Very grateful for all the help and guidance provided on my recent divorce. It is never an easy time, however Mr. Youngberg and Carla were amazing. I was really important to have them on my team since my x-husband was not located in Texas and we needed to take into consideration the impact of him being over 1,000 miles away.

Susan was a God-send when a seemingly smooth divorce process suddenly turned for the worse. Susan stayed level and worked the process in getting me through an incredibly stressful time in my life. I know she worked non-billed hours to bring this to completion and I'm forever grateful for her guidance through this difficult journey.

Susan came highly recommend to me to help deal with a difficult time in my life. She was easily able to navigate me through the legal process of a divorce and child custody, explain my options, and help achieve the desired result. Hands down I would use her again (although hoping I won't have too) and would recommend her to anyone who is starting or thinking about going down that path. She is amazing!

I first hired Susan to represent me in a difficult case involving domestic violence against me. She helped me and my children stay safe. I hired her a second time to process the divorce and the outcome was the best possible situation for me and my children. Susan is professional yet approachable, and her expertise is vast. I have since consulted with her on a number of occasions and recommended her services to several friends. She is a trustworthy advocate for families and children.

She made the entire process not difficult at all. Explained everything from start to finish.

Excellent representation at an excellent price.

Don't let her age fool you, Laura knows her stuff. I had a difficult and very contentious case with my ex. My ex was attempting to restrict my visitation with my daughter. Laura was all over it, she completely destroyed my exes case and laid waste to her first lawyer pre-trail and her second lawyer during the trial. I went from possibly having my visitation restricted to gaining primary custody of my daughter after not seeing her for a year and a half. I really can't say enough about Laura. My ex continues hiring new lawyer after new lawyer and Laura continues to send them packing!! I wouldn't dream of having anyone else in my corner. If you want someone that is going to fight tooth and nail for you and isn't going to BS you she's the one you need. If you choose anyone else and find yourself on the otherside of court against Laura...well good luck!

You didn't want to be here, reading divorce lawyer reviews. You're stressed and hurt. You know that picking the right lawyer could be the difference between getting on with your life sooner or dealing with years of expense and frustration. Lucky for you, you found Livesay & Myers. Brianna Salerno and Dollie Tran were for me the flawlessly competent and sympathetic legal team I needed. I recommend them and the folks at Livesay & Myers in the highest possible terms. They helped me get through my unwelcome divorce in less time and for less money that I imagined possible. Definitely talk to several firms (I did), but in the end I am confident that if you select Livesay & Myers you will have made the right choice.

Ms. Salerno was able to guide me and my case through the intricate and specific case law for Commonwealth of Virginia family law. Ms. Salerno was always able to answer my questions (how and why) with specificity to ensure I understood the exact reason for all decisions made in my case. That alone makes Ms. Salerno and her team "the bomb diggity" but her kindness and willingness to understand the emotional peaks and valleys of a case surely has placed her in the realm of spectacular family law attorneys. Knowing the law without a kind "desk side" manner is of no use to any client in her field of law. From the onset of my case through the trial, Ms. Salerno and her team were willing to research any and all portions of law relating to my case and precisely execute the strategy she developed. I am now and will always give Ms. Salerno and her team a "full-throated" positive review for their consummate professionalism, graciousness and comprehensive expertise in family law. I will enthusiastically recommend Ms. Salerno to anyone who asks for or needs a family law attorney.

Knowledge and level of effort that are worth worth 4x what he charges. The guy worked twice as hard as my last attorney that literally changed me a retainer 4x what Mr Castle charged me. I can't say enough good things about this group of professionals. I know some will read this glowing review and think it to be a shill or fake review, but I dont care. I wont give this review any less than Mr Castle gave me in court. I consulted with several attorneys before choosing The Castle Law firm. Mr. Castle was the only one that was willing to do the extra work and go the extra mile to get all the charges before I turned myself in. So I knew what I was facing before hand, to properly be prepared. That set the tone for the kind of service I received through out the entire case. Because of his effort he got me bail so cheap I could pay the bond without even going to the atm, then he got me a really great deal from the ADA. But I was dead set on clearing my name so we went to trial. The staff was always helpful keeping me updated and were easy to deal with. When the trial started I was able to see why Castle is known as the best damn trial lawyer in 3 county's. He stayed cool under pressure when the pretrial motions started. All the while I'm losing faith in the justice system with every motion the judge gives the prosecution. And the jury selection didnt make it look any better. By the time the ADA was done presenting the first witness I felt beaten. But not Castle. He reminded me, in not so many words, that it's not the luck of the draw the matters it's the way you play your cards, that count. Once the state rested their case, Mr Castle began to slowly present his facts. Strategically shining a light on the holes in their case. With every question he asked you started to see a whole new picture coming to light. It was not long after that, I felt the tide begin to turn in our favor. As the fact pattern developed you could see he was in total control of everyone's attention in that court room, it was like a general leading the army to battle. The closing argument brought the different pieces together the way a conductor brings together the instruments of an orchestra. He gave the jury a chance to see and hear past the smoke and mirrors presented by a prosecutor that seemed to care more about winning than he cared about truth... the only thing I remember after that is hearing the judge say "Not Guilty"

There is not enough I can say for all Melissa has done for me and my children. I hired Melissa after having 2 other local attorneys. I won’t mention their names, however I don’t feel with them they always had the best intentions of my children involved. From the start with my consultation, Melissa always had not only my protection legally /finamcially at the top, but the protection of my children first and foremost. It had taken me three years and two attorneys before Melissa came and finished my case with the amount of money she told me she would. She actually finished my three year long case in just 6 months. If you are from an abusive relationship and are wondering where to go next and who could help you finish a long horrible process, I would definitely consult Melissa to help you. I do believe she is an angel for me and my kids...there just aren’t any more words or better way to put it. Thank you Melissa Amy and the M&Ms

Someone I know got pulled over and received a citation for driving uninsured and failing to obey a stop sign. In the state of Illinois the penalty for driving without insurance can result in having your license suspended and up to a $2,000 fine for time time offenders. They ended up walking out of the court room with a small fine and keeping their drivers license. Philip's rates are very reasonable. When hiring a traffic attorney, you're decision should not strictly be focused on the cost of the attorney. You have to evaluate their rate based on the potential worst case scenario for your court case. When evaluating an attorney based on the outcome, Phil is worthy every penny. If anyone I know told me that they have an upcoming a traffic case at the Wheaton Court house, I would highly recommend Philip Nathe.

I highly recommend Vincent DeLuca as a collaborative divorce attorney. I hired him back in 2010 for a collaborative divorce, and his involvement helped to make it a success. He was already skilled in that area of law, at that time, despite it being new to many people in NJ. In a collaborative divorce both lawyers become part of the “team”, yet in private they still offer guidance to their clients (that is my take on the process). So I wanted a lawyer who was both a team player and a straight shooter. If I was asking for too much I wanted him to tell me, and if I was not holding a fair line I also wanted to know. Throughout the process he offered that kind of honest guidance to me, and he helped to keep our son’s needs front and center. He also has skills as a mediator, and it was apparent to me that he truly wanted what was best for our son. Vince is also capable of being assertive and seeing through tactics and posturing. I certainly did not want a typical divorce battle, but I want to be clear that if I had one I also would trust that Vince could help to protect me from those pitfalls. In many ways I feel he offers a great blend of all of those skills and needs. He is caring, experienced, creative and tactful. And above all he earned my trust at a high level. I ended up contacting him three other times, and referring a handful of friends to him. I wish you luck on your current challenges and recommend that you consider a consultation with Vince to see if he is a good fit for your needs.

You never expect that when you are married and have children that you will be getting a divorce. I was incredibly fortunate to have Vince as my divorce lawyer.

Everything went the way he told me it would, there were no surprises. Vince is very personable and very knowledgeable. I developed great rapport with him very quickly and felt as though he was always looking out for my best interest. Vince was very instrumental in helping me obtain a settlement that allowed me and my children to retain the marital home thereby minimizing the impact of the divorce on my children.

I met Patricia Cistaro when she was a senior associate attorney working for a large family law practice in New Jersey. During my initial consultation with Patricia, she advised me of the requirements to support a viable alimony modification case. I was impressed with her expertise and candidness, so when I felt it was the right time to petition the courts for alimony modification, I sought out Patricia and found that she had started her own practice. I engaged Patricia to represent me in a motion to modify or terminate my alimony obligation due to a significant change in circumstances, my approaching retirement age, and my ex-wife’s suspected cohabitation. Patricia provided valuable guidance to me with regard to obtaining evidence and providing documentation that I needed to support my case. She communicated with my ex-wife and espoused the benefits of trying to reach an agreement of modification without the necessity of filing a costly motion. Patricia communicated to my ex-wife the date we intended to file a motion with the court if we were unable to negotiate a modification. Just before the expiration of the deadline, my ex-wife gave notice of her imminent marriage and shortly thereafter signed a Consent Order that officially terminated my alimony obligation. During Patricia’s engagement, I received “big” firm legal expertise and experience, but with a comfortable “small” firm closeness. Hopefully, I will never need to engage the services of a family law attorney again, but if I did, I would hire Patricia Cistaro without reservation.

I would highly recommend Ellen to anyone seeking a qualified and effective counselor.

Ellen is a consummate professional whom is direct whilst also being considerate of her client's feelings and perspective. She is patient, taking her time to explain things her client may not understand as well taking her time to thoroughly answer any/all client questions. Ellen makes you [her client] feel like a priority, walking you through the divorce process and bringing levity to one of life's most-stressful seasons. I would readily recommend Ellen to anyone in need of her services; personally, I will always be grateful for her and for her energy and efforts on my behalf *Mahalo Nui Loa*

Mr. Pugh is very professional and knowledgeable in his craft. He listens to his clients and takes the time to be invested in the cases he's working on. I could not be happier with his performance in the court room. Such a positive attitude and very matter of fact. I would and do reccommend him to anyone needing someone that they can say and know unequivocally that he has your best interest in mind. Thank you so much Mr. Pugh!

I spoke to several lawyers before hiring this law firm. Both Dan and Stephanie are former prosecuting attorneys and they drew on their experience from the other side of the table. They knew exactly what to expect and they were thorough and honest. They were responsive, non judgmental and easy to talk to. My case had a grim outlook but they worked together to get the best possible outcome and I couldn't be happier with the results. There is no one I would rather have in my corner.

Since 2012, Stephanie Thompson Pawuk has been my attorney. She has won every case for me. In 2012, I hired Stephanie in a in landlord/tenant dispute. Also in 2012, Stephanie represented me and convinced the same landlord to give back my security deposit. extend my move out. Again in 2018, I called on Stephanie to represent me on a employer/employee dispute concerning my pay. As my attorney, Stephanie quickly solve the case in my favor. i am confident that if Stephanie takes a case she will win. Stephanie Thompson Pawak is my hero

Vanessa is very knowledgeable in what she does. Her professionalism and passion made this extremely tough time for me remarkably smooth. She was always able to give me all the information I needed and made very clear of the possible outcomes. Communication with her was open at all times and if she is busy, she would make sure to get back to you as soon as she could. I had 4 misdemeanors charged against me with 60 days custody over my head. With a couple months of negotiating, I get a call with great news. 60 day custody was dropped and 3 of 4 misdemeanors were dropped. The outcome was truly more than I can ask for. Vanessa puts in the time and truly cares in achieving the best outcome for you. I highly recommended her for your legal needs!

Ron was dedicated to my ex-husband's violent crime case. He was looking at 38 years in federal prison but because of all the work that went into researching PTSD and how it affected my ex-husband the father of my children received 5 years of prison and will hopefully be home in 3 years. Words cannot expressed the gratitude that my children and family feel for the work that was done to defend him. Ron was professional, passionate, very knowledgeable and dedicated to this case and saw my ex-husband as a person and not just a paying client that he was billing. He knew all the laws and was well prepared for his court appearances. Ron kept the whole family informed on any updates regarding the case or court dates. He went the extra mile to make sure all of our requests were met even if they were not directly related to the case. I would recommend his services to anyone I know as you will get more than just a good lawyer you will get someone who will fight for you and get you the best results than you can ever wish for.

I met Chanda after taking divorce classes at the Women's Center and hiring and firing two awful lawyers. The first was dishonest and the second was from a firm that charged a high retainer and exorbitant hourly fees and then took days/weeks to return emails. I ended up paying a lot over three months for them to create one document that went nowhere. They didn't offer wise counsel and just sat on things to get the case to court and squeeze more money from me and other clients. After months of their ineptitude and greed with no end in sight, I found Chanda. She has been a blessing and is simply, THE BEST ATTORNEY IN THE WORLD! TOP 10 REASONS WHY SHE'S THE BEST: Chanda is honest, intelligent, rational/logical, experienced, fair, kind, courteous, prompt, hard-working and efficient. She is on top of everything. Chanda will actually get in touch with you vs. you trying hard to reach her. She responds to emails!!! What a breath of fresh air! That is the beauty of working with an attorney from a small boutique law firm who has years of experience and cares about her clients. At our first meeting, Chanda met with me in her warm and welcoming office which is beautiful, well located and unlike all the corporate firms I had visited before. She listened intently and gave me a realistic appraisal of what to expect. Chanda did not waste my time or money. She helped me figure out what I wanted most. I shared my 10 points with her and within two days, she wrote them into terms in such a factual, fair and kind writing style that my ex-husband immediately responded that he was surprised and agreed with 95% of it. We worked out the details and signed terms within a month! THAT IS THE MAGIC OF CHANDA KINSEY. Don't waste your time and money on the sadly, millions of inept, dishonest and greedy lawyers out there. Sorry to give them a bad name but after meeting and hiring so many awful ones who cared only about their pockets, I was happy I decided not to pursue law and realized how rare it is to find a good one. CHANDA IS A GEM. She made me feel that whether I was the wife or husband, she'd be equitable. My ex-husband liked her so much, he ended up firing his attorney who likely wanted things to go to court and hired a notary so we could sign terms and move on! YES, SHE'S THAT AWESOME! Chanda will help you get to the finish line. I hope no one has to go through the ordeal I went through in finding a respectable attorney. I'm so glad I found her. Look no further. Save your time and money and put your trust in an attorney who actually cares about justice and her clients. She is worth every minute and dollar I spent. A blessing from heaven. CALL CHANDA TODAY! GOOD LUCK!

Another victory and an exemplary proof that nothing can beat Ms. Kinsey. My ex-wife who attempted to obtain a restraining order against me based on false allegations, has faced a humiliating defeat, where the court quashed her request citing that the allegations were not 'Credible'. This wouldn't have been possible without Ms. Kinsey's ability to effectively present the case and expose the lies. --- My ex-wife tried to play yet another ploy, where she filed 'motion to rehear' to have the court reopen the child custody case citing falsely that she was coerced into signing the child custody documents earlier. I witnessed Ms. Kinsey roared in the court, she fought ferociously and argued so effectively that left all of us in awe. And not to mention we won the case!. I and my daughter shall always be thankful to Ms. Kinsey and her team.

Ms. Kinsey has been so caring and compassionate, a great listener and patient. She listened to what I wanted and explained what will work out best for me. I got the highest care and professionalism from her. Ms. Kinsey got me full legal and physical custody of my daughter in the absentia of my runaway ex-wife. Ms. Kinsey was calm when I was frantic and spoke effectively on my behalf when I had a hard time finding my own voice. I couldn't possible recommend her more highly. Ms. Chanda Kinsey is the absolute best!

I can not thank Attorney Wade enough for her help. Initially, I felt helpless and hopeless without the professional guidance and voice required to "go up against" someone as intimidating and resourceful as *****. Had it not been for Mrs. Wade, my case would have gone in a very different direction with ***** manipulating everything in h** favor, escaping accountability, and silencing me in the process. Attorney Wade's time and energy donated to this case changed the outcome of my future and empowered me to move onward and upward with my life. She is an excellent attorney who I will be forever grateful for.

Words really can't describe the level of professionalism and expertise Attorney Wade possesses. I had a nightmare divorce/custody case that carried over from North Carolina for a total of four years. At the time I came in contact with Attorney Wade I was on my fourth lawyer and I spent almost 20k in legal fees. In time, I had become a "professional court testifier" and became very familiar with the legal process. I knew a good attorney when I saw one. I did my research and Attorney Wade had pedigree (which I heavily believe in) and I read several Washington Post articles that she was profiled in. I was impressed. When I had my first consult with Attorney Wade, I knew I struck gold. She was able to listen to my concerns, see the big picture, and she dissected 3 years of my litigation timeline in 45 mins. A tentative gameplan was formulated and the strengths and weaknesses of my case were discussed. We worked together as a team and when it was time to make strategic decisions, she always had a plan in mind and I often agreed with her and we proceeded accordingly. She never blew me off. She responded to my emails and telephone calls within a very reasonable time. Even when she was caring for a sick family member she still found the time to respond. In short, Attorney Wade managed to convince my ex-wife and opposing counsel to a consent agreement that really benefited me and my children. I'm so happy and pleased with the overall process and result of my case. Attorney Wade will always be my attorney as long as she is practicing and I'm a resident of Virgina. HIGHLY INTELLIGENT AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! 5 STARS Thank you Attorney Wade Erique

From our initial consultation to the final day in court, Ms. Wade showed a thorough knowledge and understanding of the legal process, and left no concern in my mind that we would ever lose the case. Even when pressed by the Judge, Ms. Wade showed unwavering resolve and put her expertise of family law on full display. If you are looking for a family law attorney in Virginia, Rebecca Wade should be the first one you contact. I assure you that you will look no further after you sit down with her.

I hired Mr. Suro on a personal injury case. The insurance company of the person at fault significantly undervalued my claim. David was able to get me over four times what they initially offered. It took a couple of years, but he stayed on them for a very satisfactory result. He kept me posted on the progress of the claim at regular intervals and was very professional. Once the insurance company paid, he had my money to me in less than a week. Highly recommended.

I was David's client for two years while we navigated through a frustrating and tedious personal injury case. It was immediately clear that David knew what he was doing in the legal sense, but also understood the personal aspect to a life changing event like a major personal injury. He was by my side the whole time and became something like a partner very quickly. I always felt like we were "in it together". He went out of his way to ensure I understood the process, what would happen next, and what his recommended strategy was each step of the way. Additionally, he went out of his way to make sure my wife was included, also knew what to expect, etc. - he is clearly a good family man who understands what life changing events can do to a family. Ultimately, we reached a favorable closure to my case, and I credit David as the reason why. I would strongly recommend David Suro from the bottom of my heart to anyone needing an attorney. He is truly outstanding!!

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.

    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.
