Natalia is well versed and experienced in estate law and so efficient and professional that our estate planning process was easy to navigate. Natalia very quickly identified a strategy to achieve what my husband and I wanted/needed in a straightforward manner that we did not think was possible to meet our estate objectives. We have confidence in the final estate plan and plan to continue to work with Natalia in the coming years as circumstances change. We highly recommend her.

Natalia was very thorough . She pointed things out that I had never thought of like my step son not having my last name he would have had a long drawn out battle in probate court . Health decisions could be very difficult as well especially if I wanted one thing someone one could over ride my wishes . I’ve recommended Natalia several times to people who I work with and would hole heartedly recommend her to anyone . We thank you so much for your legal advice and preparing our trust .

Natalia handled everything regarding probate after our father's passing in the most professional, helpful and empathetic manner that we could have hoped for in such a difficult process. She was able to hold his creditors to account, and ultimately saved us money by giving us the right advice and doing everything correctly the first time. If you are having to go through a similar situation, I highly recommend her services.

Mr Onello charged 30k but simply did not do his job for the amount he charged. The divorce got dragged out much longer than it supposed to because Mr Onello wanted to charge maximum for the minimum work he did. At the end, I had to file my own forms because he was asking for more after I paid 30k. The case is listed as Cassel vs Cassel in Clark county so this is a legit one star review. Avoid at all cost. One last point I want to make. Mr Onello spends more time removing one star reviews than actually working so I would assume all the 5 star reviews are not legit. Don't fall for false reviews like I did.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.

First impression was everything! Ashlee V. was insightful, strategic, and always gave lots of options, without pushing us into anything that we did not want. 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.

Attorney Ashlee Vasquez provided me with exceptional legal support, leaving me feeling secure about the future for myself and my daughter. Her expertise in family law was evident as she listened attentively to my concerns and fears, leaving no stone unturned. Ashlee's genuine care and compassion set her apart from other attorneys I spoke too and brought me reassurance during a challenging time. With her guidance, I now have renewed hope for the future. I highly recommend Ashlee Vasquez for her unwavering dedication and commitment to her clients' well-being.

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.

he backstory is that my daughter's mother decided to move away and tried to take my daughter across the country away from me for no reason other than she wanted to move. I've been active and in my daughter's life since birth but due to my previous choice of attorney, almost lost this case. After almost a year of legal gamesmanship and being financially milked by The firm representing me previously a friend told me about Bruce and the Pecos law group. With only 45 days to trial that team put together a great argument and legal strategy that allowed the judge to clearly see what my daughter's mother was up to. Bruce, Jack, and the entire team, humbly, I thank you. I have primary custody of this beautiful little girl and life is good because of you.

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!

After realizing how difficult child custody trials are, I was referred to Lorien for help with my case. Lorien was amazing from the start, she met with me and gave me insights on where my case stood at the time and what I could do to help win. Throughout the 8 months Lorien worked on my case, I was consistently given updates from her and her team and was always made to feel heard and validated. She took the time to make sure myself and witnesses were fully prepared for the trial date. On the day of the trial Lorien helped me stay calm and reassured during my testimony. Lorien was stern and clever when speaking on my behalf. After the trial was over, she talked to me and let me know of what to expect next. I cannot thank Lorien enough for helping my gain primary custody of my children. I will forever be grateful for all of her help and hard work in making sure my children are happy and safe.

My high-conflict Ex had Filed for Divorce just as the Pandemic started and we went on Lock-down. I had questions because I didn't know if I even needed a lawyer. Lorien answered all of my questions for me, and offered me direction, before she even agreed to represent me. She represented and stood by me during my almost three years long, High Conflict Divorce & Custody battle that included numerous false allegations, false accusations, multiple false CPS cases, Extreme Parental Alienation, and multiple Smear Campaigns by my ex. Lorien always knew what to do each time something new was hurled at me, and she helped me prove everything to be false, so that my children were returned to me, while helping navigate me through the most difficult, heart wrenching, and stressful time of my life; as well as restoring my character and reputation, in court. We had 7 full days of trial, as well as many, many Hearings. She had many witnesses and expert witnesses testify, always on pointe when questioning witnesses, and never backing down to opposing counsel and all their shenanigans. As a mother herself, she always has the best interest of the children at heart, and she really cares about her clients - you never feel like you're just a case. She stuck it out with me to the end, and continues to represent me, as things pop up with my ex. I am so grateful to have found her, and that she took my case knowing it would be a difficult one. I cannot say enough positive things about Lorien - she is the BEST! When things are High Conflict, you want Lorien fighting for you! THANK YOU!!!

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.

I had an initial consultation with him which blew me away. Although he knew my case is not happening soon he took his time, he wrote down all the bullet points with details. His suggestions regarding my potential case were absolutely on point. Never saw a lawyer in Las Vegas who really cares about your concerns. Definitely will refer him to anybody who needs a real family lawyer in town.

All i have to say about Jordan and his staff (Melissa) is they are amazing ..they helped take care of my case. I had dealt with other attorneys but none of them come close to Jordan and his staff .they always call back and keep you up to date with anything going on with your case. The Only thing i would have changed about my case is i wish i would have found him sooner .I will definitly refer him to any of my friends or familey That may need an attorney.. Once again thank you Jordan for all of your help.

I highly recommend Brian Reardon for personal injury representation. I was in a crash caused by a distracted driver, resulting in damage to my vehicle and injuries. A tough and persistent negotiator, Brian fought for a fair settlement, resulting in compensation that was 3x higher than expected. He identified expenses and impacts that would have otherwise been overlooked, provided consistent follow-up with medical providers and insurance staff, and demonstrated empathy and concern for my needs. Reach out to Brian today - you will not be disappointed!

Brittney handled my Divorce, which was relatively smooth, but 9 months later I found myself under attack by the x-wife, who filed bogus CPS and TPO cases against me in an attempt to take my son away, who we had joint custody of at the time. With the help of her unscrupulous, unethical council and a slow family court system her plan worked... for a while. Brittney was ALWAYS the consummate professional (even when I didn't want her to be!) and NEVER GAVE UP, even when things looked bleak. In the end we won... and we won BIG! I doubt there are many, if any, attorneys in Las Vegas that know the law as well as Brittney, and I know for a fact that much less skilled local attorneys charge WAY more money than Brittney for their services. She's fair, honest, and kicks A*** when necessary, like a legal Superhero! All she needs is a cape!

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and expected outcomes.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Inquire about the expected timeline from filing the petition to reaching an agreement or going to trial.
  5. Will you personally handle my case?
    Ensure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court.
  6. 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.
