Wow. Mr. Cooper is absolutely wonderful. Not having much experience on the law side of things, I felt as if I was lost and hopeless. Mr. cooper answered every phone call and text. He was on-top of everything, explained every step and did not back down. I cannot say enough good things. Please refer Richard Cooper to everyone! Trust me, he is amazing! Thank you Richard Cooper for helping my family you truly saved us!

I am incredibly impressed with the professionalism and efficiency of Danriah Welch . From the moment I walked into the office, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. She consistently demonstrated exceptional organizational skills, ensuring that all documents were meticulously prepared, and deadlines were met without fail.
Danriah has a remarkable ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously while maintaining a calm and composed demeanor. Her communication skills are top-notch, always keeping me informed about the status of my case and promptly addressing any questions or concerns I had.
What truly sets Danriah apart is her dedication to client satisfaction. She went above and beyond to ensure that I felt supported throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail and commitment to excellence are evident in every aspect of her work.
I highly recommend Danriah Welch to anyone in need of a reliable and highly competent law office manager. She truly had a significant positive impact on my experience with the law firm.

After countless interviews with potential lawyers, I finally hired Sandy Fox and his firm to assist with child support and reunification with my children, as the mother has not allowed me to see them in nearly eight years. From the start, Sandy and his team have been absolutely incredible.
Having dealt with countless lawyers who took advantage of me financially and delivered no results, Sandy’s firm has been a breath of fresh air. They treat me with unmatched professionalism and care, offering a level of service and results I’ve never experienced before.
One of the most impressive aspects of Sandy’s firm is the extreme attention to detail in their court filings. Everything they submit is thorough and meticulously prepared, which has given me great confidence throughout this process. Additionally, his assistant, paralegals, and other attorneys are always on the ball, ensuring that every aspect of my case is handled efficiently and with the utmost care.
Family cases are deeply emotional, and throughout this difficult process, Sandy has been a constant source of support. When I feel deflated, I reach out to him, and he always takes the time to reassure me and lift my spirits—a level of care that goes beyond legal representation.
For anyone seeking an incredible law firm that offers not just professional expertise but also personal support, I cannot recommend Sandy Fox and his team highly enough. They truly are the best in family law.

Sandy Fox and his entire team are extremely effective! When I hired Sandy to represent me I was in a highly contentious divorce that had been painfully dragged out for 4 yrs and several attorneys . In less than a years time my case, that ultimately went in front of a judge, resolved. Sandy Fox shined and got me a judgment i didn’t think was even possible. As another reviewer stated he is not one to stroke ego or entertain B.S. on either side. He is a highly effective, focused and aprovechable Divorce trial lawyer!
I wish I had hired him and his team years earlier, I know it would have saved me and my family a lot of time, stress and money.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Parastoo Majd for prenuptial agreement services, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, Parastoo made me feel heard, understood, and advocated for. Prenuptial agreements can be a challenging and sensitive matter, but Parastoo’s expertise, empathy, and professionalism made the experience incredibly smooth and reassuring. Her ability to clearly explain every detail and ensure my concerns were addressed was invaluable.
If you’re looking for a skilled attorney who truly cares about her clients, Parastoo Majd is the one to go to.

Parastoo was a fierce advocate for me during a complicated Post-divorce case. She put me at ease from the minute I started to discuss my case with her. She gave me the confidence to deal with an extremely stressful situation because she believed in my case. Parastoo is a compassionate professional who truly cares about her clients. Her dedication, strategic approach, knowledge and attention to detail was evident from the very beginning. She never wavered in her belief of my case. I knew I could trust the process with her representing me.

I used Fausto for two real-estate investments properties, commercial lease negations and assistance with current commercial landlords for my businesses. Fausto has always been able to achieve the desired result with everything I have given him. One of my investment properties in Miami had a lien on it that was very difficult to find and became a lengthy issue and is a long story, but he won my business off of resolving that issue.
I have delt with several attorneys and Fausto is by far the best I have ever worked within any industry. I know I am always in good hands when I hand off issues to him and his team.
There is no need to look elsewhere Fausto will get the job done for you.

Tron is an EXCELLENT attorney! He explains things in away for me to understand and it does not matter to him how long it takes he makes sure I understand what he is saying. He always responds to me when I call or text him. The main thing that makes him an EXCELLENT attorney is not his vast knowledge or his professionalism but the fact that he REALLY CARES!!

My wife Cynthia and Me were frightened and devastated when our brokerage firm after having lost 1.5 million dollars of our retirement savings over the course of a year and a half phoned to say we should liquid our portfolio.
Fortuitously, we googled " The Best Stock Broker Negligence Lawyer in Florida." JEFF EREZ'S name appeared at the top of a list of attorneys. While at dinner I sent an email to Jeff Erez. Within seconds he responded.
I am a retired personal injury litigation attorney with more than 45 years of experience. I knew within 15 minutes of our conversation that Jeff was an extraordinary and highly skilled litigator. His analysis and legal advice was cogent, concise and as it turned out legally correct. Within days my wife and me met Jeff and his team. We retained his firm to pursue our case.
Our pleadings, discovery, and motions to compel evidence were emailed to me. They were works of legal excellence. Jeff also emailed copies of responses. It was obvious to me Jeff's talent, skill, work ethic and experience were vastly superior to the defense team's work product.
Predictably within less than a year our case settled at mediation
for a significant amount of money. Without reservation or qualification I recommend Jeff Erez and his team to any person who has suffered financial losses from unsuitable decisions made by their money manager or broker.
My wife and me after having been victimized are restored to retirement security. Many thanks and appreciation to Jeff Erez and his team.

We had an issue with a burst pipe underneath our house that was causing extremely high water and electrical bills. My wife and I presented the situation to a handful of lawyers and experts to see what options we would have. Most of the other lawyers just wanted to get a deal done but Daniel took the time to sit with us, understand the full impact of the damage, send out an appraiser on his own dime, and eventually told us some options we had.
Daniel is extremely well versed on Florida law and explained the entire process from end to end. No sugar coating. From what could have been a very unpleasant and lengthy process, Daniel and his team ensured a pleasant and smooth process which eventually ended in awarding us a settlement check to cover the full extent of the damages.

I hired Kenneth Kaplan to help with me with a very complicated divorce case. A number of attorneys preceded him and were unable to make any forward progress: in fact, a couple of them only served to make things worse. He reviewed over 1000 pages of case files and quickly had a thorough understanding of the issues. The case involved custody of a minor child and a number of financial matters. I found Mr. Kaplan to be a consummate professional who not only took pride in his work but also cared about the outcome of the proceedings. He was easy to get hold of and always returned my phone calls promptly. His advice and court action were always based in fact and tempered by financial practicalities. His advice created appropriate expectations and oftentimes served to dampen down my desire to move forward in a manner based more on my emotions than on my intellect. In the end, I avoided useless court time and unnecessary fees. The results he obtained for me on every level have been wonderful, a real blessing. I can recommend him without qualification to anyone who needs assistance with divorce. You will not find anyone better.

I’m very thankful I decided to consult with her before I took matters into my own hands. If in a near future I were to go forward And push forward with my case I would highly recommend her.

Vanessa was very professional. She listened attentively and gave the best legal advice. She understood my situation and respected my decision.

Hi.
Vanessa has represented me for about two years and I could not be happier with her service / counseling / support and why not... with our growing friendship.
I am a physician, but I had just finished my residency and money was a big struggle when I first hired Vanessa. However, my children'swell-being was a cause worth fighting for and investing my time, energy and limited resources. I read about Vanessa right here, at Avvo. Having had a good share of legal fiascos with previous "highly recommended" lawyers that only put me way deeper in debt with not real results, I was skeptical and afraid as my decision at the time was time sensitive and had no margin for error. I am glad I decided to hire Vanessa. She was considerate and very reasonable with legal fees and truly I felt she treated my case with the heart of a mother/father and advocated for my children as she would have done for her own children. She mounted a surprising case (at least to me) and recommended steps that no other lawyer had mentioned to me before and time proved to be the right strategy. Vanessa got my WHOLE case resolved in less than a year and pretty much I got every item I was hoping I could offer to my children such as: equal time share (50/50) with both parents, consistent and well structured time schedule, attendance to best possible school, common sense and fair things such as place for pick up/drop off, among other things. Vanessa was against an experienced and thought lawyer... and she shined.
I must tell you that I did my homework and had everything ready at every step, saved emails, receipts, text conversation, etc... I did this over a period of time and I'd advise you do your work as well. Finally, after many years of back and forth visits to court, my case was resolved... and the legal cost at the end was not significantly different from our first calculations. I imagine every case is different, but Vanessa really try to help client's cost by deferring much of routine interaction to her secretary and/or paralegal which were both really nice, courteous and very professional and cost a fraction of a lawyer's fee.
Even better and unexpected news... I believe Vanessa (maybe indirectly, too complicated to explain here) also helped to improve my relationship with my ex which has been a blessing. My kids' mom and I just celebrated our son's birthday party together for the first time and it was a blast. I am very thankful to Vanessa for what she has done for me, my children and my family.
Note: I usually do not write reviews, mostly due to lack for free time, but this review is truly important to me. It is a way to show gratitude to my lawyer and equally important possibly help someone desperate for help (as I was) to make the right decision. I believe Vanessa has her heart in the right place, something difficult to find nowadays.
Best wishes!!!

My case was stressful.
Brittney was there to answer all my questions. The team helped appease any anxieties from the first phone call.
She explained every step of the process, patiently and always kept me updated with the status of my case. I knew the entire staff at Hertz Segar was on my side and the outcome was more than positive.
The patience, professionalism, dedication, and efficiency at Hertz Segar made all the difference and my children and I can't thank them enough!
For family law, Hertz Segar is the best!

I attained Brittney Blumengold for several legal issues in the past decade regarding family matters, relationship tribulations, and separation trepidations. In every single case she has brought me clarity, justice, and results. Mrs. Blumengold is well-versed on family law, and she knows all the intricacies of the court system. She personally replies to emails in a timely manner and answers phone calls, which is so hard to find in this day and age. Mrs. Blumengold always made time to remedy all my questions and concerns, kept me updated on my case, and walked me through all the proceedings. Unlike many lawyers, who just work for the profits, she makes sure humanity is not removed from the equation. If you’re shopping for an experienced family attorney, then this is who you should be contacting. The legal market is flooded with many new attorneys, but that inexperience will hurt clients who deserve quality help. In the words of the late Sailor Jerry, “Good work ain't cheap, cheap work ain't good.”

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.
