I am truly blessed for The Bledsoe Firm for guiding me through my divorce process, When I first contacted this firm, I was unsure that if I made the right choice in picking this firm. Now I can say that I made a right decision. Attorney John has been very helpful during my entire divorce process. He answered all my questions patiently and educated me along the way. Also, I want to thank paralegal Kate who answered my questions at times when John was unavailable. I can truly say that John is a very experienced and caring attorney. I have a peace of mind that John is there to guide me through my divorce process. He has best interest for his clients. I know in my heart that he will truly work on what is best for me when my divorce is over. John, God bless you and your entire legal team.

John and team have been wonderful throughout this process. When I first started this journey, honestly, I was absolutely terrified of the future, especially in the situation I was currently in. I found John's firm while looking into a specialist because I knew I needed specialist care -- even the initial phone call was hard for me to make, because it was the symbol of taking a step forward that I had to be prepared to hold, and not stumble back. Debbie took my phone call and just listened to me, then helped me figure out my next steps right away. What they gave me is priceless; they gave me peace of mind during a time when I was personally going through hell. I was confident in John and his team to help me along the way and they did. They provided expert advice and a firm hand when needed. That peace of mind was worth every penny, and I had the added bonus of my case going my way in every way that it could. I am glad I made the correct decision. Thank you.

Matthew Rinaldi never filed A Motion For New Trial and scammed me for $15,000 and committed Fraud. He made a deal with The Prosecutor in my case. I’m a innocent wrongfully convicted man, and now I don’t have any money left to challenge or appeal my wrongful conviction because The McGregor Law Firm stole all of my money. Matthew Rinaldi is very unprofessional and thinks he knows it all. Matthew Rinaldi also acts like A Prosecutor instead of a Criminal Defense Attorney. Matthew will cross examine you like a Prosecutor, instead of talking about how to build your defense. Matthew Rinaldi doesn’t care about his clients. In my opinion he seems like a Undercover Detective working for The Prosecutors Office.

I paid Matthew Rinaldi $50,000 to defend my innocent son in Trial. After The Verdict came back guilty on all counts, he walks up to me sitting on the bench and says, “What’s done is done!” and then he starts laughing uncontrollably. I have never in my 62 years witnessed a attorney do this. DO NOT HIRE THESE PEOPLE.

Reassuring, articulate, knowledgeable, and effective. John Patti is by far the best Family Lawyer my husband and I have worked with to date. The legal process of Family law holds much complexity, especially emergent situations that require an abundance of legal knowledge and expectation setting. John helped outline every step we needed to take, and in turn, we obtained FULL custody of my husbands daughter in our child custody case against his ex. John Patti was selected on a recommendation from a trusted family friend, and this selection was some of the best advice we have ever received.

John is an amazing lawyer, I was looking for a lawyer in Monmouth county to handle my divorce and chose John, he did everything in his power to make me feel like I was his only client. He kept me updated and when it came to representing me in court as my divorce attorney I could not be more happy with the results. He got me a uncontested divorce in New Jersey, which is unheard of! I'm so glad I chose John as my family law lawyer!!! He is still helping me with my child support stuff right now and is still doing great.

I honestly don't even know where to start. My divorce case was a complete nightmare. There is no worse feeling as a parent, than to know your child's best interest lays in the hands of someone else. It was terrifying. At the end of my case, I can honestly say Ms. Evans was the best lawyer I could have ever asked for. She fought hard for my daughter. I genuinely felt like she was fighting for her well being, just as she would want for her own. She kept her safe. Ms. Evans knows her stuff and is on top of it. She is prepared and can rebuttal facts! She is not only good at what she does, but she cares for her clients. She is very affordable and will work with her clients. Bianka is just as amazing. She is always polite and listens to your concerns. All around, I couldn't be more satisfied and will definitely use them again, when I am ready for my adoption case. If you find yourself looking for the best, definitely hire Ms. Evans. I promise you wont be disappointed. She is worth every penny! Ms. Evans won my divorce case, and also handled my tpr case and won it as well. My daughters and myself are now safe, due to her diligence, hard work, outstanding knowledge of family law, and passion for what she does. I give her a 100%

Jana and her team went above and beyond what was necessary to make sure all the details in our case were covered. She consistently gave good advice, responded to inquiries quickly, and pursued whatever was needed for us to finalize the guardianship, and then the adoption, of our child. She took care of many things "behind the scenes" that we had not even thought of needing to be done. Her rates were fair and, honestly, her services are worth more than what she charges. You should definitely contact her for family court services.

Jane helped me with my two divorces. While I was going through one of the most difficult seasons of my life, Jane made me feel seen and heard. She helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel and was there for me every step of the way. Obviously, when you are going through a divorce and have minor children, there are a lot of emotions and logistics to work through. Jane did this all for me. She took the burden of figuring out how my life was going to look post-marriage away from me. Jane is a very intelligent, well-versed family law attorney and made sure I was getting what I was entitled to. She strives to settle but will fight for you when necessary. I can't speak highly enough about Jane and all she has done for me over the years. I hope I don't go through anything like this again, but if I did, Jane would be the first and only person I call. If you need help, peace of mind, or an advocate, make sure you call Jane!

I started my divorce process in mid 2020, what a time to have to go through this process. But I don't think there's really a "good" time for such a thing. The original attorney I teamed up with at the beginning of my divorce, Myah Kehoe (Kehoe Moneyhun Law, LLC) which I recommend as well. That attorney recommended a handful of attorneys based on the particulars of my case. After consulting with each of these attorneys, I decided upon Jennifer (Jenny) Eadie and I'm glad I made that decision. My case was protracted (likely due to the pandemic), involving a non-responsive other party, and a lack of willingness to compromise. Jenny was highly skilled at taking over the case, getting up to speed, and communicating with both parties in a timely fashion. Jenny helped bring my case to a resolution and a positive outcome. If you want an attorney that's patient, polite, and efficient; then look no further. Jenny is it, I highly recommend Jenny Eadie as an attorney.

Ms. Rodriguez helped me when I got falsely charged with assault DV. I was impressed because whether it was my case or not, when she walked into the courtroom, she would know what is said on every piece of paper she was given. Often times she could dispel the spinning of the story by other lawyers. She still managed to maintain a level of respect while she was arguing with her adversaries. Seeing that made me feel positive about my representation even though the subject matter of our interaction was not pleasant, she made it possible for me to get through it and I’m forever thankful to Ms Rodriguez for that. We had a successful outcome and I would recommend her to anyone who was falsely accused of a crime.

I hired Miss Rodriguez for a DUI back in April. I thought I was going to lose my job and kids while I was also dealing with a divorce at the time. After I had consulted with her several times, she remembered details of the story I had already forgotten about discussing with her. I couldn't say the same for my divorce attorney though. She is very well organized and explained to me how things will go and not to worry. She was so right on how the process went and she got me off all charges. She was very reasonable on her rate and most of all I did not lose my job. I wish I would have hired her as my divorce attorney. I will recommend this Miss Rodriguez to all my family and friends! She is a life saver.

After an unexpected turn of events, I needed help with a legal case and appreciated the fact that Mr. Pernik was willing to represent me. As I worked with Mr. Pernik, Dustin, and other members of his team to resolve the issue, it became readily apparent that they worked well together, and in my best interest. In the end, the case was settled fairly, and I attribute that success to Mr. Pernik and his team's professionalism, integrity, and compassion. I highly recommend Mr. Pernik, whether you're dealing with a straightforward case, or one that's more complex in nature. The legal representation that he provides will be first-rate, bar none.

After getting myself into some legal troubles and risking losing my drivers license for a year, I went on a lengthy search for the right lawyer to represent me in court. Luckily I found Mr. Linschied after several recommendations from esteemed legal professionals and selecting him was absolutely the best possible decision I could have made for myself and my future. Mr. Linscheid was always open to hearing me out and was very honest with me throughout the entire process of my trial. On top of this, Mr. Linscheid is very good at communicating what is happening to ensure that you know where your case sits every step of the way, and the various possible outcomes given your situation. He worked very hard to grant me the best possible outcome, and he went above and beyond ultimately bringing forth an outcome that far exceeded my expectations. I can honestly say working with Mr. Linscheid resolved what seemed like an absolute nightmare to me and I would very highly recommend him to anyone searching for professional legal services under his scopes of work.

He helped me go through the court system and provided me the reassurance that everything will be ok. He is the utmost professional and his knowledge of the court system is extremely extensive.

We were in an accident with my newborn and my husband, that caused me a lot of pain. Our car was totaled on the scene, and as you can imagine, hospital bills were STACKING up in the THOUSANDS. At first, my husband and I didn’t know what to do. Due to a connection of acquaintances, we were referred to Jordan Law to take on our case. My family and I are so grateful that we did. I got all the care I needed, I always had the support I needed, and just people who care. It’s tough to find lawyers that genuinely care about you and all the different components of having an accident, while also fighting for you. Hopefully, I don’t get into another car accident, but if I do or any of my family does, we will be going back to Jordan Law.

It's quite common for our legal clients to struggle with timely responses and feedback, since there are so many other priorities to address, but the team at Jordan Law and Kevin in particular have always been sure to immediately respond to requests and remain communicative. Whether they are a client of yours or you choose to retain them as legal council, rest assured that you're time will be valued and respected. I highly recommend working with Jordan Law in any and every capacity.

Jabbar was SO helpful in getting me a tax refund. He stuck through the entire process with me for months, having to file multiple amendments to get the outcome we wanted. Extremely patient and caring for his clients. 100% recommend working with Chester and Daniels!

I just have to say that the Colorado Legal Defense Group law office is amazing, especially Megan Majewski. I have received my full pardon from the State Governor because of the professionalism and dedication she has given. Absolute thanks to Megan, my cases are now sealed in both Las Vegas and Colorado. She has guided and directed me through my legal process with significant effect and assurance. I would genuinely recommend the CLDG for anyone who is in rehabilitation of their life, and who wants professional legal counsel to guide them through the legal system. The CLDG are absolutely the best at what they do - you will not be disappointed.

I worked with Mark Savoy and Diane Barrera Joseph Santaularia was my primary attorney or my main attorney for six months he helped me. I went through a situation that I’ve never been through and I should not have been in long story short I had three charges and was unaware. I found out through getting hired at this job when they did a background check they chose not to hire me and that’s when I became aware of my situation! So I had to prepare to turn myself in, which is something I’ve never done I didn’t do it right away I gathered information and did it about a month later I Went through that whole process ended up having to turn in my firearm. We fought hard on this for six months three charges dropped case dismissed as of 4 months ago last August 30th it was finalized. They helped me go through a process to where I was able to get the entire case sealed with the Help of Mark & Diane and now my case it now no longer appears on my record or anywhere, and they were able to help me get my firearm back. Colorado Legal Defense was always there with advice and if someone couldn’t make it, their whole team would make sure somebody was there to represent you in court. I would highly recommend Colorado Legal Defense group. If you are unsure about your situation or if you don’t think you already know the outcome these guys will give you some insight. Thanks Joseph my attorney and the rest of theColorado Legal Defense Group! Thank you Mark and Diane as well! Happy New Year! 💪🏽

I usually don't write reviews buy I felt compelled to share my experience with Steve. Now here's the thing I called at 5:30 pm on a Saturday and he answered! It was on a whim and im so happy that I found him and reached out. I explained my what I feel might be a "messy" situation trying to get divorced. He listened with no judgement and told me that I already seem to know what to do but let me help you if i can. He offered for me to fill out all my paperwork (because the court house lost my divorce paperwork SMH) and when I have it all in order to email him and he said he will not charge me for him to look it over. I have called a couple lawyers and no one ever offered me anything like this. I feel he really heard me and I am just so grateful that he answered my call. Going forward if I need to retain he is who I will be retaining. This man is very kind, humble and just a good guy. Thank you Steve you gave me my hope back that I lost for some time. I wish I could give more then 5 stars!

I rarely write online reviews, but i think it is critical in this instance, firstly, because I used Avvo in assisting with my legal selection and consumers need this data. So, I will be as honest as I can. Attorney Zlochiver is principled. I found his service to be based upon fairness and seeking the best outcome within the limits of the law, and done with an un-excitable, stable spirit. This sometimes was a sticking point for us. My opponent was aggressive and angry, and I wanted more energy; wisely, Attorney Zlochiver did not return all of the flaming brands I requested of him. In the end, for better or worse, he tempered my anger and frustration with my case. Attorney Zlochiver is responsive. He was always reachable by email and phone. Reasonable response times were always met. In summary, if you are seeking retribution and revenge, I don't think you'll find satisfaction here. I occasionally felt as though we could have been more aggressive--going on the offensive vs. a defensive posture, but Steve knew it would have been a futile, mis-use of my fee and he was careful about fee utilization.

In searching for a family lawyer, I had three criteria: 1) A competent lawyer who is familiar with the presiding judge. It is important that the lawyer knows what the judge looks for in a case both in the court room and the filed documentation. He was able to advise of the proper strategy to get the best case scenario without having the situation spiral into a more contentious case. 2) An objective lawyer who has enough court-room experience to be realistic in assessing possible outcomes. Rather than simply being hopeful, he suggested contingencies for the most plausible decisions that the judge may make during the hearing. 3) An understanding lawyer who would work with my limited budget & time. Mr. Zlochiver took on my case knowing of my financial situation and worked into the late evening on new documentation in order to bolster my case the following morning. Steven Zlochiver certainly does not comes to mind when you think of the typical ambulance-chasing lawyer. Not a shark. Not a clock watcher. Rather, someone you definitely want in your corner who is willing to relate to your circumstances.

I can’t possibly say enough about Navid. He indeed has the perfect amount of pressure and gentleness that is needed to navigate very challenging situations. He’s been doing this for decades and has a natural ability to gauge what may transpire and what to do to overcome it. He has an incredible presence… which as a female in this situation, made me feel safe. Navid truly has “your back” in all ways and you want him on your team. I couldn’t have done this without him. I knew my opposing party was not going to fight clean and because of Navid, it was still ok. He, thankfully, helped me navigate a confusing situation... not to mention it was last min and over a holiday. Thank you.

I googled pro-Bono attorneys, since I’m a full time single mom right now and up against a wealthy abusive ex. Even though it turned out Navid doesn’t work pro bono, he still generously and patiently answered all of my questions. He calmed me down and even though he had a trial the next day he generously gave me an hour of his time, which I’m very grateful for! He is professional and knowledgeable. But most importantly compassionate and caring. Though we all need to make a living he isn’t driven by $$$ only, but rather by being of help to parents in difficult situations.

I hired Navid Noorparvar and his partner Ryan McEachern 2 years ago for a difficult custody issue. They were honest with me about the difficulty in winning our case but still had a strategy for maximizing my chances. They were responsive, intelligent, prepared, knowledgeable, and the advocates I needed to protect my rights.  They helped me achieve the positive result I desired despite the odds against me. I have worked with them multiple times now and EVERY time we’ve been to court they have achieved positive results and will continue to utilize their services again should the situation arise. They truly care about their clients and their cases. I am truly grateful for their expertise as they have enabled me to protect the most important person in my life, my son.

When searching for an attorney to handle a personal and emotional matter, the need to find someone who is professional, knowledgeable and compassionate can be a difficult task. I found all of these characteristics and more in choosing and hiring Aimee Ashby Flanagan to handle my dissolution of marriage. During our initial phone call, Aimee and I discussed the particulars of my marriage and as uncomfortable as it was for me to approach the conversation, Aimee's calm and comforting demeanor quickly settled my unsure nerves. Upon our first face to face meeting (during the Covid -19 pandemic), Aimee politely answered each of my many questions, took ample time discussing the divorce process and welcomed my feedback. Never was I rushed into signing an agreement or pressured to hurry the process. Her communication, whether by email, telephone or in person was always articulate and excellent and her response time throughout the duration of my case was immediate an on-point. She continually provided status updates, which I appreciated greatly. I was made aware of any email communication between she and my future ex-husband; each time impressed with her professionalism and expertise. When the time came to file the final documents with the court, Aimee made sure I was 100% satisfied with the judgment agreement, spent ample time interpreting each document and again, answered my many questions. The decision to end a marriage can be direful and as to be expected, emotional. Aimee has a keen way of not only listening; but, reassuring that you will be all right. Any fear I experienced at the beginning of this process has transpired to an overwhelming sense of relief and gratitude. I highly recommend Aimee Ashby Flanagan. She is simply outstanding!

My divorce had a number of uncommon situations that might easily have baffled another attorney. Aimee not only navigated the difficult situations for me, but she also handled the divorce in such a manner that we resolved it completely with my ex-spouse as harmonious as possible. Most important, Aimee provided me with warm human understanding, coupled with her superb legal expertise. I could not have hoped for a better outcome and was so lucky to have the very best attorney.

I found Attorney Spivak through a Google search with the criteria, “impossible PFA cases”. His name popped up and I gave him a call. Long story short, he literally won an impossible PFA case. This man is legit. My fiancé has been in custody courts for 3 and a half years, and this man proved his case with one PFA hearing. I would also say that anyone who may have very complicated custody cases, to talk to Mr Spivak. He’s highly knowledgeable, and this man actually CARES about his clients. He will go to bat for you, he is very direct, and he will tell you what to expect. I say this with the most sincerity, I do not trust, like or even respect most attorneys. I have never had good experiences with most of them. I feel like they take your money , and that’s it. But this man is the real deal. I would highly recommend Attorney Spivak for any custody/PFA related cases. If I could give ten stars, I would.

After my attorney dropped the ball on several occasions I had no choice but to find another attorney. A case that definitely needed a seasoned criminal defense attorney. I contacted Beckwith Law, after my conversation with Cristine she agreed to take my case even though it was already months into the process. She immediately grabbed the ball and ran with it. I followed every suggestion she made. I was patient as I knew she was working for me, she kept me updated to all aspects of the case. I trusted her and her decisions for the way things were being handled, I was never left in the dark. She was able to get my charges reduced, an excellent outcome considering what could of been. I was willing to do the work that she suggested and she definitely went the extra mile. Hopefully I will never need a criminal defense attorney again but if I do Beckwith Law will be my first and only choice.

Beckwith Law assisted me in getting a no-contact order modified. It had been over year since the initial no-contact order was issued. Cristine's due diligence and explaining to me why being patient was best before the motion was filed. In my eyes it had been over a year since I was able to have communication with my life partner however, in the courts eyes it had only been four months. She understood that he did everything he needed to do and was able present a good argument to the judge to have the no-contact order lifted four months after his sentencing hearing. If you want an attorney who understands the judicial system and listen to their suggestions on how they handle a case Beckwith Law is an excellent choice.

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:
