Ezra helped my husband avoid some serious legal issues with a previous employer. He communicated often, he showed up when he said he would and he fought hard to get the best possible outcome. I would recommend him to anyone in need of legal help. Thanks Ezra!

Vic is a great attorney. He is very patient and compassionate, he listens to your concerns and he truly does care.

Working with Amy Ruby has been an exceptional experience both professionally and personally. As an attorney, she is the epitome of a consummate professional. From our initial consultation to the final resolution, her expertise, diligence, and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of my case.
Beyond her professional excellence, what truly sets Amy apart is the genuine friendship she offered throughout this journey. Her approachable nature and empathetic understanding made an otherwise stressful process much more manageable. She took the time to listen, to understand my concerns, and to provide reassurance when I needed it most.
Amy seamlessly blended professional rigor with personal warmth, making me feel supported on all fronts. It’s rare to find someone who excels in their field while also being a true friend, but Amy Ruby is exactly that. If you’re looking for an attorney who will not only represent you with unwavering dedication but also stand by you as a trusted ally, I wholeheartedly recommend Amy Ruby.
Thank you, Amy, for your outstanding service and steadfast friendship. Your impact on my life goes beyond the courtroom, and I am profoundly grateful. Joshua Watkins

Amy was my representation in a divorce case. She was very thorough in walking me through each step and ensuring I was well informed of each step in the process. She was prompt in her communication and ensured all of my questions were answered. Above all else, I felt like I had an advocate every step of the way. 10/10 - I'd recommend Amy to any friend or family member who needs representation to resolve a legal issue.

I am grateful to have found Attorney Schlussel. She listened to my concerns and assisted me in understanding the “Legal Jargon” that I did not understand and she explained it very well. The reason I was able to understood so well is because she explained it in “lay terms” at my level of understanding. It helped ease my anxieties about what may lie ahead for me in my legal situation. I recommend Attorney Schlussel because before I found her , it difficult for me to find a good lawyer who did not rush me off the phone and make me feel like my case was financially beneath them. Attorney Schlussel made me feel like I mattered and that my feelings and concerns mattered. I found her to be knowledgeable, professional,, easy to communicate with and a person of good character. She actually cares about people and their issues. I want to also add, she returned all my calls in a timely manner. Thank you so much Attorney Schlussel.

Debbie provided excellent representation from beginning to end in the defense against charges of manufacturing and delivery of methamphetamine, that I received in Canton, MI, The charges are felonies that carry a mandatory 10-20 year prison sentence. Debbie was a super star in challenging if there was probable cause to pull me over and nearly got the charges dismissed before the case left Canton District Court for the 3rd Circuit Court of Wayne County. Debbie was able to get the felony charge of manufacturing and delivery dismissed and replaced with a misdemeanor charge of use of methamphetamine by using her expertise and knowledge of criminal law, that she has developed over her years of practice. I highly recommend the retention of Debbie Schlussel to represent you in the defense of any criminal charges! She will grind and out work the prosecution if necessary! Honestly, I owe her great gratitude, as she saved at least 10 years of what are suppose to be the best years and highest years of my life! I can breathe again!

Attorney Barry Fayne is one of the greatest people that I know, and I am more than happy that he agreed to take my case. At the time that he decided to get involved, I had been through four attorneys who seemed reluctant to deal with the tumultuous issues on my case. Attorney Fayne’s involvement changed everything!
In my opinion, Attorney Fayne’s calling was to be a family law attorney. He gives the best advice based on his profound knowledge of the law. He is also considerate and respectful of your feelings and will listen with an open-mind to your input relative to the direction of the case. He is truly committed and dedicated to his profession. He has received and responded to my calls and/or emails of an urgent nature outside of ‘normal’ working hours and has been very personable. His presence in the courtroom on my case has been impactful.
I could say so much more about my attorney. Whenever anyone mentions the need for a family law attorney, Attorney Barry Fayne is the first person I recommend. In my opinion, he is the absolute best!!!

We hired Barry on the recommendation of our attorney, who had a conflict and could not represent us for a specific hearing. Barry took us on as clients and immediately understood a very complex case and the seriousness of the issues of the hearing. He treated us like we were longstanding clients (even though we had just met) and listened to and responded to every one of our communication in a way that showed he is “all-in” for his clients when he takes a case. After observing him in action, I can confirm that he is highly skilled in arguing in front of a judge, has vast experience across multiple counties and knows multiple judges and courtrooms, and knows family law inside and out. While I’m happy with my current attorney (who also hired Barry, and hence recommended him when the conflict arose), I’d not hesitate to hire Barry again and recommend him to everyone I know. Once you work with the best, it’s hard to work with anyone else!!!

Elizabeth handled my divorce with a high level of competency and professionalism. She was always on point and exhibited patience and understanding at all times when it came to helping me navigate the process, the emotions, and the upheaval inherent when a marriage, and consequently a family, breaks up. She never lost sight of my individual interests and most importantly, continually helped me think through points of contention and supported my insistence that EVERY move we made was done in the best interests of my children rather than me. I would highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone navigating the convoluted process that is divorce in Michigan, even though I likely won't need her services again as I will NEVER go down the marriage road again and am recommending that my kids consider the same.

I tried to do it on my own - but got in too deep and thankfully realized it after some good advice from great friends. Elizabeth stepped in seamlessly and took over the case. I couldn't be happier with my decision to use ADAM - and especially Elizabeth. She was unbelievable from start to finish, on all facets of the case - a true professional, and now a friend. THANK YOU!!!!

Gary Goldin is a great lawyer. He made sure we understood everything about our law suit. He got us more money than we thought we would receive. If you were injured is an automobile accident. You need to call him, he goes beyond the work he needs to win your case.

Channelle drafted the wrong wording regarding spousal support after taking her to two mediations, per my new lawyer that I took to my final arbitration. She hardly looked at my case, and relied on her office personnel to handle everything. When I showed up at the first mediation she asked me why we were there and if me and my ex could reconcile (no). I felt she sided with my ex in terms of giving him 50/50 parenting time even though I was a stay at home mom. I do not recommend this office to anyone.

Ashleigh is an exceptional attorney! She was with me every step of the way as we fought and won against a very difficult to deal with EX and lawyer from a popular divorce firm for women. We were faced with a lot of obstacles, which were all overcome! The outcome of my case was even better than I expected! Ashleigh and the staff are very responsive and efficient. I can’t say enough about the level of professionalism and seasoned skill set that was displayed on my case.
Having Kizy law on your side fighting for you will be an asset, especially if you’re dealing with divorce, parenting time/rights, and child support.
I can’t thank you enough! You’ve given me the invaluable opportunities to continue be a great Dad to an amazing little girl! Opportunities which turn into memories which my daughter and I will be able to cherish for a lifetime!

Was expecting a big turnout due to my accident but unfortunately the person that hit me back on 10-10 2021. She had no insurance, no license. I thought Mike Morris was a good law firm to get me the most but instead we had to sue my insurance. I was off work for almost a year due to lower back shoulder and neck. Since I opt out of a medical coverage on my insurance, they only seeked out $100,000. Of course they took. They cut left me with almost about $10,000 the day of my hearing. My attorney Mr. Wheatley was on vacation so to me it felt like I got the low in because now I still have $20,000 worth of medical bills and I felt like they could have did more in my eyes. I look at it as my case was pennies to them so I'm just not satisfied with the outcome and the main thing was I wish I didn't get stuck with a medical bill because I did nothing wrong and I wish I never would have got in an accident or had to go through any of this to being debt and to still have somewhat of an injury. So if it's not a big high profile case, I wouldn't recommend using them!! And if they so much care, they took almost 34,000 my insurance through my job received $50,000 And other fees. So I pretty much was left with nothing and a bill and after the case was closed when I called to speak to Mr. Wheatley the only thing he can tell me is to get on a payment arrangement for almost $20,000 worth of medical bills. So if anything you could have fought a little harder to make sure I didn't have no medical bills and I wouldn't feel the way I feel now

Steve Mamat and his team at Elimitix are very professional. Steve communicated with the prosecuting attorney and did an amazing job fighting the false charges alleged by the Michigan State Police officer against me.

Five years later I'm finally getting back on my feet, without Erics help I may never have gotten here. The Divorce was literally as quick as the courts allow. I paid child and spousal support but it was fair. I was awarded custody of 2 of my 3 children (not the 3rd by his choice) and was able to keep our home where all 4 of us now live today. THANK YOU ERIC! worth every penny.

I highly recommend this law firm, do not waste your money elsewhere. I should have paid the extra money in the first place, I went cheap for my first lawyer when going through my divorce and in turn lost everything after 31 years of marriage. I had to hire a lawyer for spousal support, so this time I hired the right law firm ADAM. They assigned Mr. Eric Gloudemans to my case much to my pleasure. Mr. Gloudemans took my case and presented all the facts and figures to the courts, in doing so Mr. Gloudemans won my case hands down, I pay no spousal support and no back pay. Once again pay the extra money for a good law firm and a great lawyer. Thank You Again Mr. Eric R. Gloudemans for a great job at winning my case.

I hired Mrs. Richie as my attorney for a custody matter. (Parenting time) She promised me that she would try everything in her power to get my children back home. Unfortunately that didn’t happen and I only received phone time. She was very knowledgeable, but didn’t seem to use her knowledge as much as she should have during the time of her being my attorney. I was left to do all the foot work, and hardly any of my completed documentation was submitted to the courts that I worked so hard to get during this time. Lastly she withdrew from my case at the time I needed her most, and said the reasoning was because I wasn’t following her legal advice. When in all actuality, I went above and beyond on everything the judge ordered. She also was very soft spoken.

I met Tracey and Jon, both extremely professional. I explained to them that my ex-wife and I had reached a different custody agreement than the original almost 10 years ago. Tracey wrote it all up, filed the motions, and now I have the majority custody of my son. Don't waste your money or her time with unnecessary emails or phone calls, if you hire Tracey have faith she is fighting for you and things are getting done.

Tracey worked my case from day one. I started with no rights to my son and ended up with ~50/50 which is all I ever asked for. She promptly showed up to every court date (which seems to be a problem with some lawyers). She didn't back down from ridiculous demands from the opposition, she kept expectations realistic, shut down lies and false accusations, compromised when it was in my best interest. When my sons mother wouldn't allow me to see him, she got an interim hearing for custody until the case was done. I did NOT have to contact her daily/weekly or monthly bc she was actively working the case. She replied to my emails in a timely manner and contacted me directly with new updates. She never wasted my time just to get more billable hours.

Anytime a black woman would go above and beyond to alienate a child from their father is disgusting. You are a professional, there are several ways you can do your job without lying and preventing children from seeing their father because the mom wants the father.
Do better. All money isn't good money and have some morals for yourself and the African American community. Some fathers are great fathers, and some are not. You are contributing to the problem. It's never about the money, money comes and goes but lying to separate a black child from their parent is a dam shame.

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.
