Dawn and Jessica had been by my side through the ups and downs of my divorce, they were quick to response with any questions or concerns I may have had. Dawn fought hard for what was fair and what I deserved. Dawn and Jessica, in my opinion, should be the team to have at your side. They are very professional and caring; I couldn't have asked for a better team to work with through my divorce.

Ms. Dawn, is the BEST by far! Her and her staff assisted me when I needed assistance with my legal matters. I would use her and her team again if need be. She helped me in so many ways.

Eric Limegrover took care of my case with patience, experience, and empathy. He made adequate time for my case while being cost-effective and efficient. I'm more than satisfied with the results of this firm given the time and money devoted to my case. I would recommend them to anybody, especially those facing a case with higher conflict.

I was not sure what to expect. I didn’t know if their purposed consultation time would enough time. All my notes were taken by an assistant and given to the legal councilor before our conversation so the lawyer was already up to speed when we talked for the first time. I really think their system is refined by their experience and it shows that it’s designed to best help those seeking advice. Sidney was so kind. Very great at explaining and educating me of my rights and what I can expect in various outcomes. So I may plan my next move with thought and strategy. I would definitely seek advice from Sidney again. She is very easy to talk to. Very knowledgeable of the laws and wonderful resources to offer for more information or questions. Thanks Sidney!

You cannot go wrong hiring Lisa. She’s Incredibly responsive and efficient (Carrie too!). She truly understands how devastating divorce can be and I always felt like she was looking out for my best interest. She was always professional (even in challenging situations) and made sure all my bases were covered. Hire her. You won’t regret it.

Mark Galler lost $90k of my money. He told me that my witness did not show up over phone or in person, but he was on the phone waiting for over 2 hours. I felt like Mark Galler and the other party had too much coordination in the courtroom for someone who wasn't represented, and when I asked for the communication record, I was told I'd need to pay for it too. They knew full well that they had taken all my money and had the audacity to tell me I needed to pay more to them to find evidence of collusion.

I came to Andrew Bryant last year after dealing with a chaotic separation. I had two children with my ex and she had made my life extremely difficult with communication, scheduling, doctor appointments, schooling and multiple other issues. Heather took me as a client and immediately my life got easier, she communicated with my ex during the entire process and made sure everything went as smoothly as possible. She was extremely professional and got me fully prepared for trial. She walked us through each step we were going to take during the trial and eased us through the entire situation. By the end of the trial the judge removed all my child support obligations and gave me full 50/50 rights. Since the case she has checked in with us multiple times and made sure everything is still running smoothly, which it is! The last 5 months since the trial have been so much easier dealing with my ex now that everything is set in stone. We are very happy with all the work Heather and the the team at Andrew Bryant did for us! 10/10 would definitely recommend!

My name is Rachel Newton. In January 2024 I hired Heather Atkinson to represent me in my child custody case. Heather and Donna (paralegal) were wonderful representation. I knew they cared about myself and my case. Opposing council, representing the other party, was Greg Maceau. In about August 2024, Heather contacted me to let me know that Mr. Maceau would be moving over to Andrew Bryant’s law firm, and that it would be ok because there would be a “Chinese wall” implemented so Mr. Maceau would not have access to my case. My trial was set for October 2024, and two days prior to trial, Ms. Atkinson was disqualified as representing me as my lawyer because Andrew Bryant had hired Mr. Maceau to his law firm. Andrew Bryant and Mr. Maceau had told Ms. Atkinson this was ok, but upon reviewing rule, did not obtain the other party’s signature saying it was ok for Ms. Atkinson to continue to represent me after Mr. Maceau moved to the law firm. Ms. Atkinson called to apologize about the situation, and I had to find and retain a new lawyer, my trial date canceled and postponed. Obviously this was very distressing after already waiting for 10 months to go to trial, and spending a lot of money and time. Andrew Bryant could have waited two months to hire Mr. Maceau. He could have notified me that I needed to find a new lawyer prior to paying his lawyers to prep for my trial. Andrew Bryant never called me, tried to remediate the situation, or provide me assistance, even though this occurred because of his negligence and oversight. All I got was an invoice for $5k for my attorney and paralegal prepping for trial, and then turned around and had to pay another $5k retainer to hire a new attorney. Not to mention the lawyer fees that have accrued for the new lawyer to set a new trial date, have a new status conference hearing, prep for trial, etc. etc. While I would always recommend Heather and Donna as representation, I do not think it is the best idea to hire Andrew Bryant as your representing law firm. It might just cost you an extra $15k to your lawyer fees.

I highly recommend Knies, Helland & McPherson. Jenni (Helland) did an amazing job. My ex and her attorney were very antagonistic, liked to draw out the process, and did everything they could to drive up legal fees. Jenni was great in understanding what was happening and the likely outcomes or consequences. She avoided emotional arguments, and instead made sound legal ones. More importantly, she advised me when I was making an emotional decision and gave recommendations on what actions I could take that would be legally successful. Having someone in your corner that was willing to tell you what you needed to hear, instead of what you wanted to hear saved me thousands of dollars. This is not a law firm that will needlessly drive up costs. For example, I was never charged for attorneys fees for anyone Jenni may have consulted with (this is a frequent tactic of less reputable law firms). I was never given a weekly 'update' that created billing hours even if nothing was happening in the case. Jenni never had me make needless discovery requests, subpoenas or motions that are typical and drive up costs. I had a more experienced and higher hourly rate attorney than my ex, but my ex's legal fees were 30% higher because of all the shenanigans they played. Jenni will give you the legal experience you need without driving up costs.

Unfortunately I felt highly pressured during mediation to settle my case and after having other attornies review my case post decree there were mistakes and missteps made with an extremely lopsided agreement, I also didn't get presented with 30 days to contest the decision, I should have gone to trial - the outcome was presented to me to be much much worse but I have to think that was not the case, and certainly I was rushed through this process with little preparation at the final mediation hearing. I had paid for a lot of reports (over 10K) - including a business valuation (one CPA opinion), an educational evaluation and a forensic accounting report, where my ex wrecked my books- there were no financial consequences for her actions instead it was a mess and the business valuation pointed this out- but she got half the business value ?? WTF ? Because I am not a millionaire but still a business owner, with a complex business case- I was bambozzled out of over 400K of my life's work and self made, self educated - working hard prior to the marriage and I lost it all property assets, high-value items, vehicles and 1/2 my retirement - to a "uneducated loser" really ? Something went horribly wrong here. Avoiding trial may be what some lawyers like to do - and this is the case here, I should have gone to trial and switched attorney's - instead I get billed for withdrawing from my case, probably for the best. The depth of preparation and really digging into to my financials - which as I was working full time - painting the picture was not something this attorney did for me and what I expected and paid for so there was a clearcut strategy, instead I ended up having to do the heavy lifting and I no a legal mind and certainly have not been through this kind of analysis before- I did it - I made it happen with all the forms and obviously there were mistakes made here, not considering business operating expenses and I AM the business - I quit the business there is no cashflow- my income and business go hand in hand, the only thing I got out of it was the business back in my name, big whoop because my ex is still extracting a huge alimony payment per month, that is NOT sustainable and based on 1 year of income - not realistic with economic ups and down- and who knows how it was calculated ? I think that was a huge mis-step in my case, so back to court I go- again huge dollars spent here and huge dollars lost - my life's work and savings for a money grubber to take it all. Be careful when hiring this attorney and do your homework - if trial is to be avoided then perhaps this will work for you. In addition I believe - being a civil union there is less care or concern and there is an eerily similar case - another same sex couple that had the same outcome, seems to be a churn and burn, grind through the system and accept your losses. I will never accept it - and it has and is the ruin fo my life, all I can hope for is karma at this point - don't expect the legal system to help you or navigate your financial life - because accordingly - get a pre-nuptial- well of course - I expected a better outcome and instead I live with constant regret and now I know I was given a raw deal, pick your attorney wisely - if you have tons or cash or no cash perhaps this attorney is a good choice, with a simple personal asset split, but if a business is involved I think to pick wisely as I know there were mistakes made - particularly in the business valuation, there was not enough stones unturned in this case but the picture painted was certainly not the reality, like my ex was this rosey contributor- very much the opposite and racked up all the debt and spend spend spend without any consequences- yet she gets it all- the system is truly not on the bread-winners side, and it retrospect I don't think this attroney fought like a tiger to win win win- her's sure did and had a reputation of mean- that is what it takes hire mean to win.

The firm was very receptive and attentive to my request for services. As a potential client residing outside the state, I contacted the firm on 9/12 and requested that an attorney contact me back. Attorney Eric Anaya contacted me the following day and was extremely courteous while providing detailed information about the services requested (including expected timeline). After hiring the firm, my case was handled with efficiency and candor. A resounding 'Thank you' to Eric and Angela! I would highly recommend Anaya & Chadderdon, P.C.

Full disclosure, I couldn't afford them. But they tried working with me and came up with many ways to try and help me. Even when I wasn't being responsive Arra would call and text me with new ideas to help and sometimes just to make sure I was ok. They showed me that they respected my veteran status and had more heart and compassion than anyone else I had called by miles.

The Right Law Group was very helpful from the day I contacted them for assistance. My legal team, Nick and Jimmy were always available when I needed an answer for the entire DUI process. They were extremely positive and always had an answer or would find what I needed. Their attention to my case helped with receiving a deferred sentence and the minimum for probation requirements.

I was not sure what to expect. I didn’t know if their purposed consultation time would enough time. All my notes were taken by an assistant and given to the legal councilor before our conversation so the lawyer was already up to speed when we talked for the first time. I really think their system is refined by their experience and it shows that it’s designed to best help those seeking advice. Sidney was so kind. Very great at explaining and educating me of my rights and what I can expect in various outcomes. So I may plan my next move with thought and strategy. I would definitely seek advice from Sidney again. She is very easy to talk to. Very knowledgeable of the laws and wonderful resources to offer for more information or questions. Thanks Sidney!

In my opinion, you could not find a more competent lawyer to help plan, develop, and produce estate management documents. I met with Justin individually, then he met with my family, my children, then he produced drafts for our review. The final product is a binder that contains all of the documents presented very professionally, accompanied by a flash drive that can be used to share the documents with my children.

had the pleasure of working with Daniel Kay for my domestic violence case and I must say, he was a breath of fresh air. From the moment I met him, he put me at ease and paid for me to ride an electric bike from his office to the courthouse, which was a thoughtful and practical gesture that helped to relieve some of the tension going into the court house. Daniel's professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding, and I was very impressed with his understanding of my case. He was quick to respond to any questions I had and kept me informed throughout the entire legal process. Overall, I can't recommend Daniel Kay enough. If you are in need of legal representation for a domestic violence case, look no further. Daniel is an exceptional attorney who truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to ensure that they feel supported and informed every step of the way.

Cory Tuck is a top-notch Family Attorney specializing in divorce and separation. His professionalism, work ethic, moral compass, and ability to seek out alternative, positive solutions to any obstacle is truly exceptional. Cory is on your side from day one. My case involved a 2 plus year mental marathon that wouldn't have been possible, and successful, without the guidance and support of Cory and his team. Cory's personal interest, steadfast loyalty, and discipline is above reproach. Divorce sucks, and having someone like Cory on your side during the process is invaluable - mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Cory and his team successfully and routinely handled all the big and small issues that surfaced from my case, often with little on no effort on my part. If you are going through troubling times, and divorce/separation is imminent, look no further than Cory Tuck. His resume includes thousand of cases, all varying in slightly different nuances, making his breath of knowledge focused, practical, and refined. You will not be disappointed in Cory Tuck.

I had two terrible divorce lawyers before finding Cory Tuck. After having a phone interview with him, I was convinced that he is the lawyer I was always hoping to have. I hired Cory! My life and my divorce situation improved instantly. Cory is very honest, hardworking and, most importantly, gets results! He is also very professional and confident: he stands up in front of the judge and states your arguments in a logical and assertive manner. He won both of my recent cases: Contempt of Court and Motion to Modify Spousal Maintenance. Cory focuses and knows what’s important to win your case. He takes charge of the situation and avoids getting intimidated by the other party. His office staff is friendly and communicates clearly, and quickly. Cory is also a trial lawyer - this is the type of lawyer you want presenting evidence to the judge and crossing your ex on the stand. I highly recommend Cory Tuck of Aviso Law!!!

I interviewed 15+ local attorneys and finally came across Lyndsay. Immediately, I knew she was it. It’s so daunting to put the fate of your future in the hands of one person but Lyndsay made me feel heard and validated my concerns right away. She was the only attorney to discuss what to expect during the process, which naturally included extended periods of time with little to no contact. The team at Ressler law are attentive and I was always able to reach someone to answer my question or concern. Lyndsay KNOWS the law and how to get her clients positive results. She was poised, passionate and powerful in the court room! Lyndsay knew every key detail to my case and was able to present those details to the judge flawlessly. In addition to her unparalleled knowledge and experience in family law she doesn’t waste her time or yours. Lyndsay is very direct and to the point but has listened to me bawl my eyes out and offered me both empathy and support in those trying moments. This was the longest, most stressful and hardest fight of my life and I can’t imagine trusting anyone else with such a pivotal moment.

It’s hard to find a genuine person in the world of Divorce/Family Attorneys. With the money and stress associated with family law, it’s important to hire someone interested in serving the needs of their clients rather racking up billable hours. Lyndsay Ressler truly is that attorney. After doing an initial consultation with Lyndsay in regards to a child support dispute, I felt very confident that Lyndsay was the right attorney for the job. The family court system is very subjective and tough to navigate. Lyndsay handled my case like the expert in the field that she is. In the end, you should pick an attorney that can get you results. Lyndsay presented the merits of my case, worked out a suitable settlement, and ultimately got the results I needed. And she did so, without charging an exorbitant rate. I was very please with my experience with Lyndsay and her team at Ressler Law and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a great attorney.

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.
