I was looking for a Family Law Attorney to help me with enforcing my Divorce Decree and during my search this was the only law firm during intake that took the time to look at my case file and find my ex had filed a request for order to try and take custody away from me. Right from the getgo Eric and Lanie were on point with walking me through the process and providing factual evidence to support my case. Eric was very levelheaded and knowledgeable during the hearing and the judge sided with us. I will from now on be utilizing Eric and his team from this point forward with all my legal matters.

I am beyond pleased with my experience as Atty. Eric Schneider was my representative for my case today for the extention of the DVRO. I highly recommend Eric Schneider, he is smart, knowledgable, thorough and attentive throughout the process. Having a lawyer who pays close attention to detail can make a significant difference. That's really important, especially when safety is a concern. Eric made sure everything where the law is concerned is followed and carried out. He continues to be a great resource when I have questions and responds quickly. I would highly recommend Eric Scnheider. I am beyond pleased with my experience. Thank you Eric Schneider for your assistance.

To start, no one knows what to expect going into a dirty divorce. Mrs. Brianna Davis and her team were referred to me by another highly reputable attorney. She is a powerful and well respected counsel but above all that, she is a dynamic human being with feelings. In the midst of emotional chaos, she provided me clarity. When i saw gray, she made sure to spell out the black and white for me. Brianna made sure to dot all i’s and cross every t in an uphill battle that seemed never-ending. Above all, she truly cares. She cared about my well being and the well being of my children in a terrible domestic violence case. I’m not sure what to expect from an attorney as I had never had the need to hire one but what i do know is that Brianna helped me navigate a world of unknowns and she did it right - deliberately and quickly. I am forever grateful to her and her team. She is highly respected in the legal community and her firm approach has proven successful. She is the backbone and spine I never knew I needed.

I had a good experience with Anton and his associate attorney Emilia. I would recommend this firm. Anton is very smart and fights for his clients. He came up with a very good strategy to defend me. The firm was financially reasonable but, most importantly, they took the time for me, took my case seriously, and treated me with kindness and respect. I have been through a terrible legal ordeal and Anton gave me peace of mind and advocated successfully for my rights throughout. I have had very disappointing experiences with other attorneys in the past. So I can truly say: When one finds a good attorney it is simply golden. Highly recommended.

Mr. Sawin helped me during a particularly stressful time when my divorce agreement and child support were being modified. He was very straightforward and responsive. His office staff and junior attorneys were kind and helpful. There were multiple challenges related to my case, including Covid-19. At the end of it all, I had the result that I wanted. I am very grateful for the peace of mind that I had knowing that he was representing my interests throughout an emotionally trying time. I will also add that choosing him to represent me for the modification was one of the best decisions that I made - I believe having a strong advocate with experience in the local courts allowed for a quick resolution.

I had the opportunity to work with Attorney Lianna Garza Smith and her team during a challenging and extended divorce process, and I am extremely thankful for their effective and strategic support. After transitioning from another attorney, Lianna took over my case and made a significant impact with her prompt and efficient handling. Lianna swiftly assessed the complexities of my situation and developed a clear, strategic plan. Her timely and thorough approach was crucial, particularly when we needed to address the temporary orders hearing before the final decree. She ensured that all necessary steps were taken promptly to secure interim arrangements that supported my child's well-being and stability. A key focus of my case was child custody, and Lianna was exceptional in managing this sensitive issue. She concentrated on helping me establish protective parenting arrangements, advocating effectively to ensure a stable and secure environment for my son throughout the process. Lianna’s extensive knowledge of family law and her strategic insight were evident from the start. She provided direct, actionable advice and was consistently available to answer my questions and address my concerns. If you need a divorce attorney who is both efficient and committed to achieving effective protective parenting arrangements, including handling temporary orders hearings, I highly recommend Attorney Lianna Garza Smith. Her expertise and focus on my child’s well-being were crucial in reaching a favorable outcome.

As a former client of Attorney Heinle, this exceptional divorce attorney, I am thrilled to share my experience with others who may be in need of competent and compassionate legal representation. Here are some key highlights of my experience: Exceptional efficiency: Attorney Heinle was extremely efficient in handling my case, which helped keep my costs down while ensuring that everything was done in a timely manner. Attorney Heinle swiftly recognized the tactics employed by the opposing counsel to prolong the legal proceedings and inflate their billing. Additionally, Attorney Heinle skillfully avoided unproductive conversations that solely aimed to escalate attorney fees. Strategic approach: He took a strategic approach to my case, which resulted in a favorable outcome that exceeded my expectations. Clear communication: He was always available to answer my questions and provide clear guidance on the legal process, which helped me feel informed and in control throughout the entire proceedings. Genuine care: His empathy and genuine care for me as a person, not just as a client, made the entire process less daunting and overwhelming. Unmatched legal expertise: His extensive knowledge and expertise in family law was evident in every aspect of my case, from negotiations to courtroom proceedings. Overall, I highly recommend Attorney Heinle to anyone facing a difficult divorce. His exceptional efficiency, strategic approach, clear communication, genuine care, and unmatched legal expertise are unparalleled. Thank you for everything you did for me! My only wish is that I found you sooner and did not have to waste so much time and money on my first attorney that always seemed more interested in running up the bill instead of resolving the matter in a timely manner.

Heather Fig is an outstanding Attorney. She should be awarded the highest rating that any rubric offers. She is ethical, extremely hard working, eminently knowledgeable, dedicated, and caring. She is familiar with every detail of my case and the law. She applies herself so completely that one would think she’s working for a relative. Honestly there should literally be a line at her office to procure her representation. She’ll restore your good name if you are wrongly accused. Her reputation in the courthouse proceeds her. People actually stand back and say ooh when they hear that you have Heather Fig defending you. Seriously, if you don’t pick her to represent you you’re making a mistake. Her staff is equally terrific. She would never surround herself with anything but the best. Working with her has been a genuine source of inspiration.

Laura was so supportive, knowledgeable, and kind. I always felt that she had my best interests and the interests of our family as her primary concern. She helped me through an incredibly difficult time and I would absolutely recommend you reach out to her if you are seeking collaborative counsel!

I am so glad to have had Laura Thudium as an attorney as I entered the collaborative approach to a dissolution. She brought a network of professionals who have a depth of expertise to deal with the intricacies of sorting the end of a marriage. We were assisted by a financial advisor, a home loan facilitator, a pension fund expert, and a loan company versed in dissolution financing. The legalities of a dissolution are deep and baffling. Laura was in constant contact while we worked through the process. When all the information was finalized our petition was accepted without a hitch. Laura was so efficient in the use of her time, that there was a pretty good chunk of my retainer left. Woohoo!

Lisa was extremely helpful throughout my divorce process. While this was a “mutual consent” divorce with no minor children or alimony issues, it was a relief to have a resource such as Lisa to guide me throughout the process. She was always responsive and supportive.

Missy & Megan came through in true time of need. Missy was referred to me through a friend, and I am so glad I went with her. Missy was informative about my divorce, emergency custody and custody. Megan was able to represent me in court and came prepared with all the documents needed to present to the judge. I never had to second guess any work, and they always kept me up to date on any upcoming court dates or rulings we received. I even called in for minor questions and Megan was always available to quickly answer. Megan, Missy and Lisa are a great team! I truly appreciate them.

I was in a car accident and contacted SeiferFlatow attorneys. They immediately had their Case Manager Todd contact me. Todd walked me through the whole process and kept me informed throughout the process. Adam Seifer also made phone calls to insurance companies and kept me up to date. The whole experience was easy and professional. My case was handled swiftly and within a very short time was settled. I highly recommend SeiferFlatow.

I can’t thank Attorney Boyd enough for her dedication, expertise, and relentless fight for fairness. Before finding her, I had fired three previous attorneys who were essentially allowing me to get screwed. The odds were stacked against us, and we had to fight false allegations and corrupt system, but through strategic game-planning, thorough depositions, and her sharp courtroom presence, she turned the case around. She is a true advocate for fathers' rights, ensuring that the truth prevailed and that I had a fair chance in court. Because of her efforts, I have 50/50 custody. I just spent Christmas and my son's birthday with him, something I once feared wouldn't be possible. Words can’t describe how much that means to me. From start to finish, she was prepared, confident, and relentless in defending my rights as a father. If you need a strong, knowledgeable, and results-driven attorney who truly cares, I highly recommend Attorney Boyd.

Spent thousands of dollars with this firm and got nothing but excuses and over promises. They would even cancel meetings and when I got the final bill, they’d charge me for when when they canceled the meetings. Makes no sense. Now it’s Christmas and I don’t have my daughter. I would not recommend them. Happy to share the invoice with anyone interested. Such a shame :(

After my dad passed away in April 2024, my mom and I filed for Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) through the VA. Despite working with a VA liaison and following up for 10 months, we received no real updates—just that the claim was still pending. Then, my mom received a notice from the VA, which she mistakenly believed was a denial of the DIC claim. Unfortunately, even the local VA liaison misinterpreted it, causing a lot of confusion. Given that my dad’s passing was clearly linked to his disability, we realized we needed legal representation and turned to James Comerford. From our first conversation, James took the time to listen, understand our situation, and guide us through the process. Initially, we thought we needed to file a rebuttal, but after investigating, he discovered the VA had actually misinformed us—the claim was still being processed. He assured us he would follow up, and shortly after, he called with the great news: the claim had been approved. Not only did he get us answers, but he also knew exactly when my mom would receive her benefits, including back pay. When I asked James what we owed him, he refused payment—he was simply happy my mom received what she deserved. Even after I insisted, he suggested we make a donation to a charity instead, which we did. His generosity, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients truly set him apart. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and compassionate attorney who will fight for you and keep you informed every step of the way, I highly recommend James Comerford. He’s not just a great lawyer—he’s a good person who truly cares -Gary Hahn

She got the situation resolved to my liking very quickly and efficiently, despite the opposition's flair for invented drama and false statements. Truthfully, most lawyers don't take on contentious case like mine in short notice but Attorney Massaro is on top of her game and went above and beyond. I highly recommend.

I am incredibly grateful for the legal assistance I received from Sara in handling my traffic offenses. From the moment I reached out to her, she was incredibly strategic and prepared, giving me the confidence that my case was in good hands. She took the time to thoroughly explain the process, making sure I understood every step, and her responsiveness to my questions was exceptional. No matter how small or urgent my inquiry was, she always got back to me promptly with clear, detailed answers. What stood out most was her professionalism; she navigated the legal complexities with ease and kept me informed at all times. Additionally, her extensive network of connections within the legal field was invaluable, helping ensure the best possible outcome. She was not only insightful and knowledgeable but also genuinely kind, making me feel comfortable and heard throughout the entire process. I never once felt like just another client—she treated my case with the utmost care. Her strategic approach was crucial in securing a favorable resolution. I truly felt confident in her abilities, and that sense of security made a challenging situation much easier to navigate. I highly recommend Sara to anyone in need of legal representation for traffic offenses. She is, without a doubt, a top-tier professional who goes above and beyond for her clients.

Sara is an incredible lawyer! She took on my case and made short work of the heavy handed prosecution. Her knowledge of the law and quick thinking saved me from having to pay thousands of dollars in fines and having the conviction on my record. Her personal connections with influential people helped me get my case dismissed. She’s a great listener and took copious notes on my case.

After countless interviews with potential lawyers, I finally hired Sandy Fox and his firm to assist with child support and reunification with my children, as the mother has not allowed me to see them in nearly eight years. From the start, Sandy and his team have been absolutely incredible. Having dealt with countless lawyers who took advantage of me financially and delivered no results, Sandy’s firm has been a breath of fresh air. They treat me with unmatched professionalism and care, offering a level of service and results I’ve never experienced before. One of the most impressive aspects of Sandy’s firm is the extreme attention to detail in their court filings. Everything they submit is thorough and meticulously prepared, which has given me great confidence throughout this process. Additionally, his assistant, paralegals, and other attorneys are always on the ball, ensuring that every aspect of my case is handled efficiently and with the utmost care. Family cases are deeply emotional, and throughout this difficult process, Sandy has been a constant source of support. When I feel deflated, I reach out to him, and he always takes the time to reassure me and lift my spirits—a level of care that goes beyond legal representation. For anyone seeking an incredible law firm that offers not just professional expertise but also personal support, I cannot recommend Sandy Fox and his team highly enough.

Sandy Fox and his entire team are extremely effective! When I hired Sandy to represent me I was in a highly contentious divorce that had been painfully dragged out for 4 yrs and several attorneys . In less than a years time my case, that ultimately went in front of a judge, resolved. Sandy Fox shined and got me a judgment i didn’t think was even possible. As another reviewer stated he is not one to stroke ego or entertain B.S. on either side. He is a highly effective, focused and aprovechable Divorce trial lawyer! I wish I had hired him and his team years earlier, I know it would have saved me and my family a lot of time, stress and money.

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:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    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.
