I found amanda kazzi and her team after hitting my breaking point with my horrible custody battled I started searching attorneys as I felt the court was not seeking the justice my child deserves and many lawyers during consultations asked me questions about my case just to say it’s not much that can be done defeated after so many try’s I came across Mrs.kazzi and my mother said just try it and I’m SO HAPPY I did from the consultation I KNEW she was the one instead of asking me the questions she listed things we can do she took her time reviewing my case before we ever spoke and that is when I knew she would fight for my baby’s justice she and her team are truly AMAZING! They genuinely care about EVERY client they make you feel comforted in hard times my custody case is indeed very stressful and upsetting I feel I call everyday in tears with the stressful situation but Mrs.kazzi and her team responds every time fast and they never make you feel like a bother they are truly a blessing she has made so much progress in such a small amount of time I’m confident she will get what my daughter deserves and after watching her in court she is indeed a pitbull and she is great at what she does I will continue to use her and refer her to anyone needing help! I will forever be greatfull for her and her team they don’t know how much they have helped to really bring light into my life if you want someone to fight for everything and more that you deserve call! I promise you will see the first 2 minutes in Mrs kazzi and her wonderful team are the best law firm in Florida!

From beginning to end, he and his staff has stayed on top of my case/cases, kept me updated, answered all my questions (and trust me there were many throughout the year)They always had time to speak and listen to you. You never Felt rushed off the phone. Every call was responded to, every email was replied to. He also got me the settlement I needed to continue my medical care.

I am incredibly impressed with the professionalism and efficiency of Danriah Welch . From the moment I walked into the office, I felt welcomed and well taken care of.

Danriah has a remarkable ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously while maintaining a calm and composed demeanor. Her communication skills are top-notch, always keeping me informed about the status of my case and promptly addressing any questions or concerns I had.
What truly sets Danriah apart is her dedication to client satisfaction. She went above and beyond to ensure that I felt supported throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail and commitment to excellence are evident in every aspect of her work.

Michael Kenny was referred to us by a family friend whom informed us that his defense saved her life. When she told me the story I knew I needed him to represent my brother in his case. Michael Kenny is very factual and efficient in his handling cases. He is very knowledgeable and very clear about next steps, he doesn’t make promises for an outcome. You will always you exactly what to expect for upcoming hearings ... If you feel like your case is impossible to win he’s your guy! Thank you again Michael Kenny!

My family and I needed a probate attorney. We needed to settle my mother’s estate after she passed away. I looked for a probate attorney and they never got back with me after leaving several messages and I had to keep calling. When I did received a call back they did not explain the process just told me what their fee was and I had to pay it upfront. Needless to say I seek help from someone else. I called Mr. Lorenzo on a Saturday afternoon and he answered and explained the process of what to be expected. He sounded very knowledgeable and also caring. I felt so relieved after speaking to him and I knew I had found the right attorney. Mr. Lorenzo was there for my family and I through a difficult time and case. Mr. Lorenzo showed us empathy and trust which are two important factors to me.Through out the process he kept us informed of every detailed of the case. I’m so glad we did not stay with the other attorney. We made the right choice. I would highly recommend Mr. Lorenzo to others who are looking for a caring and trustworthy attorney who is knowledgeable of the law. Thank you Mr. Lorenzo. My family and I are very grateful to you.

Attorney Scott has years of experience and is very knowledgeable in Florida Family Law. She will explain every step with great detail and will make sure you understand the process. A divorce proceeding, a modification of timesharing, or any other family legal proceeding puts you in great stress and makes you feel lost at the beginning, but attorney Scott lifts that weight off your shoulders and guides you in the best direction possible so you can get your life back on tack.

I was very impressed with Attorney Cheri Hobbs and her team at Compass Law. They are all very knowledgeable and responsive we got thing done so quickly although it was a very long and extensive process once we were able to gather all the necessary documents, we were able to move forward quickly. Mrs. Hobbs was also very good at guiding me through this entire process. I hope no one needs to use a divorce attorney as this is not a fun experience at all, but if you do need one you can trust her and her team. Thank you all for your amazing work I did not know we were going to get this done so quickly!

Finding Mr. Windle and his team during my divorce process, made a world of difference. Mr. Windle and his team came to me highly recommended.
Going through a divorce process with relocation to Germany is hard. But changing attorneys and hiring Mr. Windel and his team, was the best thing I could have done. Mr. Windel jumped into action and made more progress in a few days than I had seen with my previous attorney in months. He is an honest and caring attorney, who will strive to get you the best outcome possible. He is very involved in the process, knowledgeable and straight forward.
If you are looking for a highly recommended attorney or in doubt about your current attorney, the Windle Law Firm is definitely worth considering.

I was arrested for “reckless driving”. Julian was able to help enroll me into a program that allowed me to pay a small fee and do community service hours.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Parastoo Majd for prenuptial agreement services, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, Parastoo made me feel heard, understood, and advocated for. Prenuptial agreements can be a challenging and sensitive matter, but Parastoo’s expertise, empathy, and professionalism made the experience incredibly smooth and reassuring. Her ability to clearly explain every detail and ensure my concerns were addressed was invaluable.
If you’re looking for a skilled attorney who truly cares about her clients, Parastoo Majd is the one to go to.

I had a 10/10 experience with this law firm.
David Shobe:
I will forever be grateful for your representation. You were always kind, professional, and never wasted time; you always spoke with relevance in support of my case. The fact that you were affected in your personal life from a devastating hurricane, yet didn’t let this hinder you from providing me a spectacular representation at my hearing just a week after this catastrophic hurricane is incredible. David, you are a great man who deserves all the merit. Thank you for a great outcome, on behalf of myself and my son.
The firm: I am grateful for how easy to work with you all were from start to finish. Originally, I had my consultation with Jason. Despite Jason having a conflicting hearing date thus being unable to represent me, he still offered a helpful consultation and referred me to a phenomenal attorney, David Shobe from the same law group. Thank you.

It has been a few years since I was represented by Jeana Vogel in a custody dispute, I recently had the opportunity to refer her to a friend. That is when I realized that I had not provided a review of her performance. Her attention to detail and ability to set expectations was what impressed me. I have heard horror stories from people about not having a clue what was coming. I never had that feeling due to her clarity and ability to explain the process. She provided options while explaining the probability of their success. It is very easy to feel alone in any court proceeding especially in Family Court. I never once felt that I was alone or that I did not have the best advocate for my case. Thank you Jeana for everything!!

After many inquiries & dead end calls we were referred to Tammi.. we were told that she gets the job done right the first time so there are no loop holes in the future that could cause us any issues. We were so nervous and intimidated by the process but by the end of our first phone call with Tammi, she eased our worries & really talked us through step by step which in my case I needed as much info as possible to feel better and she freely gave it! She didn’t rush us off the phone or did it seem like she had anything else more important than our conversation and that felt amazing especially after the experiences we had leading up to us finding Tammi. Her and her team both were amazing & really helped us step by step and broke down things which made us feel like we could totally do this! I’m proud to say we are now proud parents of a son & plan to use her & her team again in the future! Tammi & her team helped us build a family and I will forever be grateful for that!

The good news is that after six years of going back and forth litigating in two different states and having four attorneys, my daughter is with me now. All of my gratitude goes to God, Traci, Kari, and their legal team. She is the only custodial attorney I will ever recommend to someone. As a mother having zero idea as to how my daughter’s well-being has been, Traci and her associate, Kari, have been able to demonstrate authentic humanity and empathy towards my situation, whilst maintaining a non-negotiable fierce demeanor and laser sharp focus in the courtroom. I strongly believe that Traci is an angel that is beyond equipped with her God-given litigatory weapons and determination. In your most devastating and crucial moments, she is there working so, so hard for you. She has brought humanity into the courtroom but is vicious in debate, which is what makes her the perfect attorney.

I worked with Traci on establishing paternity and requesting 100% physical custody of my 3 year old daughter. Her mother has been battling severe mental illness and is not capable of parenting at the moment. Traci was incredible to work with. Top notch communication, always responded quickly to any questions I had. Worked with Tara as well during the final hearing and Tara was well prepared and knew all of the facts like the back of her hand. I would 100% recommend Traci Koster and her team. I couldn't envision the process having gone any better. Don't mess around with something so important. Call Koster Legal and you won't be disappointed.

I am so glad I chose Traci and her team to represent me. Table stakes in a divorce is competency in the law. The difference maker for me is Traci's approach -- she is calm, she is fair, and she brings those qualities and approach to all parties in the process -- me, opposing counsel and by proxy, my ex. The impact of that to the journey was huge. Traci and her team calmly guided me through the most disruptive event in my life. Grateful.

Mary worked tirelessly to make sure I was taken care of in my divorce settlement. She alerted me of new developments in my case and what my next steps were. Mary was very professional, however, she was also very realistic about what I needed to do to move forward. I sincerely thank Mary and her staff for helping me get through one of the most difficult times in my life.

I believe that I went through the worst divorce on earth, and I thank god that I met Ms McDaniel. She is tough; she fights for what's right and fair. Sadly, I was married to a narcissist and a monster, who manipulated me throughout our marriage, while I struggled with Stage 4 cancer. Ms McDaniel worked hard to find a way to ensure my divorce was as easy as possible, in order to ensure it will not interrupt any of my Doctor Appointments and Chemotherapy sessions. The team at MGM Law are very respectful, kind, and hard working. My Ex husband tries to hide some funds, lied under oath and showed no respect to everyone, including his own lawyer. Ms McDaniel and her team was able to help me get a fair trail.

Divorce is a very hard process to go through, and even though it is not over yet, I already know that I could not pick a better lawyer. The first minute I walked in the office, terrified and not knowing what to do, Mary listened me and knew right away what is the best for me and especially for my boys. Mary is very knowledgeable, she works very hard and she fights even harder. I highly recommend MGM Law to everybody who seeks a great family law attorney!!
ONE YEAR LATER: Today I had my final hearing. It was a very long and stressful day but again, Mary is The Shark!!! If they came at me strong and tried to put me down, Mary went back at them even stronger. I am so incredibly happy that Mary went with me through this difficult time because not only it is over but the most important thing is, she has managed to achieve a request, she has never experienced before to be ordered, and thanks to that my boys will be safe!
Mary is the type of the attorney who will always be here for you, will fight for you very hard and not once you will feel like you are just some client. We have developed very close relationship and I could not ask for better attorney to help me with my very difficult case!

Now that my case has been finalized, I would like to take this opportunity to publicly express my sincere admiration and gratitude to Anisley Tarragona and Jason Berkowitz for their outstanding professionalism and superb legal expertise applied in my case and for helping me succeed in such endeavor.
Consistently throughout the entire seven to eight months period that it took to get my employment complaint resolved both attorneys clearly demonstrated that they are one of a kind in the field of employment law in terms of knowledge, analytical skills, communication, and in devising the proper strategy to negotiate or litigate the case at hand, if necessary.
As I experienced it, because of their genuine interest into fully understanding their clients' needs and concerns, you can also expect to receive the "personal touch" from both attorneys, as the case may be or requires. As a client, you will have the opportunity to remain actively involved and engaged as the negotiation or litigation process evolves over time. Actually, you will be encouraged to do so as deemed necessary. As the case develops, you can also expect to receive regular updates with unfiltered and clear-cut explanations of all the legal terms, elements of the case, and applicability of the law directly from both attorneys, so you will never be left wondering what is happening.
I could not complete my review of the BT Law Group without complimenting its legal and administrative office staff. The experience dealing with each of them could not have been more satisfying. Besides being professional, knowledgeable, competent, and timely with their responses and follow up requests, both Ashley and Sophia were extremely pleasant to deal with every time without exception.
So, to sum it up, with the BT Law Group you get the legal expertise, representation, advice and the resulting feel-good experience all in one package. I highly recommend them without hesitation. So, please do not hesitate to reach out to them if you should need employment law assistance. Thank you.

What an Adoption Lawyer Can Do for You
An adoption lawyer specializes in navigating the legal complexities of the adoption process, ensuring that the rights of all parties involved - the adoptive parents, birth parents, and the child - are protected. They assist families through the different types of adoption, such as domestic, international, foster care, stepparent, and private adoptions. Adoption lawyers ensure that the adoption process complies with state, federal, and international laws, and handle any legal issues that may arise during the process, such as terminating parental rights, conducting home studies, and finalizing the adoption.
If you're looking to adopt or if you're a birth parent considering placing your child for adoption, an adoption lawyer can guide you through the legal requirements and ensure the process goes smoothly.
When Should I Hire an Adoption Lawyer?
You should consider hiring an adoption lawyer in the following situations:
- Private or independent adoption: If you’re adopting a child directly from the birth parents without the involvement of an adoption agency, a lawyer is essential to draft and review all legal documents, including consent forms and parental rights termination agreements.
- Foster care adoption: If you’re adopting a child from foster care, a lawyer can help navigate the legal process, ensure the child’s eligibility for adoption, and represent you in court to finalize the adoption.
- Stepparent or relative adoption: If you’re adopting a stepchild or a relative, a lawyer can assist in terminating the parental rights of the biological parent and ensure the adoption is completed legally and efficiently.
- International adoption: International adoptions are complex, involving multiple layers of laws from the U.S. and the child’s birth country. A lawyer can help navigate immigration requirements and ensure compliance with international treaties like the Hague Convention.
- Contested adoptions: If a birth parent changes their mind about the adoption or there is a dispute over parental rights, a lawyer can represent you in court and ensure that the adoption proceeds legally.
- Adoption for same-sex couples: If you're a same-sex couple looking to adopt, a lawyer can help ensure that your adoption complies with state laws and that both parents have equal legal rights to the child.
- Birth parent representation: If you’re a birth parent considering adoption, a lawyer can ensure that your rights are protected, help you understand the legal implications of terminating parental rights, and ensure that your decision is legally sound.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help avoid legal complications and ensure that the adoption is legally finalized as smoothly as possible.
What Does an Adoption Lawyer Do?
An adoption lawyer provides a variety of legal services, ensuring that the adoption process is completed in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Their responsibilities often include:
- Filing legal paperwork: Adoption lawyers handle all the necessary paperwork, including petitions to terminate parental rights, consent forms, and final adoption decrees. They ensure that the adoption is in line with state, federal, and international laws.
- Conducting home studies: Some adoptions require a home study to evaluate the prospective adoptive family. While a social worker usually conducts the study, a lawyer can ensure that the process complies with legal requirements and that the report is submitted correctly.
- Terminating parental rights: Lawyers assist in terminating the legal rights of the biological parents, either voluntarily through signed consent or involuntarily through court proceedings if necessary.
- Representing clients in court: Adoption lawyers represent adoptive parents, birth parents, or other parties in court hearings to finalize the adoption or resolve disputes.
- Navigating international adoption laws: For international adoptions, a lawyer helps ensure that all legal requirements, both in the U.S. and the child’s home country, are met, including securing the child’s visa and citizenship.
- Providing legal advice: Adoption lawyers guide clients through each step of the adoption process, advising them on their rights and obligations, as well as any potential legal issues that may arise.
- Drafting post-adoption agreements: In some cases, especially open adoptions, a lawyer can help draft post-adoption agreements that specify the level of contact between the adoptive and birth parents.
How Are Adoption Lawyers Paid?
Adoption lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the adoption and the time involved. Common payment structures include:
- Flat fee: Many adoption lawyers charge a flat fee for handling the entire adoption process. This is common for straightforward adoptions, such as stepparent or foster care adoptions, where the legal work is relatively predictable.
- Hourly rate: For more complex adoptions, such as contested or international adoptions, some lawyers charge by the hour, with rates typically ranging from $200 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Retainer: In cases where the adoption process may take longer or involve more legal work (e.g., termination of parental rights or court disputes), a lawyer may require a retainer, which is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on the case.
It’s important to discuss fees with your lawyer upfront, so you understand the total cost of the adoption and any additional expenses that may arise during the process.
How Much Does an Adoption Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring an adoption lawyer depends on the type of adoption and the complexity of the case. General cost estimates include:
- Stepparent or relative adoption: Legal fees for these types of adoptions typically range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on whether the adoption is contested or requires a court hearing.
- Domestic private adoption: The legal fees for a private adoption usually range from $5,000 to $10,000, including drafting documents, terminating parental rights, and finalizing the adoption in court.
- International adoption: International adoptions are generally more expensive, with legal fees ranging from $7,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the adoption and the child’s country of origin.
- Contested adoption: If the adoption is contested and involves court disputes, legal fees may range from $10,000 to $20,000 or more, depending on the length and complexity of the court proceedings.
In addition to lawyer fees, adoptive parents should also be aware of additional costs such as court filing fees, home study fees, and travel expenses (for international adoptions).
Top Questions to Ask an Adoption Lawyer
Before hiring an adoption lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the experience and knowledge to handle your case effectively. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with adoptions?
Ensure the lawyer has experience with the specific type of adoption you’re pursuing, whether it’s domestic, international, foster care, or stepparent adoption. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a flat fee or hourly rate and ask for a detailed breakdown of the costs involved in your adoption. -
What are the legal requirements for my adoption?
Ask the lawyer to explain the legal steps involved in your adoption and any specific requirements that may apply to your case, such as home studies or parental consent. -
How long will the adoption process take?
Adoption timelines can vary depending on the type of adoption, so ask the lawyer for an estimate of how long the process will take, including any potential delays. -
What are the common challenges in adoption cases?
Ask about any potential legal challenges that could arise during the adoption process and how the lawyer plans to address them. -
Will I need to go to court?
Depending on the adoption, you may need to attend court hearings. Ask the lawyer whether your presence will be required and what to expect during these hearings. -
Can you help with post-adoption issues?
Ask the lawyer if they can assist with any post-adoption issues, such as obtaining the child’s birth certificate, finalizing the child’s U.S. citizenship (for international adoptions), or drafting post-adoption contact agreements.
How to Check the Credibility of an Adoption Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable adoption lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no disciplinary actions on their record.
- Look for adoption experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in adoption law and have experience handling cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the lawyer.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on adoption cases.
- Check for memberships in relevant organizations: Look for lawyers who are members of adoption-focused organizations like the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys (AAAA), which can indicate their expertise in this field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with an adoption lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Information about the child and birth parents: Provide any available information about the child you’re adopting (e.g., age, country of origin, current living situation) and the birth parents, if applicable.
- Adoption preferences: Be clear about the type of adoption you’re pursuing - whether it’s domestic, international, foster care, stepparent, or private - and discuss any preferences you have regarding the child’s age, background, or special needs.
- Legal documents (if applicable): If you’ve already begun the adoption process or have signed any agreements, bring copies of all relevant legal documents, such as consent forms or agency agreements.
- Questions about the adoption process: Prepare a list of questions about the legal steps involved in your adoption, potential timelines, and any concerns you may have about the process.
- Financial considerations: Be ready to discuss your budget for legal fees and any additional costs, such as home studies, court fees, and travel expenses (for international adoptions).
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice for your adoption journey.
