Rebecca got me through a really hard divorce a few years ago. She was kind and patient with me while also being very attentive. If she wasn’t emailing me she was calling me to give me updates (even on weekends sometimes). My life took a 180 turn faster than the speed of light and I’m so glad she was by my side! Today we are all so happy, healthy and thriving. Hiring her was hands down the best decision I made. If you need a lawyer you can depend on- I highly recommend Rebecca.

After interviewing several divorce lawyers, I chose Mrs. Coleman because she offered more legal advice in my first consultation than all the others combined. I came in scared but left feeling like I struck gold. The divorce process was tough, but she never wavered. She was available during true emergencies, answering emails and calls after hours. Her attention to detail and knowledge of Alabama law were outstanding. Even a seasoned lawyer in my family said I couldn’t have hired anyone better. Mrs. Coleman is well-respected by her peers and the court system. She was patient, direct, and transparent with me, even when I needed to hear hard truths. Trust her advice, follow her instructions, and everything will work out, knowing that El Shaddai is guiding her every step of the way.

Attorney Howe is a thorough attorney; asking relevant questions and ensuring that I understood the legal process. He advised me into taking best course of action, the potential outcomes, and prepared me for each outcome. He helped through each phase of the divorce process. Any legal questions I had, he was able to answer in a way I could understand. He kept me informed of any changes. He also walked me through what could and did happen at the hearing. He was professional and patient as well as compassionate and kind. He was well prepared and ready to help me put this behind me. His knowledge of the law and the court proceedings eased the process, as there were no surprises he was unprepared. I highly recommend attorney Howe should you require legal representation.

My husband was caught with distributing drugs and was facing a mandatory of 24 months in jail. We have two little girls and I automatically assumed my life would turn upside down. I contacted my uncle who hired Ben Datika in the past for his sons case. Long story short Ben Datika comforted me and promised me that he will do his best on my husbands case. It is very hard for us financially and I explained this along with our other family issues to Ben and he went above and beyond trying to calm me down and work out a payment plan with me. I really appreciate everything you have done for my husband and myself. Ben came through with his promise and worked out a deal were my husband would only serve 30 days in jail with no probation.

Dedecker I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding legal support provided by Michael Dedecker during our adoption case. Facing a time-sensitive situation involving a novel law that most attorneys were hesitant to tackle, Michael stepped up to the challenge with unwavering dedication and professionalism. From the outset, Michael demonstrated his commitment to our case by exhaustively researching options and took time to seek the expertise when needed. Despite encountering dead ends in finding a more experienced attorney, Michael never wavered in his determination to assist us. He took it upon himself to thoroughly understand the complexities of the law in question and diligently gathered all necessary materials within an incredibly tight timeframe. When our case proceeded to trial, Michael's meticulous preparation and profound understanding of both the law and our circumstances were evident. He presented our case with confidence, clarity, and a depth of knowledge that instilled trust and assurance in us throughout the proceedings. Michael's unwavering support, professionalism, and expertise were invaluable assets throughout our legal journey. Thanks to his guidance and advocacy, we achieved a successful outcome that exceeded our expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend Michael Dedecker to anyone seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable lawyer.

From the very beginning of our journey through the complex legal landscape of family law, Michael stood out as not just a lawyer, but as a beacon of hope for our family. Initially, we brought him on board for what was to be a de facto hearing. However, as our case evolved and became more intricate, Michael's role in our lives grew. Michael possessed an uncanny ability to simplify the convoluted legal processes we were facing. He meticulously broke down each step, ensuring we understood the implications and strategies at play. His approach was not just about guiding us legally but also about educating us, empowering us to make informed decisions throughout our case. Communication was one of Michael's strongest suits. He proactively kept us in the loop with every development, big or small. Whether it was through emails, phone calls, or in-person meetings, Michael made sure we were never left wondering what was happening with our case. His transparency built a foundation of trust that was invaluable during such a stressful time. Perhaps what set Michael apart the most was his calm and reassuring presence. Family law cases, especially those leading to adoption, are fraught with emotional highs and lows. Michael's steady demeanor was a constant source of comfort. Knowing he was on our side made the journey less daunting. His confidence and compassion alleviated much of the anxiety and uncertainty that often accompany legal battles. In the end, our case concluded more favorably than we could have ever imagined - we were able to adopt a child and officially welcome them into our family. This life-changing outcome was, without doubt, significantly influenced by Michael's unwavering dedication, profound expertise, and heartfelt commitment to our case. Choosing Michael as our attorney was one of the best decisions we've ever made. Not only did he navigate us through the legalities with unparalleled professionalism, but he also provided moral support that transcended the typical attorney-client relationship. For anyone facing the complexities of family law, especially those considering adoption, Michael is an exceptional choice. His impact on our family will be cherished forever.

Michael proved to be all of that and more throughout the entire court process. We have had other layers, and I can’t understate how important it is to have a lawyer who can communicate with you with these qualities during a child custody case. I would 10/10 recommend Michael and continue to use him in the future for any needs.

I had the pleasure of working with Earl Kavanaugh for my family law needs, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for his support and expertise. His intelligence and strategic approach to family law truly sets him apart. From our very first meeting, it was clear that he is not only a strong advocate for his clients but also deeply compassionate and understanding. Throughout the process, Earl remained professional and level-headed, guiding me with clarity and confidence. He took the time to listen to my concerns, making sure I felt supported every step of the way. He was a strong advocate not only for the immediate legal issues at hand, but also considerate of the short- and long-term implications of the possible avenues in my case. His kindness and consideration made a world of difference during a stressful period. I wholeheartedly recommend Earl Kavanaugh to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and caring family law attorney.

I seriously don't think I could reccomend Earl enough. My case started in Febuary of 2022 when my child's father after years of no contact, got married and they decided they wanted to start having visitations with my daughter. I was skeptical after his inconsistency and abandonment for years prior but Earl was able to put a plan in place that not only made me comfortable, but a plan that also kept my daughter in a safe controlled environment. After that failed to happen we were able to file a motion to terminate his rights and protect my daughter from someone whom lacks pure intentions. Earl was fantastic at fighting for myself and my child. He always explained things clearly and made sure if I had questions that he would answer them. After 2 and a half years of going through the courts there were times I found myself feeling a bit anxious for what was to come. Earl stood his ground for me and was all around the best choice I could have made to ensure my daughter has the future she deserves. Thank you to Earl and team for going above and beyond and never stopping at anything to fight for your clients.

David outshines every attorney! As someone who has been through family law hell and a custody nightmare, trusting an attorney is a challenge. David understands DV, coercive control, post separation abuse and a litigant weaponizing the legal system to hurt and destroy their ex. Above all, he understands the needs of the child and cares about the children. I believe he has young kids himself so perhaps it’s why he is able to quickly and immediately identify when an abuser is just going above and beyond to hurt the other party, but in reality hurting their child. While they say to leave emotions out of everything, David certainly fights for the best interest of your children as if they are his own. I searched high and low for someone that understands nonphysical DV like David does and I can’t be more fortunate to have him advocating on behalf of my children and me. His entire office is exceptional, caring and compassionate. I have not personally worked with Stephanie Palo but I also hear she is knowledgeable and exceptional. It gives me that extra confidence in the event she ever needs to step in if David is away or unavailable. If you want a kind, strong, knowledgeable, and sensitive attorney who will fight for you and most importantly, your children…I highly recommend David Cardamone!

Melissa was fantastic. We partnered on my prenuptial at later stages. And, in hindsight I do wish I had started the initial process with her. I entered the conversation initially thinking most of the heavy lifting was done; however, it was quickly apparent there were more topics that needed to be addressed and quickly. She was responsive, accountable, respectful of my time, and helped me to prioritize and to de stress a time sensitive and overall stressful period. She also knew the counsel on the other side which also helped to expedite contact and document turns. Post wedding date she also followed up with a personal note - which I thought was a nice touch. As a client service partner who eats, lives and breathes time sensitive situations - I greatly appreciated Melissa's efforts, communication style, transparency, and time.

He was incredibly reasonable in regards to billing. Kyle’s action and attention to my case changed the course of our lives for the better. There came a point that I knew, no matter what my ex threw at me, I was going to be okay because I had one of the best lawyers in town. It was clear that he had the best interest of everyone involved at heart and wanted things to be fair. And that means everything when your family is on the line. Any threat that came my way was met with a steady, “Okay, that’s fine, I have the best lawyer in town, see you in court.” I will be forever grateful for that kind of confidence in a moment where my morale had been so beat down.

When my attorney quit on me right before trial, I reached out to friends for a recommendation. Three people who don't even know each other recommended Jordan to me and I have been SO GRATEFUL for how amazing, patient, diligent, kind, detailed and knowledgeable he is. Jordan took my case when no one else would, they said it was too hard, too much work, too much pressure with the timeline. But I could tell Jordan believed in my case and genuinely wanted to help me and my children. My case has been sticky, emotional, drawn out and basically awful. He got me through trial, relieving my anxieties, helping me feel grounded knowing the statues that protected my family and really just supported me beyond measure. I will recommend him to anyone I know and I'm satisfied with his help in every way. He is trustworthy and thorough. Thank you for all that you do Jordan!

Jordan Zitron is smart and compassionate! He made a highly difficult, emotional situation as smooth as possible. His in-depth knowledge of the law ensured I got the best outcome for a challenging situation. Jordan is calm, he listens to all the details, and is realistic with what the possible outcomes can be for the situation. He is understanding of the emotions involved in these situations, and patiently worked through what my goals were for me and my children. He was consistently prompt and on top of every piece along the way. I recommend him to everyone who needs support with family law, and he has done nothing but exceed expectations!

I was in a not-at-fault auto accident in Colorado Springs, where I was rear-ended, and my car was totaled. After speaking with Mr. Clawson, I retained him as my attorney. Mr. Clawson and his team were courteous and professional and provided exceptional representation. I received a settlement more significant than I could have imagined. I highly recommend the Clawson Team for any bodily injury accident claim! The free initial consultation was also helpful! Thank you.

My medical bills added up quickly, and I never thought they would all be covered, let alone get money for me. I was amazed at the outcome.

Their rates are extremely competitive and they will not charge you a penny more than they quoted you. Overall, an amazing experience and I would highly recommend them.

In a normal world when a person needs an attorney it is usually for writing a will, settling an estate or buying property. In the abnormal world of bitter divorces and family ravaging child custody cases a person needs more than an attorney; that person needs a counselor who knows children, is more than familiar with divorce settlements, shares empathy for the war-torn victims of one-sided bullying, gets involved both professionally and emotionally with her clients and exhibits a mastery of case law practicing it on the high side of ethics and morality. In Jacksonville, that attorney is Cindy Lasky of the Lasky Law Firm. During a recent case involving our family Cindy Lasky needed all of the afore mentioned traits to lead us to victory in a courtroom dominated by difficult and harassing opposing attorneys and their determined client. She practiced the type of law and defense that rose above all the baseless trumped up charges, innuendo, and limitless petitions / motions brought by the opposition designed to influence a judge who wouldn’t have it. Cindy Lasky exposed all the falsehoods and mistakes of the opposition by using carefully worded case law precedents, and keeping exact records of statements made, issues visited, and claims asserted. All this was not without trepidation. Every step of the way to final victory, Cindy was all-in on both the work she needed to do, much of it after normal office hours, and the emotions that a mother feels for her own children and their welfare. Cindy Lasky was the whole package for us in our time of need and I can tell she does the same for all her clients. She surely made my day as the final judgement came down; and she made the many sleepless nights worrying beforehand disappear from my emotional memory. In addition, her staff is super-efficient, cordial, and comforting; and both the staff and Cindy made themselves amicably available for our many impromptu queries. Thank you.

In 2007 he put together our Trust for our family. Now in 2024 with all the new laws and changes we found ourselves in need of an update. Again we called on this firm to do the necessary update.

I retained Attorney Shore for a divorce agreement modification. All I can say is WOW. Hands down the best Attorney I have ever hired in my entire life. She is tough, smart, and not afraid to tackle difficult and sensitive issues with a firm and caring hand. I have never seen someone stand up for my rights in court the way that Attorney Shore did. She worked with me out of state, spent long hours on my case, all while she was EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT. I can not put into words what her representation has meant to me and my family. If you do not hire Attorney Shore, you are not hiring the best.

I woke up the day after court feeling such a relief and freedom, knowing I was finally heard in court and I feel like I'm finally capable of protecting my son the way I'm supposed to because of your help! Katrina, thank you so much for the multiple phone calls and emails and calming down my obsessive, projective mind. You always made me feel like I wasn't crazy and my feelings were valid and I knew anytime I spoke with you I'd feel better and you were always so on top of everything. Ms. James, thank you so much for all of the time and effort you spent doing what you do best. For sharing your confidence with me before court appearances when I was such a mess. For the amazing set of questions you asked me in court to let my whole story really be heard and for giving me a voice in court when I felt like I couldn't speak up for myself enough.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

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

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
