged and worked to know every intimate detail of our situation: the good, the bad and the ugly. She developed a solid game plan with avenues for adjustments as needed, counseled along the way as emergent situations arose, and prepped for every court appearance as if my life depended on it. I’m still amazed at just how intimately familiar she become with the particulars of our situation. There was never a time when I felt unprepared or did not know what to expect thanks to Ms. Lacy LaFour. When the time came for the final court appearance, even the Judge was impressed with how thorough our preparations and presentations were. The outcome was as favorable as we could have hoped for with stringent restrictions and requirements to protect the ground we gained. We are ever so thankful for Lacy and highly recommend her. She’ll change your world!!

I hired Ms. Lafour to represent me during an extremely stressful period of my life. I cannot possibly articulate the amount of gratitude I have for her. Lacy is an amazing lawyer, but that is only a small part of who she is and what she brings to the table. Lacy has the ability to connect with her clients in a way that few people can; and I experienced that first hand. Not only was she able to successfully and flawlessly navigate me through a complicated litigation process, but she also exuded genuine empathy for my situation. Clients are typically in an extremely stressful phase of their lives when they find a need to reach out to an attorney like Ms. LaFour. My situation was no different. Lacy is much more than just a legal mind; she is also a sincerely kindhearted and thoughtful person. She was always available to listen to my fears and concerns with a compassionate ear, and then respond with sound, intelligent advice. The soft skills that Lacy possess are also equaled by her tactical and strategic savvy. The game-plan she developed and executed highlighted her ability analyze each situation and execute it to perfection. Lacy is simply the best!

Lacy LaFour is a wonderful attorney and I cannot recommend her enough. She is kind and supportive, and was (and still is) genuinely interested in the well-being of my son. She is also tough but professional when she needs to be, and put in the effort to really understand my case and design a strategy to win it. All her skill, experience and hard work paid off when she reached a settlement that got me primary conservatorship of my son, which is an extraordinary success considering that my ex-wife has sole conservatorship of her daughter from a previous relationship.

I initially got in contact with Taylor for a consultation through my friend who had worked with him for her divorce . He gave me all of the information I needed to self-file. My ex avoided service and filed his own divorce papers in CA where he lives. So it all became very complicated. I came back to Taylor and hired him to help me navigate through it all. He could not give me any advice on CA, but he was very skilled at helping me know what to do to ensure jurisdiction for the case would be here in OR. I had lived here for 2 years with my 10 year old son. Taylor was able to successfully get jurisdiction changed to OR. My ex challenged it in CA, but we prevailed. This was an incredibly stressful and emotional experience for me that went on for almost 2 years. Taylor stuck through it all with me and was a calm and patient sounding board for my concerns and questions. He is a saint for all of the times he talked me off the edge and helped me through it all. He answered every call in a timely manner and swiftly followed up on all the necessary documents and filings needed. I feel so blessed to have had Taylor as my attorney and I would highly recommend him to anyone having to unfortunately go through a divorce. Taylor is incredibly skilled and compassionate. If there was an award for best Divorce Attorney in the state, Taylor would win it hands down.

Taylor,and his staff went above and beyond for our family this past year and a half. His compassion and understanding of family law made me feel confident that we had made the right choice in choosing our lawyer. What was supposed to be a fairly simple divorce modification,ended up being a lengthy process that resulted in a court hearing. Taylor was very well prepared for this and eased my nervousness by thouroughly prepping me beforehand. Without him we would not have prevailed in both the court hearing and supplemental judgement. I can’t express how fortunate my children and I are for what Taylor has done for us. We will always be grateful.. thank you Taylor.

Lisa Kenn exceeded all our expectations. As parents, we both have legal experience and did some research to help our daughter find the best divorce lawyer in a very difficult, messy divorce. From the very beginning our daughter always felt like Lisa Kenn was on her “team,” and that enabled her to operate under extreme anxiety because she knew Lisa Kenn always had her back. This allowed my husband and I to function as supportive parents (which our daughter needed) because we trusted Lisa Kenn would handle the legal end. What a gift she has been in our lives during this really difficult time. Her personal attention, communication, and knowledge of the family law specialty was excellent. I highly recommend Lisa Kenn.

  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.

    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.

    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.
