My experience with Anton Vialtsin was exceptional. I was facing serious felony charges and thankfully with Mr.Anton Vialtsin was able to get my case dismissed. He explained everything to me in detail and terms I could easily understand, I left feeling more at ease after our first meeting. Mr.Anton Vialtsin experience, expert knowledge of the law and the legal system was truly illustrated by the way he handled my case, and excellent support, guidance, and personal care he gave me during a very challenging time. If you are looking for a Great Lawyer, I highly recommend Lawstache Law Firm.

In a highly emotional and tense environment, Scott provided an environment where he supported the process by keeping us focused on the issues. Specifically, what I appreciated about Scott's approach was that he would explain what would typically happen in court, what would be arguable in court, what typically happens in mediation, and what were standard topics to be negotiated in mediation. Several times, we were close to moving away from mediation and going to court, which would have been an extreme waste of money in our case. Scott continuously tried to keep it on track to close out the process.
I strongly recommend Scott as a mediator.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my attorney, Vera Livingstone. She has been a true advocate for me during a very difficult and emotional time. Her professionalism and competence, especially when navigating complex and challenging situations, are unmatched. Vera helped me secure primary physical custody of my son, an outcome I am forever grateful for. She also represented me in a trial to validate a transmutation that my son’s father was contesting, and she handled everything with such grace and skill.
What stands out the most is Vera’s empathy and compassion. She truly cares about her clients and understands the human side of family law. Knowing she was on my side, guiding me every step of the way, gave me the confidence and peace of mind I needed.
Her team is equally impressive—her staff and paralegal are responsive, professional, and always ready to assist. Together, they make a powerhouse team that I trust completely. I couldn’t have asked for better representation, and I’m forever grateful to Vera for all her hard work and dedication.
If you’re looking for a family law attorney who is not only highly capable but also truly cares about you and your family’s well-being, I wholeheartedly recommend Vera Livingstone

Vera Livingstone went above and beyond representing me in a custody battle with my ex-wife. My situation seemed a little more complex than the usual with my ex disappearing for 5 years and moving constantly to avoid being held accountable by the court system, then resurfacing with the goal of regaining visitation. Vera immediately dove into my extensive file, making herself familiar with all the back and forth that had happened previously. She gave me sound advice and detailed a clear path on the best way to move forward. Through all the ups and downs, Vera performed brilliantly, always advocating for the best interests of my children. I can’t thank her enough for her hard work and dedicated commitment to my case. If you are looking for a true professional who will be honest with you and fight to ensure your voice is heard, SHE IS THE ONE FOR YOU!

I came to Embry Law with a pretty difficult case that I thought could not be won. Mr. Embry and his ENTIRE team really fought hard for me! They were very understanding with how difficult my situation was. They were straightforward with me throughout my entire case but always so empathetic. Embry Law won my case! I am so grateful and blessed to have gone with Embry Law. Mr. Embry and his entire team know what they are doing! If you are looking for some great lawyers to kick butt… then you’re in the right place!

I consulted with Abby when I was in a tough spot facing a divorce and restraining order. When a couple other lawyers pretty much dismissed me, Abby took the time to look at my case and point a way forward, and showed me a fighting spirit that I was lacking at the time. She's going to work for you and fight for you, and that's what you want when you're doing this.

I can't say enough to the professionalism of Mellman and Mellman. From the very beginning, they were considerate and understanding of our situation. We had open and honest conversations regarding our case, through prompt phone calls and emails, which we deeply appreciated.
We are also extremely grateful to Ms.Sarah Shankel, Associate Attorney, who worked tirelessly for our family. She helped us to resolve our case in a fair manner. We will always, always be indebted to her.
So if you are looking for a law firm with heart and the desire for justice, call Mellman and Mellman. You will not be disappointed.

After my accident, Richard made sure that I was made whole again. He was professional, reassuring, and timely. He guided me through every step of this process and garnered the extent of the insurance policy. Accidents happen and they can be frightening. It was Morse Injury that gave me the confidence to know I was being taken care of.

I still have a hard time believing it! I was caught between a rock and a hard place! I was either going down for a DUI or assault. I was driving home with my family from a breakfast cruise downtown and when I pulled into my driveway there was a guy screaming at me that I cut him off. After I took him to the ground and gave him a couple of what for’s I let him up and he got back in his truck and proceeded to try and run me over. He eventually left but it was with a couple of new dents on his truck. I casually walked over to my house and got in the shower to clean up. When I got out there was a cop at my door and the guy who rode up on me across the street with another cop. I guess he never left and called the cops on me. You all know how that goes. The one who calls the cops is the one who never goes to jail, so I was screwed at the getgo. The cops question me about my day and like a dummy, I told them about the cruise and the couple of drinks that I had. Next thing I know I’m arrested for DUI and assault. I took it all the way to trial because the DA wasn’t budging. That guy approached me at my house and was the aggressor I was not in the wrong for what I did. I was protecting myself. I saw it one way and the DA saw it another way. When I met Mark he believed in me and jumped all over this to help me out. He gave me a great deal that I could not pass up. You should see this guy at work. He performed flawlessly! He is very calm and uses his words wisely. He walked all over the DA and put them in their place. We won the trial, and eventually he got my case expunged. I highly recommend him! I will never use anybody else but him. LETS GO MARK! THANKS BUDDY!

To say that I highly recommend Maya Pinchman of Ratner and Pinchman doesn't even begin to cover it. I worked with Maya on my father’s estate and she was extremely knowledgeable, proficient, and kind. I was going through a horrific time dealing with my father's illness and countless people who made everything worse, and then I found Maya and she literally saved my father’s estate and me from overwhelming stress. It was an involved case filled with many obstacles and difficult people, and she expertly handled legal matters, and guided and coached me. I will always be grateful to her.

Looking for a divorce lawyer is not easy when you’re in the middle of navigating the actual divorce, where you’re going to live, what your kids are going to be doing, etc.
I feel so thankful that I ended up having a conversation with Andrella last year. From the get go she was being helpful, and the most professional lawyer I’ve met.
She was so great! She was able to get me almost exactly what I was wanting, and best of all my children are happy.

I give Smith Family Law a 5-star rating because they took care of my restraining order case and my son's child custody's case, guided us through the process, and always keeping me informed regarding the status of my case, and answered all my questions without me having to ask. Heather took my case, and she got things done that we were not even asking for, always what was right for the child. I don't call her Heather, I call her "my angel." I recommend the Smith Family Law Firm to anyone who is in need to win a case. I know Mr. Smith and Heather for 8 years; I trust this firm 120%.

Smith family has helped my family and I came together. We have been in contact with this firm since 2016. They have taught me valuable things .
I will for sure be recommending this law firm to my loved ones.
Hopefully no one goes through what these people practice.
I love these people dearly, and I am grateful to have met them.
Thank you to Stephen, since 2016 I am now able to do what I don’t think I was going to do.
Also thank you to Heather. She has been helping with what is in the present.

Steve took on my complex custody case (UCCJEA, special needs, split custody) December of 2018. Where previous attorneys had only shown me large bills, and larger losses, Steve helped calm me down, and plotted a better way forward.
He expertly navigated change of jurisdiction from Washington to California, responded succinctly to multiple ex parte motions, and eventually won the case for my family. All executed flawlessly despite less than ideal circumstances (e.g. being forced to argue in front of three different judges ... in one month). I ended up in a better situation than I expected, with minimal effort or outlay of cash.
Oh, and he talked me out of spending another $5K (with him) on what - in retrospect - would have been an 'overkill' motion. A lesser attorney would have taken my money and ran with it, despite an outcome that would have had little to no positive effect on my family.
Hire this guy, and don't look back.

Dawn Delia is the best tax attorney you'll find! I'm so grateful for her help with my small tax issue. I just needed a payment plan and was too scared to call the IRS. She advised me to set up a payment plan on the IRS website to save money, but I still wanted to hire her. She agreed and quickly got it done. Even though my case was small, she treated me like an important client. She's a wonderful person!

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional legal representation provided by Ms. Freeze in my case. From the very beginning, she demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal system and a genuine commitment to my well-being.
Ms. Freeze not only helped me navigate the complexities of my case but also suggested anger management and family therapy, which were instrumental in my personal growth and healing. Thanks to her expert guidance, my case was dismissed, and my arrest records were sealed a year later, giving me a fresh start.
I highly recommend Ms. Freeze to anyone in need of a compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated criminal defense attorney. She truly went above and beyond, despite handling multiple cases, to ensure the best possible outcome for me and my family.

I had been in law enforcement for thirty-five years before retiring in 2014 and have owned a New Jersey Private investigation firm since 2016. Early this Spring, I needed to find a California Private Investigator in order to assist me in conducting a multi jurisdictional investigation.
I received multiple recommendations from my colleagues in New Jersey that John Munoz owner of Trusted Eye Investigations was the go to investigator in Southern California. Following the advice I was given I reached out to John and immediately could tell he was a cut above many investigators I had ever worked with
Over our three month investigation found John was professional, knowledgeable in investigations as well as being able to think outside the box. John is determined to do a good job and never seems to get tired.
I suggest if your in need of a private investigator, at minimum you should give John a look, you are gonna like what you see.

And to Sydney Rusch, all my respect and appreciation towards her and her professionalism at what she does. She is very well prepared. She was always willing to make everything work based on my schedule. She helped me through all of it from our free first consultation to the end of the case. She will listen and get to work right after for you. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Very great job.

I am extremely grateful to Mr. Reznik for all of the hard work and dedication both him and his team put into my case. His expertise, honest advice and integrity were crucial in negotiating various contracts for my business. One of the things that gets complicated with contracts and speaking to attorneys is understanding all the legalese. Mr. Reznik explained in a way that made it easy to understand and made perfect sense. If you have a contract, there is definitely no better attorney to hire. I highly recommend him, the absolute best!

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.

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.
