I had a fantastic experience working with Omega Law Firm. After my accident last August, Ashley and the team were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. They made what could have been a complicated and stressful situation incredibly easy to navigate. Ashley was always available to answer my questions and kept me well-informed every step of the way. I highly recommend Omega Law Firm for their excellent service and dedication to their clients!!

I have known this firm for some time and have referred many colleagues to them, even family members. It's reassuring to have a trusted partner in family law who is not only knowledgeable but also results-driven. Their commitment to their clients is evident, and they consistently deliver exceptional outcomes. What stands out even more is their incredible community impact—it's on another level. I am confident in recommending them to anyone in need of family law services.

It's hard to find a law firm with as much collective experience as Hoover Krepelka, LLP. And when you’re in the midst of a complex divorce or custody dispute where every decision counts and has a lasting impact, having 250+ years of collective family law experience matters even more. With over a dozen attorneys, fluent in multiple languages, they are well-positioned to help you and your loved ones successfully navigate a divorce, custody and support dispute, or property valuation and division.

I worked with this firm to consult about my mom's partner's previous marriage and to understand the status of her marital property shared with her ex-husband. The attorneys were very knowledgeable and took the time to clearly explain the details of the situation. Nowadays, you never know what firm operates from satellite workspaces, but I was pleased to find that their office was conveniently just down the block. This made it easy for me to stop by whenever needed. Their expertise and accessibility truly made the process much smoother for me.

EDIT AFTER OWNER PATHETIC RESPONSE: I am reviewing the right person. This is Madan that had his license suspended in 2005. He failed to submit immigration paperwork for a client and the client got deported. Another client didn’t get his immigration paperwork approved and Madan failed to update his client on his immigrant status. Madan was defending someone that wanted to pay less child support, Madan submitted paperwork asking for a 14y/o take take care of 2 young children 50hrs/week while also attending HS all so his client will pay less, his client ended up paying MORE than when he went in lol. There are MANY cases of malpractice by this guy and I refuse to let him gaslight or bully me into believing this isn’t the same guy. Just recently a former client of his found a new legal team because Madan is INCOMPETENT and SHADY.
PLEASE DO RESEARCH ON THIS GUY. He lost his license for a year for malpractice AND he had a DV (Domestic Violence) case against him! He’s definitely also a traditional guy. So if you or your loved ones identify as LGBTQ+, please RUN FAR AWAY FROM HIM. There is an evil aura to him and you can just see the $$ signs on his eyes. This guy definitely protects/is on the side of defendants. If you know you’re a good person with no ill intentions, please find yourself someone else. This guys SHOULD NOT HAVE A LICENSE TO PRACTICE.

I'm opening with the statement: INCREDIBLE service, attention to detail, and follow up! I sustained injuries in a car accident where the other driver was at fault, and for the first time in my life I realized that I was going to need more than my own auto insurance company's assistance. Fortunately for me, I was referred to the team at GJEL Accident Attorneys as a starting point, and I didn't need to seek any other guidance after that. I completed a very quick and efficient phone call to explain my circumstances to the firm, and before I could blink I had received an email with clear and simple steps to take to begin the process. I was treated with kindness and compassion during a time when I had a lot of worries about the accident. They made me feel so at ease by advising that they would essentially take over all of the difficult correspondence that was already starting - whether it was my insurance company, the other driver's insurance company, hospital bill inquiries, etc, they handled it all immediately. I was informed and advised at every step down the path to settlement, and their timeliness along the way was so impressive that it made me feel that somehow I was their only client. I wholeheartedly recommend GJEL Accident Attorneys should the need arise, as the entire team had incredible industry knowledge, and they were punctual and professional at every step.

He says what he is going to do , and does what he said he was going to do for your case. All while keeping you updated every step he makes towards the resolve of your case. Also I can say without a doubt. The best dressed gentleman in the Court Room. Whose presence at the podium was truly poetry in motion the way he battled the D.A. with his knowledge of the LAW. My case never made it to trial. Dismissed!-

My family has never used a lawyer for any legal matter, but after being involved in a life changing accident, we had no choice! Fortunately, we were able to retain Glenda De Guzman from the Dunnion Law Firm and are thankful for her legal expertise! Without her, we would have been at the mercy of the other insurance company and their legal team. Needless to say Glenda worked hard to protect our rights throughout the entire process. We are also thankful for her assistant Liz who kept us informed throughout the settlement process.

I went through a lengthy divorce process that was very difficult, and full of a lot of acrimony. I interviewed a dozen family law attorneys, and took copious notes. Traci stood out above the rest. I felt her approach to be the most honest and sincere. My experience was validated as I worked with her.
As I worked with Traci, I found her communication style simply outstanding. She always kept me apprised of what was happening, and was very easy to reach. I was never in a position of not knowing what was happening. If you anticipate a lot of difficulty with your case, you want someone like Traci on your side. She did wonders to lower my anxiety.
Let's face it, hiring a lawyer is expensive. And hiring a family law lawyer can quickly add up when the process is as lengthy as it was for me. Traci's billing was thorough and honest. She leverages her team to bring down the costs. I always felt that I was treated fairly.
Choose Traci. You won't be disappointed.

I hired Traci as my divorce attorney and it was the best decision ever. I specifically worked with Traci and 2 other attorneys in her firm, Jessica and Alexis, and they went above and beyond for me. Divorces are never easy, especially when opposing counsel and the soon to be ex are challening, but they all went above and beyond and got me through to the finish line. They were kind and supportive of me through the entire process and I knew they had my back every step of the way. My divorce papers are signed, sealed and delivered and it's the best feeling. There are not enough words to express my gratitude for all they did for me. They are the best and I would highly recommend them to everyone.

I was fortunate to find Traci and retain her as a consulting attorney for my divorce. She took the time to discuss whether I wanted an attorney of record vs consulting, and guided me to the consulting route.
Traci and her team were on top of what filings I needed to do, what forms I needed to fill out, and were invaluable helping me understand my obligations and rights. Traci would take the time to help me understand the implications of certain decisions I needed to make.
She was also great connecting me to other attorneys I needed to work with on different aspects of my case.
Overall, made a stressful process as smooth as one could hope for.

I first got to know Mark through his YouTube series “Divorce California Style”. I was so impressed by the breadth and depth of his knowledge in complex divorce issues that I decided to meet him in his office to discuss my case face to face. Mark is a great listener, a creative problem solver and an effective communicator. With his help, I was able to navigate through very difficult custody and support issues, and take control of my situation. I highly recommend Mark. He is the man!

I hired Mark several years ago. My process involved important property and child custody issues. His Staff was very helpful and I was extremely impressed and thankful for having Mark and his staff help put these disputes behind me.
I highly recommend Mark and his team. He did not encourage me to over reach. He is very fair!! Mark helped me to be well prepared for court and Mark is more than capable to resolve all issues in a fair and reasonable way.
The process was very nerve racking, having never been through any legal process, however Mark was always very reassuring and very supportive.
I am so thankful and fortunate to have had Mark and his team in my corner.
Thank you very much Mark!!

I can’t say enough about Matt Erickson’s skill and grace as an attorney. He took on my custody case during the lowest point in my life, and under his counsel and guidance, we turned everything around—I with my life and he with my custody of my son. I now have full physical custody and a fair support order. It was a complete 180, and it wouldn’t have been possibly without Matt’s skill, expertise, patience, and kindness. I’ve recommended him countless times to friends. Look no further.

I called Ms. Ekaterina Berman to consult with a case, and she provided excellent consultation even she didn't have time to take my case.
She listens really well. She gets my point immediately, and gets to her point clearly. The communication was very professional and easy.
She offered her professional take on the case and on my concerns, even I haven't hired her. She does not just care about money. She said, to save the time and money, what is the good way to proceed instead of forcing me a case to open and hire her.
Although I didn't end up with working with her on my case, I feel only someone who is good at what he/she is doing can do practice and work in the way Ms. Ekaterina Berman does. So I feel this is outstanding from others in the business, and it should be made aware to anyone who seeks for help and service.

I recently engaged the services of this law firm and attorney Wendy to assist with multiple legal concerns, including my divorce proceedings. The firm has been highly responsive to my needs. Despite having a complex case as I was unable to reach an agreement with the opposing party, Wendy provided expert guidance throughout the challenging legal process, resulting in a satisfactory settlement rather than a costly court battle. Wendy's wealth of experience and legal acumen was invaluable in achieving a positive outcome. I am extremely satisfied with my choice to retain this firm and Wendy as my attorney and would highly recommend her to anyone facing difficult legal matters.

The whole experience from start to finish with Felicia's help and emphasis in a almost mediation or collaborative fashion between both parties made the case very smooth. Felicia clearly spelled out all the options, both pro and cons, to working it out amongst all of us in order to not go to trial. I recommend her as a great Divorce, Family Custody, and Integrity driven Attorney. Felicia is realistic, listened, and kept me focused on the goal. She helped work with what is supported by the LAW. With Felicia's help, I was able to preserve a co-parenting relationship, and compromises based on the Law. In final review of the whole experience, Felicia was an excellent choice !

I worked with this firm to consult about my mom's partner's previous marriage and to understand the status of her marital property shared with her ex-husband.

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.

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.
