I absolutely love the Hirani Law Firm, they went above and beyond for me to find out all they could. They worked with me when I was struggling and were always there to listen. I am so happy and satisfied with my divorce and child support outcome. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who feels like they don't have a fighting chance because the Hirani Law Firm give you a voice.

Judd, Lauren Jayna and their staff are consummate family law pros. Very communicative, knowledgeable and thorough. I never felt like I was being rushed or pressured into making decisions and when I needed advice, they were quick to answer and answer with compassion. I would highly recommend their services to anyone who needs help with family law.

Lauren Allen worked with me during the time I was finding out about a daughter I never knew I had. She was extremely knowledgeable and always was quick to respond to any questions and concerns I had. I would, most definitely, recommend this Law Firm and especially Ms. Allen.

I booked a free consultation regarding foundation issues in our home, and the experience was excellent. Mr. Grubbs provided great advice and gave me clear "homework" to complete in the meantime. The office was very professional and prompt in scheduling my consultation, making the process seamless.
I felt that Mr. Grubbs was sincere and thoughtful in addressing our situation, presenting a solid plan of action to move forward after the retainer fee is paid. Once my plumber completes the leak test, I will most likely hire this firm.
Our consultation was definitely worthwhile and gave me the clarity needed to prepare for the next steps. Highly recommend!

I have been working with Kenneth Grubbs for the past several years to fix a mess associated with my divorce and property dispute. The legal system is a lengthy one unfortunately but he is taking care of it and in the correct manner! I am very thankful he is my real estate lawyer and getting things done to reveal the truth of this dispute!!

If there were negative stars, that’s what I would give this company. Absolutely terrible. No communication, no follow through, no integrity and then had the nerve to tell me I would need to pay another 5k to speak to him??? When he never called me back to update me like I was told?? DO NOT PAY THIS MAN OR THIS LAW FIRM ANY MONEY FOR ANY SERVICES!

This one star review is base off of my opinion, perception and experience with the firm. I will state that legal action has been threatened if I do not take down my review on other platforms like lawyers.com and yelp. I urge the people who read this review to check the reviews on those sites as they IN MY OPINION better reflect the experiences of the firm. After cross checking the staff on the website and the reviews underneath mine, it is mostly staff from the office leaving the reviews, not clients.
I was hesitant to post about my opinion and experience with the firm because the replies in negative reviews are in my opinion passive aggressive and airing out clients “dirty laundry”. However, I will not be referring any of the clients from my business or anyone who asks me for my opinion on the firm. I will be sure to make my communication with others factual and not “slanderous” and state this is my OPINION of the firm.

I struggled with this review but I think folks need to be aware of Ms. Norman behavior. She’s starts of giving great advice and comes off as sincere. However, she does not listen to her clients or respond timely. She is a terrible communicator. You’re constantly re- submitting documents. You constantly having to proof read her documents since it’s filled with typos. She’s gets dismissive when confronted with concerns and files a motion to remove as attorney after she collects your money under false pretense. You get what you pay for! I would not recommend her if your life depended on it.

Her responses to my questions were quick and thorough and she was always available to answer my questions. Will DEFINITELY be using her for all family matters going forward.

I honestly could not say enough wonderful things about These people and this law firm. They help me get through one of the most.

Excellent Lawyer, efficient and Highly professional!
I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Aida Rojas-Moore for my divorce and I cannot recommend her enough. From the very beginning she was incredibly communicative and kept me informed throughout the entire process. She made what could have been a stressful experience smooth and fast (like lightning), handling everything efficiently and with great care.
Her professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication really stood out. She made sure I understood each step, answered all my questions promptly, and ensured that everything was taken care of quickly. I’am so grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled and caring lawyer.
Thank you, Attorney Aida Rojas-Moore for your outstanding work.
I would also like to extend my gratitude to the amazing staff who supported me throughout the process. Their professionalism and assistance were invaluable.
Thank you so much
And happy holidays,
Joel Barnedo

I had no knowledge of how to begin nor what steps to take for getting a divorce and they completely blew me away with how knowledgeable and supportive they were. I would not be where I am without them. They were true professionals, kept constant communication with me and made sure I was informed of every little detail. I will definitely recommend them to everyone!

worst lawyer EVER. self absorbed, and doesn’t care about her clients. whoever wrote these reviews, and replaced them with REAL client reviews should be ashamed of themselves. she’s never available, and all she cares about is getting paid. she needs to be turned into the BBB, and her office needs to be turned into the FTC for all of these OBVIOUSLY fake reviews!

Gave poor advice. Charged me money every time my ex contacted them. Worked at a snail's pace. Since my attorney was so useless, I finished the agreement with my ex myself, filed it myself, and then Li Family Law billed me for the filing. Could not be less satisfied with their "services".

Albin oldner law has been the most easy and seamless process i can have asked for. Nicole martin went above and beyond to get me what i was deserved.

I couldn't be happier with my experience with Albin Oldner and more specifically Shayna Sanborn. Shanya and her legal firm represented me in a 2+ year battle that knocked me down more times than I can remember but Shayna and her team were there for me every step of the way. Her knowledge of law and family law specifically and being able to quickly act and navigate our case helped calm my nerves and curb anxiety. More than being an amazing lawyer she is genuinely a compassionate human being and is just a good person. I am beyond blessed to have been referred to Shayna and will never forget all she has done for my family and I. I couldn't recommend Shayna and Albin Oldner enough. I am forever thankful for their services.

I hired Kathryn to assist with my case after receiving poor representation by a larger firm in Austin. I was hoping that despite the small size of her practice, she would be supportive, empathetic, and fierce in protecting me and my daughter. Sadly, she and many other lawyers are not properly educated in the fields of coercive control, post-separation abuse, stalking, and harassment. Regardless of the evidence I provided, she talked over me, interrupted me when I expressed concerns about my young child, and warned of loss of custody if I kept trying to protect my child from abuse. She would often make incredibly insensitive comments to me during phone calls and meetings While I understand that the family court system is flawed, if lawyers do not stand up for their clients and convince them to quiet their concerns for their children, the flawed system will never improve. Abused, protective mothers need lawyers who listen. Sadly, Kathryn did not.

strange i went to bank the day before and pulled out 6000.00
her going rate is 400.00
story sounds like another stapler talker . She was rude. when i was battered ! I called her up a week later to scope her out. She seemed a little more chilled out, but she had some kind of nervous, just ruthless.

You wouldn't walk into war without the proper General, and you definitely don't want to walk into a court room without Kathryn Fowler. Katheryn is supportive, caring, and very experienced in the world of Divorce. It's pretty impressive when you go to mediation 3 times, with 3 different mediators, and they each tell you, "You have a very good lawyer," It's a very humbling feeling. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time or money anywhere else. Kathryn is the lawyer you want. Reviewed by a hard working single mom of 2 beautiful daughters that mean the world to me. Thank you Kathryn.

Brad took over my case from another attorney during a difficult time. My daughter's father (my ex-husband) did not return her after her agreed upon visit the summer of 2014. He took away her means of communicating with me and others. Over a period of days, he would set a return date, then change it. My daughter was distressed and lost her trust in him. Because of previous attempts to get a resolution that supported my daughter, I did not have a lot of faith in the system. Brad is honest, has a serious level of attention to detail, great energy, and a strategic mind that works for the best interest of, in this case, my child. In the end, Brad and his pretty wonderful team of legal super heroes were able to provide me with a sense of relief and protection for my daughter. I could not ask for anything more.

In late December 2015, Bradley Coldwell stepped in when my then attorney could not continue with my case as he was running for public office and my common-law husband of 16+ years was pulling every dirty trick he could think of to make the divorce as difficult and expensive as possible. After agreeing in April 2015 to mediation within 60 days, he refused to turn over discovery forcing me to subpoena the requested documents, denied we were married, demanded a jury trial at the last minute before the final trial date, then firing his attorney and hiring a new one who he said was “the number one family law attorney in Williamson County”. My husband than announced that he had deliberately conflicted out every good attorney in town. Thank goodness, he skipped Brad in the conflicting process.
Brad got a second temporary orders hearing scheduled for early February 2016. Not only did he get the agreement that I regretting making in April 2015 reversed, he also got me temporary support, a large amount of attorney’s fees and the judge denied every one of my husband’s requests. Watching Brad and his paralegal, Ryan Dixon, in action at that hearing was more than I could have asked for. Calm, cool and always in control. Brad became my hero that day.
Through discovery updates and everything else that happened Brad and Ryan kept me up to date, never missed a deadline and were always there to answer my questions and calm my fears.
Our half-day mediation in June 2016 lasted 14 hours and turned out better than I could have dreamed of. By agreement, I received over half of the martial estate and other provisions that I don’t believe another attorney could have gotten for me.
I believe that my now ex-husband understands that he did not hire “the number one family law attorney in Williamson County”, I did …. and his name is Bradly Coldwell.
I highly recommend Bradley Coldwell of Coldwell Bowes. He will always be my HERO. Everyone at Coldwell Bowes are extremely professional and very nice.

If i open section 7 in modify your will I get everything but section 7.
I have asked several times for help on this problem and got nothing useful back. Right now I am trying to recreate the section but if this fails your site is usless to me.

Beginning to end it was a bad experience. I knew my case would be difficult from the start because of my circumstances. From the failure to communicate on many court appearances (each time I wasn't notified until the day before) to the lack of updates on proceedings, lack of actions or even suggesting actions, to the lack of direction throughout my case, to the conflict of interest that was later discovered by me with the opposing attorney. Paul's mentor was my ex-spouse's legal counsel, I was not made aware of this until I did my own research. I couldn't figure out as to why was it my experience felt so off. My experience was less than desirable not because of the outcome but because of the process of getting there could have been better handled, planned and presented. I paid 5 figures to this attorney whom I trusted would act on my behalf, give legal advice, I never once felt that he and his staff were doing just that it felt much more like we were just going through the motions. In my experience the billing is flawed, and I found the rates disproportionate for the services provided. In my experience the communication for the billing was better than the actual communications of what was going on with my case. I unfortunately would not recommend this firm to anyone.

BEWARE of Michael Dominick
let me save you your time and money before even considering using Michael Dominick for your services. First of all the receptionist who was very sweet I believe is coached to say whatever it takes to schedule the appointment. I was lied to, to feel comfortable enough to make the appointment. Was told the hourly rate and I said oh I most likely will only take up no more then 20 minutes, I only wanted to ask a couple of questions. She said no problem they will refund for whatever time I don’t use. Which is the only reason I agreed to the appointment. I was there on time, was made to wait cause he was “consulting with a colleague” I was told, which was fine, walked into his office 15 minutes later. Was in his office almost 25 minutes before telling him that I don’t think he is what I was looking for. At the front I asked about the refund and you can tell his frail ego was hurt and said we don’t do that. And I explained then I was lied to and that now I feel conned into making the appointment because I never would have accepted knowing the truth. Said to contact billing and she was just plain rude. She then said that “I am just mad because he wouldn’t take my case” lol oh honey I’m sorry I think you have it twisted but it’s his weak frail male ego that is mad that I didn’t want him. She then dismissed me rudely. Maybe he needs the extra cash because he is the least paid lawyer in that office and was able to take my appointment instantly so that speaks volumes for his books. Maybe he will use the cash to tailor his poorly fit suit. I have the original phone call recorded on my home security cameras to prove I was told about the refund policy and I have the appointment voice recorded because I sometimes forget everything that was talked about during any sort of appointment and like to reference back, so I have time stamps and everything for the record
Save yourself your time and just go somewhere else. He is smug and arrogant and likes the sound of his own voice because I tried to cut off the appointment much sooner as I realized ten minutes in he was not for me but he likes to go round and round repeating himself, probably to rack up the bill and justify himself. I will be going to everywhere and anywhere to leave my review, google, yelp, Reddit, Justia, Avvo, every San Antonio group on Facebook. I will google San Antonio lawyer review sites and leave my experience so people can take from it what they will.

Wade was our attorney in 1997-1998. We hired him to complete a "step-parent" adoption. In that process we learned my husband's divorced to his former wife had not been finalized. My husband with the help of Wade immediately filed for divorce (to the ex). We counseled with Wade at that time as of what we - my husband and I needed to do if anything to validate our marriage. Wade said nothing. Stated our marriage would be "retroactive" back to its original date. He then completed the "step parent" adoption. 15 years later and after 20 years of marriage we are learning our marriage was and is void due to the fact we never "married" after that divorce was completed! I called Wade this past week and left 7 messages pleading that he return my call. The last message I left stated if I didn't hear back from him, I would have little choice but to file a complaint. I just needed to know what his reasoning was to advise us not to marry. I was positive once we spoke to him, this would all be cleared up. I had so much faith in him as our attorney and at the time, our Bishop (LDS). His return call left me devastated and in tears. He was extremely rude and unprofessional. He just kept saying, "Go ahead Debbie, FILE YOUR COMPLAINT and I'll answer that and ONLY that!" He said, "Oh now I guess you want FREE LEGAL ADVISE!". No Wade, I want you to tell me why you ruined what was about to be a 20 year marriage celebration! I want you to tell me why my now adult daughter still doesn't have a legal father! And although he wasn't hired to do our 2nd "Step-Parent" adoption a year later, it was still completed under the pretense we were a married couple! If there is a reasonable explanation for this, all you had to do was say it. By your tone, attitude and the fact you hung up on me as I sit there crying tells me you KNOW you gave us bad legal advice! Admitting that would accept that responsibility. We trusted you with our family unit. We trusted your knowledge as a certified attorney. You more than let us down. You've destroyed all that we have worked for.

Steven is very knowledgeable, went above and beyond my expectations, and made me feel like an actual person instead of just another case number. I would recommend him for criminal defense he fought for me and came through in the end.

I am writing this to make sure others don’t end up in the same situation as my husband and I did. My husband was diagnosed as terminal, we wanted to make sure all our affairs were in order before his passing. When we walked into Natalie Wallace’s office, we made it very clear that we wanted all documentation that would avoid probate upon his death. He passed and I contacted Natalie, and she indicated we would have to do probate to the tune of $4000. I made it clear she didn’t do what was requested and she apologized and took absolutely no ownership for her error. In working with a much more skilled attorney, I found out that Natalie should have done a “transfer on death deed” for our home, known as a “ladybird deed” in Texas. She had not once brought this up during our visit. So here I am having to pay even more money because she failed to do her job after paying to do our documents for passing. In addition, she didn’t even include an alternate for POA hence I had to redo my documents and pay once again.
She might be good with other types of law (not sure), but I would steer clear of her for any estate planning as she seems to be lacking on either listening to what her clients ask for, or skill in the area of estate planning. I don’t typically do negative reviews, but I didn’t want others to experience the same thing I had to. Go find someone else if you are doing estate planning.

Todd Durden took the time to look through every aspect of every possibly for my case. Knowledgeable and experienced. I would refer and recommend him just as he was to me after success on a relatives case. Prepared and ready to follow though, more so than expected from any other legal representation. I had consulted with other lawyers as well.

I hired Mr. Durden to handle the revision of my possession and child support. Mr. Durden's showed genuine concern and understanding of the situation and did a great job of keeping the process moving. On several occasions my ex wife's attorney attempted to delay or extend the process, Mr. Durden handled the situation and was able to get me full custody and termination of child support. Mr. Durden is very knowledgeable in the law and I highly recommend him for child custody and child support.

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.
