Kelli Anne Viloria was our daughter's attorney in a very difficult divorce and financial settlement. She always knew the law, was immediately responsive in emergencies, was extremely knowledgeable about our case, and she was described by our judge as "the best divorce attorney in Reno." From our experience with her, we could believe that. Her diligence, perseverance and experience won the day for us.

If you have been accused of something please do yourself a favor and at least have a consultation with Tom. It is overwhelming to go through this experience, particularly when you have never been accused of something in the past. From the first second I sat down with Tom, it was obvious that he truly cared about me, and I felt that I had an ally in my fight. For the rest of my life, I will never forget Tom and the compassion he showed me. He inspires me and restores my faith in humanity. I have never experienced such kindness and generosity from a stranger before in my entire life. I only wish I could repay him in some way. This review is the least that I could do. Tom if you read this, you are a good man and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I couldn’t be happier with our team at Sgro and Roger. They handled our personal injury case with such professionalism and were extremely empathetic and sensitive throughout. I knew our entire team had our best interest at heart and they were 100% in our corner. More specifically, Racheal Ross. She is an absolute boss. She is super knowledgeable, timely, and communicative. She handled everything with such confidence. I honestly can’t thank her enough for the work she put in for us, even on weekends, holidays, and late at night. She really went the extra mile. Thank you to Tony, Racheal, and the rest of the staff at Sgro and Roger! 10/10 would recommend this office to anyone looking for the best and most honest lawyers out there.

There were 16 five-star reviews when I last checked, and I am number 17 to also give her a 5-star review. That tells you something. Tehan knows the law and is efficient in representing her client(s). She displays all those great qualities described in the other reviews and more. I know she was totally committed to me and my case in the way that she communicated regularly and personally with me. Still, she is a no-nonsense lawyer who will give you homework and communicate with the court to let you know the status of your case. She explains court postings from eflex. My Ex threatened to bankrupt me. Tehan used the law to protect me. It wasn't painless, but what was done, she did in a way to provide the best outcome for me and my financial stability. She advocated fiercely on my behalf. This may sound corny, but Tehan is a hero of mine. I am very grateful to have had Tehan Slocum as my counsel. You will be glad also! I highly recommend that you give her a call. Thank you, Becky Jordan

Not professional at all. She asked for non-refundable fees for a matter that has been canceled before she even started to work on the contract draft she was supposed to review, but never accepted to refund us. Also, she replied to our email weeks after, when she was even replying. I thought lawyer were trustable, but they can also be true scammers.

At times, this kind of planning can be a bit nerve wracking, and he has a great sense of when well-placed humor is needed!!! He will meet with you in person when/where it's convenient for your busy schedule. We feel blessed to have Robert Morris and GMD in our corner.

The Kainen Law Group are the top family law specialists in Las Vegas. I contacted three separate lawyers I have worked with asking for their recommendation on the best divorce attorney in Las Vegas, and all three recommended The Kainen Law Group. They are not only excellent at what they do, but they also always act with your best interests in mind. If they do not believe that they can provide value given your specific circumstances then they will tell you that rather than wasting your money. Their responsiveness and communication are top notch! Their reputation is top notch! Their ability to represent you and resolve your family dispute is top notch! As mentioned in a few other reviews, they are definitely not a discount law firm, but you get what you pay for and they will not disappoint. There is a certain comfort that comes with knowing that the opposing council knows exactly who your lawyer is, and what they are capable of. It sets the tone for all future interactions, and in my experience made opposing council much more reasonable. Divorce and the impact it has on a family is never an easy process, so do yourself a favor and retain the best family law firm in Las Vegas, The Kainen Law Group! Thank you all for everything!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot recommend Ashlee Vasquez, Avea and Kim highly enough! From the very first meeting, Ashlee truly listened to my goals and took them seriously. I went into this process hoping for an outcome that was as amicable as possible, and Ashlee made it clear that she respected and supported thatapproach. She worked hard to educate me on my legal rights, making sure I fully understood all of my options without ever pushing me to engage in unnecessary conflict or take a more aggressive route than I was comfortable with. Ashlee and Avea were both incredibly accommodating and thoughtful throughout the entire process. They took the time to consider every variable that could affect my case, whether it was my personal priorities, the unique dynamics of my situation, or the practical implications of different legal strategies. Their attention to detail was unmatched, and it was clear they genuinely cared about helping me find a solution that worked for me and my family. What really stood out to me was how much time Ashlee spent listening to me. She made me feel heard and valued, which is something that can be so rare in these situations. She didn’t just offer a one-size-fits-all solution—she collaborated with me to create a plan that I felt confident and comfortable with, all while keeping my long-term goals and values in mind. Her approach was always calm, professional, and compassionate, which helped me stay grounded during what could have been a very stressful process. Avea was equally incredible. She was organized, responsive, and always made me feel like my case was a priority. Together, Ashlee and Avea were an amazing team who gave me not just legal support but also peace of mind. They went above and beyond to make sure I was informed, prepared, and confident at every step of the way. If you’re looking for a legal team that combines expertise, empathy, and a commitment to helping you achieve YOUR goals—not theirs—look no further. Ashlee and Avea are everything you could want in an attorney and law clerk. Thank you both so much for your exceptional work and dedication. You truly made an incredibly challenging time in my life so much easier to navigate.

Attorney Ashlee Vasquez provided me with exceptional legal support, leaving me feeling secure about the future for myself and my daughter. Her expertise in family law was evident as she listened attentively to my concerns and fears, leaving no stone unturned. Ashlee's genuine care and compassion set her apart from other attorneys I spoke too and brought me reassurance during a challenging time. With her guidance, I now have renewed hope for the future.

Marshall Willick represented me in my child custody case. And he did an incredible job I seriously could not ask for a better lawyer. I had a huge hiccup with my previous one, and let's just say they really dropped the ball. I was actually refereed to Willicks office from my aunt that lives in Chicago from her lawyer. I had a consultation with them and I already felt 100xs better just by explaining my situation. If you want a lawyer that will definitely have your back and is willingbto bat for you Willick is the way! I could not be more pleased on how the outcome came out! Thank you again to all Willick and employees.

Marshal Willick, wow…just so amazing! I don’t know 5 stars can cut it on my feelings for how well I feel Marshal handled my case. He exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend Marshal and all the legal staff at the Willick Law Group. I hired them to assist me in a complicated family matter and they were simply amazing in their handling of my case. The paralegals are so knowledgeable too and the team approach they utilized was paramount in the success of my case. I wish, I had hired them to handle my legal case initially, as I feel so doing, I would have likely saved money. They will use their expertise to help the courts see the truth from the get-go, which is so important-so your ex can not use the courts to create legal issues that cost you dearly financially years after the fact. The latter is so important when leaving a toxic situation, in hopes of the start of a new life. Further, I found the Willick Firm to be very compassionate. I felt they cared about my case and they were very mindful of their billing, without compromising quality. I only began to sleep well, once they took over and I knew my case was in the hands of some of the best legal minds in the country. I highly recommend Marshal and the Willick Firm.

I am an immigration attorney in Sacramento, California and needed a legal opinion letter from an attorney in Nevada specializing in family law. The issues were very complex and Marshal provided excellent service and work product. We had a short deadline, and Marshal worked on the weekend to get the opinion letter completed. He even went above and beyond and completed additional research outside the scope of services in order to help my client. I was very impressed working with Marshal and his staff and highly recommend their office.

I found Alyssa here through Avvo. I sent multiple personal and detailed messages regarding my horrific family law matter. Alyssa sent me a message very quickly and answered all of my concerns in an honest and caring fashion. I retained Alyssa after working with two previous attorneys and with the need of her representation for my court date which was only four weeks away. Alyssa accomplished more in four weeks to help me than my other two attorneys did in two years! Alyssa is very honest and tells you the good, the bad and the ugly which I love and appreciate. She goes above and beyond to answer the tremendous amount of emails I send her. We ended up getting everything I wanted during our hearing. She literally blew me away while I’m court and when it comes to a horrific custody battle, she truly put my children’s needs and my desires front and center and fought for my family in the most impressive and short amount of time. I’m LAS Vegas, there isn’t another family law attorney that can hold a candle to Alyssa. If you are in a position where you ever need a family law attorney, contact Alyssa today! You will truly have your family in the hands of an angel! Thank you for everything, Alyssa. Words will never be able to express my gratitude to you in words!

After realizing how difficult child custody trials are, I was referred to Lorien for help with my case. Lorien was amazing from the start, she met with me and gave me insights on where my case stood at the time and what I could do to help win. Throughout the 8 months Lorien worked on my case, I was consistently given updates from her and her team and was always made to feel heard and validated. She took the time to make sure myself and witnesses were fully prepared for the trial date. On the day of the trial Lorien helped me stay calm and reassured during my testimony. Lorien was stern and clever when speaking on my behalf. After the trial was over, she talked to me and let me know of what to expect next. I cannot thank Lorien enough for helping my gain primary custody of my children. I will forever be grateful for all of her help and hard work in making sure my children are happy and safe.

My high-conflict Ex had Filed for Divorce just as the Pandemic started and we went on Lock-down. I had questions because I didn't know if I even needed a lawyer. Lorien answered all of my questions for me, and offered me direction, before she even agreed to represent me. She represented and stood by me during my almost three years long, High Conflict Divorce & Custody battle that included numerous false allegations, false accusations, multiple false CPS cases, Extreme Parental Alienation, and multiple Smear Campaigns by my ex. Lorien always knew what to do each time something new was hurled at me, and she helped me prove everything to be false, so that my children were returned to me, while helping navigate me through the most difficult, heart wrenching, and stressful time of my life; as well as restoring my character and reputation, in court. We had 7 full days of trial, as well as many, many Hearings. She had many witnesses and expert witnesses testify, always on pointe when questioning witnesses, and never backing down to opposing counsel and all their shenanigans. As a mother herself, she always has the best interest of the children at heart, and she really cares about her clients - you never feel like you're just a case. She stuck it out with me to the end, and continues to represent me, as things pop up with my ex. I am so grateful to have found her, and that she took my case knowing it would be a difficult one. I cannot say enough positive things about Lorien - she is the BEST! When things are High Conflict, you want Lorien fighting for you! THANK YOU!!!

Travis Clark was phenomenal in putting together my divorce package after I was served. He listened to what I would like to see happen. We developed a game plan that he perfectly executed. Worked with the opposing attorney to resolve conflicts and provide clarification on matters of concern. Travis's advise was invaluable. In the hour before seeing the judge a big last minute detail had to be worked out. It was expertly handled to my benefit. In the court proceedings Travis worked with the court to ensure I received terms beneficial to myself and my future. Very, very satisfied with the outcome of the divorce proceedings, far better than anything I had expected. Well done Travis, I am in your debt. Thank you.

Kim Surratt is not only a great lawyer, she's a good person. She walked me through the hell that was my divorce, counseled me through the difficult decisions about the children, custody, child support, etc. and helped keep from going crazy when everything in my life was upside down. Divorces suck. There's no way around that. Having someone on my side that was empathetic to what I was going through, but was able to maintain a business mind about the whole thing was crucial to me making good decisions and not fighting just to fight because I was pissed. I've been back several times because of custody issues, and she's helped me navigate the ridiculousness of a crazy ex who happens to be the mother of my kids. I honestly don't think anyone could have done a better job.

Kim Surratt is a very special person to me. From the moment Kim took on my son's case, she worked so hard to achieve the right outcome. I believe that Kim saved my son's life, and strengthened our entire family. Our custody case was very difficult and lasted eight years. Kim was by my side, always giving me good advice, helping me have the strength to continue the battle, and saw our case to a proper final conclusion. I will always be grateful that I had Kim as my attorney.

For over a year, Ben worked tirelessly and meticulously and in a horrible family court case, and in the end, justice prevailed. Hiring Ben was the most important part to my case and I strongly believe that not many lawyers would have given this case such attention to detail. And he's compassionate, too... I highly recommend Mr. Albers to anyone looking for an amazing lawyer and myself and my family are so glad to have had him in our corner.

My case was not an easy. It was a domestic violence issue and extremely touchy subject matter. Ben did exceptional work in my favor. He was professional and caring. He not only acted as my attorney but he kept me positive and focused throughout the ugliness of the proceedings that I had to deal with. Ben showed great passion and knowledge for my situation and offered advice when I was truly overwhelmed for decisions. He is fair and will always have his clients best interest at heart.

When I went through a very difficult time where I almost lost my life due to domestic violence and faced the possibility of losing my child to my abuser, Attorney Benjamin Albers came to the rescue. He took on my very complicated case and brought it to the finish line triumphantly. He was professional, compassionate, friendly and courteous. He returned my phone calls promptly and gave my case his undivided attention. It is clear that he cares about his clients and their well being. He was well prepared for the court hearings. He is an amazing attorney and I'm beyond pleased with all the effort he has applied to my case.

Corinne Price with Fine, Carman, and Price Law Group is extremely knowledgeable regarding family law. During the consultation she walked me through the whole divorce process and suggested next steps. Her determination to get her clients the best deal is very evident in and out of the courtroom. She was able to quickly draw up and get me the parenting plan and child support I wanted. When my case ended up going to trial, Corinne came prepared with all the documents she needed. Because of this, the judge denied my ex-husband's request for spousal support. Her actions in and out of the courtroom exceeded my expectations. Corinne Price does not back down! Instead she backs up her statements with evidence, facts, and the law. If you want an attorney who is prepared, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable I would highly recommend Corinne Price.

He kept us informed throughout the entire process, ensuring that we always understood our options and what to expect.

John has been my lawyer for at least a year now assisting with my stressful divorce. He is an honest lawyer who won't act on a request simply because you ask; if he believes it’s not the right or fair course of action, he will not proceed. He fights for what’s best and just for his clients, especially when children are involved. Although I wasn't 100% satisfied with the outcome of my divorce and custody battle. As he mentioned in every litigation, you can’t get everything you want. I trust that John’s expertise and understanding of the judge led to a fair result. He doesn't just do what you want to charge you more or unnecessary; he adheres to the law and ensures that actions are fair. I recently hired John again for a motion that my ex and I couldn’t agree on. I chose him because I know he will act in the best interest of me and my children. John is not the type of lawyer who will simply charge you for actions without sufficient evidence or necessity. Unlike some lawyers who will do anything for a fee, John maintains a high standard of integrity and only pursues actions that are supported by adequate evidence and proof. If you need a lawyer for custody or divorce matters, I highly recommend John Keuscher for his exceptional service.

I’m so glad I hired Michael to handle my family court issues. I’ve worked with other attorneys in the past, but they were easily swayed, disorganized and often lacked the tenacity I needed. Michael was different and straightforward, very confident, well organized and never intimidated by the opposing party. Communication was extremely easy. His assistant Tricia was extremely insightful and organized as well. He turned what seemed like a complicated and stressful situation into a smooth and manageable process. I couldn’t be happier with his dedication and the outcome of my case.

When I was injured in a car accident, I was lost and unsure of what to do. The only thing I knew, was I was injured and I needed someone the insurance company would take seriously when handling my case. Marathon Law Group was a beacon of hope. Joe guided me through the entire process, from the initial consultation to the final settlement. This is a law firm you actually speak to when you call - you speak to your attorney, not just staff. Attorneys care, attorneys answer, and attorneys know what they're doing to not only help you heal but get compensation. Their team was incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate. MLG explained everything clearly and answered all my questions patiently. They handled all the paperwork and negotiations with the insurance company, saving me a lot of stress and time. Thanks to their hard work, I was able to focus on my recovery without worrying about legal matters. I highly recommend Marathon Law Group but specifically Mr. Joe Riccio to anyone who needs a dedicated and experienced personal injury attorney.

After an injury at work, I mistakenly thought the doctors that workmen’s comp sent me to would help me recover. Instead, I found that their loyalty was to the insurance company paying the tab.R. Trent McAuliffe helped me get the medical treatment I needed when workmen’s comp kept trying to close my case. It took a few years to go through the process, and I am grateful that I got the surgery I needed. I’m very satisfied with the results of Trent advocating for me.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
