Words cannot fully express my gratitude for Michael Flaxman and his flawless, impeccable work.
Nearly ten years after my divorce, he came into my very complicated child custody case and immediately went to work understanding the intricacies that previously led to me obtaining primary custody. He validated my immediate concerns, and he worked tirelessly with a laser focus on my kids best interests. Ultimately, he settled our case one month prior to trial, and in a way that gives me peace of mind for my kids and their future. In fact, the settlement turned out to be better than I ever imagined it could be and I credit that solely to Michael Flaxman.
Throughout the course of litigation, his communication in court and with opposing counsel was articulate, compelling, and charismatic. It was obvious that Michael Flaxman truly cared about our case. All of his professional correspondences clearly reflected that, and ultimately led us to a court settlement that was prompt and exceeded all of my expectations.
Michael Flaxman was exceptionally responsive to all of my calls, texts, and emails, even during evenings and weekends. He was dedicated to guiding me through the numerous and complex correspondences from my ex. He contextualized high-level emotions and educated me on my legal rights in each scenario. This empowered me to find my voice, rebuild boundaries, and enforce court orders effectively.
When it came time to draft our settlement agreement, he considered every possible situation and ensured that each was thoroughly addressed. Michael Flaxman is incredibly organized, and his writing style is clear, concise, and professional. He made sure I understood all legal terms completely and that all of my questions and concerns were answered. With the complexities of our case, I really appreciated the time and attention he gave to wrapping up our case with precision.
His professional and personal commitment to guiding me through such a challenging situation helped me feel exceptionally well-represented, reminded me to trust the legal process, and gave me hope for my kid’s future. Michael Flaxman truly is the best of the best, and I am genuinely grateful to have found him when I did.

I reached out to several employment attorneys and found that many of them only asked me basic questions during our phone conversations. However, Davis Amberlea stood out by offering me an in-person consultation where they thoroughly reviewed all of my paperwork. Not only did they spend an hour with me, but Davis Amberlea also provided valuable advice on my case. Their friendly and informative service exceeded my expectations. Needless to say, I am extremely satisfied with their exceptional assistance.

He’s helped me at my most venerable state and fought for in every way possible. He’s an attorney that truly cares for his clients and advocates what’s best for the child.

Peter James esq. has been my armor and shield against my narcissistic Borderline personality ex-wife saying anything she thinks might sway the judge including (I kid you not) that I treat our daughter like "a modern-day Cinderella" in her actual motion! Peter often cited cases of precedence from memory during consultation and always included these in his written and verbal arguments. He did not waste time with hearsay and stuck to referencing actual requisites of family law for the judge to weigh against whatever false or twisted half truth that (sadly in Nevada) must be taken as true unless evidence to the contrary is provided. Peter is the only reason I have maintained primary custody of my kids and I am so grateful.

McAvoy Amaya & Revero , Attorney's at law are an awesome law firm that went far above and beyond my expectations. I am 65yrs old and I have have had many attorneys take advantage of me and were very dishonest and hard to reach when ever I needed to talk to them.
Attorney Tim Revero was referred to me by another satisfied client and personal friend after being fired by Shook and Stone law because the man that hit me lied and denied hitting to them and his insurance company and their was no witnesses. That didn't stop attorney Tim Revero from fighting for me and my family and also getting me the best doctors and medical treatment to not only get me a very large settlement but my health was also restored so that I can enjoy a sizeable amount of money in good health.
If your looking for a honest and very skilled personal injury law firm contact Tim Revero partner of McAvoy Amaya & Revero.

I couldn’t be happier with our team at Sgro and Roger. They handled our personal injury case with such professionalism and were extremely empathetic and sensitive throughout. I knew our entire team had our best interest at heart and they were 100% in our corner. More specifically, Racheal Ross. She is an absolute boss. She is super knowledgeable, timely, and communicative. She handled everything with such confidence. I honestly can’t thank her enough for the work she put in for us, even on weekends, holidays, and late at night. She really went the extra mile. Thank you to Tony, Racheal, and the rest of the staff at Sgro and Roger! 10/10 would recommend this office to anyone looking for the best and most honest lawyers out there.

A divorce judgement that needed to be moved to Nevada, alimony in arrears and current alimony all had to be resolved. I could not have asked for a better firm than what I found at Christopher Tilman's office. The interactions I had with Kathy and Paulina were excellent and calming. This was a stressful situation for me and I always got an answer, either by phone or email. My interactions with Christopher were illuminating and honest. I never felt ignored. I got a bill every month with fees used out of my retainer, which had all been spelled out during my first consultation. I would hire the firm again in a heartbeat.

I was told by several lawyers, both in Jamaica and in the U.S., that I could not get divorced in the U.S. because I married a Jamaican National in Jamaica. Tell it to Chris. He had me divorced less than 2 months. Talking about quick service. Not too expensive either. Go Chris.

I cannot recommend Ms. Cohen and her team highly enough as a woman filing for divorce. Ms. Cohen and Ms. Kiya Jack were fantastic every step of the way and made a painful time in my life significantly easier with their expertise, knowledge and guidance. Rates and billing were straightforward and very reasonable for the service I received. I would absolutely choose them again if I had to do it all over.

I retained McFarling Law and attorney Lesley Cohen for a recent child custody case. The matter was complex and required strong representation. I met with her and one other firm for a consultation, and I immediately decided to retain her services.
She was very knowledgeable, direct and did a great job explaining each stage of my case. The support staff is extremely helpful, and all communication and documentation are streamlined via an online case portal limiting the need for phone calls and meetings.
I will retain them again if I ever need a family lawyer in the future and recommend the McFarling team and Lesley Cohen to anyone in need of representation for their parental rights.

Michele LoBello (and her entire team) are incredible. I first started working with her in 2020 during a stressful divorce and unique custody dispute. She treats clients with the utmost care, concern and compassion. Her and her team always have you and your children’s best interest at heart. She helped my entire family navigate an extremely difficult time and went above and beyond. This led to settling the divorce in a much faster timeframe than originally anticipated. I will forever be grateful for her knowledge and expertise!!

Not professional at all. She asked for non-refundable fees for a matter that has been canceled before she even started to work on the contract draft she was supposed to review, but never accepted to refund us. Also, she replied to our email weeks after, when she was even replying. I thought lawyer were trustable, but they can also be true scammers.

Robert Morris is amazing. He listens to what you're saying and with his expertise in estate planning, he can create a plan that works seamlessly with your goals. At times, this kind of planning can be a bit nerve wracking, and he has a great sense of when well-placed humor is needed!!! He will meet with you in person when/where it's convenient for your busy schedule. We feel blessed to have Robert Morris and GMD in our corner.

I’m so glad I hired Michael to handle my family court issues. I’ve worked with other attorneys in the past, but they were easily swayed, disorganized and often lacked the tenacity I needed. Michael was different and straightforward, very confident, well organized and never intimidated by the opposing party. Communication was extremely easy. His assistant Tricia was extremely insightful and organized as well. He turned what seemed like a complicated and stressful situation into a smooth and manageable process. I couldn’t be happier with his dedication and the outcome of my case.

I had been thoroughly deceived by a shady group that took $63,000 from me in exchange for an "investment" that promised high returns. When that never materialized, I realized I had been scammed. No one else was willing to help me get my money back, as they all said that it was nearly impossible to hold scammers accountable. I contacted Andrew Dunning at LBC Law Group, and he was quick to respond and set up an initial call with me. His warm and non-judgemental attitude toward me and the situation I was in instantly raised my spirits, and he gave me hope that we had a strong case against them and would do everything he could to get my money back. True to his word, Andrew immediately gathered my evidence and got the case going. He even gave me a reduced hourly rate as he knew I was already in dire financial straights and couldn't afford much more. Amazingly, the scammers agreed to our demand request and eventually returned ALL my money. To say that I was stunned, relieved, and ecstatic about the outcome would be an understatement. I simply can't recommend LBC Law Group and Andrew Dunning more highly. Incredibly professional, kind, and hard-working, he literally saved me and my family's financial life. This scam would have completely ruined us but now we have been given a second chance due to Andrew's tenacious help.

LBC Law Group was the most helpful after my car was hit at a stoplight. Not ever having been in this situation before and needing some guidance, LBC Law Group, with their compassion and professionalism, took the lead. With constant communication and accessibility, I did not have to worry about the process as I knew my case was in great hands. Christopher and the rest of the LBC Team was exceptional and kind. If you’re needing guidance and help from a law firm, I would recommend LBC Law Group over and over again.

The Kainen Law Group are the top family law specialists in Las Vegas. I contacted three separate lawyers I have worked with asking for their recommendation on the best divorce attorney in Las Vegas, and all three recommended The Kainen Law Group.
They are not only excellent at what they do, but they also always act with your best interests in mind. If they do not believe that they can provide value given your specific circumstances then they will tell you that rather than wasting your money.
Their responsiveness and communication are top notch! Their reputation is top notch! Their ability to represent you and resolve your family dispute is top notch!
As mentioned in a few other reviews, they are definitely not a discount law firm, but you get what you pay for and they will not disappoint.
There is a certain comfort that comes with knowing that the opposing council knows exactly who your lawyer is, and what they are capable of. It sets the tone for all future interactions, and in my experience made opposing council much more reasonable.
Divorce and the impact it has on a family is never an easy process, so do yourself a favor and retain the best family law firm in Las Vegas, The Kainen Law Group!
Thank you all for everything!!

I cannot recommend Ashlee Vasquez, Avea and Kim highly enough! From the very first meeting, Ashlee truly listened to my goals and took them seriously. I went into this process hoping for an outcome that was as amicable as possible, and Ashlee made it clear that she respected and supported thatapproach. She worked hard to educate me on my legal rights, making sure I fully understood all of my options without ever pushing me to engage in unnecessary conflict or take a more aggressive route than I was comfortable with.
Ashlee and Avea were both incredibly accommodating and thoughtful throughout the entire process. They took the time to consider every variable that could affect my case, whether it was my personal priorities, the unique dynamics of my situation, or the practical implications of different legal strategies. Their attention to detail was unmatched, and it was clear they genuinely cared about helping me find a solution that worked for me and my family.
What really stood out to me was how much time Ashlee spent listening to me. She made me feel heard and valued, which is something that can be so rare in these situations. She didn’t just offer a one-size-fits-all solution—she collaborated with me to create a plan that I felt confident and comfortable with, all while keeping my long-term goals and values in mind. Her approach was always calm, professional, and compassionate, which helped me stay grounded during what could have been a very stressful process.
Avea was equally incredible. She was organized, responsive, and always made me feel like my case was a priority. Together, Ashlee and Avea were an amazing team who gave me not just legal support but also peace of mind. They went above and beyond to make sure I was informed, prepared, and confident at every step of the way.
If you’re looking for a legal team that combines expertise, empathy, and a commitment to helping you achieve YOUR goals—not theirs—look no further. Ashlee and Avea are everything you could want in an attorney and law clerk. Thank you both so much for your exceptional work and dedication. You truly made an incredibly challenging time in my life so much easier to navigate.

Sue and Ashlee always communicated rapidly through MyCase and allowed me to see case updates on my phone almost instantaneously. Lots of documents were easily E-signed and the costs were not crazy! She's worth every penny! If I ever need help again, I will definitely reach out again.

I was referred to Lianna Urfalyan, and while you never want to be in a situation where you need an attorney for custody-related issues, I was so grateful to have her and Mark DiCiero as partners during this challenging time. The entire team is professional, information is shared promptly, and you never have to guess where things stand. They're thorough, strong without being bullish, well-informed, and walking into court with Lianna by my side made me feel confident and secure with the position I was in. Everything turned out for the best, thank goodness, because of her experience and professional insight. Without a doubt, if an issue arises in the future (hopefully not), I will not hesitate to call Lianna or refer her to others needing an attorney. You don't have to do any of this alone, and if you're able to have an attorney represent your best interest, I truly and highly recommend Lianna Urfalyan.

Marshall Willick represented me in my child custody case. And he did an incredible job I seriously could not ask for a better lawyer. I had a huge hiccup with my previous one, and let's just say they really dropped the ball. I was actually refereed to Willicks office from my aunt that lives in Chicago from her lawyer. I had a consultation with them and I already felt 100xs better just by explaining my situation. If you want a lawyer that will definitely have your back and is willingbto bat for you Willick is the way! I could not be more pleased on how the outcome came out! Thank you again to all Willick and employees.

Marshal Willick, wow…just so amazing! I don’t know 5 stars can cut it on my feelings for how well I feel Marshal handled my case. He exceeded my expectations!
I highly recommend Marshal and all the legal staff at the Willick Law Group. I hired them to assist me in a complicated family matter and they were simply amazing in their handling of my case. The paralegals are so knowledgeable too and the team approach they utilized was paramount in the success of my case. I wish, I had hired them to handle my legal case initially, as I feel so doing, I would have likely saved money. They will use their expertise to help the courts see the truth from the get-go, which is so important-so your ex can not use the courts to create legal issues that cost you dearly financially years after the fact. The latter is so important when leaving a toxic situation, in hopes of the start of a new life.
Further, I found the Willick Firm to be very compassionate. I felt they cared about my case and they were very mindful of their billing, without compromising quality. I only began to sleep well, once they took over and I knew my case was in the hands of some of the best legal minds in the country. I highly recommend Marshal and the Willick Firm.

I am an immigration attorney in Sacramento, California and needed a legal opinion letter from an attorney in Nevada specializing in family law. The issues were very complex and Marshal provided excellent service and work product. We had a short deadline, and Marshal worked on the weekend to get the opinion letter completed. He even went above and beyond and completed additional research outside the scope of services in order to help my client. I was very impressed working with Marshal and his staff and highly recommend their office.

I interned at Barnes Law Group when I thought that I wanted to be a Family Law attorney. While interning at the office I got to witness firsthand the internal workings, their services, and their staff. I can tell you that this staff puts a tremendous amount of work, attention, and strategy behind everything they do. Communications about clients’ cases, the weaknesses and how to better posture the case occupied most of the internal conversations amongst the people working there. This law office is extremely customer service oriented. During my tenure, I witnessed them win every case. It really was amazing. But I also saw the amount of work it took, the frequency with which the attorneys prioritized their clients over their personal life and the strain of representing people who are in personal crisis. I ultimately decided that I wanted a better work life balance. Whenever anyone needs a Family Lawyer, I recommend Barnes Law Group, they are great people. I know from working there that they are honest, smart, and devoted to achieving their clients’ goals. They are also down to earth and easy to talk to. Everyone I ever recommended there has thanked me for doing so.

A woman I hadn't seen in years tried to collect child support monies from me for a kid that wasn't mine. I hadn't spoken to the woman in years. My girlfriend said I urgently needed an attorney. I contacted Attorney Barnes who explained how my wages could be garnished and I could even be put in jail for nonpayment of child support if I don't dna test and prove I am not the father. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, but after she showed me the law, I took the test and proved I wasn't the father. I'm glad I followed Attorney Barnes advice and left crazy in the rear view mirror. Highly recommend this attorney and firm.

I could not be happier with the service I received from Attorney Carol Barnes and Barnes Law Group. Everyone at Barnes Law Group was able to answer my questions when I called. When I sent an email, I always received an answer on the same day and most emails were answered within the hour. When I first spoke with Attorney Barnes, she outlined a strategy for handling my case. My case was handled successfully, and as Attorney Barnes had originally discussed. I received a bill each month for the work that was done on my case and the bills reflected the strategy originally agreed to. Ultimately, Attorney Barnes was able to settle the case without us having to go to trial. While I was relieved that we did not go to trial, I am confident that we would have won if we did. I was very scared when I first retained Barnes Law Group. What I appreciated most was Attorney Barnes laid out the strategy and the law for me in writing at the very beginning so I could look at it whenever I became anxious and was able to relax and know that the facts and the law were on my side. I recommend Barnes Law Group to all the moms out there who need a competent and aggressive attorney.

I found Alyssa here through Avvo. I sent multiple personal and detailed messages regarding my horrific family law matter. Alyssa sent me a message very quickly and answered all of my concerns in an honest and caring fashion. I retained Alyssa after working with two previous attorneys and with the need of her representation for my court date which was only four weeks away. Alyssa accomplished more in four weeks to help me than my other two attorneys did in two years!
Alyssa is very honest and tells you the good, the bad and the ugly which I love and appreciate. She goes above and beyond to answer the tremendous amount of emails I send her.
We ended up getting everything I wanted during our hearing. She literally blew me away while I’m court and when it comes to a horrific custody battle, she truly put my children’s needs and my desires front and center and fought for my family in the most impressive and short amount of time.
I’m LAS Vegas, there isn’t another family law attorney that can hold a candle to Alyssa. If you are in a position where you ever need a family law attorney, contact Alyssa today! You will truly have your family in the hands of an angel!
Thank you for everything, Alyssa. Words will never be able to express my gratitude to you in words!

John took our case midway through the process. He was very honest about the possible outcome based on the information he had during our consult, no sugar coating at all! Our case was very complex and difficult but he was able to turn it around and we had a very favorable outcome! John was very IMPRESSIVE during trial! He came prepared and ready for a rebuttal. John pays attention to detail and does not waste time. Price wise - ABSOLUTELY REASONABLE! John and his entire staff are very professional and responsive, late nights, weekends, it didn't matter. They respond within a few minutes. JOHN KELLEHER IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST! THANK YOU, JOHN AND STAFF, FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!

I can describe how thankful I am to have met Kari Hanratty and her team. Amazing. Simply put; amazing. I was desperate for help with an insanely difficult complicated custody case where the children were being hurt, and she was my life saver. She took my not o lot as a client, but under her wing. She worked my case entirely pro bono, nights after hours, weekends. She was there for me through everything, and got my children safe. Kari and her law firm all pitched in as a team. They don’t just do this as a job. They truly care. Amazing. Thank you a million times. Thank you.

Hanratty Law Group is by far one of the best Law Firms. My family would not be complete if it wasn't for Kari and her staff! They go above and beyond to get the job done. They communicate very well. I highly recommend this firm to anyone who has a family law issue. Again, our family would not be complete if it was not for this firm! They did an amazing job and are very affordable too!

Because of Kari's dedication and passion for the truth and genuine concern for children, my case that involves an abusive and manipulating ex, the truth has always prevailed. My children have remained safe and secure with me and without Kari and her amazing assistant KC, I am not confident my situation would have turned out so favorably. Kari is very loyal and has worked throughout several years fighting for me and my children. I will forever be grateful for everything that she has done for me and for continually fighting for the best interest of my children.

What a Child Custody Lawyer Can Do for You
A child custody lawyer specializes in helping parents navigate legal matters related to the custody and care of their children, particularly in the context of divorce, separation, or other family disputes. These lawyers assist with determining custody arrangements, drafting parenting plans, and advocating for your rights in court. They also help resolve disputes over physical custody (where the child lives), legal custody (who makes decisions for the child), visitation rights, and modifications to existing custody orders.
Whether you're going through a divorce or need to change an existing custody arrangement, a child custody lawyer can help you understand your rights and protect your child's best interests throughout the legal process.
When Should I Hire a Child Custody Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a child custody lawyer in several situations, especially when disputes arise or complex legal issues affect your parental rights. Some common reasons to hire a child custody lawyer include:
- Divorce or separation: If you're going through a divorce or separation and need to establish custody and visitation arrangements, a lawyer can help ensure the custody order reflects your child's best interests.
- Disputed custody cases: If you and the other parent cannot agree on custody or visitation terms, a lawyer can advocate for your rights in court and help you develop a strong case.
- Modification of custody orders: If you need to change an existing custody arrangement due to changes in circumstances (e.g., relocation, changes in the child’s needs), a lawyer can help file a modification request.
- Parental alienation: If the other parent is interfering with your relationship with your child, a lawyer can help address these issues through legal action.
- Domestic violence or abuse: If there is a history of domestic violence or abuse, a lawyer can help protect you and your child by requesting restraining orders and advocating for appropriate custody arrangements.
- Grandparent or third-party custody: If you are a grandparent or another relative seeking custody or visitation rights, a lawyer can guide you through the legal process.
- Paternity disputes: In cases where paternity is in question, a lawyer can assist with establishing or challenging paternity, which may affect custody and visitation rights.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help protect your parental rights and ensure that the custody arrangement is in your child's best interests.
What Does a Child Custody Lawyer Do?
A child custody lawyer provides a variety of legal services to help parents resolve custody disputes and secure favorable custody arrangements for their children. Their responsibilities often include:
- Filing custody petitions: Helping you file the necessary paperwork to request custody or visitation rights and ensuring all legal procedures are followed.
- Negotiating custody agreements: Assisting in negotiating custody and visitation arrangements, often working toward a mutually beneficial parenting plan without going to court.
- Representing you in court: If you and the other parent cannot agree on custody terms, representing you in court by presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
- Drafting parenting plans: Helping you draft a comprehensive parenting plan that outlines the schedule for physical custody, decision-making responsibilities, and visitation.
- Handling child support issues: Assisting with related issues such as child support, ensuring that financial obligations are properly calculated and enforced.
- Modifying custody orders: Helping you request a modification from the court if you need to change an existing custody arrangement due to significant life changes.
- Mediating custody disputes: Acting as a mediator to help both parents reach an agreement on custody and visitation without the need for litigation.
How Are Child Custody Lawyers Paid?
Child custody lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case, the time involved, and the nature of the legal work. Common payment methods include:
- Hourly rate: Most child custody lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer's experience and location. The total cost depends on the time spent preparing documents, negotiating, and representing you in court.
- Flat fee: For simple custody matters or uncontested custody agreements, some lawyers may offer a flat fee for specific services, such as drafting a parenting plan or filing a custody petition.
- Retainer: Many lawyers require an upfront retainer fee, which is billed against as the lawyer works on your case. The amount varies based on the expected complexity and duration of the case.
- Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some lawyers may offer reduced fees or pro bono (free) services for clients with limited financial means, particularly in cases involving domestic violence or other serious issues.
It’s important to discuss fees and payment arrangements with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will be charged and what services are included.
How Much Does a Child Custody Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a child custody lawyer depends on various factors, including the complexity of the case, whether it’s contested or uncontested, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost estimates include:
- Uncontested custody cases: Legal fees may range from $1,500 to $5,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the paperwork and any negotiations.
- Contested custody cases: Legal fees can range from $5,000 to $40,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the issues, the need for expert testimony, and the time spent in litigation.
- Hourly rates: Lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, with higher rates for more experienced attorneys or complex custody disputes.
- Mediation services: If both parents agree to work through mediation, costs typically range from $1,000 to $5,000 or more for the mediation process.
Always ask for a clear cost estimate during your consultation to ensure that you understand the total legal fees and payment structure.
Top Questions to Ask a Child Custody Lawyer
Before hiring a child custody lawyer, it’s essential to ask the right questions to ensure they are the best fit for your case. Some key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with child custody cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, especially if your case involves complex issues like domestic violence, relocation, or paternity disputes. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees for certain services, or requires a retainer, and ask for an estimate of the total cost. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and expected outcomes. -
How long will the process take?
Inquire about the expected timeline from filing the petition to reaching an agreement or going to trial. -
Will you personally handle my case?
Ensure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court. -
Can we pursue mediation or alternative dispute resolution?
Ask whether the lawyer recommends mediation or other forms of dispute resolution to avoid a lengthy court battle.
How to Check the Credibility of a Child Custody Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable child custody lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and experience:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for family law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in family law and child custody cases.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge the lawyer’s professionalism and success in child custody matters.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on custody cases.
- Check for certifications: Look for lawyers who are board-certified in family law or have memberships in organizations like the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) or local family law sections.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a child custody lawyer, come prepared with relevant documents and information:
- Court orders or existing custody agreements: Bring copies of any existing custody or visitation orders for the lawyer to review.
- Communication with the other parent: Provide copies of emails, texts, or letters regarding custody, visitation, or disputes.
- List of your child’s needs: Prepare a list of your child’s specific needs, such as medical care, education, and extracurricular activities.
- Timeline of the case: Outline key events related to your custody case, including changes in living situations or parental involvement.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions about the custody process, legal fees, and the lawyer’s strategy for your case.
By being well-prepared, you can help the lawyer assess your situation effectively and receive the best possible advice for protecting your rights and your child’s well-being.
