After leaving two different lawyers, I literally needed to pray to God for helping me to find a responsible lawyer! Melissa is His answer for me. First of all, Melissa respects her profession - she realizes that it is a SERVICE to the clients that many lawyers do not realize nowadays. She reads, analyze, and remembers the information so that she does not need the client to re-tell the stories over and over again. Many lawyers nowadays would just refuse to share the headspace to keep their clients' information, so the clients have to pay to re-tell the information over and over again. She presents the facts accurately in court and manages to capture the judge's attention and respect. Her staff are friendly and professional. While all these are great legal services, there is something that Melissa does as well - she cares! She actually cares about the clients and makes the effort to provide more information so that she can empower the clients to make their own decisions. I would definitely recommend her to everyone!

I recently had the privilege of working with Joseph Guirguis to establish a power of attorney, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. His expertise and professionalism made the entire process seamless and stress-free. He was incredibly attentive to my specific needs and time constraints. He listened carefully to my concerns and tailored the power of attorney to suit my unique situation. Moreover, he handled the entire process with the utmost professionalism and integrity. He was transparent about the costs involved and ensured there were no surprises, which I greatly appreciated. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking assistance with a power of attorney.

I recently used the Zimmet Law Group to help me with my estate planning needs. I had the pleasure to work with Andrew Pace and I must say, that I felt supported and accompanied every step of the way by Andrew and his team. Every step of the process was promptly and thoroughly explained. Andrew took the time to listen to my concerns and provided clear and concise answers to each and every one of my many questions. The documents I needed were produced rapidly and the signing of the trust was a breeze.

After my 5-year-old son sustained a head injury at school due to negligence, I turned to Mr. Scott Gilman for help. The incident not only terrified me but also caused my son significant trauma. As a mother, all I want is for my child to be safe, and schools have a responsibility to ensure that safety. Mr. Scott Gilman advocated tirelessly for my son’s right to justice, even when my case was initially dismissed by many. He was thorough, dedicated, and kept me informed every step of the way. Such commitment and compassion are rare, and his hard work ultimately led to a successful outcome. I am deeply grateful to have found someone so passionate about fighting for my child’s well-being. Mr. Scott Gilman is someone I trust completely and would recommend without hesitation.

I reached out to Cari for legal assistance after my ex-husband served me with expanded demands for an out-of-state visitation agreement for our teenage daughter. At the time, I had full physical/legal custody and my daughter was against the proposed travel schedule. Cari was a fierce advocate for both of us. She expertly managed a tense situation with compassion and strength. She stayed level-headed and expertly navigated negotiations no matter what the other side threw at us. From day one, I felt very taken care of and knew I could count on her to respond to all of my questions and keep me well-informed. Cari always took the time to explain the situation to me and the pros and cons of different paths we could take. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, she helped me feel empowered and secure. My daughter and I are in a better place now because of Cari and I encourage anyone in a similar situation to work with Rincker Law. I will always be grateful for Cari’s strategic abilities, attentiveness and interpersonal skills.

Diana is not only great attorney, but also makes very wise moves in terms of painting crystal clear to the Judge, and court authorities. I have found her when I was hopeless, and I have been literally desperate to find a right, knowledgeable Counselor who addresses my issues. When I met with her other party already had run off with the minors, we had no clue where they could be, I have had consulted a lot of attorneys, each of them were saying different things, in fact one of them encouraged me to move the state where other party could be regarding the piece of information I have had. So Diana was a right help who is very empathic, professional, attentively handles the matters. My case has come to point where I used to pray for. I'm very glad, and grateful that my path has crossed with her at some point, and I had a honour to be represented by her. Thank you Diana!

When I called, Alex immediately responded to my vehicle inquiry and sorrows surrounding the repairs. After providing him with all the purchase documents and repair documents he was able to tell me that I definitely had a breach of warranty case against the manufacturer. It took some time (dealing with a large motor company) but they eventually paid for my lack of use of the car (always in the shop) and also paid for the lawyer fees. Alex was able to help me win my settlement. I would have had no idea where to start. If this happens to anyone around me I'd tell them to call Alex. Very helpful and professional!

I had the most incredible experience being a client at Hamilton Clarke. Phil, in particular, not only handled my case with the utmost grace and professionalism, he also gave me the confidence in knowing that I had the support that I needed. Through every step of my legal case, I trusted that Phil, as well as other members of the firm were really there for me. They were easily accessible, made sure I fully understood what my process would look like, and fully committed to seeing things through for me. During one of the most toughest times that I've experienced in my life, Phil brought so much positivity to a situation that seemed so negative at the time. I was represented by not only an amazing attorney, but a very thorough, sharp, compassionate, go the extra mile human being, that I recommend to anyone who needed support. Thank you for all of your help on my case!

Phil is one excellent lawyer. He helped me get out and resolve a complex legal matter that lasted for several years. Once Phil was on the case I saw results and the issue got resolved. Phil is not only a brilliant attorney, sharp and always on point but he is also a great guy and I always feel confident when he handles my legal affairs. Alongside Phil I want to mention the entire team and especially Carl Forbes who represented me on a sell of a RE property and did a highly professional work for me! If you want the best service and expertise look no further than Hamilton Clarke! 5 stars in my book.

Collaborating with Adam and his assistant Ishwar made a horrible incident in my life turn out sooth and effortless and I am BEYOND grateful! Honestly, as a person who would have never thought I would’ve needed a lawyer, I dont know how things would have turned out if it weren’t for Adam. He had called me at the right time to take on my case. I was doing alot of calling around town and had just gotten off the phone with one lawyer who had zero confidence in herself , gave me no hope, and was absolutely no help. Adam was the complete opposite. His aggressive and positive efforts assured me that there was light at the end of the tunnel and that everything was going to be okay. He was confident the entirety of my case and was extremely thorough! He made sure no details went untouched and made sense of everything turning my entire case around! I’ll say it again, I am beyond grateful to Adam and his team! I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone who is in need of legal support to come here! The Best of the Best!

I retained Moore Kuehn for a shareholder derivative case after my company stock lost substantial value. Justin Kuehn explained the shareholder derivative process up front and filed our case right away. They kept me updated with the case status and got me an incentive fee. Great firm for a shareholder derivative case!

Oliver represented me over a span of a few years in 2 different matters. He is very honest and straight forward which I appreciated. The staff (Larissa) is extremely attentive and responsive, as Oliver is too. I felt like they actually cared about my family. They’re great! They make a very stressful time less agonizing with clear concise communication. Also they’re available when needed for any urgent issues.

I spoke to Sabra as she had a pleasant smile and demeanor and I was interested in revising my will. I saved her tel. no. and called her when I was ready to work on the will. Sabra was amazing how she helped me with all the details. She carefully covered all the necessary areas that were needed. I would highly recommend Sabra and her Law Group as she is knowledgeable, intelligent, caring, insightful, thoughtful and fair. In essence my experience working with Sabra and Sabra Law Group was top-notch.

I cannot say enough positive about Lisa as an attorney and a person. She tremendously navigated many issues for me, including divorce, child custody, and relocation. I felt that she listened to me and understood what was most important to me and best for my situation and ensured those objectives were front and center and reminded me of what was most important when I got distracted by ancillary difficult issues and emotions. I thought her ability to relate and understand was incredible. She is a very accomplished lawyer with excellent negotiation skills and positive interactions with the judges. I found her deep commitment to me and my case to be phenomenal. I appreciated her candor and ability to cut to the chase. I hold her in the highest regard and would recommend her to anyone that wants someone to fight for what is beat for their client.

Hiring Lisa as my attorney was the second best decision I made in my divorce...after the decision to get divorced. I had initial consultations with 3 attorneys - all came well recommended and were professional. But only Lisa struck me as immediately "getting" the issues with my ex, and she had a specific plan for how to address those issues. She's now represented me for almost 5 years in this matter - through settlement negotiation, trial, and lots of complicated ups and downs in between. She's not fighting for the sake of fighting or racking up a bill. She's realistic - she will tell you when you're wasting your time / money. She'll tell you when you're overreacting. But if you do need to fight, she will have your back and be your fiercest advocate. I recommend her to anyone without reservation.

Divorce is a super challenging experience and I went through a nasty battle while working and dealing with cancer. Lisa was the best friend I needed in my corner. She and her Associate, Matthew Marcus fought tirelessly for me and my daughters. Lisa wasn’t afraid to be frank and honest with me. She pushed me to stand up. Thanks to Lisa and Matt, I was granted full custody of my daughters and more than I would have expected from my settlement. I could not recommend any attorney more highly. Lisa is honest, ethical and hard working. Her team has a level of professionalism rarely seen and they maintain this standard no matter the fight they face. Thanks Lisa and Matt!

My experience with Seth is that he is a very knowledgeable and down to earth attorney. Very responsive to say the least! Due to Seth's expertise, I had an impressively short custody battle. As a father in the family court, I had very little confidence in gaining custody. Seth reassured me that I had a strong case. Seth is an honest attorney who works hard for his clients--he was very precise and detailed in spotting out some not so obvious inconsistencies in my child support case. I’m sure that Seth will ensure the best possible outcome to any type of litigation within the family courts--with the child/children in mind as the priority. Highly recommended!

If NYC chose this woman to be a judge... I thought, gee, I could choose her to be a lawyer. And there are no regrets. Easy going, intelligent, she's a NY City gal, I'm a little upstate, and she went out of her way to meet up when it was important. They don't make them like that, she's a role model in my book.

The straightforward advice and guidance she gave me about handling some of the more challenging planning aspects, like choosing healthcare and power-of-attorney agents, gave me the ability to arrive at the right decision in my own time. If you are seeing a trusts and estates attorney who can understand you and your needs and make sure your planning gets done right, I recommend Bracha.

The United States of America (USA) is known among my Countrymen as the "land of milk and honey." However, obtaining the so-called "status & case " is difficult and time-consuming. Many looked for a chance to process the necessary paperwork. Due to the careful examination and assessment of the provided documents, several failed while others succeeded. After going through the technical process for a few years, I am among those who succeeded. My sincere appreciation to Atty. Moumita who helped me along the way. When it comes to helping people who want to obtain legal status in the United States, Attorney Moumita Rahman is fully aware of the legislation. She is passionate about her work and shows empathy for her clients, qualities that are expected of a top-tier attorney. Her rationality and justifiability demonstrate her capacity for logical thought. As a client, I was satisfied and my interests were protected by her legal strategies. Therefore, I heartily endorse Atty.Moumita Rahman and her Team. this law firm have done an Explicit Job. particular to others who wish to receive the same value-added services that I did.

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.
