I had a pretty simple divorce, but the custody dispute made it extremely complex. Donna never faltered. I’m still amazed by her knowledge of the law, her insight with people and her ability to articulate to the court so affectively. Flawless in the courtroom! Completely flawless!

I have hired Donna twice for custody/placement and now grandparent visitation rights. Donna is very respectful and professional. Donna has made me feel confident even though she never promised me any results she promised to work hard on these two cases. Donna is a very good laywer that I trust, she has true passion and has put my mind to ease. Donna also is very understanding and very easy to get along with. I recommend her to anyone that needs a laywer. I'm very grateful I have Donna as my laywer she's handled alot of things that I wouldn't of known to do as I'm not fimilar with laws. Donna has helped me understand the laws by explaining everything so I could understand. Thank you again Donna for all your hard work! Your an amazing laywer!

Mr. Terpin has been extremely helpful in providing counsel on complex family law matters. His willingness to give thoughtful well-informed information made the process easier to understand and reduced my family's stress considerably. I trust his guidance and regularly refer client matters outside the scope of my practice for him to resolve.

John was very helpful when I contacted him for a consultation. Showed interest in helping me out since the beginning and was quick with getting in touch. I'm much more confident now with the whole process having had a professional specialized in this field (immigration) answering my questions. Also, he was super nice and patient when speaking to me on the phone. I really appreciate having had his help. Thanks John!

During 2011-2013 John helped me with the process to change my Visa Status. The school I was enrolled in committed several mistakes leading the change of visa from a J1 to an F1 that eventually the Visa was denied and the case was cancelled in two different occasions. John finally took care of the process and later on had to intervened with the school to avoid having me paying the fees that the USCIS required in order to re-open my case. After waiting for a long time I did get my Visa. John charged me a fee that took in consideration my financial situation.

I used Kiomeiry for a real estate transaction and she was phenomenal. She guided me through the whole process, and what we can do and not do. As a first time home buyer, her knowledge and expertise assured me that I would be okay! Truly a great attorney that cares deeply about her clients. Kiomeiry is an incredible person who cares deeply about her clients. She believes in them and their cases, which helps ease her clients through tough situations like immigration and family matters. Kiomeiry has shared her personal struggles in areas of law which shows how devoted she is towards her clients. Her offices are conveniently located by the family courthouse in Trenton. Highly recommend calling her offices for any family, immigration, and real estate matters.

She is an extremely talented attorney, I was blessed to have found her and her firm. My court case is still ongoing but our first day in court she kept opposing counsel on his back foot. So much so that after constantly being objected to and having every one be sustained when the time came one was not he carried on as of it was. Truly amazing! She is well prepared in court, she came with everything needed digitally and hard copies in case the judge wanted paper in hand or there happened to be some technical hiccup. She concentrated on what was important to the case now and what could wait for later. So far I've been able to get what I've asked for and managed to keep custody of my 4 children, which were most important to me. She truly is a wolf among sheep, if you need a family law attorney 5 stars does not do Sudeepta Singla justice.

My case started in 2017 and my blessing was finding Sudeepta Singla as my attorney. Her knowledge and professionalism was more than I could ask for. She was there for me even at hours I didn’t think she would be, as I was an emotional wreck. Emails, call backs were always the same day. A genuinely, kind soul. She always knew what to look for and what to expect, and in my case she was never wrong. In my family case, her focus was on what was best for the child and never gave up on me or the case. I’ve come across a few attorneys in my past and I can honestly say this was the best experience I have had. Thank you again Singla Lawfirm!

Kerry Anne had a clear and definite plan during a brief consult two months ago. You can hear on the phone that has a logical train of thought and uses clear English and projects her voice well. This involved family court OFP. I think she would work very fast and determined with respect to her work and practice in family law. Although, she was hesitant when I mentioned include extra assistance in the form of a private investigator (Behavioral Intelligence Agent) she did concede that she would be open to consulting at her hourly rate as an intermediary advisor outside of court. *Please shop wisely and use lawyers who are willing to work with a full team of experts.

Ms. Cumbo helped my fiance' at the time undo and conclude what turned out to be a very expensive and impulsive mistake, prior to us meeting. She was our third attorney, and we had a horrible experience with the first, who ended up having his first filing rejected by the court. This attorney proceeded, without consultation, sent the divorce case upstate to Eerie county (we are in NYC). We consulted/hired a second attorney who recommended he keep his case there in the hopes that there could be a shorter processing time. We had consulted with other attorneys in the Buffalo area, all charged us for consultation as well as providing exhorbant fees for helping us file basic paperwork for an uncontested divorce. We felt these attorneys were trying to get a deal, another one clearly tried to scam us (increasing her fee due to "new extra court costs"). We feared and braced for the worst - that we would have to end up hiring another irresponsible attorney, who would create further delays like the first. Due to personal matters related to my partner, it was also imperitive that the divorce be finalized, we were running out time. We felt immense reflief when we contacted Ms. Cumbo, however. She was responsive, did not charge consultation fee, heard our case and provided a very reasonable fee for services. One thing we really liked is that she assured us she would be the only one personally working on the case. True to her word, she was the only person we ever dealt with. She also responded to calls and emails. Reaching her was never a problem. After completing a child support case in another state related to the ex (which took months), Ms. Cumbo filed the divorce papers same day she received that judgement decree. As a result, divorce was eventually granted divorce 4 weeks later. Last Monday, my new husband and I were able to finally get married to each other and do things right. We had hoped to never have had this prior marriage, but life doesn't always follow a straight line before meeting the right one. One thing that made me want to contact Ms. Cumbo in the first place is a small quote on her page: "Life is a journey, and you don't have to go it alone". I felt that this attorney could understand where we were at the time. We highly recommend Ms. Cumbo to those that value personalized services. Ms. Cumbo takes the time to explain procedure and overall plan/steps, without ever making you feel like you are wasting her time. We know that there have been times we have contacted her as she was leaving at the end of the day, and she still made time to speak to us. Because of her, we trusted in letting go and letting her handle the case, as we focused on other important matters. Thank you Ms. Cumbo for giving us our lives back!

From moment I contact her office, I was treated with respect. I had no idea what to expect and was overwhelmed with the compassion and caring. I appreciated the straight forward honesty that she displayed. I appreciated the orderly way everything is done. Her experience is evident from the beginning until the end. She knows what she is doing and she does it well. You are literally walked thru a process that could be awkward and embarrassing in a manner that leaves you with the feeling that you still have a bright future ahead of you. She is honest from beginning to end. Her associates are also easy to work with. They answer all questions without making you feel like you should already know the answer. I can only say virtuous things about this experience. Megan Misiti Cumbo stands with you throughout the process and tells you what to expect ahead of time. She is the so very thorough and gave me nothing but good advice.

I retained Mrs. Cumbo for a custody matter involving my ex and our 2 children. The case was a bit complicated because it involved not only the courts here in buffalo, but also the courts in Brooklyn NY. Mrs. Cumbo kept in contact with me and always kept me updated on procedures and how proceedings would commence. What makes her a very unique attorney is her litigation style, some attorneys are what is termed "barracuda" attorneys, and they will do their best to viciously attack the other party, however Mrs. Cumbo is not this style of attorney. She considers both parties in the case, and is willing to work towards a compromise which serves as an asset as this tends to be viewed favorably in the family court system. I am very glad I retained her services and as a result of her diligence, I was awarded sole residential custody of the children. Furthermore, as I held no animosity towards my ex, I was very pleased with how she handled the trial. I would definitely recommend Mrs. Cumbo for anyone facing a family court related matter.

I've worked with Lynn as my divorce attorney for the past year and a half. She was a recommendation from a trusted friend. From the first conference with Lynn, I felt confident I had the right person on my side. I was concerned about having a lawyer who's only concern was being cut throat. I found Lynn to be very professional, honest, and forthright. I found her input incredibly valuable from her legal expertise, but equally valuable with guiding me through the emotional challenges of divorce and child custody. She was able to fight for me when necessary and kept me grounded at the same time. She knows the law and knows how to navigate. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a tough lawyer with a big heart.

I have the highest respect and admiration for Lynn Snyder, Attorney for family law. She is extremely competent, compassionate and very experienced. Lynn is not the typical attorney that looks to churn the bill at every opportunity. I was recommended to see Lynn from an outstanding attorney from the domestic violence center. My family is so lucky that I met Lynn. She had me fill out all of the typical discovery paper work prior to our first complementary interview and she was well prepared to discuss my case prior to the start of the meter running. My case involved mental health issues with my spouse. (Through this journey I’ve found out that mental health issues are more prevalent than anyone would admit in our society.) By Lynn’s 18+ years as a Master in the Courts, her sage counsel and her respect from the courthouse, Lynn enabled me to get full legal and physical custody of my children, which is just short of a miracle in the state of Pennsylvania. In the end, Lynn also helped me have my wife get the help that was needed for my wife’s recovery. Lynn never pushed me to divorce, which would have been the easiest path for someone that didn’t care, but it would not have been the best road for my family. Instead, Lynn always provided solid counsel and guidance that in the end provided a path for our family to get back together and regain our lives. I can’t thank Lynn enough. I have interacted with many attorneys throughout my life for business and what not. I have never interacted with a more compassionate, caring and capable attorney than Lynn Snyder. She helped me get my wife and family back together. She is the best family attorney and anyone would be lucky to be represented by Lynn Snyder.

Lynn has helped me with a very complex child custody case which she resolved Smoothly for both parties. Then my wife put a PFA order against me which Lynn successfully argued and cross examined in court with my wife and the judge dropped the final PFA order just based on wife'a testimony and Lynn amazing discovery skills. Finally Lynn has helped me a emergency child custody petition fearing the mother was being deported back to her home county and now is in process to file annulment of marriage with my wife. In alll cases Lynn has prevailed and her knowledge of the law, her agressive, yet defensive and tactile approach to handling the cases helped me in each incident to be in my favor. She is very practical and very responsive to each call and email I sent her. She doesn't wait one minute without working on my case. Seems like I am her only client lol! I highly recommend Lynn for all your family and domestic law needs. She will win your case !

Brook was an amazing consultant in our legal matters regarding a minor in our household. She fought fairly but stood by us and up for us during the entire process. There are few attorneys who would jump in their car and drive 3 hours because they have to file in a court and want to make sure it gets hand delivered and signed. There are even fewer who would make the drive multiple more times for the sake of getting the matter handled quickly and efficiently. The most fair you could ask for in regards to her billing practices and her response time could not be beat. It is clear she is very sought after and busy but she makes you feel like you are her only client. I would highly recommend Brook to anyone needing legal assistance in the field of family matters.

Bonnie Nicole (Nikki) Hudman was exactly what I wanted and needed in a divorce lawyer. So often, we hear about contentious divorces in which the focus seems to be making the opposing party as miserable as possible. I did not want my case to be like that. Sure, making a cheating spouse go through all kinds of hell would be enormously satisfying; but, after all, that approach only serves to make everyone miserable and runs up your legal fees. I wanted a lawyer who is smart, someone who pays extraordinary attention to the details, and a lawyer who is professional and completely ethical. Nikki fulfilled all those requirements. I never doubted her loyalty to me. I know she had plenty of other clients, but she made me feel as though my case was of the utmost importance. I tried to not call or email her unless I really needed to; but when I did, she was very prompt to respond. When my case went to mediation, I was ready to give into demands from the opposing counsel. She looked me square in the face and said she would not let me do that. She said that I deserved more. Now, eight months later, I'm so happy she did that. I suppose we could have gone to trial to fight for an even greater percentage of the marital property, but Nikki clearly explained the possible benefits and the likely added expense. She definitely had my best interest in mind rather than increasing her legal fees. In the end, I'm very pleased with the outcome. My case finished with a property division I'm happy with, legal fees that weren't too painful, and the knowledge that my lawyer did a top-notch job for me. Best of all, I walked away with my dignity. Can't say that for the other side! Just a note about Nikki's firm: Everyone that worked on my case was professional and courteous, especially Nikki's assistant. Every time I went to their office, I was treated with respect and kindness. I initially consulted with one of the partners. He suggested that I work with Nikki. He must have known she would be the perfect fit for my needs!

Family law court cases already start amidst trauma, turmoil, unrest and drama while draining each participant financially. The entire process, forces everyone involved to bring out the worst in each other in order to secure a "win" while leaving the children, who are already confused, stuck in the middle. From the beginning, Benjamin worked with me to accomplish my goal of winning custody of my son without entering into a public smear campaign with my ex-wife. Together, we were able to accomplish the goal morally and with a clear conscious. For that, I am extremely grateful and highly recommend the services of Mr Beckworth.

I was recommended to Kathy S. Root for resolving a divorce case with a potentially complicated international child custody component to it. Kathy and her team were consistently courteous, professional, firm, and sober-minded, while also being empathetic regarding my experience and supportive of how I wished the case to proceed. Working together, we were able to reach what I feel was a fair and equitable solution without the expense and upset of going to court, which I am very grateful for. Kristin Willis and her team helped with the final paperwork and filing, and were exceptionally responsive and prompt in that regard. There is nothing fun about getting divorced, but my experience working with the people at Gevurtz Menashe was very positive overall and I would recommend them to anyone in a similar situation.

I wish to offer my sincerest thanks, appreciation, and highest recommendation for attorney Kathryn S. Root, and her Gevurtz Menashe team (Associate Attorney Tracy Connor and Legal Assistants Linda and Marie) for their collective expertise, efforts, professionalism, patience, and understanding throughout their work on my legal case. It had been both confusing and stressful over the years, as I had initially attempted to get legal help to resolve problems in the original paperwork from other legal counsel, with no luck. In a final attempt, I feel very fortunate to have found and received the legal help and guidance from Ms. Root and her team. We worked through several challenging obstacles, explaining legal terms and steps required along the way, and then ultimately receiving the required military calculation information for final negotiations and terms of the final documents. The goal was to file clarifying divorce military benefits paperwork, for the outcome of a revised court order to receive these benefits. After much effort by all, we received this new court order. In the beginning, I also stated that I wanted a first priority placed on keeping my kids out of the entire process, out of respect and sensitivity for them, as they should not be caught in the middle of this situation. Again, Ms. Root and her team responded with compassion and understanding for my request, and we proceeded with that in mind. Throughout the entire process, I felt like I was respected and given full support. For the first time, I felt as though I could trust that my legal counsel had the shared desire, and professional expertise, to achieve our goal, and be successful. Therefore, and without hesitation, I highly recommend Ms. Root of the Gevurtz Menashe firm, and am forever grateful for her commitment to helping me get through this difficult ordeal successfully.

Mrs. Alicia Hall was the Amicus Attorney/Guardian Adlitem for my daughter in a highly contentious custody battle. From day 1 she shot straight with me and emphasized the fact she does not represent me nor the opposing party, for her representation is via the court and my daughter's best interest and safety, which she also stressed was her sole primary concern. Mrs. Hall is extremely knowledgeable of the law and responds to missed calls and etc in a timely fashion without remiss. From the moment she was appointed to the case she wasted no time in fact finding and conducting her investigation. Her professional, yet down to earth style and energy sets her apart from most. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a high caliber attorney who knows their stuff and will fight for justice!

Ms. Hall re-did my Will that required many changes. Not only were these done with 100% accuracy, she asked me important questions I wouldn't have thought of myself. She is very professional, extremely nice and easy to talk to. You don't feel rushed or like just another client. I will definitely use her again should the need arise. I HIGHLY recommend her !!!!

Mr. Franks has represented me a number of times over the past few years in situations where I have had to go back to court over child support and various changes in parental rights with respect to my kids. Each time he has handled my case professionally and expeditiously resulting in a positive outcome. Even more than this, he and his staff are always there to help you with what are often stressful situations and to give advice on how to minimize the effects of these situations on my children. Mr. Franks has been practicing family law for many years - he is concise, prepared, aggressive if needed, and he and his team are always accessible for questions and concerns. I would highly recommend Mr. Franks for handling any family law matters. Special thanks to him and his office staff!

Mr. Franks represented our family in a child custody suit about 20 years ago. His advice and counsel based on his years of experience and knowledge of the law and the court players, got us through a very difficult time. Most recently, suddenly facing a divorce, there was no question about who would represent me. Jon Michael knows the law, of course, but he also knows the legal playing field in Tarrant County, which helped me to avoid having to go through unnecessary procedures. He was able to secure my divorce in a minimum time frame; he respected my wishes and goals and provided excellent advice and counsel to help me achieve all of the goals I had set out. He is quick to get to the heart of an issue and determine a proper strategy. Northeast Tarrant County is very fortunate to have such a high standard of legal expertise and experience in its community. Mr. Franks always has his client's back - you can count on him.

My divorce was harrowing, and Jordan Young kept me afloat. I was part of a very nasty divorce, and really thought I was going to lose time with my daughters, but Jordan stepped up and helped me not only survive, but eventually win more time with the kids. She was able to understand the emotional complexities of divorce, but also didn't mince words about what would or wouldn't hold water in court. It was honestly a fantastic balance of accurate legal consultation and emotional support, which as I understand it with many attorneys is a rare combination. She also didn't stand for any of the nonsense my ex tried to pull, and was the first to speak up when something was trending in an unreasonable direction. I had a less-than-useless attorney prior, and got metaphorically disemboweled by the enormous bills, especially since no progress was made. I hired Jordan, and because her billing is always fair and justified, I was able to financially weather the storm as well. I NEVER got a bill that didn't make sense. You truly couldn't ask for a more capable or helpful attorney to see you through the often ugly divorce process.

Jordan really listens to her clients and understands the emotions that come with being in family court. She always took the time to allow me to vent, before explaining what the options were legally. She cares for the children in these cases, she aligns with what is in the best interest of the child. She spent years on my case and I don’t think I would have been able to get through it without her. She is very smart and understands the law. She is extremely well spoken.

I will say I've never had one complaint with her the way she's handled my cases. She's very professional, great patience and really has perfected her field. Her knowledge is incomparable to any other attorney I've spoken with. It's like she sleeps and studies at the same time. I've referred everyone I know looking for representation to her. Excellent work Ms. Hendrix. I will continue to have Ms. Hendrix represent me for as long as she's in the business. Thank you.

As a young woman, I knew very little about the judicial system. Melissa represented me in TWO cases one about child custody and a separate one about a domestic abuse case. Melissa truly listened and sympathized with my situation. She explained every legal procedure thoroughly and always took my feelings and wants into mind when deciding how to approach my case. I met with other lawyer before meeting Melissa who told me to lower my expectations. Melissa fought for what I deserved and was quick to take charge in the courtroom. BUT her special quality is that she will fight for what is right and fair. She is one of the good guys. I'm incredibly grateful and would recommend her to anyone looking for a family court lawyer.

Will Davis was an absolute ACE in defending me through absurd and relentless claims in a custody case I was blindsided by. Not only did Will ensure that I won the case, it was who Will was as a person that helped me through this case, more than he likely ever knew. I felt very protected by him, he always had my back at every move, and through this highly emotional time for me, he was calm & highly confident with every move we were going to make next. I realized I never needed to worry because he wasn't worried. I cannot thank Will enough for getting me through this case, for the support & protection I felt throughout, and of course for winning. I cannot recommend him enough!

As dramatic as the title is, Mr. Davis did just that. I was in the divorce of hell! Not to mention a custody battle that included IVF. The question was if the baby that I carried via RIVF( carried wife’s egg) was legally mine. As the state of Georgia does not legitimate children born of IVF, I was told that I was a biological stranger to my children. Like the child that was cut out of my uterus could be taken away from me as well as our son that was born a month before marriage. My life was literally being ripped apart! Mr. Davis did not offer any promises but assured me that we would take this thing head on. He did just that I was granted 50/50 custody to both of my children and child support. He’s a godsend! I’m forever grateful. Not to mention he always answered all of my frantic calls, emails, and text messages. Thank you again!

Will was my attorney in divorce litigation that took a year to resolve due to the contentious nature of my former spouse and his attorney. Will supported me through the entire process with sound advice, compassion, in-depth knowledge of the legal system and the individuals involved in our case, and an impeccable attention to detail. I knew in every step of the process that Will knew the facts of the case, presented the most relevant information to support our stance, and provided emotional support to me during this challenging time. There were very young children involved in my case, and he kept their needs at the forefront of the case. The end result was the right outcome for the kids and for me. I highly recommend Will due to his professionalism, knowledge, composure, approach, and legal strategy. I owe my children's safety and well-being as well as my own to him and the support he gave me during a horrible divorce.

Prior to hiring Tiffany Scott to assist with my child custody case, I had a total of 15 consultations with attorneys from all over the valley. I felt confident with my decision to move forward with Tiffany for many reasons. The #1 reason was because I felt she was the most genuine and transparent about my options and possible outcomes, while others pretended they could guarantee the outcomes I wanted, which you find out very quickly into a family law case that it is not possible. At every stage of the process, Tiffany took the time to provide me with every possible scenario so that I could make the decision I felt was best for myself and my son. It was critical to me to always have a realistic picture of what I was getting into and what it meant for my son's future relationship with me and with his father. Another reason I appreciate working with Tiffany so much is because she immediately provided tips on how to save money on unnecessary attorney costs, such as minimizing emails and phone call costs by asking as many questions as possible at once. As a single mother, saving costs was very important to me and other attorneys I had consultations with suggested to immediately pursue temporary orders, which ultimately would have been a costly and unnecessary step in my case. Additionally, there were not any minimum hours billed for physical court appearances while one attorney I spoke with charged a minimum of 3 hours for court appearances. A 3rd reason I loved working with Tiffany is because of her timely response to my emails and phone calls; and her clear, detailed and effective communication, which I felt ultimately saved me costs by minimizing back and forth emails or calls. I could go on for a few more paragraphs on why I will undoubtedly hire Tiffany again and refer Tiffany to anyone looking for a family law attorney.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

  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.
