Filed for Chapter 13 and from the very beginning, Richard promised so many things to us as means of negotiation and in regard to the terms set forth in our agreement. Needless to say, promise after promise was one huge let down! He wouldn't return calls and e-mails. Very unorganized and hasn't a clue what he is doing. From exchange for new vehicles to saving our home. Ha! Nothing but a paycheck for this man. We requested documents outlining which creditors received what amounts multiple times and never did receive one. Finally ended up getting it directly from the Trustee. The office doesn't know how to respond to any inquiries but you have to go through them to try contacting him. It's a vicious cycle. He actually told us not to pay the Trustee when my husband was laid off and to, "Just wait and see what happens." Not kidding. Wellll, let me tell you what happens!!! Although we did send payment at first, we took the "advice" from our Attorney and our Bankruptcy was discharged with 4 month remaining. Handed over our vehicles for the promise of 2 new vehicles totaling $25k that the Trustee denied. Lost the home. Lost EVERYTHING. Make sure to request everything in writing.

The moment I met Ruth I felt completely comfortable with her. Our first meeting instilled a confidence that she would be the best person to follow through with taking care of our divorce. As we worked through the process, I continued to admire her professionalism and commitment in doing the best for our situation. I am beyond grateful for the work that she has done and really consider her a friend!

Terrible communication. I hired him and paid him $7500 for my divorce and he barely spoke to me, lied under oath at the mediation and sided with my ex husband. Horrible lawyer.

Lorne is a great attorney. He is tough when necessary, but also reasonable and fair. He won't drag out a case just to make more money. He discusses options and costs every step of the way, and he allows you to make sound decisions based on his advice. He is very knowledgeable of the law, and is smart with settlement numbers.
Not only is Lorne a great attorney, he also is a great counselor. He is insightful and can recognize the games played by the other side. He helps you keep your patience, and focused on your goals.
Lorne performed above and beyond in my case and I would recommend him to anyone.

I hired Lorne to handle a very complex family law matter when another attorney had failed. Lorne was not only able to understand and handle my case, he did so with tenacity and compassion. He is very well respected by both judges and mediators and he is respected and feared by opposing counsel. If you want a smart, tough, honest attorney who cares about your case and has the respect of everyone in the family law arena, Lorne is the best there is.

My wife passed Sept. 2023, I needed some legal work and advice. I spoke with several attorneys, just to get an idea of the steps necessary to handle my situation. I found a connection with Ms. Skillman right away, I liked how she explained the best way to deal with my situation and I'm very happy with the results. I learned a long time ago always look for a good car mechanic and attorney and keep their number handy for future needs and to refer to family and friends. Life is hard enough, always try and find people you can trust. Thank you Attorney Skillman. ♥️

Dear Steven,
Thank you for representing me in court.. You were referred to my wife by her Doctor's Office. I appreciate you for working with her to help me. I will refer you to anyone needing your help. I was pleased with what you did for me in court. I felt more at ease having a lawyer who had great knowledge of the laws that I had no knowledge of. That did put me at ease. If you are reading this and you need a good lawyer call Steven and say you read this.
Thank you,

I had previous offences for the same misdemeanor level crime. Mr. Gregory helped me immensely and for a very fair and modest price. I still have a clean record thanks to him. I would recommend his skills to anyone in the Marquette area. He has become well respected and well recognized in the area and court system and will truly do his best to assist you in any way possible. He contacts you accordingly and on time, knows what he's doing, and won't let you down.

Mr. Gregory's reputation as an aggressive trial lawyer and talented employment lawyer are well-known in the U.P. I consulted with Mr. Gregory regarding my wrongful termination from employment because of my age after more than 30 years of working for the same employer. Mr. Gregory told me exactly what I needed to do and steered me in the right direction with regard to the severance package that was being offered, and my civil rights. Thank you, Mr. Gregory!

My company retained Attorney Gregory to assist in-house counsel with negotiating a number of employment contracts and purchase agreements. Attorney Gregory was also retained to litigate existing contract disputes and new disputes, as they arose. Attorney Gregory negotiated our contracts and agreements very effectively, in fact, so effectively that no new litigation has arisen. With regard to litigation that pre-existed Attorney Gregory's retainer, Attorney Gregory has defended the company flawlessly.

I had a deeply disappointing experience with KL Law. We recently consulted them for immigration-related questions and found the service to be severely lacking in professionalism and organization.
Our appointment was scheduled for 4 PM, but we did not receive a call until we followed up with the front desk. To our frustration, the call was then delayed until 4:20 PM, despite our repeated reminders about the timing issue, reminded 4 times before the appointment to front desk staff.
The consultation was further marred by confusion and poor communication. Although we were scheduled to meet with Mani Khavajian, we were informed by the front desk staff that he would not be handling our case and that another attorney would step in. This change was never communicated to us beforehand, leaving us baffled.
The attorney we spoke with provided explanations that were both contradictory and unclear. Given that our case involves a relatively straightforward process—changing status from H1B to H4 and back to H1B—we expected a higher level of clarity and expertise.
We have already informed Mani Khavajian via email about our dissatisfaction and requested a resolution, but we have yet to receive any response. This lack of follow-up has prompted me to leave this review in hopes of bringing attention to the issues we faced. Overall, our experience with KL Law has been unsatisfactory, and I would not recommend their services for work visa related support.

Saraphoena is passionate, highly ethical, and professional attorney. She stive to find best resolutions to conflict, that put the child best interest first, even if it meant less fees paid to her services. I am a single dad, and not familiar with family law, didn't grow up here, my English is not perfect, but yet, she was patient with me explaining things to me in a language I could understand. She doesn't promise you the moon, she doesn't tell you what you want to hear, rather, she gives you the honest opinion about your case. She spent a lot of time on my case doing academic research with the FOC, then found out that it wasn't to the best of my interest to proceed, she decided to credit my account for the time she spent, then sent me back a check! I was very surprised! She is worth every dollar you spent, when the case is closed, you will find out that you actually saved money by hiring her because she is efficient and knowledgeable, does what make financial sense to her client, which was more important to her than making money on my case.
I enjoyed getting to know and working Saraphoena, I hope I don't have to deal with family law again, but if I do, I know I can depend on her to ensure my daughter interest is well protected, fair treatment for me as a single dad with FOC, and most importantly, continue to have a positive co-parenting with my daughter's mother.

Saraphoena listened to my case with empathy, provided excellent guidance, prepared like no other, and ultimately represented professionally and passionately in the courtroom. I am so glad Saraphoena Koffran was my representation in a post-judgement matter regarding my child. I was shocked, and extremely pleased, with the vast difference of her preparation and knowledge in the courtroom than the opposing party.

As a single father with three children I did not believe that it would have been possible, for the outcome that Marke was absolutely able to achieve for my children and myself. He is an understanding and patient man but a sleeping giant in the background.
I absolutely would recommend any person that's looking for an honest attorney to represent your children, regarding their best well-being to hire Marke to express your words and concerns that you have and he will be able to handle it for you!!!!

I appreciate that Marke taking some time out of his busy schedule to talk to me on the phone. He gave me some advise to tell me how my situation could go regarding parental rights and child support. Being that my son isn’t born yet, I’m too early on doing anything. That’s understandable. Although he was able to provide me clarity and ease my stress. He is a smart man and when or if I need an attorney I know who to go to. Thank you again for your advise.

Channelle drafted the wrong wording regarding spousal support after taking her to two mediations, per my new lawyer that I took to my final arbitration. She hardly looked at my case, and relied on her office personnel to handle everything. When I showed up at the first mediation she asked me why we were there and if me and my ex could reconcile (no). I felt she sided with my ex in terms of giving him 50/50 parenting time even though I was a stay at home mom. I do not recommend this office to anyone.

Ashleigh is an exceptional attorney! She was with me every step of the way as we fought and won against a very difficult to deal with EX and lawyer from a popular divorce firm for women. We were faced with a lot of obstacles, which were all overcome! The outcome of my case was even better than I expected! Ashleigh and the staff are very responsive and efficient. I can’t say enough about the level of professionalism and seasoned skill set that was displayed on my case.
Having Kizy law on your side fighting for you will be an asset, especially if you’re dealing with divorce, parenting time/rights, and child support.
I can’t thank you enough! You’ve given me the invaluable opportunities to continue be a great Dad to an amazing little girl! Opportunities which turn into memories which my daughter and I will be able to cherish for a lifetime!

Marc handled all the paperwork, provided copies, and provided an update on time so that we always knew we were within the time we paid for. I highly recommend Marc to anyone who asks and would work with him again if the situation arose.

Was expecting a big turnout due to my accident but unfortunately the person that hit me back on 10-10 2021. She had no insurance, no license. I thought Mike Morris was a good law firm to get me the most but instead we had to sue my insurance. I was off work for almost a year due to lower back shoulder and neck. Since I opt out of a medical coverage on my insurance, they only seeked out $100,000. Of course they took. They cut left me with almost about $10,000 the day of my hearing. My attorney Mr. Wheatley was on vacation so to me it felt like I got the low in because now I still have $20,000 worth of medical bills and I felt like they could have did more in my eyes. I look at it as my case was pennies to them so I'm just not satisfied with the outcome and the main thing was I wish I didn't get stuck with a medical bill because I did nothing wrong and I wish I never would have got in an accident or had to go through any of this to being debt and to still have somewhat of an injury. So if it's not a big high profile case, I wouldn't recommend using them!! And if they so much care, they took almost 34,000 my insurance through my job received $50,000 And other fees. So I pretty much was left with nothing and a bill and after the case was closed when I called to speak to Mr. Wheatley the only thing he can tell me is to get on a payment arrangement for almost $20,000 worth of medical bills. So if anything you could have fought a little harder to make sure I didn't have no medical bills and I wouldn't feel the way I feel now

Mehrani is a hard-working attorney who ensured my case was handled with the utmost care and professionalism. Her dedication and attention to detail were evident in every step.
I recently applied for an advisory opinion through Mehrani to address the discrepancy of the 212(e) home residency requirement between my Visa page and my DS-2019. She took the case seriously and collected all the necessary information to support my application.
When I saw her video about this on YouTube, At first, I was hesitant since I didn’t know her in person, nor did I have any recommendations from others. However, I didn’t have any fear when I paid for the attorney service fee even before she submitted my case, as I could see her determination in the videos she posted.
Communication was always prompt and thorough, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Thanks to Mehrani's hard work and expertise, my advisory opinion result was positive, and I am incredibly grateful. I highly recommend Mehrani to anyone in need of legal assistance. She is truly exceptional at what she does.
Thank you, Mehrani, for your outstanding service!

This was my first time dealing personally with divorce and was unsure how things would go.

The best decision I've made in a long time was choosing Frank Briguglio to represent me in my divorce case. Frank is a highly skilled and knowledgeable craftsman who guided me perfectly through the toughest time in my life. Frank kept me grounded, focused and encouraged that I would make out on the other end of the divorce process with the fairest outcome possible. Every step of the way he had the best advice and the right answers. He is every bit of a well practiced professional at the top of his game. For just one example, when we met with my ex-wife and her attorney to attempt to reach a settlement, Frank was not only able to quote settled case law to my advantage regarding spousal support but he also had the legal book in hand and marked ready to prove his point. Frank even told her attorney to keep the book - proving our side of the table was far more prepared for negotiation. Having Frank's vast experience on my side clearly gave me the legal upper hand in my case. Aside from his legal expertise, Frank was able correctly ascertain my ex-wife's narcissistic and greedy personality.
Frank being on the board of the of Macomb County Bar Association also played to my advantage as not only is he extensively versed in divorce proceedings but it was obvious he is well respected by those who work in the Macomb County court system - particularly by my case mediator Debra O'Brien. Even the person I met with at Friend of the Court knew Frank - again providing me confidence that I had knowledgeable and experience representation.
Communication from Frank's assistant were always timely, complete and concise.
On top off all this, I also found Frank to be a genuinely nice guy who cared about me, not just as a client, but as a person going through the challenges of a late in life divorce.

I have used Cheryl to handle several matters and am astounded at the success. She is the most knowledgeable attorney I have met in regards to divorce, PPO's and the legal process in general. The nice thing about Cheryl is that she knows Monroe county, she understands how the judges think and makes her plan around that. She is almost like this quite lioness hiding in the weeds, she jumps out and pounces on her prey and they never see it coming. She uses everything to her advantage in one way or another, the law is still the law don't get me wrong but she has a very keen way of getting her point across. Thank you for the successes !!

First and Foremost I would like to say thank you to the firm of Lee Steinberg, I did an online chat on Thanksgiving Day 2023 because I hired a small firm and I felt my case was not being handled I just kept getting shifted to paralegal’s 6 of them. Mr. Lee Steinberg called me immediately addressing my concerns and then I had the great experience of meeting Brian who signed me up and brought my case to the firm. Lee and his firm called to introduce themselves even his son Scott formally introduced himself over the phone. This immediately put my mind at ease, then Lee referred me to one of his awesome lawyers Christoper he and his paralegal Marcy have paid the utmost attention to my case along with his legal secretaries Kelly and Elise. Together combined they all make a great team and my legal matter is being handled properly. I would give them 5 ⭐️ stars! The firm of Lee Steinberg, they truly care about their clients and I would like to say thank you for caring and making the difference.
Truly,
L A

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?

- 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.
