I consulted with Rachel twice through my Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and retained her services, knowing that she would cover all aspects of my divorce proceedings. She provided education, adjunct resources, support, and transparency throughout. I truly could not have done this on my own and Rachel quickly responded to any questions/concerns I’ve had. Divorce is not an easy process but Rachel’s knowledge and expertise made this a seamless transition. I would definitely recommend Rachel Virk if you’re seeking a thorough, direct, and results-driven attorney. Great experience!

This is my second time writing a review for Ms. Virk, the first of which was under the name FDB. After retaining Ms. Virk, she delivered the most favorable outcome that I could imagine. She even directly helped both of my children, writing them letters for school on multiple occasions. She is a very caring lawyer, but more importantly a very caring person. She truly is invested in every one of her clients, and that attitude transcends any work she could do. Not to mention, she does amazing work. There is not a lawyer I could imagine that would positively affect me more than Mrs. Virk has. She is wonderful and I unequivocally recommend her to anyone in need of a compassionate divorce lawyer. Like I said in my first review, she is a warrior.

I hired Mr Williams over 8 years ago for an ESC case. He did an AWESOME job and won my case hands downs!! He also remembered exactly who I was, when I consulted him recently about a new case. Although I did not win my case, Mr Williams went above and beyond what I would have ever expected from him, and never charged me a dime. He was sincere, compassionate, light hearted and is just truly an incredible person and attorney. I highly recommend Jerome Williams, if you ever need help with the ESC!

Me Hudspeth not only helped us but he believed in me when others were doubting me. Not only was he attentive, focused but he also helped get my child’s voice heard as it wasn’t before. I can’t tell you how much he did for my family as a whole. He will forever be not just our attorney, but someone we call and friend for everything he did. If I could ever recommend an attorney in Onslow county or the surrounding area I’m telling you he is the way to go. He’s not going to make you any promises but when he gives you his word that he’ll do his absolute best it’s more than you could imagine. Again, I can’t thank you enough with our outcome.

I do not even know where to start on how fortunate I was to have Ed and Spencer on my side for a brutal divorce proceeding. I will summarize how awesome Ed and his team were, but I really want to highlight his ability to be caring and to listen throughout the two year battle. This was an emotionally draining and a hard two year fight. Ed was extremely honest with me and didn’t play games wasting time. I was always kept informed and knew my options. Ed was relentless and knew the law which ultimately lead to us winning at trial. From the day he took my case I put full trust into him and I feel this was such a success because of that. He knows the law and is phenomenal at trial in front of a judge! Ed was very thorough and was always very forthcoming on what he needed from me. I had to trust him though the process and I’m so glad I did. My ex was a complete liar and fabricated so many lies throughout the two years, there were multiple contempts and hearings while we waited for trial. Ed was always on his A game and was able to shut down the other side without issues. Ultimately, Ed and his team were always very well prepared and he knew my case inside and out. He was able to come out on top of the divorce proceedings and got more than I ever thought possible from trial. This was all due to his due diligence in the case. Do not hesitate hiring him!!

This is the second time I tried an uncontested divorce and it went much much better. The first time was through an online "fill in the blank" site that was useless. This firm provides great directions along the way to try to prevent it from becoming contested. I had to give in a little which is fine so I could get it over with. If it did I had options to try to settle it. Bo is honest about the process and all fees, and tells you exactly what to do. There are NO surprise charges or fees. All in all I'd use this firm again, as he did his job admirably.

Mr. Weintraub was my lawyer for a modification of child-support gate. I think he did a really good job of figuring out my former spouses actual income versus what was reported and even corrected Washington State’s calculations. He looked at his finances and tax returns and I think his tax background helped a lot which is one reason I hired him. Other lawyers I consulted didn’t point them out. He has a very helpful staff and was less cost than many others quoted, so I’m very happy with his overall work.

I was referred to him by a friend who had retained him previously, and after my initial consultation decided to go with his office for legal assistance. His office was able to explain the legal jargon in an easily understandable fashion, assisted me with my required paperwork for the legal filings, and were empathic in their approach during a very stressful time for me. They were prompt with their responses to my questions, and reached out to help remind me of specific deadlines we had to meet.

Attorney Wing helped me to create and send a demand letter when my former landlord failed to pay me back my duly owed security deposit. His assistance gave me the confidence to pursue a matter that felt intimidating. In the past, I've dealt with lawyers that came off as being aloof and unpersonable. Attorney Wing, by contrast, is an extraordinarily genuine person who simultaneously manages to deftly navigate the law for his clients-- a balancing act which was impressive to behold, and which made me feel at all times that I was in good hands. I also had the chance to work with Karen, his paralegal, who was attentive and quick with communications. I could not recommend Attorney Wing's services more highly.

This lawyer knows how the legal system works from a to z and if you are being falsely accused he will fight for you until the end. He worked tirelessly along with is assistant to get a false charge dismissed and was successful. Do not waste your time looking at reviews that say anything negative about this lawyer.

I hired Rebecca to make changes to my parenting plan that was poorly done due to lack of representation in my final divorce hearing. My ex was taking advantage of the lack of clarity, detail and a parenting schedule. Rebecca was very direct, stern and played hard ball. She kept me informed every step of the way. She fought hard for everything that was in the best interest of my daughter and me. She was available everytime I needed her and had a question or concern. She was great to work with. I trusted her and that was a major thing because my daughters safety was a huge concern. I was very happy with the outcome of everything and happy I hired Rebecca.

I was fortunate enough to have Rebecca as an attorney for a few years.

I am thankful for Rebecca's legal support through the most difficult of times, and recommend her expertise wholeheartedly to anyone who would like to be represented by an attorney who consistently acts in an upright manner. If your case is about parental rights, you can rest assured that Rebecca will consistently place the best interest of the child(ren) first, and if you are like me, that will put your mind at ease when leaning on her council.

I took my friend's recommendation and now have worked with Rebecca on two separate occasions to make modifications to my parenting plan and custody agreement.

It’s been 5 years since my divorce. I am finally able to write a review. The entire process was horrible and caused PTSD. Eric and his team made my situation the best it could be. He came in to my divorce as a second atty. First atty that I had for 9 months was horrible. Eric wrapped up my complicated case in 3 months - he was incredible! I am not from this arena of power house negotiating or strategy. I am so grateful he was up against my ex and his atty. He fought swiftly, intentionally and successfully. He understood my abilities and my lack of abilities. He fully read the opposing team and their antics/personalities/“wrong doings” to the max degree. He was emotionally there for me…as I felt scared and weak. Being a stay at home mom is a wonderful opportunity I was afforded in life. But a divorce process is extremely intimidating to this inferior position. When there is a sense of no control or ability to access family money-this feels like drowning. Eric was a gentleman and moved with professional integrity while being challenged with extreme undue stress from the opposing team. If you feel like an underdog-you need Eric-I can only speak from that vantage point. I am better than ever-it’s taken me time to move past the negative experience. My financial situation and future are stable thanks to this team…they play fair and win. I will always chose to move in life with integrity - exactly how Eric operates!

I could not have had a better attorney for my divorce case. He wasn’t my first attorney for the divorce . Many times things were falling apart with my original council, who had poor ethics and bled so much of my finances running me in the ground with little done. This is when I and hired mr shumer who took the challenge when my case was a mess. He quickly pulled everything together and tied up every loose string in record timing. My only regret is not finding him first! He was recommended by a friend of mine, who also spoke very high of him. There is much more I can go on to explain what a god send he was for me, and I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for him. He was always honest, put me at ease with his guidance , updated me promptly with any developments, and truely seemed to care. And was very generous with his billing which was another plus ! Haha. Sometimes I feel he cut himself short for being so generous . What else can I say, he was my guardian angle.

As a young mother going through a divorce, I had many questions, little knowledge about family law, and he was able to answer all of my questions and make me feel comfortable. He has made himself available to me during emergency situations when I needed his expert advice or to "talk me down" from exploding.

Jonas helped me through a difficult transition in which I needed to leave a job before my contract ended. He was prompt in his communication and very generous with his input and advice. He made time before and afterwards to discuss further and has remained a dependable lawyer that I can count on when I have questions. I highly recommend Jonas and am grateful for his important services.

I had a complicated situation where in i had to get divorce through publication as my husband & i had not been in contact for 5 years & i was out of US for few years. (it was an abusive marriage) I reside in Buffalo & i spoke with several attorneys locally but i did not feel that any of the local attorneys were able able to understand my situation. Some suggested that i locate my husband & each one of them wanted to start by identifying & listing the assets. Unsatisfied, i started looking for attorneys in NY city and I found Ms Brenner through Avvo. During the consultation she was extremely kind & understanding and agreed to take on my case. Ms Brenner helped me get divorce through publication and she / her team took care of everything. All i had to do was provide her with documentation. I am grateful to Ms Brenner for helping me get out of a sticky stressful situation. I would definitely recommend her to anybody in similar situation. Thank you, Ms Brenner.

Lois acted as the mediator in my divorce, and she was absolutely excellent. It was a very difficult time for me personally, but Lois made the process as easy and painless as it could possibly have been. She listened to each of us separately, and made thoughtful and helpful suggestions. She is fair, and seemed to genuinely care about finding a solution that was best for both parties. Lois is perfectly qualified to handle this type of situation, given her background in psychology. She truly understands people, and used this ability to keep my ex-husband and I calm, and smoothly navigate a few tricky situations. I felt very understood by Lois, and think that she not just a top-quality attorney, but also a very decent person. She is responsive, and answered my emails within a couple of minutes every time. Highly rated!

I hired Shawn and he charged a fair price. He walked me through the process in Collin County. Even with a previous record and being sent to prison for a DWI, he did what seemed impossible at first and got me probation for my case. My daughter graduates from high school in May 2024. Thanks to Shawn I’m a free man and able to be there for my only child’s graduation & the move to college @ Ok St. in the fall.

Tricia is the absolute best lawyer I could have hired to help with my divorce. She is calm, experienced, powerful, and caring. When I needed reassurance, she was rock solid in restoring my confidence that everything would work out. She helped me feel safe during a very uncertain time by providing me with the answers to any and all questions I had about the divorce process and what I needed to do to prepare for mediation. Tricia understands divorce cases in and out, taking care of clients business and emotional needs. She was always available when I needed her and helped keep mediation proceedings to one day which saved time, energy, and money. With the perfect blend of powerful professionalism and supportive reassurance, hiring Tricia is worth every penny spent and I know she is truly happy to have given me a fresh start.

Dawn Renken is by far the best attorney I have ever hired. Dawn worked hard and won custody of my 2 girls for me. Dawn was tactical, perfectly prepared and dominate in court over the course of 10 + appearances. Dawn's courtroom prowess is undeniable as she was able take on 4 different attorneys over the course of 2 years and win. Dawn is professional and straight forward in direction to her clients so that they know what to expect and how to navigate the legal process. If your are looking for a tough, smart, agile and dominate lawyer....look no further. Hire Dawn!

I hired Dawn out of my search in Avvo and I was not disappointed. She not only knows the law in Texas like the palm of her hand, but most importantly knows the Courts in Harris County, the judges, and the procedures very well. She's a master of the rules of engagement in front of the judge and in my case practically destroyed the opposing counsel (politely and professionally) in Court proceedings. She's also very personable and fun to be around. My divorce case was handled expeditiously and successfully beyond my expectations. I strongly recommend you hire Dawn to represent you.

First let me say...do not go into a divorce without your own attorney!!! I almost waited too long to hire Dawn. While on the phone, she pulled the information on the courthouse records she told me to get in as soon as I could that afternoon. It wasn't what was stated in the paperwork it was the ambiguous terms that were used. Dawn is direct, aggressive, very busy which sometimes makes her hard to reach and a darn good negotiator. She knows her stuff. Don't go see her if you want a shrink...go to her if you want to be well represented. Make sure your expectations are realistic and you will do well. The "friendly" divorce paperwork was full of open ended statements that would have cost me more than my legally fair share. With that being said she warned me right from the beginning that we are now negotiating a business transaction not a friendly settlement. You can go back to friendly after the divorce is final. You have to take care of your interests and Dawn will do that for you in legalese if you let her. Sometimes you wonder where she is going in her logic... but just sit back, watch and listen...she knows what she is doing. I think if I had been as aggressive as she suggested I may have done better...but I couldn't let go of the relationship. Remember if you are enlisting the help of an attorney (Dawn)...your relationship is over...so let her get down to business. She is very good in mediation. She understands how to effectively work through the process. She should since she offers mediation services in her practice. I think the most impressive thing and the sign of a well respected attorney is when we went to the courthouse (unfortunately we had to go), she was known by many of the court employees, officials and other attorneys that were waiting for their time slot. If you are reading this I am sorry you are having to go through it...but I think Dawn is a good choice. By the way she was recommended to me by another satisfied client.

Two kids; one house; one dog; and a divorce. It wasnt that complicated but to her it was the end of the world… ww3 and it had already been going on for years when I first hired Mr. Salamone. To Say I should’ve hired him first as an understatement. I had my first lawyer, because all he did was talk about how much he “saw” in my case and how much he could fight and get for me. In the end, it just cost me money. Salamone is different. What it is he always showed how he could get me out of this with my shirt still on my back. I highly recommend him. He didnt get this successful giving out bad advice. You dont always have to fight to win you just have to be smart about things and listen to good advice. Listen to this lawyer you wont be sorry

If you are looking for a family law attorney in Montgomery County, TX, you will find no one better than Jack Riley. Jack was referred to us by another Conroe family attorney who we found on Avvo, and considered, but he did not have the cycles for our case. This other attorney who referred Jack is not simply a friend, but a respected opponent. I didn't learn this until after the fact, and I now understand why he was recommended. After working with a number of attorneys and being disappointed, Jack Riley is by far the best. In addition to being smart and understanding family law, he is extremely responsive. Unlike other attorneys, Jack does not overload himself with cases, and this allows him to stay on top of things and keep you up-to-date on the status of the case. He's also compassionate, and is a true advocate. If you're tired of attorneys who don't follow through and put your case in jeopardy, hire Jack. I might be the best decision you have ever made especially if kids are involved.

Mr. Riley is a very experienced and professional attorney. I was referred to him by another attorney and have now utilized his expertise on two occasions. He is a consummate gentleman and is always consistent in keeping me updated on important developments, status of my position in the case as well as his personal recommendations based on 25 years of experience. I found him to be forthright and yet never even approaching an adversarial position. His expertise led my cases to a conclusion that was satisfactory to both parties represented and left no ill will on either side of the case. I would give him the highest possible evaluation score and will say without any reservation that Mr. Riley is the epitome of what I would refer to as an attorney that every client represented by him would feel comfortable, informed, confident, and satisfied.

  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?

    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.

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.

    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.

    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?

  • 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:

      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.
