Through what was a painful, frustrating and difficult time, Gayle was such a calming presence who I always knew had my back. She took the time to get to know me and to understand my perspective and priorities. I never doubted for a second that she was working hard on my behalf and doing everything she could to achieve the best outcome for me. She was easy to talk with and extremely compassionate in her handling of my entire case. I hope I never have to go through this again, but when I did, I'm definitely glad that Gayle was the one helping me through it.

15 Jan, 2024 by Anonymous

Gayle has provided excellent legal counsel to me over the past years. Though my outcome legally was favorable, I want to say I would still recommend Gayle even if it was not. She is realistic and transparent about the legal realities and proceedings of the court, often something I do not see professionally with attorneys who promise the world and string someone along. I greatly appreciate all she has done and recommend her to my peers or friends which may encounter similar experiences in life.

Wonderful folks, I was hit while I was stopped at a light...I will probably have issues for life. These guys made sure that I was treated fairly by the insurance company. I would, and have, recommended them to others that have been in an accident. Their involvement made all the difference in the world. I don't think the insurance company would have even covered my medical bills if it wasn't for having a lawyer. Thank you for all of your help in navigating the crazy process of insurance paperwork and procedure.

Andrew is has been and will continue to be the only place we go for Estate Planning and Advice in this area. He’s not only been incredible with his extensive experience and services, he was also patient with us through the entire process. Not having any knowledge about what we were getting into, he guided us through numerous decisions, made simple and easy explanations of very complex matters and really made us feel extremely comfortable. There’s a reason Andrew is a leader in this industry. His knowledge is unparalleled, his advice is spot on and he shows up every step of the way.

31 May, 2024 by Brent welty

It was a very good experience working with Andrew Kroll on our estate planning. He is always very helpful, professional and personable. We now feel like we have everything in order for our estate for the easiest transition to our children without hassles for them. Andrew also has reasonable pricing. It is a pleasure working with him.

01 May, 2024 by Beck norris

Highly recommend Andrew and his firm for establishing your will and Trust - he and his team made the process simple and straightforward, were friendly and patient, and I have complete peace of mind in regard to what will happen to my estate in the event of my demise.

After a five year fiasco with a previous law firm and a dozen interviews in search of the best representation for my Child Support Case, I found Jeff Alter. From our first conversation I could tell that Jeff really cares about his clients, knows family law forward & backward, and that he wanted to do well for my son and me. And that's exactly what he did - in a very simple, concise, and professional manner - without running up a huge legal bill or making me feel like I had to run the case on my own due to not caring enough to pay attention to the details - which I had felt for years prior to retaining Jeff's services. If you are a parent in search of the very best your money can buy, look no further. Jeff Alter is a true professional and his results speak for themselves.

Highly recommend. Alter Family Law is surely on your side and will fight for your case to win!

I was very lucky to work with Nicole. She was kind, understanding and she made sure I was protected and cared for. Helping me proceed far beyond what I would have ever considered. She was great to work with, supportive and honestly, I wish I would have listened to her more!! She is amazing. Trustworthy, compassionate, passionate when it matters and communicated so well, I never felt I didn’t understand what was going on and she is extremely organized. Divorce is a very stressful situation, you want someone like her to be your voice and have your back. Very happy with her representing me.

I used Halleh in my divorce and custody case. She is knowledgable and thoughtful in her counsel. I felt that she truly wanted the best for me. I also had a more complicated financial case and her expertise came in hand. I needed a little more hand holding and explanation throughout the process which she provided.

23 Jul, 2024 by Krista

"Halleh and her team provided invaluable support during my lengthy and somewhat contentious divorce process. Even when things became unnecessarily difficult due to the other party, she worked through options with me and gave helpful advice and information. What really stood out was their combination of professionalism and clear communication. The team was always responsive to my questions and concerns, keeping me well-informed at every stage.    I'm grateful for having Halleh and her team’s dedicated representation during this difficult chapter. Their guidance was crucial in the process to a fair settlement and moving forward. I would recommend their services to anyone facing a complex divorce situation."

Halleh Omidi guided me through the challenging journey of a high conflict divorce all the way to the finish line. Her team showed exceptional patience and kindness in navigating tough decisions throughout the process. They were consistently professional and always prioritized my best interests. Halleh was prompt in responding to my emails and adeptly clarified legal matters for me. I wholeheartedly recommend Halleh Omidi and her team for anyone seeking representation in their case.

I was in a not-at-fault auto accident in Colorado Springs, where I was rear-ended, and my car was totaled. After speaking with Mr. Clawson, I retained him as my attorney. Mr. Clawson and his team were courteous and professional and provided exceptional representation. I received a settlement more significant than I could have imagined. I highly recommend the Clawson Team for any bodily injury accident claim! The free initial consultation was also helpful! Thank you.

I highly recommend Clawson & Clawson! Mr. Clawson and the whole team were so helpful, understanding, and knew exactly how to get things done as related to my automobile accident. My medical bills added up quickly, and I never thought they would all be covered, let alone get money for me. I was amazed at the outcome. I received the best medical treatment, and my expenses were covered. I received more than I ever hoped to cover future needs. Thank you, Mr. Clawson!

20 Jun, 2021 by Cheri

He explains everything, very detail oriented and understands the stress that I was going through. I am so pleased with my results. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. Thank you both Natalie and Matthew for getting me through one of the toughest times in my life. You are amazing!

I am very pleased with Larry Free. He has been a pleasure to interact with. His paralegal also has been a pleasure to interact with. I am very pleased with the firm KWPF overall. Would recomend them very much... I. Gonzalez

30 Jan, 2024 by Jannika ryan

When I got hurt on the job, I ran into issues with treatment and workman’s compensation. I reached out to Larry and his team for help- which proved to be one of the best decisions I ever made. Not only did Larry go above and beyond to keep me informed on the process, he was able to help me settle for more than expected AND get me the freedom to seek consistent treatment for my recovery. I couldn’t be happier (or more relieved) to have sought representation from Mr. Free.

08 Jan, 2024 by Kate dana

Larry Free was nothing short of a life saver. His expertise, kindness and personalized care made an incredibly difficult situation in my life significantly easier to get through. I finally felt like I had someone reliable and well-equipped in my corner for the litigious fight ahead. He was always up front, honest and approachable. Larry is a lawyer who is on your side and at your side when you need him. He graciously took my case and with confidence and integrity he got me to the end of a long road where I was no longer defeated but in a place where I was finally back up on my feet, financially and otherwise. Couldn’t recommend Larry and this firm more, they are all highly professional and incredibly prepared to fight for their clients and to fight for what is right. I couldn’t be more grateful.

I hired Andrew Bryant as my lawyer in my child custody case that was a complete nightmare! Both Andrew and Emily worked tirelessly dealing with with custody and criminal aspects of my case. They also worked with me and stayed on through the entire multitude of the cases, of what ended up being a couple years. They were supportive and informative through everything! I couldn't have made made it through such an intricate and intimidating custody battle for my son, and criminal case paired with it, without their no-nonsense drive, expertise, and absolute devotion to their clients and cases! I would go to Andrew immediately in the future if I need a lawyer again, and will continue to recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer in the future!

30 Jun, 2022 by Jen

Going through a divorce can be so hard, especially with all the uncertainty. With every call, hearing, and court appearance, Andy's knowledge and confidence proved successful time and time again. His No-BS approach has the opposing counsel scrambling. We won and got everything we asked for. Hiring a lawyer is daunting; but if you hire Andy, know you'll be well taken care of, from day 1!

01 Nov, 2021 by Malinda

Andy is one of the best lawyers to work with! He's great at what he does and is a bulldog in the courtroom! His wife and staff were awesome, as well! Well worth the money spent!

The entire staff at Marrison Family Law is top notch! Having been a client for 2.5 years during my DV divorce and custody case, I can say with out a doubt that I made the best choice in law firm. You can tell that every client matters to the owner Pat Marrison and the firm. Mark Bosworth and his paralegal Shannon have been nothing short of outstanding through the entire process- and I did not have an easy divorce case. They handled every aspect of the case with professionalism, support and are both extremely knowledgeable and well versed in the process of family law cases. I was awarded full custody of my children and Mark and his team fought to make sure that was the outcome. I cannot recommend them enough! When you are going through a hard situation and need someone strong by your side, Marrison Family Law is the best choice!

A friend referred me to Dominic J. Perrino and told me that he was helping her navigate a contentious adversary who was negatively affecting her children and was causing great distress for her whole family. She told me that Mr. Perrino was compassionate, highly efficient, helped her with the documentation, and listened carefully to her needs. I had spent several months contacting about 42 divorce lawyers in the Colorado Springs area, but I finally decided to go with Marrison Family Law because of my friend’s recommendation. Mr. Perrino did not disappoint — far from it, and he came up with strategies for me that solved seemingly impossible problems, saved me tens of thousands of dollars, and was able to assist me in negotiating a divorce settlement that made the difference between walking away with enough to start my life over or ending up in a protracted fight and financially catastrophic outcome which is the likely fate I was facing. My paralegal, Rene, has given me appropriate, focused attention, responded quickly and efficiently to every inquiry I’ve made, at the same time that she and my lawyer have worked very hard to keep my fees to a minimum. As a result, I was able to get through this extremely painful and harrowing process in roughly 100 days with competent, caring support. I have full confidence that they are fully invested in my success and truly care about my well-being. A professional staff member at Marrison Family Law answers the phone every single time I have called during business hours. They respond to my e-mail communications usually within the same day or no later than the next business day. They are consistently professional, courteous, and efficient. I am eternally grateful to Dominic, Rene, the support staff, and Ms. Marrison for providing a level of personalized and professional service that I would never have been able to find at a big-name law firm. Also, unlike other practices I have researched, they do not have a policy of intentionally aggravating emotions in order to create conflict between the parties so that they can increase their charges. Quite the opposite, they were completely cooperative to my insistence that I maintain a stance of peace during the divorce process. They made sure that I didn’t incur any unnecessary charges so my total divorce costs were about a third of what I expected — and I am fantastically happy about that. I must also give credit where credit is due; this outcome heavily depended upon the cooperation of the other party to a peaceful process. Everyone has a unique situation and experience with their divorce, so your experience might be different but I highly recommend Marrison Family Law because they are truly focused on my success, are cost-conscientious, and they were able to provide efficient, personalized, creative strategies for problem solving. Finally, and most importantly, I believe that my friend’s referral to Mr. Perrino was Divinely directed. Thanks be to God for His provision, protection, and guidance! Blessings, An eternally grateful client

I finally found Chris for my ongoing extremely difficult divorce and appeal. He is the 4th attorney during the legal process. I really wish he was the only one from the beginning. Chris handled both appeal, and trial incredible well. There is not enough word to explain his personality, his intelligence, his professionalism, his expertise. If you are looking for one lawyer, he is the one for sure. I have been the only one support my two teenagers emotionally and financially. I was at the point that I couldn’t be able to read and/or hear anything about the case without having anxiety. Divorce had been drained me both financially and emotionally until I decided to give Chris a call. CHRIS SAVED ME! I trust him, I ONLY trust him. I had to mention how fair with how he charges. It was also another huge plus since I had really bad experiences with previous lawyers. I am so lucky to have him as my lawyer who is the best of the best. Thank you Chris for everything all you have done for me and my girls. I will forever be grateful! Highly recommended!

As a business owner going through a divorce in Colorado, I found myself in need of a family law attorney who could navigate the complexities of my case with an astute understanding of both family law and business ownership. Gavin Halligan and the team at Halligan LLC exceeded all my expectations. Gavin demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge specific to Colorado divorce law, particularly as it pertains to the division of assets and businesses. She was able to meticulously dissect the intricate web of my business finances to ensure a fair division of assets. Her understanding of the interplay between business ownership and divorce law was, quite frankly, remarkable. Throughout the process, Gavin's communication was consistently clear, straightforward, and tailored to my understanding. She took the time to explain the legal jargon and ensured I was fully aware of all potential outcomes. Her strategic approach and expert negotiation skills allowed us to avoid a lengthy and expensive trial, for which I am extremely grateful. Every interaction I had with the team at Halligan LLC was a testament to their professionalism and efficiency. They made the process as seamless as possible, constantly keeping me informed about my case. Gavin Halligan's expertise is evident in her mastery of both family law and the specific challenges that come with business ownership in a divorce setting. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in a similar situation. Her five-star performance made a difficult process significantly easier for me, and I am certain she will do the same for others.

I've witnessed her carefully navigate the complexities of the legal landscape, always keeping the best interests of her clients at heart. Her approach is both empathetic and strategic, a combination that is not easy to come by. Her commitment to her clients is truly commendable. She has the ability to communicate the most convoluted legal jargon in a straightforward, understandable manner. This skill not only puts her clients at ease but also empowers them with the knowledge they need to navigate their own legal situations. Her dedication goes beyond office hours. She consistently stays informed about the latest changes in family law, showcasing a level of commitment that is truly admirable.

He is articulate, personable, attentive, and professional. He is incredibly knowledgeable and all around good person. I am so thankful for him. He is an aggressive attorney that always looks out for your best interest. Very grateful that I was directed to Aviso Law.

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

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

Hiring Dawn and her firm was the best decision ever! Before my custody case, I was very concerned that my chances of retaining custody of my son was slim at best. Dawn personally reassured me that if I did my part in getting all crucial information to her regarding the case that we would have every fighting chance of winning. Dawn's diligence and persistence shined in every aspect of my case and it showed. She is very good at what she does and have already and will continue to brag upon her and her team! Thanks Dawn for everything that you did for my son and I!

An attorney I really respect recommended Dawn. I am very thankful I picked Dawn to represent me through my divorce. She was flexible and listened to what I wanted, at the same time always quick and clear to point out whether an action was or wasn't in my best interest. I agree with other reviews here that Dawn is great about keeping the process moving and keeping you on point. This is critical at a time when you are undergoing such a stressful event and you need a good guide to show you the way. Dawn paints a clear picture of what is ahead and she and her staff are always responsive to questions. You will be in good hands with Dawn!

Mr. Laski was very informative in my case and helped walk me through the entire process of my case, he gave me detailed invoices on what and why I was being charged and also helped lower some of my costs on things I could do on my own which was very helpful. He spent a lot of time going over all the details of my case and got my charges lowered. I would definitely use him again if I needed legal representation.

Jessica laskey is an amazing attorney! She has helped me out tremendously. I can't thank her enough for all the hard work she has done for me. She has gone above and beyond! Hands down, without question, I would definitely recommend her to ANYONE who needs a lawyer.

Originally I started with a lawyer where when we showed up to the first court appearance the Judge shut us out didn’t let that attorney speak, and didn’t want to hear anything she had to say! I’m so glad she chose to transfer the case to Jessica Lasky. This amazing attorney came in like super woman throwing blows to the entire court system. Fortunately she is well experienced with the DA and knows a lot of things that normal attorneys aren’t familiar with. Everything started in early August and by Late November I had my life and freedom back forever. Thank you so much to this amazing staff who taught me the reason why it is beneficial to have a outstanding Law Firm on your side. Honestly there’s not enough words in this universe to explain the amount of gratitude I have for these wonderful people. The service and communication with everyone is on point definitely recommending them to anyone in need of a Great Law Firm. I wish you all well, and again Thank you so much!

Simply “Wow”!!! Is the first word that comes to mind but I do have many more to say, so here goes….. I would like to give a bit shout out “thanks” to Jessica Lasky and her team….From the first time I got to speak to Jessica with all of my concerns and troubles we then ended the call on a good note/plan. Divorces and child custody are not always easy but Jessica and her team got me through it. Jessica knew exactly what i was speaking off and simply read my mind. She took action and worked on my case like no other and to the best of her ability and more. Jessica is such a tactful woman, ambitious, talented, empathetic, resourceful, intelligent, and aggressive attorney when needed. I must say i was very impressed with her and pleased with her work skills. I do recommend to all as i do believe we need a Jessica on our side when it relates to family law.

Mr. Travis and his paralegal Dauna were wonderful in representing me in my divorce and child custody case. They were both very knowledgeable about laws, and detail oriented in preparing my case. I was extremely impressed with their explanations of all of my questions. Mr. Travis spent time talking with me about a situation that could have potentially gone negative on me with my kids, and helped me form a positive plan to present in my hearing. The outcome for me and my children could not have gone better. Their firm was also cost cautious. I will definitely hire Travis Law if I ever need legal representation in the future.

I have nothing but gratitude and respect for Christina Friedman, whose expert guidance was crucial in getting my monthly maintenance payments reduced after a significant change in my circumstances. Her strategic advice and understanding of Colorado law allowed me to reach a fair agreement with my ex without going through a costly court battle. Ms. Friedman provided clear and timely advice throughout the process that helped me navigate discussions with confidence. Her professionalism and wisdom not only helped me to achieve a significant reduction in payments, but also saved me thousands in legal fees. Her empathetic approach and effective communication made a challenging process much smoother. I highly recommend Ms. Friedman for anyone needing knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate legal representation in family law.

What else can I say about Christina, Derica & Kendra, The whole team held the stuff together when they needed to. I knew a divorce process was not easy however with my health issues attached and everyday life too, there were days that I really didn't know what I was doing, where I was going, did I miss something or forget to pay my bill... the list goes on. I thank you Christina for every "heads up" call you made to me, your sharing of your feelings BEFORE forwarding the opposing counsels emails and your overall human-ness during this process, I am so grateful I chose your firm to represent me... again Thank you, you all Rock!

Working with Linda was incredible. I was at such a vulnerable place in my separation, and Linda made this so much easier. Obviously, no one wants to get divorced, and I was particularly shocked and emotional throughout the process. The most remarkable quality Linda had was just making me feel validated. She listened to me, was comforting to me, gave realistic solutions, and treated me with such kindness and empathy. She would take the time to ask about my daughter, my friends, my job, just because she cared and genuinely wanted the best for me. I’ll never forget how touched that made me feel, and is something I would never expect of an attorney. But she was more than a lawyer to me - instead a guiding force. I appreciate how she treated me like a person first - a friend, even, and how that made me feel more level headed to take on the divorce process with gusto. Additionally, Linda was professional and fantastic at her job. She kept cost considerations in mind the entire time which was extra nice. Linda was always professional, had knowledge of the legal system that opposing counsel didn’t even seem to have, and always spoke honestly with me. She found solutions, got creative with me, and had my back through many frustrating situations in the divorce process. I would absolutely recommend Linda to anyone getting divorced. For me, it helped that she wasn’t dissimilar to me - friendly, young, a motivator for other women, and at times even funny. :) She made the legal system accessible for me: someone who had never thought she would be in this situation. The world needs more Lindas! :)

24 Oct, 2023 by Justin

Linda was wonderful to work with, very professional, and informative. Her work ethic proved to be a great help in my case. She was always fast to reply, and never left anything hanging. Even when she went on vacation, she kept me up-to-date with information. I definitely recommend her to anyone dealing with a family law case. I had a consultation meeting with her prior to hiring her, and I learned that she was going to be the right lawyer for me, but she was dedicated to the task and wouldn’t let me down.

03 Mar, 2023 by Stephanie

Linda came highly recommended, and I was very happy with my decision to hire her. She was flexible and fair in terms of figuring out pricing and what level of service worked best for me at various stages of my case. She was always communicative, organized, calm, kind, and exceedingly knowledgeable. I can’t say enough wonderful things about how pleasant my experience has been with Linda and Alyssa, despite the frustrating situation that evolved with my ex-spouse. Many thanks to both of you for helping me navigate what turned out to be a more complicated and stressful process that I originally anticipated when I filed.

Divorce, something I never planned on doing in my life time, yet when I found myself in that position I could not have had better representation. Taylor Jordan was knowledgeable, informative and kept me updated through every step. She made me feel like I was her only client and I was never made to feel rushed to make decisions. Taylor explained the procedure thoroughly and gave me the strength to see my decision through. Her billing was very fair and because of her knowledge I am a much happier person today. I have referred a relative and am sad that Taylor won't be here to help her. Many thanks to Taylor Jordan for helping me arrive at my new life! The best of luck to her in her new endeavors.

Taylor is an exceptional lawyer who is compassionate and determined to ensure the best possible outcome for her clients. My divorce was difficult and very lengthy. Taylor's resolve to advocate for me and pursue a fair and just result was beyond compare. Taylor is highly skilled at navigating complex legal issues. Her legal skills combined with her attention to detail and knowledge of legal precedence makes her a powerful attorney. I also really appreciated Taylor's responsiveness. She was quick to reply to me and all matters of my case. Taylor listened to me, connected with me, and truly made me feel like we were a team. I am grateful for her hard work and feel lucky to have been represented by her.

Taylor is extremely knowledgeable, competent in her work and someone who is has true compassion for her clients. I found Taylor to be well versed in her area of work, always helpful and put my mind at ease.

Veronica Martinez has represented me for the last three to four years in ongoing custody matters. Veronica's knowledge, compassion, and dedication are unmatched. During my four years of working with Veronica, she has taught me how to represent myself in the future to save money. She has shown compassion and love towards my family and truly cares about what is best for my daughter. I really could not ask for a better lawyer with such exceptional values for integrity, kindness, and professionalism. I don't want to think about where my daughter would be without Veronica having my back and working tirelessly to do right by my child. Veronica is simply the best in her field. I will always use her for future cases and always recommend her for any legal needs.

Veronica Martinez helped me navigate the issues that resulted from my divorce. She is a very conscientious & kind person, she is observant and strategic. I was very proud to have her by my side and there to stand up for me. She continued to offer guidance & support, and helped to secure the best possible outcome.

Veronica Martinez is a thorough professional. Her knowledge of the law is only matched by her incredible hard work and her compassionate care for her client. Throughout her representation she was in constant contact with me and truly did look out for my best interest. Never once did I ever feel neglected or my case did not matter. Her guidance in my case truly gave me peace of mind. If it wasn't for Veronica Martinez I simply do not know what I would have done. I would not hesitate to hire Veronica Martinez again if I needed Council, she is Simply the Best.

We have worked with Miranda Bouchey and can highly highly recommend her. She genuinely cares about our family and works incredibly hard on our case. She can understand the pain and tension we feel as parents as we deal with an ex and can also understand how our situation impacts our kids. She has made herself available to us; previous lawyers we have worked with were very hard to get a hold of, leaving us feeling abandoned at key times. Miranda is the total opposite. She prioritizes us when we need it, responds quickly to emails and makes herself available for phone consultations. We have felt so supported by her. She is also incredibly smart and competent. She knows the law and how to apply it to our situation. She is on top of every deadline and produces high quality work. She has calmly and expertly walked us through a situation we never wanted to be in. When you are walking down these terrible, messy and murky paths, you want Miranda by your side.

26 Aug, 2024 by Dion

Miranda was amazing! I knew I had an uphill battle going into our case since I wasn’t the primary care taker and my ex wife wanted to relocate with our son. I knew that I also had a lot going for me since I have always been there and have provided for my son since his birth as well. Miranda took my case on short notice and short preparation, but got up to speed quicker than I anticipated. She gave me the best possible legal advice (the to-do’s and not to-do’s) the entire 5-6 months she worked with me. When it came down to actually going to court, she guided and prepared me on exactly what was going to happen before even getting into the courtroom, so all I had to do was remember and execute what she told me to do. She was already in the courthouse before I arrive at the courthouse (which I’m always early) and I really appreciated that. She was attentive in the courtroom and honed in on what was important to the judge’s decision making. She won my case for me because she’s an amazing attorney and knew what to say and what not to say. I will be forever grateful for Miranda and her talent as an attorney! I hope I never have to go through this again, but she will be the first call I make if I ever need to. Thank you Miranda! You’re truly a blessing!

25 Jun, 2024 by Jesse

She has been very professional and very well knows about the law. She fights tooth and nail and a very kind and friendly person. I will recommend her to anyone that I find that needs a lawyer. 10/10 The best lawyer I’ve ever heard of and had.

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.

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.
