Erin is such a fantastic lawyer. I’ve worked with her for years over my lengthy divorce. Every step of the way she’s been on top of it all. Never a procrastinated moment, and always 3 steps ahead of the process. It really is because of her that I came out on the right side of the dirt from my divorce/custody battle, and I am forever thankful. If you are ever looking for a divorce attorney, I swear by Erin, she will make sure you are taken care of.

I worked with the team of Katie, Yomary and Sara and from the moment of the consultation I knew that these were the people for me. They were all very caring and sensitive for the difficult position that I was in, offered great advice and were incredibly patient and supportive the entire time. I doubt I could have found a better team to represent me anywhere.

They have been dragging their feet, losing paperwork and costing thousands of dollars on a simple divorce where neither of us had any children or assets. I have changed jobs a couple times and they want to charge to redo the paperwork. Why wasn't the paperwork turned in in the first place? They have lost paperwork so many times and then want to charge to replace it. I feel like they are scamming us because of all of their mishaps. We have to pay for it. A divorce that should have only cost a few hundred dollars at the most has cost thousands of dollars because of their lack of trying or just a desire or greed for money. Taking advantage is the best thing I can say about them. It's ridiculous! Do not use them!

I had been contacting several lawyers about getting a divorce when I couldn't locate my spouse and they were tremendously expensive for this type of divorce. I contacted Mr. Marlowe about this and he was very reasonably priced so I hired him. His staff is the best and handled every detail swiftly andprofessionally. The communication was extraordinary an d they kept me advised at every step along the way. Finally the completed the process of trying to locate my ex with no luck and were able to get me a signed decree of divorce by the judge with no issues. I couldn't recommend anyone more highly than Russell Marlowe and his staff. You can place you issue in their hands and relax because if they tell you they can get it done they will. I almost wish I had another issue to hire them for, they were that efficient and handled it all from start to finish. Thank you Mr. Marlowe and all of your staff. May God bless you and keep you all.

I hired Mr. Marlowe for a somewhat complex interstate family law matter. My issues were heard in Pasco County and Mr. Marlowe secured a favorable decision for me. Mr. Marlowe’s staff are courteous and professional and there seems to be good continuity in communication between him and his employees. I never felt apprehensive about reaching out to him or his staff because they’d kindly receive any messages or phone calls. If they were, unavailable or needed to look into something, they would return my calls extremely fast and would have an answer for me. In the Court Room: Russ spoke clearly, concisely and accurately. Our Judge had no questions for my side because of how Russ prepared my documents. He clearly defined the issue and gave expert legal foundation for the arguments he presented. Mr Marlowe’s most outstanding quality to me is his responsiveness and attitude towards me. He never seemed bothered or hurried in conversation, allowed me to speak and listened to my concerns. His fees were all reasonable and he was gracious with his time.

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.

WOW! I just don’t have the words to express how grateful I am that Attorney Marcus Sermons agreed to take on the lawsuits brought against me as the executor of my brother’s estate. I live in NH and my brother lived in Florida. Unfortunately, my brother’s biological and estranged child flew into Florida within 24 hrs of his death believing she was entitled to everything… regardless of his will and final wishes. Her deceitful and aggressive actions only added more sadness and trauma to the loss of my brother. I could say Attorney Sermons gave me 110% or 150% or 200% … but it was more than that. • First, he took on the case which was already messy from two previous attorneys… and I had been warned by a paralegal friend that no attorney would care to wade into a small, yet complicated estate lawsuit • Attorney Sermons’ calm, supportive demeanor brought me to tears immediately as I felt heard for the first time in more than a year • Attorney Sermons not only threw me a life raft, when I was too terrified to get in, he jumped into the water with me! What attorney does that? • He went above and beyond. He was available, heard me, was kind, and extremely patient as he worked to clarify the misinformation given to me by the two previous attorneys. I wish my brother had retained Attorney Marcus Sermons to create his will and final wishes. I wish I had found Attorney Marcus Sermons first, as I believe his expertise would have saved me from much of the pain and anguish I endured of having to navigate the hostility of a greedy spoiled child My advice to you… contact Attorney Sermons if need a competent, caring and ethical attorney.

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

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

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

She was always right on point and explained the pros and cons of my particular case. She helped me tremendously through the entire process and listened attentively to my needs. She was always quick to answer my calls and kept me informed at all times. Jennifer was an excellent advocate during this stressful emotional roller coaster called a Divorce. She has great communication skills, strong ability and willingness to listen in difficult times. I also want to recognize her assistant Maribel and all her office staff for making me feel at ease. Too many people fail to put in the time and effort to fully understand and comprehend what the client need or say. Jennifer had to clean the mess I was left with by prior representation and got me to mediation within few month and finalized the divorce in timely manner. I couldn’t have done without Jennifer and glad I found her. I highly recommend Jennifer for her hard work ethic and perseverance, knowledges, responsiveness and great communication skills.

When divorce hits you unexpectedly you find yourself scrambling to sort out your life. Finances, where to live, how to cope emotionally, and then there are the legal aspects to deal with. You need someone you can trust to help you navigate the process. That is what Jennifer Waterway did for me. She guided and educated me about the law and my rights. I always felt that she advocated for me especially through the process of dividing a marriage financially. She listened and helped me learn to think about divorce in terms of the legal aspects (when I was overwhelmed by emotions!). She helped me come to a reasonable result. I highly recommend her services. Thank you, Jennifer.

My company was downsizing and as a senior employee at retirement age, I lost my job. Knowing that I could not continue paying the high-cost permanent alimony that the court ordered years ago, I needed help. Remembering that a friend highly recommended Attorney Bill Dorsey, I scheduled a consultation. There was a fee, but it was worth it because “you get what you pay for”. I hired Bill and I am extremely fortunate that I did. He led throughout the entire process, and was assisted by team members Sue and Erica. When you hire The Dorsey Law Firm, they are genuinely interested in your case and are extremely helpful. Requests were promptly managed, and the team ALWAYS kept me informed on the status of current proceedings or actions. Impressive! At Mediation, a remarkably successful resolution was reached. I could not be happier! Bill Dorsey is Outstanding! YOU NEED his subject knowledge and strategic recommendations. If you want the best outcome for any court issue, call Bill Dorsey.

Mr Dorsey and his team helped dig me out of the messy trench my last 2 lawyers had left me in. I can’t begin to explain how bad my first few lawyers had screwed up my case and made me look bad against an abusive drug addict narcissist who could charm the pant suit off Hilary Clinton. Mr Dorsey took on my case and for the first time I actually felt like I could trust my lawyer. Unlike my last attorney who charged me an insane amount of money to screw me over, Mr Dorsey gave me a free consultation and always charged me honestly and fairly. He gave me his personal cell number for emergencies and him and his team were always very responsive to my calls and emails. He fought tooth and nail against one of the most dishonest and corrupt opposing councils I have ever seen! He is well known and honored around Jacksonville and St Augustine by many other esteemed lawyers and judges. If you are in need of a good, honest attorney who will fight for you as if you were his own family, you need to hire Bill Dorsey and his team. He is tough and does not give up. Believe me, I probably had the largest case file he had ever taken on in a civil case and he took the time to go over all of it so he didn’t miss a thing. He is stern but honest so listen to his advice because he knows what he is talking about. I can only say that about 1 other lawyer and I have met way more than I ever wanted to. If you are like me and can’t trust your lawyer and have been paying someone and trusting them with your life but all they seem to do is ignore you and take your money: HIRE BILL DORSEY and he will help you get your life (your child/children) back!

No one really wants to go through any family/custody battles. So when I was faced with this issues I had no choice but to retain an attorney. After numerous hours/days of research I found the Dorsey Law Firm. I came to Mr. Dorsey with a lot of uncertainty with my impending custody case. During my consultation Mr. Dorsey was fully tuned in and very attentive. He answered every question I had very confidently. After I retained Mr. Dorsey, his team and himself started working on the case promptly. They filed an emergency motion and was able to get a hearing for temporary custody within a few weeks. I was granted temporary custody until the outcome of the final hearing. In Preparation for the final hearing Mr. Dorsey and the team were with me every step of the way. They reassured me of the potential outcome, instilled confidence in myself and the direction of the case. During the final hearing Mr. Dorsey was very thorough, firm, and fully prepared. His cross examination skills, rebuttals, presentation, and delivery was superb. As a result, I was grant 75% percent of time sharing. I have never felt better and once again I was stress free. Mr. Dorsey is Very professional and has many years of experience with a great rapport with the judges, prosecutors and other attorneys. He’s very firm, straightforward, and passionate about his work and clients. He is well known and well respected amongst his peers. His resume speaks for itself. A big shout out to The Dorsey team. Susan and Heather. They are very hard working, detail oriented, & very professional. They truly care about people. Stop shopping for attorneys based on price. Mr. Dorsey is the Best Bang for The Buck. He is my guy!!!!!!

When you have to fight for a child a great attorney is all you need. I was so fortunate to find Raymond Mitchell. I had brought him a case that I thought would be impossible and he struggled and made it into strength. If your looking for a good attorney I hope you find one, but if you want an honest, reliable, know it all, exceptional attorney I would recommend attorney Mitchell. He is by far the best when your back is against the wall!

Divorce is clearly a journey that I never thought I would end up on. At first, I was clearly in shock, and in desperate need of a guide and someone to support me on this journey. Katie, and the entire firm of Hertz Sager, were supportive, empathetic, and collaborative in the entire process.

Katie Sager was absolutely fantastic handling my case. I hired Hertz/Sager to take over my prior counsel. Katie was outstanding and professional from start to finish. Katie took the time to truly understand my case and every nuance around my situation (always taking the extra step in diligence). Additionally, she was always clear explaining every aspect of the process and creative around strategic solutions. Her support and depth of knowledge prepared me for every possible scenario. While I felt extremely comfortable and confident knowing I was very protected, I was incredibly appreciative of the humane/respectful nature, while maintain firm positions on our side. While going through depositions, there is no better counsel I could ask for. I would highly recommend Katie and her results-driven firm to anyone looking for a genuine and knowledgeable team.

I hired attorney Sager to handle my divorce. She was successful getting the judge to agree to the prenuptial agreement and to prevent having to disclose finances which were not included in the prenup. She carefully worded the marital agreement that my ex wife and I finally signed. The whole process took only a few months.

She not only navigated the complexities of my case with ease but also ensured I was well-informed and comfortable with all decisions. Her team was consistently empathetic, responsive, and thorough, making a typically stressful process as smooth as possible. Communication was clear and timely, and the atmosphere was always respectful and understanding. They truly prioritized my well-being and the best interests of my family, for which I am deeply grateful.

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!

Syed, (and legal team member Brandy), are the upper echelon of family law representation. Once I told Syed my situation regarding my divorce he immediately had my mind at ease. EVERYTHING he told me was exactly what took place all the way through the final hearing. He is articulated, composed, and friendly. No gray areas, no surprises, and only positive outcomes. Whenever I called the office, (a lot), someone always answered my call. If I ever had a question I always received answers in a timely fashion. I had absolutely ZERO issues. I would say most family lawyers are like Kirkland brand chocolate; good but you know there’s better. If you want Godiva level quality, you go to Syed.

Syed Ahmed, is and will always be, a master at what he does - a grandmaster - at this game called family law. He won my case with ease. The process was long due to opposing counsel; yet, he knew every critical move to make and offered unparalleled guidance along the way. He brings with him unique experience - years of prosecution and years of family law and leverages both for your benefit. There isn’t anything that surprises him or intimidates him. He is masterful, intellectual, determined, resolute, confident, aggressive, fair, emotionally intelligent and above all, a good person who does what’s right by his clients. He is now a friend for life and an attorney that I, without question, endorse for any family member, friend, colleague and you seeking help. You must hire him if you need a true advocate and to win the game.

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

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

I have had the displeasure of other attorneys in the past that talk the talk but can't produce. So, believe me I know the difference. Mark is the most knowledgeable , fairest, most caring , reasonable and attentive, and gets the job done with no over billing or B.S.. Mark's respect for the court is reciprocal. His petitions are precise and realistic with common sense, he has a way of demonstrating logic to his clients and especially to the court which is most important. I highly recommend Mark Abzug if your goal is peace of mind. His integrity is irreproachable.

Michael Dyer was one of the first calls I made during an extremely difficult period of my life. I had zero knowledge about separation and divorce. All I knew was I needed it done and with guidance. My very first call with him he gave me an explanation with great detail about what it would entail and the proper steps to take in order to proceed with my divorce. He made sure I felt comfortable and that my needs were met as well as making sure I had everything to gain and wasn’t being taken advantage of from my ex partner. Mike doesn’t only exceed his expectations as a lawyer but made me feel safe as for someone like myself with emotional and learning disabilities. I appreciated his willingness to be patient with me. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer to represent them including friends, family, peers.

I'm new to writing online reviews, nonetheless I hope anyone looking to retain Mr. Dyer will read this post. For the last 12 years, I have been dealing with lawyers, both professionally and in my personal life, unfortunately. I trust Mr. Dyer and his firm like I trust my family. Anytime I had an issue pop up throughout the duration of my cases, they were quick to come to bat for me and they always produced the best result. It didn't take long for me to learn they take pride and care in all cases, large or small, high-profile or just your average person. After witnessing Mr. Dyer fiercely battle for my children, I was not surprised when I later learned he too was a parent. This gentleman treats his clients like they're family, and he fights for them like they're family. Additionally, he has taken the expert knowledge of the field and communication capability to a level of perfection - this was particularly helpful for me as our court systems legal lingo can most times be difficult to follow. It's truly remarkable to witness him manipulate the law so exquisitely and brilliantly. I am very happy with my results with Mr. Dyer and his firm, and I am grateful for their loyalty and compassion in my family's darkest time of need. I will indubitably proceed to retain Mr. Dyer in future cases, but for now will enjoy the peacefulness that his hard work and dedication recently awarded my children and I. Hats off to you, Mike!

I hired Mr. Gautier at the beginning of a very difficult family case, he was highly recommended by another attorney and he didn’t disappoint. From his staff at the office, very professional and empathetic, to Mr. Gautier itself, it is a service I would recommend to anyone in need of legal representation. Mr. Gautier is detailed when organizing the case and gathering data, is excellent when developing a strategy to bring success to the case. Another aspect I would like to point out is the he takes the time to not only be prepared to defend the case in court, but he also takes the time to prepare you. For some of us, this is a highly sensitive, heartbreaking time and it can be extremely stressful, Mr. Gautier takes all the time to explain the different scenarios that may arise in court, he answers all your questions and makes sure you are as prepared as you can be to go through it. At the beginning of the case he told me he could not promise anything but he would promise me this “ that he would fight for my case with everything he got” and I can truly say he did that. I had extremely successful results, I obtained more than I asked! I can say with no doubt that if you are looking for a family attorney, Mr. Gautier is your best choice.

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.
