Regarding a matter that involves a family cabin that was taken into consideration during the process of estate planning, Morgan Legal Group did a wonderful job with the case to deal with the situation.
Furthermore, they consistently demonstrated a high level of sensitivity towards any queries or concerns that were brought up during the process. From the very beginning to the very finish of whatever was being done, this ensured that everything went off without a hitch and that everything occurred without any problems.

During the process of estate planning, Andrew did an excellent job of leading us through each phase of the process. He accomplished this by walking us through the process step by step. Not only was he extraordinarily comprehensive and well-organized, but he was also able to explain everything in a way that ensured it was easy to comprehend. He was a master of communication. I found this to be a very beneficial resource for those persons who had no prior experience working in the legal sector.

David, I want express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional legal representation you provided during my divorce proceedings. Your professionalism, expertise, and unwavering support made a significant difference in navigating this challenging chapter of my life.
From our very first meeting, I was impressed by your attentiveness and the genuine concern you showed for my well-being. Your ability to listen attentively and understand the intricate details of my situation instilled in me a sense of confidence and trust. Throughout the entire process, you consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of family law and expertly guided me through the legal complexities.
Your strategic approach to my case was invaluable. You meticulously analyzed all aspects, considered various options, and provided sound advice that empowered me to make informed decisions. Your attention to detail, thorough research, and persuasive arguments were evident during negotiations

Robert is the best! He represented me in my divorce case. The first thing that he did was to explain the legal papers that I was served in layman's terms, as opposed to the legaleze it was written in. He handled everything, and kept me informed every single step of the way. The way that he simplified legal jargon, without talking down to me really left an impact on me. By the time the process had come to an end, Robert got me much more than I assumed I would walk away with. He never tried to run my pockets dry. In fact he didn't charge for some of the things that he did. I highly recommend Robert L. Bogen. If you are smart, you would stop shopping around, and call Robert now.

Mr. Bogen is a highly professional, knowledgeable, and caring advocate. I recommend him without qualification! He completed all necessary estate planning documents for my mother and for my wife and me. He also handled a very contentious divorce for a teacher colleague of mine. She was thrilled with the settlement Mr. Bogen was able to secure for her. He is an excellent attorney and a person who has earned my trust and appreciation.

If you find yourself needing an attorney, Steven Ganim, is the attorney to choose!
Steven represented me for a Real Estate case and he didn't just represent me he educated me, respected me, and ensured I was in trusted hands. Steven's communication and follow through is impeccable. His integrity, intelligence and commitment definitely shone through. Regardless of his case load (I would have no idea but I would have to assume it is large due to his ability) you will feel as if you are his only client and his #1 priority! I highly recommend Steven and Ganim Law Group.

I can’t describe the feeling I get whenever I have to visit a lawyer, but with at this law firm, I felt completely at ease working with Nicole Blais.

They went above and beyond to fight for my settlement, and I was incredibly impressed with their results. I highly recommend this law firm to anyone who needs legal assistance.

Jordan Gerber is a complete angel on Earth. She was willing to take on my complex case, which had already been set for trial, when most attorneys wouldn’t touch it. My case was not only complex by legal standards, but I had also unfortunately been representing myself and had undoubtably made things worse (although Jordan was too gracious to tell me so.)
Nevertheless, Jordan jumped right in and was truly so compassionate and very knowledgeable about the outstanding issues in my case. Within weeks of taking me on as a client, she managed to make great strides in removing a major obstacle that was a thorn in my side for the many years of my legal battles.
She fought hard for me every step of the way, she was thorough and fierce in her representation, and she put a lot on the line because she believed in my rights to due process. That means a lot to someone when their chips are down. I felt empowered by having Jordan in my corner, she is an absolute Rockstar in my book.
If you are looking for a family law attorney that will take their time to learn about you, your family, and your case, and will fight like hell for you; look no further, hire Jordan immediately.

Sander proved to be an exceptional divorce attorney, offering not only legal expertise but also a calm and supportive presence throughout the process. From the initial consultation, he took the time to listen carefully, understanding the unique circumstances of the case and providing personalized advice. His thorough knowledge of family law was evident in the way he explained complex legal matters in a clear and understandable manner, making it easier to navigate difficult decisions.
Throughout the proceedings, Sander remained proactive and detail-oriented, ensuring that all necessary paperwork was completed accurately and on time. His strategic approach to negotiation was impressive, as he helped secure a fair settlement that reflected my best interests. What stood out was his ability to remain calm under pressure, even when emotions ran high, allowing me to feel reassured and confident in the outcome.
Beyond his legal expertise, Sander demonstrated genuine empathy and care. He understood the emotional toll of the divorce process and made sure to check in regularly, offering both legal guidance and emotional support. This combination of professionalism and compassion made a difficult time much more manageable, and I would highly recommend Sander to anyone in need of a skilled and caring divorce attorney.

Divorce attorney Wendy Hausmann took over my case with a high level of professionalism and integrity. She explained all the legal aspects in detail and she was up front with me from the beginning about my chances, legal options, time expected, possible outcomes, and legal fees. Ms. Hausmann was a true professional every step of the way and always responded to all my phone calls in a timely manner and answered all the questions I had. In addition, she was always well prepared and performed extremely well in the courtroom. I will retain her services in the future, if needed, and recommend her without reservation.”

Divorce is the hardest possible thing I've dealt with especially involving kids. I had taste buds taken off my mouth not wanting to eat due to this matter of divorce to crying that my now ex-wife would let me see my kids.
I left her so she had an avenue which is making my life hard through attorneys to get back. Long story story short I hired a cheap attorney versus not having one worst mistake ever... Hired Andrea she gets to the point divorced in record time. She doesn't play games and plays devils advocate as she knows the system. Best thing she advised to me is that she said to me with ease. "Your the same person going through a divorce with a different last name" She's a 10 Star. Me and my ex wife next to me. She turned a 14 month battle and converted in 90 days.

The Reid Law Group worked with me during the most difficult time of my life. The were compassionate from the start. The best part is their empathy is matched with their wisdom (which is invaluable during this process) and knowledge. I have worked with lawyers in my professional life but never have I had a entire team support and guide me the way Andrea and her team did. They were there every step of the way. If you want a strong advocate who will create a strategy that helps you achieve your individual goals... there is no one better. They understand that clients may have different desired outcomes and they work with you to help you meet these goals. Everything is explained thoroughly but ultimately they want what is best for your situation. I truly feel blessed that a friend (a-highly respected family law attorney) recommended her to me. Thank you for leading me to the best outcome for me in a remarkably trying situation. Forever thankful!

Prenups can be difficult even when both parties are in agreement on the terms. Sam took all the stress out of the process, and did a great job of getting things done in a reasonable amount of time, and to everyone's satisfaction. Consequently, I highly recommend him both professionally and personally as someone you should seriously consider when looking for legal representation in his areas of expertise.

I worked with Andrew Schwartz and his legal team, on a renouncement of a co-executorship. The situation was highly emotional for me, but Andy and Sunny really helped me to understand what was being asked of me and what my options could potentially be. They made me feel like my case - and my feelings - mattered.
They were professional, approachable, and handled the challenges - and my emotions - with skill and confidence. I am so thankful to have had their help and guidance. If you want legal team who knows their stuff and genuinely cares, look no further!

In 2021, I faced losing my sons, as my ex-wife sprung an emergency motion to relocate them out of Florida. In a time crunch, I searched for the best family law attorney in Palm Beach County. God blessed me and I found Stacey. With professionalism and humility, she joined my family law attorney (who didn't have expertise in emergency relocation motions/hearings), and became a member of the team, and now of my extended family. After experiencing legal hell since 2020, we finally had our due process and day in court. The positive court ruling has given my family a chance at a new beginning, most importantly to the benefit of my sons. Stacey Mullins helped us realize this positive legal outcome. Her poise, brilliance, ethics, and experience is extraordinary. Most of all, she genuinely cares and zealously works to achieve justice.

I am finding it difficult to even put into words how grateful I am for the work Todd put into my family law case.
From returning phone calls on weekends, to filing emergency documents in the middle of the night, he was there with me every step of the way. I heard from many friends their lawyers were extremely condescending and unresponsive, so I was worried what I may encounter during my journey. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney than Todd. He took my case personally and does not even utilize a paralegal for his practice. He is hands on and does everything himself. He lives and breathes for his work.
Our intitial consult was on a Sunday. I called his answering service and he returned my message within minutes. While he never pressured me to retain him for my case, I hired him on the spot. It was the best decision I made.
My case was invovled and he had the knowledge and experience to see it through, despite many complications along the way. He definitely took an outside the box approach to several matters that ended up closing the case.
No one expects to need a family law attorney. However, should you find yourself in that position, Todd is an excellent choice.
Andrew was also briefly involved with my case and while we did not have much interaction, I was impressed by his compassion and appreciated the time he took to offer his insight as well.
On a final note, I found Todd's billing extremely reasonable and fair. Thank you to this firm for helping me through an extremely difficult time in my life.

I was referred to Andrew Lieberman by a personal friend. I met Andrew for my consultation and at that moment I knew he was the one that would represent me in my case for custody/overnights for my baby boy. It was a battle to get overnights with my son and the mother was putting up every wall possible for me to prevent me from getting overnights. With Andrews professional guidance and knowledge of the law the case was settled at mediation as he had mentioned. I was ecstatic with the out come and blessed that Andrew was there to help thru the process. His professionalism, understanding and punctuality to respond to every answer of the opposing counsel was impeccable. He made this whole process easy to understand and cooperate with. I never want to go thru this ever again. But if any of my friends or family unfortunately have to go thru this they can rest assure that I will be referring my attorney and friend Andrew Lieberman of Law Office of WiseLieberman.

Denise handled my modification of alimony negotiations. She was the only lawyer who told me without hesitation that my outrageous alimony settlement could be modified to my benefit. I felt confident that she could do the job and I retained her. Denise took a broad look at the situation with impressive psychological insight, paying attention to details, to circumstances, to recent events and history. She involved me in the process and we planned our moves wisely. Denise displayed her expertise on the applicable law and on the court system. She was resourceful, bringing in the necessary consultants,yet keeping reasonable expenses. She was very successful and now I know why. She is my kind of lawyer.

I cannot express enough gratitude to Tina Lewert and her staff for the exceptional support and guidance they provided during one of the most challenging times of my life. Tina was not only THE most knowledgeable and skilled attorney I could find (after much research and many consults!) but she was also a compassionate ally to me throughout my divorce process. From the beginning, Tina took the time to understand my goals and my many concerns and she consistently provided clear, practical advice om every issue. She was always responsive and made me feel heard which is exactly what I needed. Thanks to her expertise and strategy, we were able to achieve a successful outcome in my case (even though she astutely told me "no one ever wins or loses a divorce"). I'm just so grateful to have had Tina and her very experienced and patient staff on my team and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a dedicated and effective family law attorney.

She has proven to be...the best!

Tina is a wonderful attorney. She guided me through my ugly case and ultimately her wisdom lead me to successful settlement of my case. She wasn’t afraid to advise me of the pros AND cons of my case, and the legal system which can be brutal, and I always felt like she was being straight with me, instead of just telling me what I wanted to hear like another attorney I spoke with. Tina is quick on her feet and I could also tell that she is respected by judges and other attorneys (by the way everyone treated her when we did have to go to court to finalize the divorce once settled). If you need a strong, confident divorce lawyer who also happens to be a good person, hire Tina Lewert.

Let’s face it, divorce is never something that is easy or painless for anyone involved. It forces us to expose our “underbellies” when we already feel vulnerable and afraid. The Ozelie team was incredibly sensitive to the tender emotions involved. They were very fair towards finding middle ground for a settlement, yet protective of my interest in their legal approach. They were available many times outside of normal business hours, and always respectful of my position and perspective. If you unfortunately find yourself in a divorce situation, I HIGHLY recommend and encourage you to reach out to OZELIE and determine if they are a fit for you. BTW, I have now retained them for representing me on some legal issues one of my adult children is facing.

I hired Abby for a very complex and distressing paternity case. I was undergoing a lot of emotional and psychological stress at the time and had a difficult time placing my trust in anyone, especially for something which involved the welfare of the most important person in my life, my son. Abby was not only tremendously educated in child custody law and the perfect balance of a compassionate and stabilizing force, but also possessed a presence of honor, decency and integrity, both in and out of the court room. I was extremely satisfied, not only with the results of the order, but with her role in the whole process of this emotionally draining and turbulent time in my life. Watching her in the court room, and how she handled herself made me both proud and honored that she was my lawyer. I would hire her again in an instant if needed!

The best lawyer. He was the only one who could help us with our case. Despite the fact that in the course of the case it was not possible to receive compensation for injuries, Alexander did not abandon us and brought the case to the end!

I was a client of Mr. Weicholz in 2016. I am a domestic violence survivor and Todd made all the difference. He was always in communication with me regarding my case and any fees were clearly explained in advance. He sat with me as I cried and comforted me with honest and helpful legal advice. After being revictimized by the state and opposing attorney, Todd made it clear he would be there to represent me and my best interests only, which I felt no one else was doing. I am so grateful to both Todd and his staff for their respect and commitment to me personally and my family as well. I would never had received the positive resolution of my very emotional and difficult case without Mr. Weicholz and his advice. I would highly recommend him to all looking for a great attorney.

We hired Todd and Chad to represent our son -- they were outstanding, professional, and communicating constantly with us regarding any update or change of circumstances. I do not think we would have achieved the excellent result we did without them! I highly recommend Laing And Weicholz and would not hire anyone else!

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.

- 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.

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:
-
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. -
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. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and expected outcomes. -
How long will the process take?
Inquire about the expected timeline from filing the petition to reaching an agreement or going to trial. -
Will you personally handle my case?
Ensure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court. -
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.
