Wish I had used Anita when I first filed for divorce. She has now corrected the areas that were left open by a previous attorney that caused issues not setting clear, outlined specifics that put me back in court. She is like a surgeon knowing what needs to get cut and what needs to be modified all in good health. Smart, kind, is clear about expectations and looking at long term priorities for the parent and the child. Anita helped me to forecast what we needed at the moment then 5yrs, 10yrs down the road. Anita was my saving grace!! Thank you ANITA!!!

Anita represented me in my divorce case and I am so grateful I had her on my side. While divorces are intimidating and never easy she made me feel like she genuinely cared about my situation AND had my best interests at heart. She doesn’t sugar coat anything which is exactly what I wanted and clearly needed. Her knowledge of family law is impeccable and she is extremely thorough in representing her cases. We remain in contact so much so that she even helped in my decision making process of purchasing a car and even contacted a car dealer on my behalf making sure they offered me the best deal ! “Above and beyond” is the words that come to mind when I think of Anita.

I cannot recommend Henrickson & Sereebutra highly enough! From start to finish, their professionalism, expertise, and dedication were outstanding. They took the time to understand my case, kept me informed every step of the way, and fought tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome. Their legal knowledge and courtroom skills are truly top-notch. If you need a trustworthy and highly skilled legal team, this is the firm to call. Five stars all the way! THANKS Theo and the team

Filing for divorce is a daunting and intimidating process, especially if it’s your first time. You just don’t know what to expect. My 1st and hopefully only time down this divorce path, I found Marc Robinson at Henrickson & Sereebutra, and I thank God that I did. After going through this journey, I’ve learned that no two divorces are the same. I had no idea, due to all the complications surrounding my case, that it would take 2.5 years to cross the finish line. But every step of the way, Marc was right there with me, ensuring I remained in the best possible position to achieve the best outcome. And achieving the best outcome is exactly what happened in the end. Marc helped me overcome all the odds and achieve what many would consider unthinkable for a father pursuing primary custody of his children. He took swift action whenever the need arose and made sure no stone was left unturned or detail overlooked. When you begin this process, you’re looking for someone who is fair, someone who cares as much as you do, and someone who will fight as hard as you would if you were the lawyer. That’s exactly what I found in Marc. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer. Thank you, Marc.

I was incredibly grateful to meet Craig. He was referred to me through a colleague at a very challenging point in my life. Deciding to file personal bankruptcy is heartbreaking. But Craig showed great compassion and understanding for my situation. He supported me every step of the way by explaining the process, and was very accommodating with his fees and payment structure. While I hope no one ever has to go through bankruptcy filing, but if that time ever comes, I have 100% trust and confidence in Craig’s expertise and professionalism. He was always incredibly prompt in responding to my calls or texts. I always felt he had my back. Filing for bankruptcy tends to do a number on your self esteem. But I never felt judged by Craig througout the entire process. The main thing he contiually communicated was not to worry, things would be fine, and we would get all of my financial challenges worked out. Craig delivered on every promise he made and went out of his way to make a challenging situation so much easier at every step. Thank you, Craig. You are a super guy and a stellar attorney.

What I thought would be a relatively easy go with my now ex-wife turned into a protracted battle of everything. What should have been simple became contested. Thank goodness I decided to go with Emily Yu. She is the best. If you need an attorney that is laser focused on your needs and desires and doesn't push you in the direction they want, Emily is for you. She is compassionate, articulate and is not afraid to go toe to toe with anyone. I loved how quickly she responded to my questions either in email or on the phone. I especially loved how I never felt like she was over billing me. There is no other attorney I could recommend for a contested divorce. It's a guarantee that you spouse will not enjoy going up against her and opposing council will know they are in for a scrum. Emily is worth every one of your hard earned pennies.

She was kind, patient and caring while at the same time she stayed professional and truly had my best interest at heart. She was very easy to talk with and answered all of my questions and concerns with genuine compassion. I knew she was the attorney I wanted from our initial conversation. She made a very scary time in my life go by a lot smother and I can't put into words how thankful I am for her.

I had worked with an attorney in the past that took nearly 2 years to do what Kayla accomplished in just a handful of months. At each step there was excellent communication, and I was never left feeling confused or unsure. Overall, I had a fantastic experience with this firm, but especially with Kayla. If I am ever in need of an attorney again, I would absolutely hire her. Thanks so much!

I had a very complex divorce case that was a complete mess. All of the people I worked with were amazing! Kayla Upchurch saved the day when a scheduling conflict arose with my lawyer just two weeks before my court date. In that short amount of time she was able to compile almost two years worth of documentation and have it ready for our court date. With her feisty personality (a good character trait in my opinion), great interviewing skills, and dedication we were able to win our case.

When I first contacted Laura to have a consultation prior to the upcoming hearing I was extremely uneasy and filled with emotions. Her knowledge and compassion for my situation was extremely settling. She brought me calm through the chaos that I felt was my life. Her eagerness and willingness to not only represent me but hear me out was just what I needed. She was a confidant for me when I needed it the most. After speaking with her I knew she was the attorney for me in my time of need. Through the entire length of my case, she answered every question I had. Her hard work and determination proved true throughout my case. Laura is tactful, empathetic, brilliant, patient, and charismatic. If you are in search of an attorney, I would highly recommend her.

Exceptional Divorce Attorney – A Fierce Advocate for Justice Going through a highly contested divorce is one of the most difficult experiences a person can endure, and having the right attorney makes all the difference. After a traumatic experience with my first attorney—who was ultimately fired from her firm—I knew I needed someone aggressive, strategic, and unshakable in the courtroom. After extensive research, I found Candice Davis, and hiring her was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My divorce was contentious, with an ex-wife who demanded everything and refused to compromise, and an opposing attorney who was more of a ruthless bully than a professional. I needed someone who could not only defend me but turn the tide in my favor—and Candice did exactly that. From day one, she was laser-focused, well-prepared, and fearless. In court, she absolutely devastated my ex-wife on the stand and completely unraveled the opposing attorney’s aggressive tactics. He was so off balance that he resorted to making nonsensical statements while I was testifying. Candice’s sharp legal mind, commanding presence, and ability to expose contradictions turned the case in my favor. The final hearing’s outcome was extremely favorable, and I owe it entirely to Candice’s skill, preparation, and tenacity. She took what felt like an impossible situation and delivered justice and peace of mind. If you need an attorney who will fight relentlessly for you, outmaneuver the opposition, and secure the best possible outcome, look no further than Candice Davis. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

I NEVER had a problem getting him or anyone on the phone or an email response. Mind you I had given up because my case was turnt down by multiple lawyers. But Adam took the case and we won and I can’t thank him enough for everything. He absolutely deserves a 5 out of 5.

The final hearing’s outcome was extremely favorable, and I owe it entirely to Candice’s skill, preparation, and tenacity. She took what felt like an impossible situation and delivered justice and peace of mind. If you need an attorney who will fight relentlessly for you, outmaneuver the opposition, and secure the best possible outcome, look no further than Candice Davis. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

I have been working with my divorce attorney, Samantha Lennon, and her paralegal, Hannah, since April 2023. Throughout my experience with the Lennon, Giovinazzo, Steele Family Law firm, I have been consistently impressed with their professionalism, dedication, and expertise. Samantha not only handled my divorce proceedings with great care and attention to detail, but she also represented me in a successful contempt of court case against my ex-husband. Her knowledge of family law and her strategic approach were instrumental in achieving favorable outcomes in both matters. Hannah, her paralegal, has been an invaluable asset as well. She is always prompt and meticulous in her work, providing thorough support and clear communication at every stage. The entire team at Lennon, Giovinazzo, Steele Family Law firm made a challenging and emotional time in my life much more manageable with their compassionate and skillful approach. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a family law attorney. Thank you, Samantha and Hannah, for your unwavering support and dedication. Your hard work has truly made a positive impact on my life.

After having a very bad and disappointing experience with a previous law firm who claimed to have my interest in mind, I can say I found THE RIGHT ONE in Rafi Law Firm. They showed great compassion, attention to detail, and I felt as if they had MY best interest in the process. They are detailed oriented and follow up promptly to all questions. Super professional job!! I couldn't be happier with the service provided. If you're in need of great representation, do not hesitate to use this Law Firm. They will treat you the best.

I absolutely MUST take the time to express my deep gratitude for the amazing services that were rendered by Attorney Lennon and her incredible paralegal Hannah Garcia. I filed for divorce from my husband in August 2023 and I hired counsel in July 2023 to guide me through this process. I was so unhappy with the initial counsel I hired and truly felt like I was being forced to settle for terms that I was uncomfortable with and not being advocated for, which was both really scary and disheartening. After about a year of being with previous counsel, I started searching for another attorney to help move my divorce proceedings along and to get the advocacy that I truly needed. From the date of securing Attorney Lennon as my counsel, she immediately began working on my case and swiftly moved my divorce forward, arranging mediation with a wonderful mediator. She consistently advocated fiercely for me and my daughter, which was so helpful and needed. As of this week, we've reached a settlement that I completely satisfied with. Within two months of hire, Attorney Lennon has turned my entire case around. Her and Ms. Garcia, her paralegal, are incredibly responsive and thoroughly answered all of my questions throughout my time as their client. If you are looking for a sharp team to both support and advocate for you during the scary time of going through a divorce, I implore you to PLEASE give this firm a call! Attorney Lennon and Ms. Garcia, I truly appreciate you both for everything you did for my family!

Exceptional Divorce Attorney – A Fierce Advocate for Justice Going through a highly contested divorce is one of the most difficult experiences a person can endure, and having the right attorney makes all the difference. After a traumatic experience with my first attorney—who was ultimately fired from her firm—I knew I needed someone aggressive, strategic, and unshakable in the courtroom. After extensive research, I found Candice Davis, and hiring her was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My divorce was contentious, with an ex-wife who demanded everything and refused to compromise, and an opposing attorney who was more of a ruthless bully than a professional. I needed someone who could not only defend me but turn the tide in my favor—and Candice did exactly that. From day one, she was laser-focused, well-prepared, and fearless. In court, she absolutely devastated my ex-wife on the stand and completely unraveled the opposing attorney’s aggressive tactics. He was so off balance that he resorted to making nonsensical statements while I was testifying. Candice’s sharp legal mind, commanding presence, and ability to expose contradictions turned the case in my favor. The final hearing’s outcome was extremely favorable, and I owe it entirely to Candice’s skill, preparation, and tenacity. She took what felt like an impossible situation and delivered justice and peace of mind. If you need an attorney who will fight relentlessly for you, outmaneuver the opposition, and secure the best possible outcome, look no further than Candice Davis. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

In both cases, her dedication, experience, and knowledge of the law allowed me to achieve an outcome that was in my best interests.

He gave me great advise and was always very responsive (I mean the guy would respond to my emails late into the evening and on weekends which always helped with my anxiety). I could tell our guardian ad litem and the other lawyer in the case respected him a lot and we were able to mediate and get the case resolved with an outcome I am very pleased with. Thanks David!

Schneider Williamson law firm is the best people to go to if you have a personal injury case. They were great at handling all that was involved in my case. Attorney Campbell Williamson came to me and was very professional, caring and made me feel at ease on all matters. I am so thankful for all his help and the handling of my case. Senior Litigation Paralegal, Beth Tyson was immensely helpful and there if I needed anything. No one could've been as kind and helpful as she was. She answered all my questions, kept me updated and was very personable. Each time I spoke to Evelyn Graham, she was very professional and caring and there to help in all matters. Each person in the firm that was a part if my case was extremely kind and helpful. The case took a lil longer than I thought it would, mostly because I had no clue as to the process it took to get things done. They got me a sucessful settlement and it was well worth the wait. They were great in every way. Couldn't have had anyone any better than this firm. Thank you so much, Schneider & Williamson firm! You are the best at getting what the client deserves!

Balean and Kristy kept me sane during the hardest year of my life and I am forever grateful. I was too nervous to reach out to a divorce lawyer even though it was well past time, so a friend of mine who is a lawyer in another area talked me into it and recommended these two personally. I can't say enough good things so I'll try and break it down into the things that are/were important to me in a divorce. They are NOT pushy. I was so nervous the first call, I did not want to get a divorce. I even (politely) told them I hope we don't ever need to talk again. They were extremely supportive. Not one single time did either of them push me towards a divorce. They answered all my questions honestly and thoughtfully and I never felt rushed. On the flip side of that, they are also very cognizant that their time is expensive. So for me, it is very hard to find a lawyer who is constantly aware of running up your tab, but personable enough to trust them and not feel like just another check in the spreadsheet. On top of that, I have ADHD so I can get off on a tangent with the best of them. Both Kristy and Balean we're very good at redirecting me into the areas that mattered and pushing me though the areas that didn't without letting me get hung up on them. They are extremely prompt (during business hours, I cant speak to otherwise because I don't expect people to work 24/7), I don't think I ever waited a full day for a reply. You WILL feel like a priority. Which frankly with how being a lawyer works, is pretty remarkable. They know their stuff. I don't know a better way to put that. And if they don't know, they make it a priority to find out. I had a few odd snafus with property issues and a few (lets say less than reasonable) demands from my now ex, and if I had a question they tracked it down if they weren't already sure. They are generally fun and calming presences. Mediation went for a full day, so Balean was trapped in a room with me for probably 12 straight hours. And if you aren't aware (i certainly wasn't), mediation is very much hurry up and wait. When we had the mediator, it was 100% business. When she was in the other room, we walked through everything we needed to discuss, got advice, and then were able to relax and recharge a bit before the next turn. As you can imagine, its an emotional time. I went from needing to pace the hallways angry to bouncing off the walls bored to everything in between and not once did Balean get even slightly irritated with me. They are VERY aware that you're going though something and that while we need to be efficient there also needs to be room for you to be a person with feelings and needs. So if you don't read all of that, the important bits are they are going to make you a priority and you'll feel like it, they will not run up your bill for no reason and will be honest when they think something may do so, they give you grace to be going though something hard, while also getting you though it in a prompt and efficient and competent manner. I absolutely would not even consider another legal team if these guys are available. I can't speak highly enough of this firm.

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.
