Carla was an amazing attorney and my saving Grace! She helped me turn things around in my case! She was professional and stern, honest and so very helpful to me and my situation. There were several delays due to things beyond our control, but when it came down to it, she pushed this case to get settled and I can’t thank her enough for all she did! She guided me through deposition, court hearing and so much more! If you need a good honest attorney, I highly recommended her!

Carla was amazing! I was unfamiliar with the process of getting a divorce and Carla walked me through everything. She's a go-getter and extremely knowledgeable in the field! She's highly respected and will tell you like it is. My ex didn't want to give me a dime after being married for 10 years. Carla was able to get me what was rightfully mine. The process of divorce is mentally draining, but Carlas strength and passion also helped me personally through the process. I came out of my divorce feeling strength I'd never felt before and a huge portion of that was due to Carla! GO WITH CARLA!

We finally have say so about what goes on with my child and I have my child almost half the year. I finally feel like I can be a parent to her! Kellie is an amazing lawyer and is upfront about the whole situation. I could not recommend her enough!

I was in an accident in September 2024 and had a complicated case... while I contacted other attorneys in the area, I was met with disrespect and told my case wasn't worth the time... I was being discarded left and right...until... I CALLED GREG DENNEY! Greg immediately took control of my case by contacting my doctors and chiropractor alongside the overbearing insurance company. Due to this accident, I am left with a lifelong, non-surgical injury that will affect me and the many activities I enjoy in everyday life (going to the gym, horseback riding, etc.) and Greg made that known to the insurance company. He made sure that MY health and well-being were the main priority and that I was in good and safe hands the entire time my case was open. His office stays in constant contact with you throughout your case, and they make sure they are on top of getting you what you need! (PLUS, all of his staff is ALWAYS friendly, kind, and helpful!) If you need an accident/injury attorney, don't call anyone else in the Tulsa area, CALL GREG DENNEY LAW!

My name is Susan Wolf and my husband and I used Mitchell Garrett for our personal bankruptcy. Mr. Garrett and his legal secretary were both great to deal with. We live about 65 miles from Tulsa, Ok., and we got a lot of work accomplished on the telephone, and emails. When we went for the first meeting with Mr. Garrett and his legal secretary it went extremely well. Both were professional and made us feel welcome. Mr. Garrett was so helpful in explaining everything to us, as this was the first time we've done a bankruptcy. He is very smart and knows the law on bankruptcy very well. I would recommend Mr. Garrett to anyone who needs the services he offers. We are glad it all went so well. Thanks Mr. Garrett.

One phone call to this firm and I was all in. The staff was top notch experienced and did everything for me. They assured me to take it easy and they will take care of all the madness, which they fulfilled and then some. The resolution from Anderson & Associates was more than expected and justified. With reassurance from my attorney Lynn Anderson, I no longer have fear of what I experienced the day of my wreck.

After searching for best DUI attorney for my friend we came across Graham. Put a retainer down. Parson showed up to every court date. Pushed dates out for a while, for which we are thankful rest was just a joke! If you are wanting to be pushed and talked into guilty plea on all counts, hire him immediately. Mr. Graham I heard you are very prideful man hopefully having your name on this case doesn't hurt. Wish you could have actually represented my friend in court as it was planed. Reply: "Ill-informed," "clueless," "should be thankful?" Very narcissistic way to address a negative review. Thank you for the reminder of his 20, 19, 18 and 13 year old cases, which were ether deffered or dismissed. We didn't realize you prefer to work with clients with no prior offenses. Our apologies. My review still stands. Hired Graham, Parsons showed up to every court date. Grahams name is one the case. We are very disappointed with outcome especially after consulting with several attorneys after.

I contacted Harold after my now ex wife walked away from the marital residence and left our children with me. This divorce took 1 year and Harold became very personal with me and took the time to get to know me personally. He went above and beyond to protect my assets and listened to my fears and walked me through any and all questions I had regarding a divorce. Harold went above and beyond with everything he did especially with a high conflict divorce with 3 children involved. I would highly recommend Harold Thompson to anyone in need of a divorce lawyer. I know what people think, "Lawyers are lawyers". But I could literally reach Mr. Thompson any day of the week if it was important enough. He brought to the table a level of professionalism and more importantly, "Integrity", which is something of a pipe dream nowadays. Harold is honest and will tell you the harsh truth when It needs to be said to you. He knows when to push and when to back off. I respect him for that. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to represent me in the courtroom and honestly consider him a friend now. He fought for me insanely hard and I couldn't have asked for more! God bless you Mr. Thompson.

My wife took my daughter and left me devastated. I called 7 different attorneys and 5 of them were just cold robots who only cared about telling me how much they cost and how little time I had to tell them about my case. At my lowest point while waiting for a call back, Attorney Harold Thompson called me. One of the reputable law firms I contacted were booked and so passed my information onto Harold. Harold Thompson consoled me first and made me feel as though he was sitting right next to me. He then listened to my case for as long as I needed him to and then told me he how he would fight for me as hard or as long as I needed him to. He did not try to nickle and dime me like the other attorneys and informed me of his FLAT rate and worked with me on payment options. His process to get things started was straight forward and to the point. He started working immediately and was more knowledgeable and more insightful than other attorneys. He professionally communicated with my wife and then back with me and was able to determine that divorce and a custody battle would be extreme at this point. Other attorneys would had just thought how they could keep money flowing into their pockets. Harold on the other hand recommended a less costly option. Communication had opened back up with me and my wife and my family is back together now thanks to Harold's involvement. Harold Thompson is not just a wonderful attorney but a caring and understanding person who is devoted to helping people and not destroying families.

He has been a very bad example of how the attorney clie t relationship should be I do not recommend him I think he has too many irons in the fire. I think he should choose lawyer, judge, or representing oklahomans bc he is not doing anyone a great service. Less is more. Except for court dates he should show up cuz he's been paid in full.

My experience with Tai Stevenson is awesome. He is highly professional, amiable, accommodating and willing to help. Furthermore, he is a very meticulous person, always crossing his "T"'s and dotting his "I"'s. He does not leave anything to chance, he checks, cross checks and constantly calls to make sure that there are no mistakes. I can go on and on. I would not hesitate to refer anyone that has immigration issues to him. I will take him to the bank any day and anytime.

Every question was answered, every phone call or text was responded to in a timely manner and he instilled so much confidence in the process. I was really anxious for nothing. Even a couple of follow up calls assured me all was in place and some advice as to what not to do. If I could give more stars I would.

Aaron Compton was fantastic to work with. When I had an unjustified lawsuit brought against me, he stepped in as my council and handled it masterfully. He did his research to familiarize himself with the plaintiff's past litigious behaviors and knew exactly what to expect. On the day of court, Aaron came with a plan A, B, or C based on what direction the plaintiff chose to push the issue, and he was fully prepared for each scenario. Luckily, only plan A was needed, and the plaintiff skulked away, dismissed the suit, and will likely re-think the way they do business going forward. I have the utmost gratitude for Mr. Compton for representing me with his legal expertise, knowledge of human behavior, his tenacity, and overall genuine desire to see my legal rights and property protected. Highly recommend!

I was made confident once I saw Mr. Richard Moore's passion in my case. I felt right away this is a man that will fight the battles that I don't have the tools for. I felt very confident about my choice and at the end it turned out to be a great choice. Thank you Stange Law firm. And thank you Mr. Richard Moore.

I have hired Richie in the past for custody issues and the outcome was good. I felt very taken care of. Here I am again, dealing with custody issues with my 15 year old daughter, after my ex abandoned our other daughter at the age of 16, because he just couldn't handle her. Now he wants full custody of my baby. Richie is very understanding and thorough. His assistant, Rachel, is super sweet and has walked me through the discovery process this time. I'm very thankful for her and her understanding my difficulty in answering some of the questions and helping me find answers. I hope I never need a lawyer again, but if I do, I'd call Richie! Thank you guys so much for your help ❤️

Michelle was recommended to me, by a coworker in my US military unit. He said that she represented him very well, in his divorce case. I am thankful that Michelle accepted my case. (By the way, she has a great staff, as well.) I was going through an unwanted divorce, after 30+ yrs of marriage. Michelle listened well, understood the situations, and coached me on options. I told Michelle that I did not want to be vengeful or hurtful toward my wife, and Michelle understood, and helped me navigate that path. The divorce was dragging on, and she helped create some forward momentum, to get the process going again. She negotiated some great wins for me, in the divorce process, helping greatly my financial future. Michelle is a "go-getter", with "bulldog tenacity". She is fast-paced and aggressive (in a good sense), and was honest with me, when I needed that kind of coaching. She is fair and sensitive, and is dedicated in working towards a favorable solution for her client. The mediation process was an interesting experience, but again, Michelle represented me well through that, as well! I'm a 30yr veteran of the military, and recognize people who are skilled, and do their jobs well. Michelle is one of those people! I highly recommend her!!!

Michelle was appointed to my divorce case and almost acted as a second attorney for my ex wife. Her bias was beyond obvious to all parties. Not only did she defend my ex wife’s marijuana use in court (a violation of the temporary order), she also discarded a failed alcohol test after her weekend with the kids and ignored every single concern I had about the kids well being, both mentally and physically. Michelle is a disgrace to her profession. If she is assigned your case, fight it as hard as you can. Your kids will thank you one day!

I hired Ms. Gragg after dismissing my previous attorney for misrepresentation and failure to keep me informed with my case in March 2016, and paid services upon agreement. Ms Gragg started off carrying and concerned for my needs. She was able to pick up well where the previous attorney left off and was able to keep us from having to go to trial. Both parties were ready to settle in April 2016. but neither myself or teh respondents attorney were able to get in contact with Ms Gragg. I finally made contact with Ms. Gragg the weekend before our next court date in July 2016 in which she informed me she was out of town on vacation. She failed to show up to court that following Monday, although we did have a scheduled meeting at the defendants attorneys office, however the respondents attorney did show up to court. Both parties agreed to terms and Ms Gragg was suppose to have the divorce decree draft to me Thursday that same week but failed to do so. After numerous calls, text, and emails I was finally able to get a copy of the decree 2 weeks later and one was finally sent to the respondents attorney in August. Additional literature was added to the decree that was not mentioned in our meeting, so it was not signed. Both myself and the tried contacting Ms Gragg and no returned calls to myself or the respondents attorney. Ms Gragg's phone often goes to a prerecorded message that stats she is not accepting calls at this time. She does not return calls as per her voicemail within 24 to 48 hours (when she does have a voicemail active), she does not return text messages (as she stated her preferred choice of communication), and she does not respond to emails. It is now October and we have court today, I am still not able to contact Ms Gragg. I am now faced with either having the respondents attorney draft the paperwork in which case I will have to pray Ms Gragg can show up to read it and make sure everything is correct to finalize the divorce, fire Ms Gragg and take the chances on my own that all the legal paperwork is worded correctly, or hire another attorney costing me further money.

Hired Mrs. Gragg March. Seemed capable and supportive, willing to get the job done. Paid services asap, submitted all documents she needed fast and quickly. Waited and inquired about paperwork regarding termination of parental rights to be filed and child support filed. She answered and stated all work had been submitted. I called late April nothing had been turned in, continued to call her. She stated they may have lost work she would turn it in again. Called again in May nothing was on file in Oklahoma. Called her continuously until she finally answered said she will submit again and send me copy. Court order was submitted that May when I repeatedly asked her, nothing to DHS still.... Paperwork pending still at court, cannot get a hold of her by phone or emails. Can't hire another lawyer or do anything. Upset single mother paid and saved money to hire her thinking she was proficient and seemed very caring. Nothing still no word no call back... Pending and upset... June 2016 ....

I acquired Mrs. Gregg's services in November 2014. Here we are in July 2015 and I have had zero resolution to my case. Unfortunately, I live in another state and trusted Mrs. Gregg with a visitation battle for my daughter. Before obtaining her legal services Mrs. Gregg reassured me several times that she was a perfect fit for my circumstances. Mrs. Gregg did create the motion in January of 2015 but did not file it with the court after promising to do so. I have not had any correspondence from Mrs.Gregg since April of 2015. I have emailed, called, and text her office with no response. Do yourself a favor and find reputable lawyer because this practice is fair from professional.

I contacted Jason in July 2023 to get my POA and trust documents written to have available for my son whenever I pass away. I paid in full (his rule - now I know why). He got the documents to me in August (I believe). I contacted him on 9/1 for two blank forms from one of the documents so I could type up what I wanted on them. He offered to get that done for me. I emailed 5 times, text, and called the office and his cell. I finally received the complete 4 documents again on 12/27/23 (almost four months later!); two of which had the wrong names on them. I contacted him immediately and informed him; and had to email another 4 times. Jason kept blaming ME for this taking so long (you could have called; you could have text). I DID these things; he never responded until I told him he was fired and I would be finding a competent attorney. I received the "corrected" documents 3/11/24; two documents had an incorrect address; one document had my name misspelled; and there were other typos. Last week, he text me that he would issue me a partial refund. This week, he is refusing me any refund.

If you intentions are to maintain or gain custody of your child or children DO NOT USE Jason Lile as your Attorney. He is just there to take your money. Mr. Lile wasn't very professional leading up to court, and was extremely outclassed in the court room by opposing counsel. I realize that there are a lot of us out that this may be your first time hiring a attorney. The truth is you don't know what you don't know until it happens and you wished you were represented by the type of attorney who advised you properly and was working in your best interest. Please don't make the same mistake I made in choosing Mr. Lile expecting him to be that type of attorney because he is not, you will lose your kids no matter if your a great mother or father with his representation.

So it goes like this. Marijuana possession case. Mark speaks to me like I'm a child. Sets up a court date. The court "loses" my documents. I showed up to 5 separate appearances at which I was simply rescheduled. 4 of which nether he nor his representation appeared at all. Yes I was left alone! 3 times! In court! Then, turns out he literally couldn't do anything about my case anyway and neither could his paralegals, whom by the way didn't even know my name! Ridiculous. If you want to waste your money, how these people. "An attorney you can count on" to sit at home and do nothing while you have to represent yourself. I found out that he evidently is a truck driver now because he's a terrible lawyer. Go figure.

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.
