Matt's expertise and dedication were invaluable. His advocacy for me and my children went above and beyond my expectations. Matt made me feel supported and empowered during this challenging time. His advice was spot-on, and his strategic guidance protected my interests at every step. I highly recommend Matt's services to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I met Matt and his para Benjamin when my previous lawyer had abruptly left his firm in the middle of my custody case. Matt quickly got up to speed, and was everything I had hoped for and more. Matt always kept the children’s best interest in absolute focus and never let me astray. He gave solid advice, showed genuine care, and had a sharp strategy for all the twists and turns, always unwavering in his approach to not add onto the drama (and billing). It is a great gift to be able to look back and know that every win was done right, and not from punching below the belt. Going through it, the greatest gift was the firewall he and Benjamin put up in only bringing me what truly needed my attention. Benjamin deserves his own review as well. I became very ill during the case, and while I was unable to do the paperwork required, Benjamin worked tirelessly with me, combing through piles of paperwork. Working with Benjamin was like having a good friend helping me through the worst time in my life. I simply cannot say enough good things about him. I am beyond relieved that I have not needed their services since then, but I have to say that I miss having interactions with both Matt and Benjamin, they are two stand up guys

Attorney Fozard has been absolutely amazing to work with! He is very clear and direct with the guidance he provides you, fully explaining the reasoning behind the direction he is giving. He ensures you understand the process in the current state and what is to come. He is incredibly prompt to respond to any email or phone call. What sets him apart most is he isn't afraid to be direct and blunt with you in helping you decide the proper actions and responses that would be best in situations that involve children to ensure the children remain a the forefront and aren't put in the middle. Highly Recommend Atty. Fozard, you will not be disappointed!!

When you are going through something as emotional as a divorce, you need someone who is calm, cool and very competent at your side. Mr. Fozard is kind, professional and he stays focused on the goal. My ex-wife went through two different attorneys and both of them tried starting silly arguments with us that quite frankly just rack up the legal fees . . . .. good for the lawyers, bad for the clients. Mr. Fozard shut that down immediately and kept the process moving forward. Also of note, his communication and follow through are absolutely outstanding. While hopefully I will never need his services again, I know I will be keeping in touch with him, as he is that type of individual!

Attorney Fozard has gone above and beyond representing a loved one in their messy divorce. He inherited a complete mess from her previous attorney and has done everything in his power to protect her and her children. Stephen is prompt in responding to any questions and concerns with sound legal advice. More importantly, I truly believe he cares. He is a great attorney and an even better person. Without hesitation, if I ever need an attorney for any reason going forward, I will give his office a call first.

I’ve been using Paul Ferns for several years now. Originally I had a different lawyer and he wasn’t on top of my case. I soon after had switched to Paul and haven’t had another attorney since. He has helped in numerous car accident cases and a few driving violation cases as well. He also has given advice on family issues and legalities of different situations I was in need of help with. I’ve always left his office happy and extremely satisfied with the results. He’s answered every question I’ve had an has been very attentive to my cases. He’s a breath of fresh air and very professional. Definitely has a way of making you feel comfortable. Breaks down all aspects of the cases I’ve presented to him and which ways we are able to go. Absolutely recommend Paul for all of your legal needs. He’s knowledgeable in many areas of law which is a plus is any great attorney!!

I had a particularly complicated Divorce that had a house, assets, debt and other considerations that needed an experienced Lawyer that could navigate the Rhode Island legal system quickly and easily. Attorney Ferns not only made the whole process easy but we were able to come to an agreement with my spouse and get a judgement much faster than I anticipated. With over 24 years experience he really understands the law and is a great negotiator. I can not recommend Paul Ferns enough if you need his services. He will get things done and will ensure that you get a fast and fair judgement.

Reem Odeh helped my parent get a green card after a long visa overstay. When we were about half way through the process, we encountered a really difficult pothole and had to consider the fact that my parent would not be eligible for her card. Reem personally intervened, performed some miracle work with a letter she wrote to the USCIS, and we received the green card yesterday. The process took about 9-10 months. We are absolutely grateful for all the work that Reem and her office put in for us. I strongly recommend her for anyone requiring help in immigration, because if anyone could help you, it will 1000% be her. She is so empathetic and cares about individuals, not the numbers.

Terry Brown took on my divorce case which appeared to be a simple uncontested divorce as there was a pre-nuptial agreement. However, it quickly morphed into a complex contested divorce with out of state and international complications. The defendant was not a US citizen but did have permanent resident status. I had signed an immigrant sponsorship document that defense counsel attempted to use to claim alimony which would have reached into the six figures. Opposing council attempted to show that I was an abusive husband, even calling in DFACS to investigate (and spend hours searching my house). The pre-nuptial agreement was questioned and opposing council made a rigorous attempt to get this rejected by the court. The defendant would not supply all documents requested during discovery thus causing numerous problems and a trip to court to obtain these. Several issues and conflicts with the defendant’s income statements were found by Terry. Even with all these problems (and about 20 other minor issues) and a yearlong divorce, Terry won the case for me. The abuse issue was unfounded, DFACS refused to investigate farther as there was no evidence and conflicting information provided. The immigration sponsorship was not accepted, and the pre-nuptial agreement was. As Terry stated “what’s your’s is your’s and what’s mine is mine” turned out correctly. While it was a long, stressful divorce, the trial outcome was better that I expected based on the risk and exposure I had. I will recommend Terry for any type of divorce.

Katherine Burnstein came highly recommended by another lawyer I've known for years, and worked for nearly 18 months on my divorce and custody case. Katherine possesses a perfect balance of compassion, empathy, and occasional brutal honesty when necessary. Her years of experience and her clear love of ongoing learning were invaluable in helping me navigate a complex situation that I knew little about. She had the patience and willingness to listen and help me figure out what I wanted and needed, without ever pushing me toward her own conclusions. When the need arose for specialists outside of the field of law to assist with the case, I was very impressed with the experts she brought it. Katherine showed keen attention to detail, catching little details in the settlement proposals that were either errors or ambiguities. In the end, I benefitted from her ability to catch these details that others might have missed. Katherine seems to have good working relationships with other family lawyers in town and is respectful, professional, and friendly when communicating with them. When she needs to, however, she has a fierce strength and voice that gets what needs to be done, done. Going through a divorce is an agonizing experience, and it meant the world to me to have someone like Katherine fighting in my corner and walking with me through that difficult time. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Kathryn is personable, knowledgeable, articulate, thorough, and patient. From day one, I knew that she was going to be a source of comfort during the most trying time of my life. As someone who has never been involved in any sort of court procedure, I felt at ease because she is the best communicator, explaining the process, my rights and what a realistic outcome would look like. I never knew an attorney could be so encouraging. Kathryn has heart, empathy and she was there with me through the whole thing. Her staff is welcoming and friendly, and everyone in the office is prompt about attending your needs. I will never have to search for a family lawyer again because I lucked out and found the best one in town. On my court date, I felt unbelievably calm and collected because she had prepared me well and I knew exactly what to expect. My case closed with little stress and I know it's because she worked diligently to ensure the best outcome for my child and me. I highly recommend Kathryn, especially if you are aiming to protect your child's rights.

Kathryn handled my divorce. She was absolutely intent on making sure I got the very best settlement and on ensuring I understood the repercussions of my decisions during the process. She was direct, especially when she believed I was making decisions against my best interests. She was also flexible when my now-ex-spouse and I were making unusual requests. Kathryn was easy to reach when I had questions. She was supportive, which I very much appreciated. I don't think I realized quite how well she had represented me until the entire process was complete and I could see how great the settlement turned out for me and the children. I highly, highly recommend her.

This is especially true when it comes to divorce and family matters. From the moment I called the office to the end of my case, I knew that I could not have been in more competent hands. I was able to take a deep breath for the fist time after my initial consultation with Jennifer. She has such a heart for what she does and you know she is absolutely invested in your outcome. Her professionalism and knowledge of family law is beyond compare. She gave me peace of mind and confidence when it came to my divorce proceedings.

Natalie was the first lawyer who gave me the confidence to think that I could beat my DUI case. Five lawyers prior had pretty much encouraged me to spend several thousands of dollars with them, only to sit back and plea guilty. Without a doubt I can say that none of them cared one bit about my case. But Natalie discussed with me, in detail, our options for actually winning my case. This was a first, so I gave her a shot. Six months later, Natalie helped me beat my DUI case. What more could I say...

I chose Phyllis Bookspan to help me through my divorce because I wanted a barracuda with a heart. When I looked at her background, I was impressed with her credentials (Georgetown Law-I knew she would be intelligent and hard-working) but also knew she would be the right lawyer for me because of her background in Yoga and Mindfulness. I walked into her office looking for a collaborative divorce, but when she heard my history she put down her notes and clearly told me exactly why that would be the wrong decision. She will tell you the truth, be empathetic but professional, and listen to your feedback as you go through the process. Divorce is hard, but I knew I had the right lawyer on my team from the very beginning.

Gordon Brown is a one in a million, you could not ask for a better lawyer to fight for your child/children. He puts his heart in his work and once you meet him there is no questioning that. He makes you feel comfortable in the court room and really fights for what he believes is the best interest for the child. He is a genuine person which is truly rare in most lawyers. I can not say enough wonderful things about him and would truly be at a lost without him as an attorney. You will not find a lawyer better than him, i guarantee that.

I had consolted with another attorney who seemed great during the initial consolt. However, when I was wanting to hire her she would not return my calls or emails for 3 months. This led me Google to search for another attorney. I found Sarah Reist and now I am glad that other attorney never replied to me because I found Sarah. When I met Sarah, she was with another firm. She was very kind, pleasant, informative and professional. She spent a good amount of time with me. She answered all of my questions. I immediately hired her to write a letter to my ex spouse which she did quickly and efficiently. She since then has opened her own law firm with a colleague but I was very happy because she took the time to write me and give me her new contact information. She also called me to check on me and make sure that I received her letter with new contact information. When my ex husband called her about the letter she wrote him, she called me right away the same day to inform me and thanks to her letter, my ex spouse finally reimbursed me for medical expenses after 11 years of not paying at all. Sarah always answers my emails and never forgets about me. I am now in the process of hiring Sarah Reist again to proceed in child support enforcement / filing a petition for contempt. I have absolute faith in her and recommend her to anyone who is looking for a family law attorney. I also want to say Thank you to Sarah for being so nice and kind to me.

I cannot recommend Sarah enough if you are a father wanting your legal rights protected and your children are in the Nashville area. I live in Michigan, my children were in Tennessee in the Nashville area, and I now have full, permanant custody of them in Michigan. It was a lot of work, and very stressful at times, however, if you are wanting an attorney who will work extremely hard for you, if you are wanting an attorney who is not only smart, but capable and devastatingly aggressive in the courtroom in pursuit of your rights and interests, you cannot do better then Sarah. I am 100% convinced that having Sarah as my legal console made the differance in the outcome of my custody battle. Thanks to her efforts, her hours of hard work, and her zealous prosecution of my rights, I now have full custody of my children. I could not be more grateful for the services she's rendered, and could not recommend her any higher. If you are a father wanting to be able to play an active role in your children's lives, and you have to deal with the family court system, call her. You will be glad you did. I and my children sure are.

The service I requested was a contract review and she pretty much dissected the contract and exposed sinister intention. She explained how contracts should be construed in accordance to the locality/state of the party. She offered great advice such as being able to exit a contract under your terms and that it shouldn't be unilateral or in the favor of the other person.

I run a small machinery sales company in Twinsburg, OH. We had a contract dispute with a client. I called Jessica Didion. Within a day we had a plan and the next day we executed our plan. I was very pleased with the service and would recommend Jessica to anyone with Business related issues that need legal advice.

I can't begin to say how thankful I am to have found Didion and Green. Jessica is knowledgeable, personable, and professional. She made me feel at ease in and out of court during my difficult divorce involving children. I felt secure and reassured with her by my side. She always showed me that I could rely on her. Thank you Jessica for everything you've done for me and my children.

I can't thank Charlotte Christian enough for helping me at the worst time of my life. Christian fought hard and never gave up on my case. She fought for me and my kids till the end!! As a single mom I have had days my spirit was down, but will never forget the day she showed up at my work to check up on me and my kids. I don't know if she knows, but that day was the day she gave me back the hope and strength to keep fighting. Not only is she an awesome attorney but she has an amazing heart!! Thank you Charlotte Christian for fighting for me and my kids I could not have gotten through this without you!!!

This was my first experience with the court system or an attorney. As a father going for custody, the odds were stacked against me, but in the end I received full custody and a lot more. Clearly I owe it all to Charlotte and her team, I am truly grateful to have had them help me through the divorce process.

I went to Paul after releasing my previous lawyer who was awful. I took her mess to Paul to fix, and he did just that. He picked up the pieces as if he had been my lawyer from the beginning. He handled the case efficiently, professionally, and honestly. I couldn't have had a more reliable attorney. Thank you, Paul!

She is always quick to handle the problem and keeps me well informed along the way. She has a way of making it all make sense and I really appreciate that, because legal issues can be confusing. I’ll never use any other lawyer. Ms. Nations has earned my trust.

I was wrongfully accused of a Title IX infraction. Marc is an exceptional listener and possesses the innate ability to ascertain facts from friction. After discussing my situation, Marc walked me through the Title IX process and explained how we should address the issue. Marc assisted in drafting a response letter to the adjudicate and coached me leading up to the interview. In the end, the accusation was not a Title IX issue, and flaws and false accusations in the claimant's testimony surfaced in which the case was ruled in my favor. I would not have known how to respond and properly defend myself without Marc’s assistance. Finally, Marc was always responsive and his fee for service was reasonable. The value of legal service with winning results is exceptional. Thank you, Marc.

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Marc; but I will give my best attempt for anyone going through challenging and distressful legal matters to completely give him your trust!!! I truly did not believe my case would result in being COMPLETELY DISMISSED, and somehow Marc was able to get it done!!!!! Filtering through my options of attorneys, Marc gave me the best offer of anyone and had my interest even more when he told me he was previously a prosecutor for several years. I just followed everything Marc guided me to do. He constantly walked me through everything every time we met. The justice system is certainly intimidating, and he made the experience simple from the beginning. He explained what was happening, every outcome and exactly how they came to be, what things to expect, what things to prepare for and how to prepare for them. Facing a number of F1 charges, getting caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, I was anticipating that I'd have to do probation in the VERY least. Getting my case dismissed entirely still seems unfathomably unbelievable to me, and I am infinitely grateful for everything Marc was able to do for me. The weight of relief I feel is inconceivable! He is incredible at what he does, and I cannot recommend him enough!!!!! I will always recommend him to anyone for as long as he is in the business!

I hired Marc Chavez for a Title XI case I was named a Respondent for. To put it briefly, he was incredible. He was present at all of my interviews with investigators and provided me with useful legal counsel throughout the entire process. Marc without a doubt is in a class of his own. On the day of our hearing, the Complainant tried pulling a fast one on us by having a surprise witness show up to testify against me. Marc handled the situation amazingly. He managed to stay calm and continue to present our case in a clear and concise manner. If you find yourself being falsely accused of violating Title XI policies at your university, Marc Chavez will be key to your exoneration. I cannot recommend him enough.

Veronica Martinez has represented me for the last three to four years in ongoing custody matters. Veronica's knowledge, compassion, and dedication are unmatched. During my four years of working with Veronica, she has taught me how to represent myself in the future to save money. She has shown compassion and love towards my family and truly cares about what is best for my daughter. I really could not ask for a better lawyer with such exceptional values for integrity, kindness, and professionalism. I don't want to think about where my daughter would be without Veronica having my back and working tirelessly to do right by my child. Veronica is simply the best in her field. I will always use her for future cases and always recommend her for any legal needs.

I attained Brittney Blumengold for several legal issues in the past decade regarding family matters, relationship tribulations, and separation trepidations. In every single case she has brought me clarity, justice, and results. Mrs. Blumengold is well-versed on family law, and she knows all the intricacies of the court system. She personally replies to emails in a timely manner and answers phone calls, which is so hard to find in this day and age. Mrs. Blumengold always made time to remedy all my questions and concerns, kept me updated on my case, and walked me through all the proceedings. Unlike many lawyers, who just work for the profits, she makes sure humanity is not removed from the equation. If you’re shopping for an experienced family attorney, then this is who you should be contacting. The legal market is flooded with many new attorneys, but that inexperience will hurt clients who deserve quality help. In the words of the late Sailor Jerry, “Good work ain't cheap, cheap work ain't good.”

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.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.

    • 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.

      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.

      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:
