Chris is the BEST! Truly, the best. I met with multiple attorneys while going through a divorce. I had a consultation when I was going to switch representation and his pointers for where I was in my situation were spot on! By following his advice I completely changed the momentum in my case. I interviewed a lot of lawyers and Chris is hands down the best. He was level headed and educated me in my current situation as well as managed my expectations for what was to come. I cannot recommend him enough. Tracie, his paralegal, and him make a great team and are so personal. Please make a wiser first choice than I initially did and just hire him. I am positive you will save thousands just by starting off with the right person to represent you.

I have been a client of Chris and Tracie’s for almost three years. I have worked with several other law firms and attorneys. I can say that it is possible to find a good attorney but it is very difficult to find a good law firm. Harbor Family Law provides the complete package. I have never met an attorney as calm and effective as Chris, a paralegal as incredible as Tracie, nor an operations manager as kind and considerate as Kelli. Harbor Family Law is what every client hopes to find when seeking an attorney. The staff upholds standards of integrity and diligence that is difficult to find elsewhere. Chris represents his cases with clarity and intelligence. He is direct while maintaining respect for all parties involved. He provides clients with insight and direction. Tracie is irreplaceable in the law community. She is responsive, and truly invested in her work. She is knowledgeable and has a vigor for the best possible outcome for their clients. As a team Chris and Tracie are exceptional. Together they provide a stable atmosphere where clients can trust that they are in good hands. Kelli is truly a breath of fresh air and a joy to communicate with. The character and dependability of Harbor Family Law is outstanding. I simply cannot recommend them enough!

Chris has been my attorney for over 12 yrs now, representing me in custody matters concerning my daughter. He has all the qualities a client would look for in their attorney. First, his communication style both with clients and in court is clear, calm, and genuinely empathetic. Chris is able to come up with rational solutions and present them to all parties involved in a very palatable way. He is also highly analytical and detail oriented, able to put together all the pieces of the puzzle to problem solve complicated cases with lots of data/documents. Chris has never missed a beat in getting me and my daughter the best possible outcomes, while always being direct and honest with me about potential outcomes. Last but not least, Chris appears to be highly respected within his own community both among other attorneys and judges/commissioners. It should also be noted that Chris has an exceptional assistant. Tracie is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and empathetic. Together, they make a truly indispensable team that I cannot recommend highly enough!

I wanted to update my review for Mr. Lutz as I didn't include his Paralegal. Jill Conner as an aboslute superior performer. Her attention to detail, knowledge, and experience was unsurpassed. She really poised David Lutz for success. Here's my original review with updates. Mr. Lutz was amazing and he packs premium performance in a budget price.I had a fraudulent DVPO filed against me. My wife’s claims were untrue. She was attempting to use this as the common “silver bullet” technique used to get the upper hand in a divorce. Mr. Lutz helped explain what I needed to do in order to prove my innocence. I provided my evidence to him and his amazing paralegal. He helped me feel confident by explaining the process and what was to come. He went to court with me and calmly incapacitated the opposing counsel. He calmly told the commissioner my wife’s claims didn’t at all meet the definition of domestic violence. I probably didn't even need an attorney. My ex wife's attorney Bryan Murry was a bumbling, ever failing attorney. He was often scrambling for reference documents, and seemingly perpetually unorganized. To me, his performance indicated he obtained his education at a low-tier community college. I really hope he can get a new job and get trained by the best so he can succeed, as he was unscrupulous and unethically proceeded to talk bad about me after the commissioner had dismissed his case and publicity asked why he had brought this to the court. I fear until he gets help from a mentor, he will let down, and disappoint any client he takes on. He will willingly take money even though the case is not winnable, so I guess that's a good think. Using Mr. Lutz and Ms. Morfitt against him was like using a tactical nuclear weapon against Popsicle stand. The judge dismissed the case after agreeing with my explanations in my documents and concurring with Mr. Lutz. He’s still helping my divorce case and I’m hoping for another victory while keeping cost to a minimum. Mr. Lutz has been great to work with so far. He knows how what he’s doing and does his best to keep costs as low as possible. Mr Lutz, Ms. Morfitt, and Jill Conner were fantastic and I highly recommend paying them to help you succeed and the truth come out.

I’ve recently contacted Emily’s firm on a divorce/separation matter. I didn’t have much expectations contacting her firm but Emily’s effort in helping me was something that I will cherish for a very long time. I walked away from the experience with more knowledge on what options that are now available to me and an immense sense of relief, knowing that my problem is now solvable, all made possible by Emily’s great work ethics, outstanding research skill, and expertise in her fields of practice. Most importantly, she treated me with kindness, patience and utmost respect.

I found Emily Tsai after seeing my wife’s lawyer out class my first 3 lawyers. He was able to take the documented truth and twist it into lies. The first 3 fell prey to sleazy tactics and threats of sanctions. Maybe they were afraid of a lawyer who had a Commissioner working in his law firm. Emily took him on and save me from losing potentially $2 million to the lies and tricks of the other side. She did this by not responding to lies and sleaze with lies and sleaze. She did it using the high road with good legal reasoning, good legal research, and outstanding expert witnesses. Emily is hard working. To my objection she had me in her office late into the night to prepare for the arbitration hearing. Her husband was very patient and waited hours for her to complete the preparations. If you have high value assets at risk in your divorce, you need to see Emily. She is well worth her fee.

I will I admit I was nervous and a bit uncomfortable, but Ashley walked me through with my situation with an unbiased opinion discussing the pros and cons. With the information that Ashley provided me we were able to come up with the best solutions that were in my best interest as well as the requests from the opposing attorney. Ashley passionately puts her clients first, as well as there best interest!

My wife and I were looking a lawyer to write our wills and we found Kyle. The first thing that sold us was his prices were incredible. I didn't think we would be able to afford a will for both of us, but because of his prices we were able to easily afford one for both my wife and I. His belief is that wills should be affordable so everyone can have one written up, and it shows. He did an excellent job taking the time to answer all my questions and walking me through the documents that needed to be filled out. He is very thorough as well. Not only was he great to work with, but we requested a special meeting because we are high risk for corona virus. Not only was he respectful of our request, but he went above and beyond our expectations. He provided a setting for us in which we felt respected and safe. I would recommend Kyle to anyone.

I was let go from a previous job in a rather messy fashion. So messy, that many lawyers weren't even interested in the case. When the mess extended and overturned my unemployment benefits, the lawyer I had previously hired stopped representing me. With the deadline to appeal looming within only a week, I was at the end of my rope. Then, I was put in touch with Jeffrey Varszegi. Jeffrey worked tirelessly, before even deciding whether he should take my case. He didn't have much experience in unemployment law, had to review the load of technicalities and documentation I provided, and had little time to decide whether or not he could defend me to the utmost. Within a day, he knew that I had a case-- a case he would be confident in defending. In the months before a judgement was offered, I knew that Jeff had worked his utmost on my case and was already satisfied with his dedication. The months were tiring, and the case had its twists and surprises. Lo and behold, Jeff's expert review of legal decisions, incisive reasoning, expert writing, and persusasive explanations led to my case being decided in my favor, after years of faltering. I'm honored and proud to have had Jeffrey represent me, would consider him first in the future, and I would recommend him to anyone who is willing to value his talent as an attorney.

I foolish had signed a postnuptial that could have ruined me financially. I had consulted with another lawyer and was told there was nothing that could be done. I was absolutely devastated!! I then met with Andy later that day. He looked over the postnuptial and found so many loop holes. I knew I had found the lawyer I needed for my divorce. He is so incredibly knowledgeable, competent, trustworthy, takes the high road on issues. Even though he has been a lawyer for 23 years, he still has that intense drive and dedication to make things right for his clients. Andy didn't make me feel like a fool for signing this awful postnuptial. There was a lot of intense emotions I had and he was kind and thoughtful in his responses to me.

I highly recommend hiring Andy as your divorce and family attorney. Not only was Andy responsive to my case needs but he was/is, extremely competent and he has several years in practicing divorce and family law; a definite benefit for any case. His experience and years of practice was crucial to many aspects of my divorce. I knew I was in good hands at each and every turn of my case and I was thankful I had Andy on my side to support me through the tumultuous process. I sincerely appreciated his service and care in addressing the separation of assets and sticky situations that arose around children. He didn't spend time (my money) on unnecessary tasks or documentation. Going through divorce is difficult especially when children are involved and the professionalism, responsiveness, preparation and good counsel that Andy offers is invaluable. Due to the emotional state that divorce burdens one with, it’s easy to back down and not get what you want/deserve; Andy’s experience and law knowledge enabled my case to move quickly and effectively with a desired outcome. I have high regard for Andy. He walked me through every step of the long and time-consuming process with good counsel. I will absolutely use Andy again; however, I’ll never get married again - Happily divorced thanks to Andy!

I was recently caught off guard with a motion against me from my daughter’s Father. Before I found Attorney Miracle, I called several firms and had multiple consultations with other attorneys who just seemed like they were out to take my money or give me a false sense of hope and tell me what they thought I wanted to hear instead of just being honest. I had a friend recommend Attorney Miracle and after our consultation, I knew immediately she was the one I wanted to represent my case and I don’t regret my decision. She was very open and honest with me from day 1 about everything. Attorney Miracle is very thorough with her work and I was very impressed. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to be my side throughout this whole ordeal. She’s extremely knowledgeable, professional, honest and compassionate.

I am grateful that I didn't limit myself with gender-only selection, and instead look for the best person for legal representation. Patrick is fair, honest, and reasonable - not only in terms of financial expectations, but overall expectations. When we were in front of the judge, I was happy he was on my side of the courtroom, and that he wasn't on the opposing side.

We have been a client of Lee’s for the last five years. He has helped us battle a nasty custody case. Not only is Lee easy to communicate with but he takes his cases to heart. Over the five year period that he has been our attorney he has always represented us to the best of his ability. If you want someone to be straight forward, honest, and guide you in the right legal direction, then Lee Dulaney is the attorney to seek.

He represented me in an EEO dispute with my employer. They were playing very dirty & trying to destroy a professional reputation I spent more than 10 years building. The employer used lies, manipulations such as pressuring my subordinates to file complaints about me or loose their own jobs to create a reason to fire me because I refused to participate in the illegal & unethical business practices my superiors were demanding I participate in. Mr. Beckham worked tirelessly to protect my job & my reputation by hitting the agency & the corrupt leadership from every angle possible, to include involving Congress & other federal officials in the matters that pertained to my employer's deliberate violations relating to federal laws & policies to include their attempts to force me to misuse taxpayer money. Without Mr. Beckham's foresight and preparations of ten steps ahead of their next moves, I would have been another statistic of the whistle blower that got stomped by "the man". But I am not, in fact I was compensated for the hell they put me through, the lies in my records were removed & the actions taken by this attorney had far reaching consequences for the leadership members who perpetrated this attack as the agency has now three years later been cleaned out of most of the major players at that federal agency.

I was lucky enough to be represented by Mr. Beckham in a criminal appeal (along with several other people he was representing in similar cases). I had been fined and sentenced to jail time beyond what was allowed by the law. Mr. Beckham did not stand for this! I learned, though my experience with him, that he is an honest and hardworking attorney who fights to get the best possible outcome for everyone he serves. He definitely proved this by the work he did my case (and from what I saw him do at the Court of Appeals in the other cases he argued on the same day). I was amazed when he prepared a 25-page written argument, on my behalf, which turned out to be irrefutable! And, when it came to the oral arguments in my case, he did an outstanding job when he took on the 3-Judge Panel at the Cheyenne River Sioux Court of Appeals. This is a hardworking attorney who I believe is a great legal thinker; it shows in his writing and arguing skills. I was lucky to have him in my corner fighting for me - I won.

dismissed. The case can be reviewed in the listing of Appellant cases on the Cheyenne River. He is quick, very intelligent, young and qAttorney Brandon Beckham was the attorney on a case here in the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribal Courts, Eagle Butte, SD where he was employed. He helped us file a Criminal Appeal Case that he won where Judge Gunville was retrying my son on a case that had already been dismissed. The case can be reviewed on the list of Appellant cases on the Cheyenne River. He is quick witted and very intelligent. On a scale of 1-10, I give him a 10. Thank you for giving us this time to recommend attorney Beckham. Vivian

FIGHT: exert oneself continuously, vigorously, or obtrusively to gain an end or engage in a crusade for a certain cause or person. Jarred Welborn has got the FIGHT. In a State (like Alabama) where I thought there was no possible way for a man to gain custody of his son, Welborn made it happen! He asked all of the right questions, collected every bit of information possible, put pressure on the opposition when needed, felt my "pain", listened to what I had to say and won the case. If you're in the middle of a family dispute, don't go anywhere else. Hire Jarred Welborn! I now consider him part of my family.

It felt good too have a consistent and stoic individual on my case facing my opponent and keeping my best interests in the forefront. It is obvious Jarred loves what he does, and with his wife on our team we were a force to be reckoned with. I am thankful for his services and will continue to use him now and in the future.

From getting my bogus DUI case completely dropped, to legal advice in business, to getting my divorce finalized in a timely manner, and stepping in when the state claimed I had fraudulently accepted unemployment claims- I had tried for weeks to settle that myself and prove my innocence. Chris did it almost overnight. If I ever need legal representation again, he's the only person I will put my faith in. Highly recommend Chris Childers.

I've used Ashley Morgan at Kirker Davis for several family law issues. I found her to be smart as hell, compassionate, hard working, and she posesses a great attention to detail. When I was initially seeking representation a few years ago, most of the attorneys I spoke to immediately suggested we go to war with the other side. Ashley listened to my goals, led the charge on an amicable divorce, even when the opposing parties were difficult, and the result was a legal bill that felt fair.

Jill along with her team was able to amend my divorce decree and correct the errors n the original court document. It was more than I could do and it was affordable, quick and professional. Jill represented me but worked with my Ex-wife to get all documents signed and sent to court to be notarized and finalized. I would definitely go to Jill for any family law matters in the future.

  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.

    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.
