Bohdan Zelechiwsky and his paralegal Rosemary go above and beyond to help their clients. He is phenomenal in court. We have made tremendous strides since retaining him as our attorney for custody and PFA cases. He is both caring and compassionate. He is also very knowledable on the laws and procedures in the court room. I highly recommend him and have referred multiple friends and family members who are also very pleased with his work.

John Grubb is that rare mixture of honesty, intelligence, integrity and wisdom. In working with John I knew that he would do everything he could to get the best possible outcome for my children's future, and for me after being a stay-at-home Mom for many years. I have 3 children and one of them is special needs. John procured for us a judgement that will allow me to continue to be available to take care of all my children well beyond the typical alimony allowance and one that will provide lifetime support for my special needs child. My case was complicated, communication with the other party was difficult, and it went to trial. Throughout the process, Mr. Grubb and all the associates I worked with in his office kept me up to date, answered all my questions, explained the processes thoroughly, were sympathetic and honest, and respected my wishes regarding things to be revealed during the trial. There are many attorneys who know the law, but I wouldn't trust my future to anyone else in the courtroom.

Mr. Grubb and his paralegal Holly provided me an exemplary level of representation with my divorce / child custody case. They come very well prepared, approach your case with no preconceived notions about stereotypical / classic outcomes, and work tirelessly to make sure your case is presented completely and fairly. Where you child is involved, I realize there is absolutely zero room for error - feeling this way, I highly recommend Mr. Grubb to handle your most delicate family law needs.

John Grubb helped me with a horrible situation with my divorce where I was about to lose everything in the 1st Court of Appeals. Within in 5 minutes of talking to John, I knew I had picked the right lawyer. He understood my case, analyzed the problem, and offered a terrific solution that I did not even think was possible. He provided me hope where there was no hope. I recommend John without hesitation!

Her knowledge and insight into the family law court system were invaluable. Her focus is the best interest of the child. I could not have achieved such a successful outcome without her!

It's very difficult to trump the first two reviews - they pretty much said it all about Caitlin. But here goes... First of all, if you have never been through a divorce before, I pray that if you have to, your soon to be ex will not put you through a contentious battle, most especially if there are children involved. Because believe you me, if you think you have any idea of what lies ahead for you, think again. There is no amount of hyperbole that can describe how insane the family law court system is. The bottom line, it's all about making money off of vulnerable, despondent, and already stressed out people. These lawyers DO NOT care about you, or your children. They only care about running up their bill and making money. They will do whatever they can (often times in collusion with the opposing counsel) to add and/or create even more conflict in your divorce because more conflict means more money for them and their firms. Again, if you think I'm just bitter and exaggerating, go online (Google, YouTube, etc...) and do the research for yourself. An ugly divorce/custody battle often leads to suicide, bankruptcy, loss of job, depression, illness, etc... So please people - don't do this to yourself and most especially please don't do this to your kids! Part ways peacefully, because if you don't, you will regret it for the rest of your life. This is why I am glad I used this angel of an attorney throughout the majority of my long divorce/custody battle. She cares about her clients and most especially their children (she's a LMFT to boot!). She is not in it for the money and will do everything she can to save you from a long, drawn out battle. She is honest, empathetic, compassionate and is a person with the utmost integrity. Caitlin will not allow her clients to debase themselves and play dirty no matter how vicious and perjurious the opposition gets. I'm so happy at day's end that I used her for the majority of my long, drawn out battle. For she helped me keep my soul and my own integrity and at day's end, I can look back and be proud someday that I never debased myself (most importantly for my child as well). If you want a mean, nasty bulldog of an attorney (btw, they are really really really expensive!!!) than by all means do NOT hire Caitlin. However, if you are looking for a honest, compassionate HUMAN BEING to help you, then please give her a call. She will always do what's best for you her client. She will never gouge you with fees, and will fight opposing counsel with compassionate logic that sooner or later will break them down. I call her the Mahatma Gandhi of divorce attorneys!

Caitlin Burgess represented me at a settlement conference and did a stellar job detailing the facts to a seasoned judge. Her mannerisms are of the utmost in professionalism and her knowledge of the family law system is vast. Her background in psychology as a licensed marriage and family therapist is an added bonus for there are many aggressive litigants who unfortunately have a pathology which the opposing side must deal with, sometimes in ongoing litigation which lasts for years. Ms. Burgess was able to formulate a tactical plan of approach to settlement, utilizing her expertise in several areas to bring the litigation to a close without causing me to have to shoulder the expensive and time consuming burden of a trial. There is something to be said for representation that is so client-centered. If I could give someone new to divorce proceedings advice, I would caution them to stay away from the big firms and call Caitlin first. I was originally represented by one of the firms in San Jose. They felt a bit like a Mafia; only I, as their client, was the target! I spent a large amount of money with very little result. I found I could do better with an attorney like Caitlin in my corner. The big firms are clearly after people's money in a very high-conflict time between former partners. They actually encourage the aggressive litigant and do as much as they can to pad up their bills. Ms. Burgess is completely against this behavior and practices with honesty, integrity, and professionalism. Over the course of her representation, she fought hard and succeeded in winning me the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Ms. Burgess for your legal needs. Call her and schedule a consultation. You will not be disappointed.

Travers and Travers literally brought our family together. We had a rather unique experience, but Travers & Travers helped us through it every step of the way. We live in South Dakota and needed a referral for a lawyer in Texas. My sister is an attorney and asked around and everyone we talked to suggested Travers and Travers. So we took a leap of faith and it paid off for us big time. My initial phone call was with Sherrie and she immediately made me feel at ease. Travers & Travers took our case head on and did not stop until we brought our daughter home. They were very professional, but were also very human and friendly- that was very important to me. Mack went with us to court and mediation and he was able to keep us calm while waiting in between everything. He was very well spoken and had good charisma in the court room. Allison and Annilee worked on the background information, researching and helping us gather the information we needed to win our case. Travers & Travers explained things to us in terms we could understand, they were willing and able to answer any questions we had and never made us feel like we were bothering them. They were also very willing to work with us on our ability to pay for their services. Travers and Travers worked on our case as a family so anytime we needed anything; someone was there to help out. When our case was finished, Travers & Travers were more than just our lawyers, they were friends. They all had our best interests at heart the entire time. I know most people’s situations will be different than ours, but if you want a lawyer that is truly looking out for you, I would highly recommend Travers & Travers. Their kindness and willing to work hard for us, brought our daughter home and we will forever be grateful for them.

It goes without saying that going through a divorce, child custody battle and determining child support is an emotional time that can cause both parents to act irrationally. In our years working with Dona, she has always been fair, understanding and helped us to not make rash decisions. Her own life experiences give her the firsthand experience needed to give effective and unbiased counsel. She's a fighter and will go to the ends of the earth to make sure her clients are treated fairly and with respect. She's a great listener, which is an incredible trait to have in a lawyer so that you feel like you're truly being heard. I highly recommend Dona, and although I hope to never have to go through the process again - she would be my first choice if something happened.

My first attorney represented me in family court. I paid over $7,000 and got nowhere! My brother recommended Sandra Spennato so I cut ties with the 1st attorney, collected my files and started again from scratch with Sandra. Immediately, she listened to my current situation, listened to my goals, and put together a custom plan while also managing my expectations on what is realistic in the eyes of NY law. 1st thing she did was a discovery phase (which my former attorney NEVER did) looking at my ex's bank records which put us in a favorable position. She fought hard and in much less than a year (**during COVID**) we had the terms agreed to involving my daughter and my finances. If only I had been introduced to her in the first place, would have been A LOT less stress, a lot less time, and a lot less money wasted. I truly understand the importance of having a smart savvy deal maker that knows the laws inside and out in my corner. Without hesitance, I wholeheartedly recommend Sandra.

I hired Sandra Spennato to help me obtain custody of my son. She is very knowledgeable and also quite the tactician. Sandra did not sell me a dream and false hope. She told me the cold hard truth every time we met and that is what I need. I have experienced lawyers that have sold me false truths and have only been interested in draining my wallet dry. She is nothing like that. I have never met a more understanding and passionate attorney. She understood the circumstances I was faced with in my case and she helped keep my emotions in check. I had to swallow a few hard pills but Sandra always made it tolerable after explaining why swallowing those pills could work in our favor. She has been right so far and I will continue to trust her advise and her knowledge of the law. We’re still working on my case but I trust in Sandra to help me keep fighting for what I hold most dear. MY SON! I’m thankful to have her on my side.

I was very fortunate to have Sandra on my case. I had a custody case with my son’s father. In the beginning of this case i had no education about the legalities when it comes to custody but Sandra helped me through it all, explained every single detail to me until I was able to understand it and to make a wise decision. She was very helpful, caring and informative. Sandra made it her business to fight for me and made sure I was happy and comfortable with the outcome. With Sandra we prevailed and came to an agreement with my case.

That is a lot more than can be said about other attorneys who just want to settle cases and move on. Now that I am a small business owner doing business with Mr. Salvado and his entire practice has been at a delight. I consult with him about legal aspects of my business and he is always able to produce proper legal advice.

Susan sat down with my husband and me and was very understanding and informative. She helped us get everything we wanted. We won our case! She is very professional and just having her on your side makes you feel more at ease about the whole process. If we ever need a family attorney again, there is no one else we would even consider retaining.

Susan and Jennifer made my whole process run smoother than I could've hoped even tho they were fighting against the grain because of another attorney in my service that never followed thru.

When I felt hopeless about what to do with my divorce and how I could deal with my divorce's nightmare, I found Bob Eustice. He was prompt, efficient, careful, professional, and the best lawyer I could ever ask for to help me with the most uneventful in the best of words kind of divorce. When I thought my life was falling apart, Bob gave me a perfect sense of “ things will be ok.” He gave me the confidence that I could go through that because he is exceptional in everything he does! I will be forever grateful for having him as my lawyer in one of the most painful chapters of my life! Thank you, Bob!

Bob came recommended to me by a trusted friend, and he did not disappoint. Going through a divorce is hard enough without worrying about your legal representation. With Bob, there was never a worry. He listened to my problems, and worked with me to make sure I was happy with the end result. In fact, he advocated for me more strongly than I was willing to do for myself.

Bob Eustice was a superb divorce attorney. Though I had significant concerns about going through this process with anyone, Bob was knowledgeable, honest, and his primary goal was to make this process go as smoothly as possible. He was also efficient and did not make any attempts to inflate the expenses.

I never had to use a lawyer before this year. I am glad I chose Ben Rand for several reasons: 1- I did not understand the severarity of the case and the implications if would have on me in the long run 2-Ben made the legal process very easy to understand and put me at the ease the entire time 3.He checekd in regularly to make sure everything was on track and was available to me anytime of the day 4-His quality of service, responsiveness and integrity were beyond my expectations.

Ben is not just a lawyer, but he is a friend. He is very honest, even if it's not what you want to hear. He is respectful, and understands what's best for you, and your family. He is not one of those lawyers who will just take your money, and tell you anything. If it's a waste of time, and money he'll tell you. Mr. Rand has represented me several times, and I will be the first to say that He was worth every $$$$. It's hard to find good people now days. If you call Mr. Rand you got yourself a good lawyer, and friend!!!!

Hello, my name is Cory. Larry P. Schaubhut, Jr. was my attorney I chose to represent me when I took my ex spouse back to court in an attempt to get custody of my children. Larry Jr. exceeded all my expectations. I really felt like he was part of the family; Uncle Larry. He and his team were a blessing. Larry Jr. is the best attorney I have ever used and we won our case and I was awarded custody of my kids! I highly recommend using Larry Jr for all your legal needs. Should I need an attorney in the future there is no one I would rather have represent me than Larry Jr. Larry, thanks again for everything!

I am so appreciative of the difficult work Larry put into my case he’s honest and very trustworthy. Thank you, for your time and your compassion for everything I went through. Larry fought for my case, and finally I able to get closure on my custody battle, I am more then please with the outcome. He’s knowledgeable and brilliant he took the weight off my shoulders. He was great about keeping me informed with every aspect of the case, and if needed his paralegal was able to walk me through everything that came up. Larry is defiantly dedicated to his job and does an outstanding job at it. I can honestly say he is the best attorney and I highly recommend him.

I cannot possibly have enough amazing things to say about Simon Marle and his entire staff. It’s not only about the lawyer, but the support and staff behind it for me. I called Simon’s office one night, over a year ago in desperation of where to turn and what to do. If you are not a lawyer, and you are involved in any kind of legal case, things can be very overwhelming and knowing what steps to take can be tricky. I called around 6pm and Simon Marle, himself answered the front desk phone. I was very thrown off, because typically lawyer/attorneys will not handle those kinds of matters. He gave me a free consultation about 20-25 minutes on my case. Was VERY straightforward, honest, and to the point. I put my trust in him, and I have NOT been disappointed in any way. His staff, Taylor, Samantha, and Lisa truly care about the clients and really spend their time being personal with you. I love that they address me by name and not by “client”. Samantha has bent over backwards to contact other parties for me and you can tell she put’s her time into her job. She is always on top of it, super respectful and goes above and beyond. Not one time, have I been brushed off or felt like I was being annoying or I have been to well over 5-7 court hearings with Simon. Each time we have gone, it has been a complete satisfactory outcome IF not more. Simon has always been a very caring and honest man. It is really hard to find people now that do not take advantage, or who really just do not spend time with your case. He personally will pull out a file and go line by line with you and explain and questions, details you may have missed or anything you do not understand. I think for me, the best is that it runs as a family unit, and when you are dealing with family courts/judicial issues, having the same mindset in your company, reflects when the clients are in person. He is affordable and I am so very grateful that I decided to go with him. I recommend him to ANY and all my friends and family who ask for recommendations. Simon has had experience in this for decades, and you can tell because his presence in court is respected very much not only by the judges and the staff but also by the other attorneys. Anyone I have ever asked in regards to him, has had nothing but positive things to say. He will not let you be stepped on in court, and he puts time and effort into every case he has. I can see that he is passionate about his career and what he does for people. Simon has been a major influence and change in my families life and we will forever be thankful for him and his entire staff.

I couldn't believe what had just happened to me, I was accused of a felony for shoplifting. No matter how I tried to explain the situation,I was ridiculed and mocked. I felt helpless and scared then I had a free consultation with Simon. Talking to him was easy and I knew I wanted him on my side. I talked to my husband about the consultation and we wasted NO time hiring him. A visit to his office to discuss my situation, he immediately found an error in the paperwork from the police. Simon was so on top of the case. He put me at ease. We went to court and he didn't let any the store security get away with anything. I'm not sure we were even in front of the judge 15 minutes when my case was dismissed !! I hope I never have to go to court again but if I should. You better believe I will have Simon next to me. There aren't words to discribe my gratitude .

Mr. Marle accepted my case and situation after a few questions but without a big hassle. What caught my attention about him was that he called me back and listened to me and seemed to quickly pick up what I was going through. He is very straightforward and has a very open and welcoming feel in his office. He is thorough and detailed. My case is not over but so far, Id recommend him.

Michelle was attentive to my needs and always kept me well informed. It was a contentious divorce from the start and Michelle did a tremendous job with the many "curve balls" throughout the case. In the end, I was satisfied with the result and would definitely hire Michelle in any of her specialties.

We may have lost a battle but we won the war, with that being said, Ms. Nace was very straight forward. She provided with her team, a family feeling from the team. She went above and beyond for my case with listening to everything I had to say. Every time I would call or send an email I would get a fast response and a honest one. The reason I choose this law firm was due to me speaking to someone a few years back at the firm and based on the phone conversation was the reasoning in reaching out again because I felt good vibes through a phone call that made me know they weren't here for anything other then the best for me. We went before the judge and presenting our case and reasons and even though the outcome wasn't what we expect, she didn't give up. She informed me what I could do and after thinking about it I reached out and explained my plan as such. She went above and beyond and I couldn't ask for anyone else. She was well prepared and stood and fought. She keeps positive enegry with and around her. You know you're in good hands and a positive one as well. She kept me up to date with every move she was making and everything that was being communicated between her and her team. I couldn't thank her more for the effort and time she put into hearing me and working my case. She's a delight and wonderful person. Thank you for your hard work and dedication for my son and I. You're truly a blessed person.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

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:

    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.

    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.

    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.
