Samantha is thorough and will fight for you. She explained things to me through out my case so that I could understand the process and next steps. Samantha left no stone unturned in court and even followed up with me after the case was finished. I have already recommended her to friends and I will keep doing so. She is fair, honest and tough. Highly recommend Samantha!

I hired Samantha Rush after having an unpleasant experience with my first divorce attorney. At the time I was left with more questions than answers, but Samantha quickly put my mind at ease. She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and makes you feel like you have a friend that's fighting in your corner. Her years of experience not only helped my case, but saved me money as well, she didn't have to 'ask the judge', or 'look into it', she just knew the answer. I am continuing to use her services with my ongoing custody battle, and I've recommended her to several friends.

Mark and Allyson make such a great team and are very knowledgeable! Mr. Gober is straightforward with how the process works and what all is needed. They are very welcoming and listen to your needs and concerns. After speaking with Mark my mind was definitely at ease. Allyson is always so sweet and always taking the time to answer calls and questions. She truly cares for their clients needs and is always there to help in anyway she can. I can’t forget Piper, the office cat either. She is a member of the team and family as well and is always there to greet everyone as they come in. I’m so glad I chose Mark Sterling Gober and his team to represent me. I highly recommend them to anyone!! Give them a call!

Mark has left a lasting impression on me with his exceptional qualities as a lawyer. His expertise in the field is unparalleled, and his deep understanding of the legal system proved invaluable in my sudden custody case. He navigated the complexities with remarkable skill and insight. Mark's familiarity with judges and other lawyers in the area further enhanced his ability to advocate effectively on my behalf. Not only is he highly knowledgeable, but he is also incredibly approachable and easy to work with, even in high-stress situations. Additionally, his team is exceptionally supportive and ensures that you're well cared for, even when Mark is unavailable. This is the best legal representation money can buy.

I chose Ms. O Mailia, with others from the internet, reached out to all and she was the one who followed up in a timely manner. Throughout the whole process she responded quickly using the online portal and, having this portal, I was kept in the loop every step of the way even I am from out of state. Kate is knowledgeable and presented her ideas and requests in a very supportive way. She is diligent, analytical and very resourceful. She was extremely well prepared and had me well prepared, all the while communicating with me empathetically. She cares about her clients. She has a reasonable fee with an extremely transparent billing system. She assured me, yet did not tell me we would win. Throughout it all she remained confident and calm and we won!

As a single mom I have had days my spirit was down, but will never forget the day she showed up at my work to check up on me and my kids. I don't know if she knows, but that day was the day she gave me back the hope and strength to keep fighting. Not only is she an awesome attorney but she has an amazing heart!! Thank you Charlotte Christian for fighting for me and my kids I could not have gotten through this without you!!!

My child's mother had made some heinous false allegations against me and several attorneys I met before Jennifer told me my case was unwinnable. Jennifer not only told me it was a possibility to win she did it with such ease that I'm still scratching my head as to how she managed to pull it off. Anybody fighting for custody shouldn't walk, they should run to hire this lady! I'm beyond happy with how it turned out for me. Highly recommend!

In rereading the posts on here. I personally had many similarities to the challenges people spoke to on these reviews. I never met the attorney in person. Like others have mentioned they take your money and you have to chase them down then they leave you. In my opinion my experience with this firm is the epitome of the negative stigma on the Industry.

That was so rude disrespectful, racist, and unprofessional I have enough to pay my retainer fee in full I wasn’t asking for a favor .

Shaun Capps was the attorney for our car accident case and if I could give him 6 stars I would. The amount of work that he and his team put into our case was astronomical and we cannot be more happy. Everything settled very nicely, he navigated deductions with all the medical providers, was honest and up front, and we were able to come out on the other side better than ever. 10/10 would recommend him and his team every time.

I consulted with Kristine Jones over several months about legal issues dealing with family matters and domestic relations in Alabama. Kristine is the owner and founding member of The KJ Law Firm in Montgomery. She helped me develop marketing and educational material for a wide range of family legal matters ranging from divorce mediation and division of marital assets to the custody of children and payment of alimony/child support. Kristine's knowledge of Alabama law and expertise as a family law attorney is apparent the moment you meet. Her previous training and years of experience prepared her well for the practice of law. She provided legal research for institutions like the Alabama Secretary of State Elections Division and Alabama Law Institute, served as a law clerk for One Place Family Justice Center, and taught undergraduate students at Auburn University. Kristine is patient and resourceful, organized, attentive to details, service-oriented, and passionate about helping people. This is further evidenced by her participation in the "Ask a Lawyer" forum, a free service provided by Avvo. As someone who thought the only difference between a briefcase and a case brief is the former is used to tote the latter, I found it rewarding and stimulating to collaborate with an attorney like Kristine. She defined legal terms and phrases like "equitable distribution of property" and "of counsel," explained the role of a Guardian Ad Litem, or "GAL" for short, clarified the difference between arbitration and mediation, and schooled me on best practices regarding the use of an "LLC" designation in the name of a company. Kristine also cleared up my confusion over the jurisdiction of Federal courts (Alabama is divided into three judicial districts known as the Northern, Middle, and Southern. Who knew?) and procedural issues related to the Montgomery County Small Claims Court. If asked about her sources, Kristine cited specific documents and clauses I could find online that furthered my understanding. Examples include formal opinions, case law, and court rules established by, or located in, the Alabama State Bar Association, Alabama Center for Dispute Resolution, Code of Alabama, and other legal resources. I highly recommend Kristine Jones. If you reside in Montgomery, the River Region, or other communities in Alabama and value quality client service, you'll appreciate the trustworthy, reliable attorneys at The KJ Law Firm, LLC.

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.

Laura took an incredibly complicated situation and worked very hard and very quickly to fix it. She was absolutely a shark when the shenanigans started. When the case was transferred, she offered to continue to represent me, BUT wanted me to be informed. She insisted that I consult with another attorney in the area it was transferred (she went to school with her) and let her know what I decided. She was conscious of the fact that it would cost me more money for her to represent me with time and travel as well as the attorney in the other area being more familiar with the county it was transferred to. We all know that matters. It was more important to her that I have the proper representation than to simply take my money. She also followed my case, and messaged me periodically to check in with me. I've known her a long time outside of hiring her, but she really is an amazing attorney. Responsive, smart, caring, willing to stand up for you when you need her most. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

Shane and his paralegals are amazing. I was living out of state when my money hungry ex decided to start a case against me. I wasn't able to appear in court, but shane and his crew, special shout out to Blake Vrieze...whom represented me in court that day, managed to save me 25 thousand dollars and get the case against me dismissed. You read that correctly. Case dismissed and I wasn't even there. Blake is a God among men and he represents the Shane A. Taylor law firm. Need I say anymore. Will shout their names from rooftops until I lose my voice. Amazing job!

Absolutely great team of lawyers and paralegals. Helped me get my DUI dismissed because of their due diligence from day one. Absolutely would recommend this firm to anyone going through a similar situation but they also specialize in other areas. Never even had my license suspended and the courts dragged the case on for nearly a year. 10/10 would use this firm again in a heartbeat if I needed to.

I would highly recommend Sasser and O'Rear! Will O'Rear and Janelle worked very hard on helping my mom to get appointed as my aunt's representative to her estate. We are out of state and were unable to do a lot of the paper and they assisted and worked endlessly to help my mom out. This turned out to be a very long process, the state of Alabama didn't make it easy but they never gave up. My mom and I are very appreciative for all their hard work.

Can I give more than 5 stars? Because I would! I have never met a more “work for you” lawyer in my life. I can't say enough good things about Whitney Eiland. From the moment I met her, I knew I was in good hands. Whitney took the time to really understand my situations and explained everything to me to put my mind and heart at ease. Throughout my cases, yep plural, she has always been just a call or email away, keeping me updated and answering any questions. What really stands out to me is how much she genuinely cares. She treated me with nothing but kindness and respect! If you need a lawyer who’s not only super smart but also truly compassionate and will work for you, Whitney is the one to go to. I'm so grateful for everything she has done and will do for me, because I will continue to use her for anything I might need!

AshLeigh Meyer Dunham was the best attorney I could’ve possibly had for the situation I was going through, one that I had never experienced and had no idea what to expect or what to do. It was all God that AshLeigh ended up being court appointed to me. She was in contact with me and kept me updated, answered any questions I had honestly and in a way I would understand and absolutely fought for me and my child in every way that she could! She is a rockstar and when she believes in a case there is no stopping her! Will forever love her for her amazing efforts which led to the best possible outcome come for my little family! If you have any type of legal problems that she handles I would recommend her over any other attorney in Birmingham!!

Without going into too much detail about my case, I was in a jam and for reasons beyond our control Ruth and I met for the first time just 5 minutes before the trial date of a custody hearing. This was a 5 year old case that had gone completely off the rails due in large part to an error in judgement I had made years earlier and then further exacerbated by an over zealous guardian ad liatem that I had asked to be appointed on my daughter's behalf. The GAL had completely convinced herself that she was right in figuring out that I had done something wrong even when all the evidence before her pointed to the contrary. With 5 minutes to prep Ruth on the most significant points of the case, we developed a strategy that took the legs right out from under the narrative being pushed forth by the GAL and the judge was wise enough to see through the clutter. My version of events made sense to what was known and did not require the leaps, jumps, and assumptions that were needed for the other. The truth can be stubborn like that sometimes. The odds were stacked against me but within minutes of having just met, Ruth understood the complexity of this case, comprehended the flaws in the GAL's logic and orchestrated a momentum shift that ended in a complete reversal of the tides. We won the case. Mind...Blown... Very impressed. The good guys won today. Thanks Ruth Mockingbird

I contacted Ruth Robinson on a Saturday regarding a warrant that was issued for failure to appear. On Monday, she filed a notice of appearance as my attorney and filed a motion to have the warrant recalled. The court told her they’d recall the warrant and set a new court date. Ruth was very professional, diligent, and went above and beyond for me. She listened to everything I told her, requested me to send her several screenshots and filed the necessary paperwork to get the warrant recalled and a new court date. Amazing and highly recommended if you want or need someone who is passionate about practicing law and treating you like you’re a priority.

What a Child Custody Lawyer Can Do for You

A child custody lawyer specializes in helping parents navigate legal matters related to the custody and care of their children, particularly in the context of divorce, separation, or other family disputes. These lawyers assist with determining custody arrangements, drafting parenting plans, and advocating for your rights in court. They also help resolve disputes over physical custody (where the child lives), legal custody (who makes decisions for the child), visitation rights, and modifications to existing custody orders.

Whether you're going through a divorce or need to change an existing custody arrangement, a child custody lawyer can help you understand your rights and protect your child's best interests throughout the legal process.

When Should I Hire a Child Custody Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a child custody lawyer in several situations, especially when disputes arise or complex legal issues affect your parental rights. Some common reasons to hire a child custody lawyer include:

  • Divorce or separation: If you're going through a divorce or separation and need to establish custody and visitation arrangements, a lawyer can help ensure the custody order reflects your child's best interests.
  • Disputed custody cases: If you and the other parent cannot agree on custody or visitation terms, a lawyer can advocate for your rights in court and help you develop a strong case.
  • Modification of custody orders: If you need to change an existing custody arrangement due to changes in circumstances (e.g., relocation, changes in the child’s needs), a lawyer can help file a modification request.
  • Parental alienation: If the other parent is interfering with your relationship with your child, a lawyer can help address these issues through legal action.
  • Domestic violence or abuse: If there is a history of domestic violence or abuse, a lawyer can help protect you and your child by requesting restraining orders and advocating for appropriate custody arrangements.
  • Grandparent or third-party custody: If you are a grandparent or another relative seeking custody or visitation rights, a lawyer can guide you through the legal process.
  • Paternity disputes: In cases where paternity is in question, a lawyer can assist with establishing or challenging paternity, which may affect custody and visitation rights.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help protect your parental rights and ensure that the custody arrangement is in your child's best interests.

What Does a Child Custody Lawyer Do?

A child custody lawyer provides a variety of legal services to help parents resolve custody disputes and secure favorable custody arrangements for their children. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Filing custody petitions: Helping you file the necessary paperwork to request custody or visitation rights and ensuring all legal procedures are followed.
  • Negotiating custody agreements: Assisting in negotiating custody and visitation arrangements, often working toward a mutually beneficial parenting plan without going to court.
  • Representing you in court: If you and the other parent cannot agree on custody terms, representing you in court by presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
  • Drafting parenting plans: Helping you draft a comprehensive parenting plan that outlines the schedule for physical custody, decision-making responsibilities, and visitation.
  • Handling child support issues: Assisting with related issues such as child support, ensuring that financial obligations are properly calculated and enforced.
  • Modifying custody orders: Helping you request a modification from the court if you need to change an existing custody arrangement due to significant life changes.
  • Mediating custody disputes: Acting as a mediator to help both parents reach an agreement on custody and visitation without the need for litigation.

How Are Child Custody Lawyers Paid?

Child custody lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case, the time involved, and the nature of the legal work. Common payment methods include:

  • Hourly rate: Most child custody lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer's experience and location. The total cost depends on the time spent preparing documents, negotiating, and representing you in court.
  • Flat fee: For simple custody matters or uncontested custody agreements, some lawyers may offer a flat fee for specific services, such as drafting a parenting plan or filing a custody petition.
  • Retainer: Many lawyers require an upfront retainer fee, which is billed against as the lawyer works on your case. The amount varies based on the expected complexity and duration of the case.
  • Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some lawyers may offer reduced fees or pro bono (free) services for clients with limited financial means, particularly in cases involving domestic violence or other serious issues.

It’s important to discuss fees and payment arrangements with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will be charged and what services are included.

How Much Does a Child Custody Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a child custody lawyer depends on various factors, including the complexity of the case, whether it’s contested or uncontested, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost estimates include:

  • Uncontested custody cases: Legal fees may range from $1,500 to $5,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the paperwork and any negotiations.
  • Contested custody cases: Legal fees can range from $5,000 to $40,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the issues, the need for expert testimony, and the time spent in litigation.
  • Hourly rates: Lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, with higher rates for more experienced attorneys or complex custody disputes.
  • Mediation services: If both parents agree to work through mediation, costs typically range from $1,000 to $5,000 or more for the mediation process.

Always ask for a clear cost estimate during your consultation to ensure that you understand the total legal fees and payment structure.

Top Questions to Ask a Child Custody Lawyer

Before hiring a child custody lawyer, it’s essential to ask the right questions to ensure they are the best fit for your case. Some key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with child custody cases?
    Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, especially if your case involves complex issues like domestic violence, relocation, or paternity disputes.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees for certain services, or requires a retainer, and ask for an estimate of the total cost.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and expected outcomes.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Inquire about the expected timeline from filing the petition to reaching an agreement or going to trial.
  5. Will you personally handle my case?
    Ensure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court.
  6. Can we pursue mediation or alternative dispute resolution?
    Ask whether the lawyer recommends mediation or other forms of dispute resolution to avoid a lengthy court battle.

How to Check the Credibility of a Child Custody Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable child custody lawyer, follow these 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 and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for family law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in family law and child custody cases.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge the lawyer’s professionalism and success in child custody matters.
  • Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on custody cases.
  • Check for certifications: Look for lawyers who are board-certified in family law or have memberships in organizations like the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) or local family law sections.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a child custody lawyer, come prepared with relevant documents and information:

  • Court orders or existing custody agreements: Bring copies of any existing custody or visitation orders for the lawyer to review.
  • Communication with the other parent: Provide copies of emails, texts, or letters regarding custody, visitation, or disputes.
  • List of your child’s needs: Prepare a list of your child’s specific needs, such as medical care, education, and extracurricular activities.
  • Timeline of the case: Outline key events related to your custody case, including changes in living situations or parental involvement.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions about the custody process, legal fees, and the lawyer’s strategy for your case.

By being well-prepared, you can help the lawyer assess your situation effectively and receive the best possible advice for protecting your rights and your child’s well-being.
