Integrity, professional, responsive and fair !! I could not give a higher recommendation for Rik Lovett. His ethical approach to a difficult job when you are dealing with the most trying of times was impeccable. He was always up-front in discussing the realities of divorce and constantly kept the ultimate goals of the case in focus. Rik's paralegals are also top-notch in assisting with your case. The fee structure was fair, and the expertise and experience Rik provides is invaluable. I found Rik extremely easy to communicate with. Look as much as you like, but you would be hard pressed to find his equal.

Richard and his team really listened to try and understand my situation early on which was huge for me. They worked diligently to ensure that I was awarded 50/50 custody of my children which was my main goal in contacting his firm. If you are in need of an divorce attorney, I’d highly recommend giving Richard a call!

We have been working with Jack for a few months now and are extremely happy with his services. Although our case is still on going, we feel comfortable to give him this 5 stars review based on the work he has done for us so far. Jack is honest and efficient with his hours. He is also patient, reassuring and great at explaining things, and from what I have seen, excellent at pleading as well. I would highly recommend him as an attorney!

Divorce is a challenging process, particularly when children are involved. I engaged Attorney Keicha Patel to assist with my divorce, child custody, and equitable distribution matters. She has performed exceptionally well thus far. If you require an experienced family lawyer, I highly recommend Attorney Keicha Patel.

Jack Taggert of Mclleveen Law Firm has gone above and beyond to assist me on my custody matter. My first lawyer didn’t do so well and when I reached out to Jack I had honestly lost faith in getting my daughter back in my life. After working with Jack the past few months my faith is restored, he has done a great job negotiating and fighting on my behalf. All fighting fathers deserve legal counsel as professional as Jack, he’s a family man, a man of faith, and I’ve felt comfortable having him handle the most sensitive issue in my life. Big thanks to Jack and Tina for all their help.

I can not say enough great things about Susan and Sandlin Law Firm. I was referred to this firm when I moved here in 2016 while going through an ugly divorce. I have used Susan for the past 7 years and have referred her to friends that need a knowledgeable attorney who will have their back.
Susan listens to the needs of her clients and truly advocates for them. I was (and still am) navigating through all the “yuck” of divorce and Co-parenting and because of Susan, I feel supported. I would not want anyone else to fight for me. Susan genuinely cares for her clients!

Cannot say enough good things about Mr. Epstein and the team at Poyner Spruill. Divorce is the hardest, and having a communicative, concise and passionate attorney to help you through the process is crucial - and often too rare. My situation was unique in many ways, and Mr. Epstein was able to navigate it with aplomb and allow me to gain safety in a complicated and painful circumstance. Highly recommend.

Hiring Steve Epstein to help me with the many issues that I was facing regarding a very complicated and messy divorce that included a wide array of valuable assets-- a very successful company, multiple homes, expensive cars, dozens of accounts of all types, in addition to his help in regards to custody, a DWI case, being in a 5 week coma, and steering me out of significant life or death substance abuse issues, was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Steve is a zealous advocate for his clients. He is also a brilliant strategist, and his organizational skills and preparedness were top caliber. Simply put, I honestly do not even know if I would alive to write this review if it wasn't for Steve. He has also been a great mentor, and has helped me in understanding how to be a better father for my little girl, and a better person overall. I will forever be grateful for having him by my side during the darkest, most tumultuous time of my life. He is as good at what he does as anyone I have ever met.
Thank you, Steve!

Steve is a real professional at all he does, particularly Family Law. He is my MVP. His credentials reflect his many accomplishments in his life. He is someone who commands respect which makes him a great advocate as a Family Law Lawyer. We had a large and complex financial structure that Steve was able to simplify, communicate and equitably divide in cooperation with my ex and her attorney, applying the Family Law regulations and guidelines objectively and fairly. He made a difficult process easier, minimizing emotions and drama and calmly staying focused on facts and details and rules of law. I am grateful I was referred to Steve and recommend him as your Family Law lawyer.

As lawyers go, Alan Schneider is a ROCK STAR! He helped me with a legal matter that I will forever be grateful. For many years, he took my calls and read my emails yet never charged me.
I've known quite a few lawyers and Alan stands above them all. He should be in a lawyer's Hall of Fame. Warm, friendly and smart as a whip are just a few adjectives I'd use to describe him. I'll never forget what he did for me. To quote a line from the movie Jerry McGuire, Alan is "my ambassador of Quan!"
God bless Alan Schneider and his law firm.

A few weeks before moving out of state, I was served with papers for custody of my then 8 month old son (an arrangement my son’s father and I had both previously agreed to). We did not have a written custody agreement and the baby had stayed with me full time. I was unaware anything was being filed until I was served by the sheriff while I was at work (I’m a full time Pediatric emergency department RN). Once the shock factor wore off, panic set in. North Carolina was a state where I had no family and was by all means meant to be a temporary stay. Before meeting Amy, other lawyers refused to hear me out and told me to settle, as I was bound to lose in court. I refused to accept being trapped in a state where I had no connections and upon meeting Amy, I realized she wouldn’t let me either. From day one I felt supported and although she warned me any relocation case would be an “uphill battle” she never stopped fighting to reunite my son and I with our family in our home state. Amy is personable, professional, and has a good relationship with the court as well as other attorneys. Without her expertise, approach, knowledge of the law, and attention to detail, I truly believe I’d still be fighting for my rights to come home with my son. Amy and her team sorted through thousands of text messages and pictures to develop a portfolio for my defense. I’d 100% recommend Amy. She not only met my expectations as a lawyer, she exceeded them.

My personal experience with Nancy was phenomenal. She always listened and provided honest, transparent information about my options and our path through the separation/divorce process. Nancy was always responsive to my questions and needs. She routinely kept me informed and provided all legal documents I would need for the future. Although the process was filled with anxiety and stress, Nancy and her paralegal, Erin, made the process smooth and eased my anxiety and stress. I would highly recommend Nancy for your family law needs.

Nancy Grace and her paralegal Erin were excellent handling my QDRO after my previous attorney messed things up. Their communications and work were clear and efficient. Even though Nancy is not the cheapest attorney, she made most of the time that was charged. I only wish Nancy Grace had represented me through my divorce. It would have costed a lot less. I am glad I listened to recommendations from other attorneys to work with Nancy.

Nancy Grace took care of everything!
She had the knowledge and experience to guide me through my difficult divorce. My Ex did not want to give me alimony and we had to fight an almost 2 year battle. But we prevailed and I am able to live comfortable now versus my fear of struggling to get by! She was able to calm me down when I was upset, talk me down when I felt like I couldn't go on, and lift me up when I was defeated.

I met Daphne Edwards and her staff in the midst of a high-conflict custody battle. There are no words to describe how amazing Daphne and her staff truly are!
High conflict cases can become lengthy and contentious. Daphne and her staff were attentive and supportive to our case from day one. Daphne guided us through the entire process, set expectations on what to expect during the process, helped us to stay focused on key issues and stayed in contact with us to update us on any developments as we neared our trial date.
From start to finish, Daphne and her staff knocked this out of the park! Daphne was thoroughly prepared for our trial and represented us better than we could have ever asked for! She is brilliant, strategic, attentive and has the ability to maintain a graceful level of integrity even when the opposing counsel does not.
We are forever grateful to have Daphne and her staff in our lives!
I highly recommend Daphne Edwards and her staff to anyone who is unfortunately going through a divorce and/or custody battle. Those are the times you need supportive people around you. People who listen and will fight for you. You will not find better than Daphne Edwards.

I had an incredible experience with Jennifer Sinclair Simpkins as my attorney! I came to her after spending over five months with another lawyer who made no progress on my case. From the moment I consulted with Jennifer, I knew I was in the right hands. She’s incredibly smart, strategic, and doesn’t waste a second of your time. Jennifer is also realistic while being optimistic, without any of the extra “fluff”.
She quickly assessed my situation, mapped out a clear plan, and took decisive action. What felt stagnant for months was resolved efficiently and effectively once she stepped in. I couldn’t be more impressed with her professionalism, sharpness, and ability to get things done. If you’re looking for an attorney who delivers results and truly has your back, I highly recommend Jennifer. Forever grateful for my experience with her!

As someone who unfortunately has had to deal with 4-5 lawyers in the few years this was by far my absolute worst experience with any attorney/firm. Can’t recommend enough to get a different consult and get better advice, would never work with them again.
The strategy here seems to be to take clients to court and to drag things out as long as possible to wrack up billable hours. From this from I paid over $10k for a divorce case that almost went to trial, until the firm was late on giving me needed disclosures to complete - when I changed attorneys almost instantly got the case out of court and saved a ton of money and got what I wanted.
Attorneys here couldn’t seem to care less, they are arrogant and will give you bad informaron to keep your case going to trial. Total waste and huge regret wasting any time and money here.

I got into a bind and was reluctant at first because of prices. I saw Mrs . Lacy H online and after already seeing great reviews I decided to reach out via email to discuss my case. Mrs. Lacy was very understanding and was very willing to negotiate my price as well being that I could have well spent over 1,000 is dollars I ended up paying only roughly 5-7 hundred. After a few emails back and forth she was very straightforward and helpful regarding possible outcomes and reassuring me every step of the way and showing up promptly to my case.

It has been an honor and privilege to have Sonya Dubree represent me for 2+ years throughout my divorce process. I am deeply grateful for her expertise, compassion, and dedication.
Sonya's partnership with Tharrington Smith (THS), alongside Steven Mansbery's representation, allowed them to expertly manage my divorce case, including the complex business and financial aspects involved. Their exceptional efforts led to favorable outcomes, including temporary spousal support, successful contempt motions and orders, attorney’s fees, and alimony. Although delays were unavoidable due to the defendant’s non-compliance and intentional obstruction—even in defiance of court orders—Sonya and Steven navigated these challenges with remarkable skill and professionalism, ultimately securing significant victories on my behalf.
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Sonya, Steven, Monica, and Carolynn for their outstanding work during my alimony trial. Sonya’s opening statement was deeply compelling, compassionate, and credible, showcasing her commitment to my best interests. She excelled in cross-examinations and demonstrated genuine care and understanding when questioning me. Steven’s dedication, exceptional handling of expert witnesses, and strong expertise in complex financial analysis were invaluable in addressing the business, accounting, and economic aspects of my case, giving me confidence in his advocacy. I also appreciated Carolynn’s support throughout the hearing; her presence made a meaningful difference, strengthening our case. Together, they navigated the defendant’s tactics with finesse and crafted expertly tailored filings.
The diligence and commitment of the THS team have not gone unnoticed, and I am sincerely grateful for all they have done for me. I feel truly fortunate to have had their representation. Throughout this process, I developed a strong bond with Sonya, who not only fought tirelessly on my behalf but also kept me grounded, providing both expert legal guidance and compassionate support. She is an exceptional attorney and a wonderful person, and I am deeply thankful for her. Despite the frustrations—particularly with the defendant’s failure to substantiate financial claims and expenses—Sonya and her team offered me something invaluable: hope for the future and a sense of peace as this chapter nears its close.

Kris has been an exceptional lawyer guiding me through many aspects of my divorce process.
During my selection process Kris quickly distinguished himself as someone who cared about coming to the best possible outcome based on the circumstances of the case and his personal moral and ethical values and believes.
Kris has throughout the whole process fought for my best interests without ever compromising his ethical standards. He diligently pushed for a collaborative approach trying to achieve win/win scenarios for all involved. He tried his best to keep our divorce outside the courtroom and attempted to guide us to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. When eventually we ended up having to go to court, he came with clear and focused strategies for each court date. Kris was able to give me guidance based on his experience working with other families going through similar challenges, his knowledge of the court system and cases like ours, his deep knowledge of the law, and his experience in working with other stakeholders in family law.
Kris has throughout the entire process been very professional while always understanding the human aspects of the challenges we were facing and has gone out of his way to accommodate my needs. With respect to all legal fees and billing, Kris has continuously informed me of benefits, risks, and costs of every aspect of our approach so I could make informed decisions. All billing by Kris and his team has been very fair and he has always been considerate of containing my costs where it was possible and made sense.
I have a deep appreciations for Kris both on a personal and professional level. I would highly recommend Kris to anyone going through a separation and who doesn’t want to lose their sanity or integrity in the process.

I got into a bind and was reluctant at first because of prices. I saw Mrs . Lacy H online and after already seeing great reviews I decided to reach out via email to discuss my case. Mrs. Lacy was very understanding and was very willing to negotiate my price as well being that I could have well spent over 1,000 is dollars I ended up paying only roughly 5-7 hundred. After a few emails back and forth she was very straightforward and helpful regarding possible outcomes and reassuring me every step of the way and showing up promptly to my case. I felt very validated. Thanks for helping me get the best outcome for my case .

It has been an honor and privilege to have Sonya Dubree represent me for 2+ years throughout my divorce process. I am deeply grateful for her expertise, compassion, and dedication.
Sonya's partnership with Tharrington Smith (THS), alongside Steven Mansbery's representation, allowed them to expertly manage my divorce case, including the complex business and financial aspects involved. Their exceptional efforts led to favorable outcomes, including temporary spousal support, successful contempt motions and orders, attorney’s fees, and alimony. Although delays were unavoidable due to the defendant’s non-compliance and intentional obstruction—even in defiance of court orders—Sonya and Steven navigated these challenges with remarkable skill and professionalism, ultimately securing significant victories on my behalf.
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Sonya, Steven, Monica, and Carolynn for their outstanding work during my alimony trial. Sonya’s opening statement was deeply compelling, compassionate, and credible, showcasing her commitment to my best interests. She excelled in cross-examinations and demonstrated genuine care and understanding when questioning me. Steven’s dedication, exceptional handling of expert witnesses, and strong expertise in complex financial analysis were invaluable in addressing the business, accounting, and economic aspects of my case, giving me confidence in his advocacy. I also appreciated Carolynn’s support throughout the hearing; her presence made a meaningful difference, strengthening our case. Together, they navigated the defendant’s tactics with finesse and crafted expertly tailored filings.
The diligence and commitment of the THS team have not gone unnoticed, and I am sincerely grateful for all they have done for me. I feel truly fortunate to have had their representation. Throughout this process, I developed a strong bond with Sonya, who not only fought tirelessly on my behalf but also kept me grounded, providing both expert legal guidance and compassionate support. She is an exceptional attorney and a wonderful person, and I am deeply thankful for her. Despite the frustrations—particularly with the defendant’s failure to substantiate financial claims and expenses—Sonya and her team offered me something invaluable: hope for the future and a sense of peace as this chapter nears its close.

I feel extremely fortunate to have chosen AT Debnam and the Mueller Law Firm to represent me during my recent divorce. Not only did everyone treat me with exceptional professionalism at all times, they also made me feel more of a friend and less of a client. During such a difficult emotional time this meant a great deal. They not only excel at all legal aspects, but they also understand the personal turmoil involved. It was truly appreciated. AT was just magnificent at handling my specific case. Thoroughly prepared always, of course, and wholly focused on what was best for me. One of her greatest strengths, in my opinion, was her capacity to give me strong, rational advice and then listen to me when I perhaps wanted to do something a little different. This shows that she cares about the person and their situation first and foremost. Who wouldn’t want that when going through this ordeal? This sets her apart. From the professional approach to the personal touch, I could not recommend anyone higher than AT and my entire experience with the firm as a whole was exceptional.

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:
-
What experience do you have with child custody cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, especially if your case involves complex issues like domestic violence, relocation, or paternity disputes. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees for certain services, or requires a retainer, and ask for an estimate of the total cost. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and expected outcomes. -
How long will the process take?
Inquire about the expected timeline from filing the petition to reaching an agreement or going to trial. -
Will you personally handle my case?
Ensure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court. -
Can we pursue mediation or alternative dispute resolution?
Ask whether the lawyer recommends mediation or other forms of dispute resolution to avoid a lengthy court battle.
How to Check the Credibility of a Child Custody Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable child custody lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and experience:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for family law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in family law and child custody cases.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge the lawyer’s professionalism and success in child custody matters.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on custody cases.
- Check for certifications: Look for lawyers who are board-certified in family law or have memberships in organizations like the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) or local family law sections.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a child custody lawyer, come prepared with relevant documents and information:
- Court orders or existing custody agreements: Bring copies of any existing custody or visitation orders for the lawyer to review.
- Communication with the other parent: Provide copies of emails, texts, or letters regarding custody, visitation, or disputes.
- List of your child’s needs: Prepare a list of your child’s specific needs, such as medical care, education, and extracurricular activities.
- Timeline of the case: Outline key events related to your custody case, including changes in living situations or parental involvement.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions about the custody process, legal fees, and the lawyer’s strategy for your case.
By being well-prepared, you can help the lawyer assess your situation effectively and receive the best possible advice for protecting your rights and your child’s well-being.
