I hired Ameet Habib several years ago when I was going through a divorce. Just recently I went through a custody battle with my ex over our teenage children and had Ameet represent me again. I am so thankful I did! He is so knowledgeable. He is honest, direct, yet still compassionate. Going through a custody battle was so emotionally straining, but Ameet was so great during this very stressful time. In court when I was weak he was my strength. Ameet is such an amazing speaker in court and is so great at what he does. I highly recommend him!

I entered in a custody battle, asking for joint legal/physical custody, with no intentions of hiring a lawyer. I was lost, scared, and had no idea of what to do so I met with Mr. Habib for a consult. From the moment I met with him, he was very direct and to the point and I hired him. He never gave me false hope, did not lie, or hide anything. Mr. Habib would advise me of his professional opinion and then ask me what I wanted to do, so he did everything with what I wanted in mind. I am not very good speaking in court and I messed up with my words and he was able to fix my mess up. The GAL was against joint legal/physical custody and its very hard to convince the judge to rule against the GAL and Mr. Habib was able to persuade the judge that what I was asking for was in the best interest of my son. After trial, there was an appeal, before the appeal we were came to an agreement and part of that agreement was to withdrawal the appeal and when the other party did not follow through with their part of the agreement, Mr. Habib withdrew our part of the agreement in order to turn their hand to get them to follow through with their part of the agreement. Mr. Habib is a very intelligent lawyer and is very good at what he does. I would recommend him to anyone that is in need of a custody lawyer. He does everything he says and goes far and beyond to get things done. In the end, I got what I asked for and what my child needed, joint legal/physical custody without either party paying child support. Thank you so much for helping me get through something that means so much and that was so hard and scary.

Mr. Habib is very professional. He will not lie to you, give you false hope or waste your time. Although he is extremely frank, Mr. Habib is Diligent, courteous and Considerate of what one may be going through. He is simply AMAZING! You get what you pay for! I recommend him to any and everyone who needs or wants a Honest and Reliable Family Law Attorney. I would choose him over and over again in the future if I ever needed his services again. He helped me get Sole Custody of my children (without even asking for it), with supervised visitation during the court continuances. He is truly a God sent Angel!

I am so thankful that I picked Stephanie to be the attorney by my side fighting for me at the most stressful time of my life. Stephanie Bernstein is a fantastic custody attorney. She is so knowledgeable, honest, responsive, hardworking and delivered the best possible results. I completely trust her advice. Attorney Bernstein could have made more money by going to court one last time but instead she created an amazing agreement that was 100% in my favor. I highly recommend her for any of your family court needs. She was extremely supportive and completely went above and beyond meeting all my legal needs entirely!

Attorney Bernstein has been my families attorney for the last 5 years. She has been amazing and won our trial for us. She was dedicated and worked tirelessly to win SOLE custody when no-one else thought that was possible. She went way above and beyond the call of duty as she took phone calls early in the morning or late at night. She stood by my family and gave advice at ANY TIME it was needed. She did not "nickel and dime" us for these calls and showed genuine care and concern each and every time we spoke with her. Attorney Bernstein was very knowledgeable and advised and prepared us before each hearing and throughout the many trial dates. Most importantly, Attorney Bernstein showed compassion. She is a brilliant lawyer who wins for her clients.

She kept in touch with me , checked on me to see how I was doing and taught me a lot of valuable life lessons along the way. She is by far one of the most humble and grounded individuals I have came across thus far and I would recommend her to anyone seeking legal help. She did everything in her power to help me through the hardest time in my life and for that , I will forever be grateful.

Hiring Mingy Bryant Ball to handle my child custody case was the best decision I've ever made . After years of frustrating experiences with other lawyers, she helped me to find a proper custody agreement that I'm very happy with . She was fair, honest and supportive all the way. I was losing custody of my child while battling complicated side effects from a very damaging and abusive relationship and she helped me to put my life back together and stand up for myself in a proper way. We have been out of court now for some time for the first time in years and I owe much to Mingy for helping me see my way through a very dark and confusing time. She has helped us all have a more fair and balanced exchange that is right for my child and keeps us at peace with each other long-term . That kind of peace is priceless to me. She was easy to understand , honest and explained each phase of our case to me clearly . She told me what I needed to do to. She's a life saver. Incredibly smart , easy to get along with and extremely honest - which is not my experience with all lawyers. I highly recommend her .

Mingy stood up for me in court, and won me the case. Without her, I would not be able to take my little girl to school in the mornings. By far the best lawyer I've come across, thank you Mingy Bryant.

She went to court on Monday morning, had the warrant and extradition recalled that morning, and worked non-stop to have him released in another state - all two days prior to July 4, with everyone else headed out of town. At the follow-up court hearing, all was dismissed. Janie was incredibly knowledgeable and prepared, which contributed greatly to the speed of handling the case. There are not enough stars for her.

In both instances, Taylor's commitment to my sense of justice, my future and correcting an error (per Army Regulations, AR 635-8 and AR 601-210) have done everything towards, what I believe standing up for a Lower Enlisted Soldier.

I hired Kevin Kelly In 2011 while I was enlisted in the military, stationed overseas, hadn’t seen my son in person for the better part of 2 years, and I was a single male at the time. Kevin always steered me in the right direction and warned me of all possible outcomes with my case. He always was straight forward and honest with me with everything, never leading me down a bad path once. I remember always getting off the phone with Kevin feeling a thousand times better knowing he was working his hardest for me. He always had my sons best interest in mind as well as mine. When it was all said and done I left the courthouse in absolute shock, Kevin had won me my case and more importantly got my son in my hands with custody in a stable home where I knew he was safe. I will forever be grateful for Kevin and the hours of hard work he put in for me.

Divorce isn't a fun process, but Charlie Meyer's knowledge and approach to a difficult situation made it a little easier. Unlike other attorneys I consulted, he didn't tell me what I wanted to hear but instead what was a fair and likely outcome (even if it wasn't 100% in my favor). He has a very patient, encouraging, and casual manner that put me at ease. Charlie always got back to me even in my most hysterical moments, often early in the morning, often on weekends. I believe he has a good sense of personalities as well-- understanding how much information a client needs and wants and knowing, too, when to keep some of the unimportant nonsense quiet. Needless to say he has extensive knowledge of the laws in quite a few counties in and outside Philadelphia, and he seems to have a good rapport with lawyers/ masters/ judges in a courtroom setting. If you're looking for a fair and balanced approach to your case--and for someone to put a lot of fight and effort into getting you what you deserve-- Charlie is a good choice.

Charlie Meyer has consistently been a supportive and knowledgeable resource. I have learned the value of his experience and benefitted from his ability to navigate family court. Charlie has always been fair and professional. What I appreciate most about Charlie’s council is his ability to balance being practical yet an advocate for his client. There have been times his advice regarding emotional matters like custody and support was not what I wanted to hear, but he shared his advice and listened to me. When it came time to go into court or negotiate with opposing council he demonstrated the ability to protect his client while always moving towards resolutions. Charlie has become a relationship that I value because of the good person he is, aside from a great attorney.

Samantha handled my divorce 2 years ago. On top of being an outstanding attorney, she was supportive, understanding, patient, and knew when to push me and when to "wrangle me in". She is truly an expert in Divorce and Separation and everything that falls under that umbrella. I have referred her to countless friends and acquaintances, many of which left their attorneys to find the successful outcomes with Samantha that they were not getting to otherwise. She is very resourceful and connected with others that help with the transition into divorce and being a single parent as well.

I just want to point out a couple of things regarding Mrs. Pulley. I have a very interesting case going on regarding custody that has had a lot of things happen. 1st of all, if you want someone who’s going to pay attention to you and tell you the truth as long as you’re upfront about your situation, this is the attorney to have. Crystal is very passionate about what she does and definitely does her research. Let me reiterate, she does her RESEARCH. I wasn’t paid to do this. I wasn’t asked to do this. This is just my experience with her as we navigate through my custody case. 2nd of all, any small changes within your case, she’s on top of it and will let you know. Regardless of the outcome of my case, I feel so comfortable dealing with Mrs. Pulley knowing that she’s putting her best foot forward to achieve a good resolution. I would personally highly recommend her for whatever custody issues you may be dealing with.

I am a father of two children. I retained Ms. Pulley because my ex-wife was falsely accusing me of being behind in child support and I was being denied the visitation rights that had been ordered by the court in my divorce decree. I was afraid of pursuing this matter in court because I feel that sometimes the courts may look upon the mother more favorably than the father. However, Crystal worked extremely hard on my case. Not only was she efficient, but she always remained professional no matter what the situation and she was good at explaining the various areas of the law that I didn't understand. In the end, she helped me resolve my case better than I could have ever dreamed I would be able to. I highly recommend her to anyone.

Patricia (Patti) LaFrance esq. Is an amazing attorney. She did a very nice job laying out exactly what my expectations should be during my divorce. She quickly ascertained the nature of my case and the unique challenges that I was left to deal with. She is particularly well versed and known for her advocacy in domestic violence cases. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised when our Judge knew her by first name and referred to her work when she was with the prosecutors office. The judge certainly seemed to value her legal arguments and opinions. Needless to say I got a more-than fair result in my divorce. If I should ever be in the unfortunate need for an attorney then Patti is the very first person I am going to call. Thank you Patti for your incredible effort.

Patricia had the issue resolved for us within a couple months and our claim was paid in full.

I am a retired military veteran. I met Jessica Martin over 4 years ago and asked her for representation concerning my divorce. I forewarned her this was not going to be so easy, given the fact that it was a 26.5-year military marriage. To my surprise, she is a military spouse. During the entire process, Jessica was vigilantly engaged. I cannot speak highly enough concerning her outstanding work ethic, communication skills, professionalism, loyalty, and flexibility to shift gears at a moment's notice. She always exceeded my expectations. Jessica has always gone beyond regarding my incredibly involved divorce situation. She and I during the last four plus years have built an outstanding business relationship. Open two-way communication concerning any job is key. Jessica completely understands the power of this and has placed this tradition at the top of her establishment. It was an exceedingly difficult, trying, an emotional 3 1/2-year challenge. At the end of the day, we won. I highly recommend Anchor Family Law Firm, and encourage anyone that hires them, let them do their job. Keep the communication lines open and do your best to work harmoniously together. An example of her exceptional work ethic and friendship. Well after my divorce was final, property of mine for sale via consignment sold. However, once the owner of the company found out I moved out of that state, he would not mail me the check from the sale. I called and spoke with him six times, each time he made excuses. I called Jessica and explained the situation. I personally did not believe given the situation I was ever going to receive my money. To my surprise, one month later, a check with the entire amount was in my mailbox. I cannot overemphasize how professional, friendly, encouraging, and positive she is. Due to everything she and I experienced, along with belonging to the military, Jessica truly has become family to me.

It is a rare occurrence for an individual, or a team, to impress me with their knowledge, diligence, service, and expertise, all at the same time. Therefore, I am obliged to commend the efforts of Heather Visali and the staff of the Lasky Law Office. With my divorce settled and just a custody agreement to iron out, I am far from a high priority client for the group, but you would never know it by the level of service and professionalism I receive from the group day after day. In this complex time in my life, my attorney, Heather, has a rare and enviable ability to offer solutions and guidance through this turbulent process for both my near and long term goals. The legal advice she provides for me isn’t mere opinion, but diagnosis and prescription. Over the past two years Heather has become much more than just my “lawyer,” she is my legal physician, who has kept me legally healthy through litigiously turbulent times which included an injunction, a divorce and custody battle. Heather is a legal specialist who goes above and beyond what any other lawyer would care to worry about. I don’t worry about my case, because Heather is doing it for me. Heather has made herself available on weekends, evenings, and even on her personal vacations; she truly cares about my case. Denise and Stephanie do not escape my accolades either. Their enthusiasm and genuine warmth when I call or come in is welcoming and comforting. Their approach to servicing my case is nothing short of what you received when you visited grandmother as a young child. They too, go above and beyond what their duties prescribe. Going so far as to stay late 30 minutes on a Friday just to help me by getting a notarized form from me that I needed for the filing of my case, and all without a complaint. It is gestures like those that have alleviated the pressure I was under on that very hectic day. They offer descriptive articulation to my questions, which proves very effective. In short, kudos to the Lasky Law Group: Heather, Denise, Stephanie, and Judy, for exceptional and proficient knowledge and service. They excel at what they do and through their diligence and dedication to their customers and our concerns, and thanks to their significant contribution, they enhance the Lasky Law brand like no marketing campaign or trial record could ever hope to achieve. Thank you for providing me with a team who demonstrates true commitment to their clients. Their diligence and dedication to our legal health is what makes Lasky Law Firm great.

Grace was very flexible with my schedule (I work out of town) and kept me informed on the status of my case in a very unpleasant situation with my ex-husband. Her willingness to go the extra mile helped me be able to have the situation addressed and settled in court with most of my requests being granted by the court. Grace even worked on my case while she was on vacation with her family (this was WAY more than I had ever expected). She is a lawyer with integrity and honesty that is not often heard of in her profession. I would and have recommended Grace to other's in need of someone with her skills.

Grace Ogburn represented me in my divorce 9 months ago. It was a very hard thing for me to go through. Grace was very helpful, and super informative. She put my mind at ease. She was very knowledgeable, caring, and SHE LISTENED to me. I truly believed that Grace made it easier for me to get through this. Of course, going through the divorce was still painful, but Grace helped cushion he blow. I recommended a friend to Grace. I know she is in good hands!

Grace Ogburn was professional, caring, understanding and awsome! She listened to me, did not judge, did all she could to help me in my situation, was very honest, fair, up to date with the laws. Let me tell you, she did a GREAT job! I couldn't have been happier with the outcome of my case. Grace stepped up to the plate and hit it out of the park! I have recomended her to everyone who I know who needs legal advice or a GREAT attorney. I was so amazed by her great attitude, willingness to help and her compassion. She loves her job and helping people and it truely shows. She responded to ALL my calls, emails, text messages. Her ability to do the job accurate without error or questions was amazing. She knew what she was doing every step of the way. She let me know the progress of my case every step of the way. She went over in length what was going to be done, how it was going to be done and made sure I was comfortable with it, agreed and approved it. She was so honest when she billed me. Shes fair, honest, kind, smart, very kind and a wonderful person to have on your side! I highly recomend her if you want your case to go YOUR way, the fair, honest and descent way.

There arent enough words to express how much of an AMAZING Attorney Michael is. He sets the bar on the level of communication he has with his clients. He takes so much pride in his ability to fight for his client, that he studies each and every word in your case. There were details he remembered that I had informed him of, and as I thought I was notifying him for the first time, he finished my update all on his own, remembering every little detail, as if it happened directly to him. I forgot I had already relayed the update, but I cant even begin to describe the overwhelming feeling of comfort to know Michael was not just my attorney, he was someone who genuinely cared about me and my kids. We went to our hearing, Michael all prepared and excited to represent me, evidence and notes in one hand and confidence in the other. Michael is not a very tall man by any means, but the fight he had inside of him, the fight he used defending and representing me, was one of an army from Sparta!! As a mom, going through court against my kids father, who instigated constant chaos, is that last and the hardest situation you ever want to face in general, however, just to know that Michael was in my corner fighting with and for me and my kids, made this situation a bit easier to handle. Thank you Michael, from the bottom of my heart. You will surely be missed at Westover!!

I hired Laura after interviewing a few lawyers and I have not regretted my decision to hire her. Laura helped me with a difficult custody case and was very knowledgeable not only in family law but understood the financial issues very well and she also advised me about custody violations. I will not hesitate to recommend Laura to anyone in a divorce. She was focused in the trials and didn't waste time on the irrelevant information, that my wife's attorney raised again and again. All along, Laura helped me focus on the main and relevant issues in the case. She was empathetic and understood well the financial issues and co-parenting issues I faced. She thought through every question that I raised and answered in clear English. I trusted her to guide me through the most difficult and challenging time in my life. Laura knows what she is doing and I am happy with the settlement she negotiated for me.

Laura has helped me with several matters, covering a wide range of legal issues, over the past decade. She is very knowledgeable, skilled, and most importantly she is very responsive - she always returns my calls and emails promptly. She handles matters professionally and has excellent morals but is a "fighter" when she needs to be, and always has good advice on the right strategy to take. My job has had me work with several attorneys over the years, and that experience has shown me how exceptional Laura is compared to the rest. I can't recommend her highly enough.

First and foremost, my deepest appologies to post my review of my complete "gratefulness" to my attorney Karen Suri ESQ is long over due. It does takes me quite a while to bounce back, speak or think about court and my Child Custody situation each time. If any parent out there is like me and values there children to the fullest and wants only the best outcome for there children, then you should retain attorney Karen Suri! She is absolutely very professional, knowledgable in her scope of practice, skillfull with different types of people and personalities, understanding, personable and comforting to you as a client to understand everything your up against in your case as a whole. Karen is a very strong and knowledgeable attorney to have by your side and you can be confident that she will do her "absolute best to fight for you" for the best outcome for your case!! Karen Suri goes the extra mile to help you and I cannot be more thankful for having such a GREAT attorney help fighting for my children and setting matters straight. I am a single parent and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

Karen Suri is an incredibly empathetic and patient guide through the difficult, complex, and confusing world of family law.

So I hired the lawyer Karen Suri this year for a modification of a restraining order/ visitation for my son. In this case I was the respondent for the case. Honestly, she was great, she answered all my questions in a timely manner and assisted me with those tough and private questions I had. Since this isn't my scope of practice I had a lot of questions :). She arrived promptly the day of the hearing and has kept me up to date with what is still left pending on my case. She even went above and beyond to contact the opposing party to explain the the details of the case. She was great and I would definitely recommend her!

I went through 6 lawyers who talked a lot but didn't or wouldn't do anything for my situation. Within two weeks of hiring Mr. Kennedy, he did more for me and my custody case than the last 8 years. He knows what he is talking about and doing. I would never recommend any other lawyer. If you need help, I highly recommend Mr Kennedy.

As a father in the middle of a divorce, Mr Kennedy's judicial knowledge and ability to navigate the divorce court system made this very difficult period bearable. His understand of father (and mother) rights is second to none. There isn't an attorney in Omaha that I would trust more with my personal legal matters than Mr Kennnedy. On top of this knowledge and experience, his rates and time are very fair and reasonable. Do yourself a favor and utilize this attorney for your legal needs, you will have peace of mind knowing you've hired the best man for the job.

Amazing results!! I am so thankful for the team of Shelly Jean John and Stephen John and their excellent partnership as they managed my case to end the alimony payments to the ex-spouse. Stephen’s paralegal writing was excellent as he created the Request for Order for my case and took the time to ask me the detailed questions needed to present the facts needed by the courts. Shelly’s partnership with me was appreciated, her team’s timely communications kept me up to date as the case progressed through the courts, and the judge for my case worked well with Shelly also-always a plus! After 7 long years of paying alimony Shelly’s team was able to get it reduced to half the original amount for 1 more year and then ZERO after that. I’m done, no more alimony payments!! I recommend Shelly’s team because of the amazing results!!

  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.
