Susan is an amazing, talented, smart, sensitive and more than capable attorney that has been a huge help to my life. I wish I had met her sooner than I did, but she has walked beside me through a very difficult situation and was very responsive to my needs. She's very skilled with negotiating and will not give up when things are difficult. Call her right now if you need an attorney!

Susan culpepper is at the top of the charts for me.... Knowledgable, curtious,kind,respectful,and open to.listening are just a few of the words I think of after hiring her. I think my case was one of those cases that made the judge stratch her own head lol. But we pulled it off and i have my kid again and it's all because of Susan knowing the law behind the case. I appreciate you so much and God bless .....

Highly recommend. This team is amazing! Within an hour of retaining the firm I had an emergency situation arise and they immediately jumped into action. Everyone here works together for the clients best interest and it shows. I’ve not ever been left questioning where we’re at, or what’s going on with the case. Derek acts with integrity and you can tell he is respected in court. When the judge looks at you and says, “I hope you know you have a great attorney, because most wouldn’t have done this.”, you know you made the right decision. Leslie is amazing as well! They have gone above and beyond in ways most firms wouldn’t bother. You get what you pay for here, without a doubt.

Lauren Kelly is an AMAZING attorney. She has done a wonderful job representing me. My days of being bullied, ended the day she took my case. She is honest and up front. Whether you are right or wrong, she is honest and will tell you to your face. I have an enormous amount of respect for this woman. She is aggressive when needed and will fight for her client until the end. She is extremely smart and dedicated to making a difference. My case could not have been put in better hands. I am thankful every day of my life, for Lauren Kelly. She is a remarkable human being and anyone she represents is extremely lucky to have her in their corner.

I hired this firm to represent my son and it was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made. Damian Holcomb has no respect or concern for his clients and does nothing but lie, steal and not show up. Josh Johnson is a sorry excuse for an attorney. He also, does nothing but lie and steal. They work harder for their court appointed clients than their paying clients. They take on cases they know they can’t handle just to get money from people and then lie about everything. I’m not saying none of this because I’m bitter about losing. I’m saying it because they literally did nothing for my son’s case in the 6 months they had his case. They worked against him, never went to see him and made it seem like his case(life) did not matter to them. I’m not from here and was referred to them. Once I experienced how horrible they were and started calling other attorney’s, the first question I was asked was asked why on earth would you hire them…. Their own colleagues think they are a joke…. They took my money and refused to file motion to withdraw until 2 months before my sons trial and now we are stuck without an attorney and a good portion of the money we need to hire a competent one. This was done on purpose so that my son doesn’t get a fair chance to fight his case.

If I could give ZERO STARS I would. There are so many things I can say that went wrong with choosing them.
- LACK OF COMMUNICATION w/ client
- LACK OF COMMUNICATION w/ staff
- NO MOTION OR ANYTHING MADE
- LATE TO COURT DATES
- HELD DISCOVERY TO HINDER CLIENT FROM WORKING ON HIS OWN CASE
From day one these people knew that the case they were going to receive was a lot. They still chose to take my money. Later on down the line never did anything they said they were going to do. They are not willing to fight for nobody but want to took MY MONEY. THEY WORK HARDER FOR THEIR FREE CLIENTS RATHER THAN THEIR PAID CLIENTS. My husband has been sitting in jail since march AND NO PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE THANKS TO HOLCOMB AND JOHNSON LAZY LAWFIRM.

John Holaday has represented me on two occasions with very different situations, but his expertise in both matters was beyond compare and both resulted in positive results. He is a tenacious defender of his client and works tirelessly to get the best possible outcome. A man of high character and knowledge of the law, I do not hesitate to recommend him at every opportunity.

I met with Mr. Holaday for a free consultation and was very impressed with his vast knowledge of Family Law and other areas that can come into play in a complicated (and lengthy) divorce. He was very realistic about the time frame and obstacles involved. He is very patient and will listen to all of your concerns, and at the same time, will interject when needed because law is law and not always fair. His retainer fees I felt were high, but fair considering all issues concerned. He works well with clients who present/prefer solutions/settlements.
I recommend Mr. Holaday

My husband and I were looking for some legal information on how to navigate a family custody case in another county and Mrs. Porter was NOT SHY!! She was honest with us, she told us various possibilities. She didn't allow her lack of knowledge of another county's court system deter her from helping us. She even made wonderful references to lawyers that were able to practice in the county that we needed. I like that she was up-front with us. She immediately said that she didn't work in that particular county, but she STILL did her due diligence in helping us. She understood where we were coming from as former foster parents and actually HEARD US. We loved her and would go back to her in a heartbeat if we needed to!! She has also kept in contact with us on our case and offerred prayer for us as we went forward. There is nothing like an attorney that places her clients first!!

Elizabeth helped me with my son’s adoption this past year. She is very passionate and cares for her clients. She’s also very professional and very knowledgeable. I was informed of everything throughout my entire case. Elizabeth and her team never once made me feel like they didn’t have time for me, they answered EVERY question I had. My case took longer than I personally wanted it too, but when I tell you every legal block was checked off, it was. And there’s no coming back from it. I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Elizabeth and her team for what ever it is, your needing.

My experience with Elizabeth Porter was nothing short of exceptional. In navigating a complex child custody case, she demonstrated a remarkable blend of legal expertise and genuine empathy. Her meticulous approach to the details of my case, coupled with a commitment to fairness, set her apart.
What truly stood out was her ability to communicate complex legal concepts in a clear and accessible manner, ensuring I understood each step of the process. Throughout the proceedings, she consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of family law and an unwavering dedication to my case.
Her strategic thinking and thorough preparation were evident in every interaction. It was apparent that she had a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies involved in child custody matters. Despite the challenges, she remained composed and focused, always prioritizing the best interests of my child.
In the end, her efforts culminated in a successful outcome—I was granted custody of my child. This victory is a direct result of her hard work, legal acumen, and commitment to fairness. I wholeheartedly recommend Elizabeth to anyone in need of a family law expert, especially in challenging custody cases.

While I adore several of these attorneys as friends and people I admire, it does not make up for the worst experience I've ever had with a law office. The first time I called, I was constantly cut off and could not finish a sentence. I was spoken to as if I were a toddler. I still ended up booking a consultation, as I'm bleeding thousands due to fraud that I need legal counsel to fix. I requested it to be conference call due to inclement weather - but they just flat out didn't call me. They did a consultation and declined my case without asking me a question or even showing me the respect of calling me as I requested. I felt completely dismissed and unimportant. When I asked about not receiving a call, despite requesting it a few hours earlier, their staff responded with an attitude, spoke down to me, and hung up on me! I waited 5 days for an appointment, which didn't happen. I've since requested additional callback through their website, as their phone staffer will hang up on you, and have heard nothing back. If you want to deal with a gatekeeping headache, this is the law office for you.

Does not respond in a timely manner, refuses to refund unearned portion of retainer, skirts around and does not send documents, belittles and bullies people, threatens with releasing confidential information to public and does. You as a client are not important.

They helped me with a speeding ticket I got while driving through Mississippi on a cross country trip. Their fee was reasonable, they appeared in court on my behalf and got me the best deal (No adjudication if I pay the fine). Jessica, the person who answers the phone, was professional and courteous.

People kept asking if I had a good lawyer when I retained Mr.Andersen - as I never needed one I didn’t know how to answer it. I now have three new attorneys for a multistate custody and parental kidnapping, and hindsight 20/20 - he was not a good lawyer. He failed to meet me the day before my court date, called at 10 p.m. asking me questions he should have been briefed on by his paralegal. He showed up late the following day, allowing the other attorney to dismiss for jurisdiction. If Mr.Andersen cared at all, he would have been there to argue my stance - but he wasn’t. Complete disgrace.

Cassidy represented me in a child custody modification and visitations. I would not recommend Cassidy for any matters regarding child custody or child support. He disregarded over 150 pages of documented events for the past four years, evidence, he ignored our multiple statements of wanting to go to trial, under his advisement convinced us to settle, and left us in an even worst situation now than what is was previously. Afterwards, when contacted again regarding the agreement not working, he told us we need to “figure it out.” Since then, things have only gotten worst.

She is not just an all out terrible person, I really don't believe. I actually had a friend, Lori Sparks, recommend me to her bc she helped her. But...she was/is the guardian ad lidem over our case by the time I called her so she said anyways. and its because of the crooked and corrupt system that she works in here in the south especially, she has made me look bad for every single thing I even Say to my children. Smh. sad when you lose your kids bc you can NOT punish them anymore....ohh and she has BEGGED my 13 year old daughter to go and live with her donor's mom because my child is half black so I guess she feels that she doesn't belong with me. What a Shame and disgrace this place has come to. It saddens me deeply to see such a corrupt system and people whom I believe are good at heart be involved due to money and hurting children most of all because they want nothing more than to be with their mother and father and they know this but choose to make them stay elsewhere 💔 I would not use her because of the racial thing she's had going on with my daughter. 0 stars 🌟 for that

Specifically for me, hiring this attorney was my worst night mare! She told me what she could do for me, but it was the exact opposite of what she said. After court, she told me to sign a form that I did not complete. I never got a chance to see what was on the form. She said that she would complete it and turn it in. When she was asked for my court transcript, she stated that it was misplaced during her office move. She is deceitful. She did not give me all the receipts for monies paid for her service, claimed she did not know where her receipt book was. Her practice is moral turpitude.

PLEASE do not hire this attorney. She acts like a teenager as far as sitting in the court room and giggling and gossipping. She told my opponents lawyer out ENTIRE CASE which allowed them to plow over us. Please, hire anyone else. You can tell by taking to her how inexperienced, inarticulate and just bad she is. I'm sorry but please save your money.

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:
-

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.
