Very poor customer service and coordination I was threatened by Rupa Ramp that if we didn’t agree to meet at a location I wanted to pick which is close to my work in certain minutes time frame to respond that they won’t meet or change location although we had enough time to coordinate, zero coordinating or meeting half way!!

Our experience with Watters International and Jeff Riberdy (our realtor) was exceptional! We listed my mother-in-law’s home and had an offer when we woke up the next morning!
Jeff is very professional, organized, and explained the process every step of the way. We are very grateful!
- Highly appreciate and recommend

We now have a realtor for LIFE. Aaron was with us every step of the way, answered all of our questions, kept us informed, and with all of the properties we looked at had driven COUNTLESS miles to help us find our new HOME. Watters Realty also helped us sell our previous home and I cannot say enough about the quality of people, the professionalism, knowledge, patience, and real estate skill of this company. I wouldn't recommend any other company for my friends and family when it comes to buying and selling a home! THANK YOU!

Pleased with the excellent service from White & Mejias. I dealt with Kyle. Everything was ready to sign when I walked in - took less than 5 minutes. I would recommend this firm - check out their well designed website. Thanks Kyle.

Trusler really does offer a better divorce experience. After 30 years, we agreed to part ways and were able to compromise on the details with Trusler's online tools. The fees were reasonable and we just followed their format and worked through the issues, consulting our paralegal as needed along the way. I highly recommend their services for 2 adults who agree to part ways,

I HIGHLY recommend Cristi Trusler for family law, particularly custody cases. Cristi, along with her phenomenal paralegal worked countless months/hours and put forth everything they had to ensure that all of the facts were conveyed in court. We had many obstacles to overcome where the county our case was held. Cristi and her team did absolutely everything they could to speed up the process and keep a fire underneath their feet to move the needle. The end result was we WON custody of my little girl! Anyone who has had a case in Texas and you are a father wanting the best for your children - you know the struggles and chances of going before a court and presenting your case and winning...not very good odds. Well, we did it! Now my little girl is in a safe and way more stable environment than ever before. I and my wife cannot be more grateful for the huge blessing Cristi and her paralegal have been in this case. Cristi, if you see this review I want to again thank you so much for being a great advocate for my little girl. And for everyone else, take my word for it - you will not be disappointed.

I imagine divorce can be a scary and confusing time for most people. As for me, I am also one to live my life in denial. Cristi was able to manage my fear, confusion, and denial and hold my had through this difficult time in my life and my children's lives. I can't imaging anyone I'd like to guide me through this crazy process more than Cristi and her paralegals over at Trusler.

They didn't take the time to actually read my email, just flat out sent me a cookie cutter rejection. Which really shows their "commitment". Not worth your time.

Although Michelle Cheng was always professional and responsive, I felt she could have been a lot more aggressive with our case. I feel as though she settled and gave advice based on prior cases and scenarios. Our doctor had admitted his guilt, so had she been more demanding and aggressive, we could have possibly received more.

We did get in touch with few attorneys via phone call, but Mr. Robson stood out and was our favorite. We directly talked with him on the phone for more than 30mins and were ready to sign with him. The next day we met with him. Even though we didn’t mutually agree and sign, Mr.Robson spent almost 2 hours with us and provided valuable advice to help us with the case. This tells me a lot about him as a person and how helpful he would be if we were to sign with him. I 100% recommend him to everybody.

Travers and Travers literally brought our family together. We had a rather unique experience, but Travers & Travers helped us through it every step of the way. We live in South Dakota and needed a referral for a lawyer in Texas. My sister is an attorney and asked around and everyone we talked to suggested Travers and Travers. So we took a leap of faith and it paid off for us big time. My initial phone call was with Sherrie and she immediately made me feel at ease. Travers & Travers took our case head on and did not stop until we brought our daughter home. They were very professional, but were also very human and friendly- that was very important to me. Mack went with us to court and mediation and he was able to keep us calm while waiting in between everything. He was very well spoken and had good charisma in the court room. Allison and Annilee worked on the background information, researching and helping us gather the information we needed to win our case. Travers & Travers explained things to us in terms we could understand, they were willing and able to answer any questions we had and never made us feel like we were bothering them. They were also very willing to work with us on our ability to pay for their services. Travers and Travers worked on our case as a family so anytime we needed anything; someone was there to help out. When our case was finished, Travers & Travers were more than just our lawyers, they were friends. They all had our best interests at heart the entire time.
I know most people’s situations will be different than ours, but if you want a lawyer that is truly looking out for you, I would highly recommend Travers & Travers. Their kindness and willing to work hard for us, brought our daughter home and we will forever be grateful for them.

Rex helped me through a difficult and emotional time when my 30-year marriage came to an end. I was extremely angry, but he saved me from myself with wise counsel.
In negotiations, Rex was exceptionally impressive. He faced an aggressive opposing counsel and was able to leave them rethinking their position. Always prepared, he conducts himself with a calmness that is reassuring.
There was always someone at the law office when I needed them. When Rex was in court or with a client, his paralegal Karla was outstanding in getting tasks organized and listened even when much of it was emotional.
I have sent friends and associates needing legal advice to Rex. So far, every one of them has thanked me for the reference. Rex will always be my first call when needing legal advice.

Hello, my name is Cory. Larry P. Schaubhut, Jr. was my attorney I chose to represent me when I took my ex spouse back to court in an attempt to get custody of my children. Larry Jr. exceeded all my expectations. I really felt like he was part of the family; Uncle Larry. He and his team were a blessing. Larry Jr. is the best attorney I have ever used and we won our case and I was awarded custody of my kids! I highly recommend using Larry Jr for all your legal needs. Should I need an attorney in the future there is no one I would rather have represent me than Larry Jr. Larry, thanks again for everything!

I am so appreciative of the difficult work Larry put into my case he’s honest and very trustworthy. Thank you, for your time and your compassion for everything I went through. Larry fought for my case, and finally I able to get closure on my custody battle, I am more then please with the outcome. He’s knowledgeable and brilliant he took the weight off my shoulders. He was great about keeping me informed with every aspect of the case, and if needed his paralegal was able to walk me through everything that came up. Larry is defiantly dedicated to his job and does an outstanding job at it. I can honestly say he is the best attorney and I highly recommend him.

I met with Jere a few months ago, in a simple consultation, and he was fantastic. His knowledge of the law was more than evident, he listened to a pretty complex saga and gave us some terrific advice. He is respectful (which is VERY rare), I felt heard, validated and felt like anyone would be in great hands with him. What I liked most was that Jere seemed to possess an empathy I had never experienced with other attorneys I have worked with or spoken to (and there are many). I look forward to working with him in the future. The reviews for this firm are glowing and if you are looking for representation in a civil matter, I highly recommend at least conferring with Jere.

Jere handled my case for quite a while at O’Neil Wysocki. Without Jere I would have not made it through the first year of this difficult case. He was always there for me, whenever I needed him. To him it was always about the safety of my son and it showed. He was always prepared and ready to fight for what is right. Karri, his paralegal, knows what she is doing and ensure that Jere always has the best information and is ready for everything that pops up. He will always be part of our family and we are so grateful for what he has done for us!

Stephen handled my divorce. It went on almost two years while my ex husband went through three lawyers. I had great representation, he worked with me and kept me in the loop on what was going on. I felt he heard me when I wanted to talk about issues, He always gave me the answer or explanation I was needing when the process was a little confusing.
I have given his name to several people and highly recommend him. While I knew he had many other clients, Stephen always made me feel I had his full attention. The results of the settlement were very much in my favor! Thank you for all the work Stephen!

I had retained the services of another attorney for my divorce case and had serious concerns about the way it was going. I terminated that agreement and hired Ms. Klein. Immediately, the case turned around and I saw the strategy of a winner. If Klein is on the case, make sure she's on your side.

This was the most difficult experience of my life but Judith Bryant and her team made me feel empowered throughout the divorce proceedings and helped me to understand the new bright future that lied ahead. I was surprised with divorce papers by my wife of 12 years. I was totally caught off guard, scared and unsure of where to go and what I should do. A committed father of two, kicked out of my home, unsure of myself and the future that lied ahead I was luckily referred to Ms. Bryant and several other well known attorneys by a prominent family in Austin. From my initial meeting with Judith I could tell that she was different. Unlike some of the other well know Divorce Attorney’s in town Judith wanted to speak to me directly and scheduled my initial appoint within hours of my first call. From that meeting and throughout the divorce process Judith always made me feel like I was her only client. This was not a divorce case with millions of dollars in funds or assets but that didn’t make a difference to Ms. Bryant.
Judith was always one step ahead of my wife’s attorneys. That is probably why my wife had to have 3 attorneys in a 5 month timeframe. She was tough when she needed to be and often worked to manage my wife and her attorneys to keep me calm and help me through the process. Judith is well educated and speaks from experience allowing her to push for your best interest while setting appropriate expectations. She will pull you out of the drama and noise by helping you understand what is important. She is an ethical person who keeps your financials in-mind throughout the case helping you understand the cost vs. value within your divorce and strategy. Judith Bryant will be a friend that stands by your side, a coach when you need one and a tough lawyer when she has to be or needs to be.
Divorce is not easy and it's tough no matter what the situation. There is no winning, however, I received the custody I wanted and the portion of the estate I deserved thanks to the amazing work of Judith Bryant and her team.

If you are reading this review you have possibly found yourself distressed over many complex issues and should consult an attorney. In the meantime I write this to bring calm, relief and to ensure you there is light. I found myself in days past that were very dark and I interviewed numerous attorneys searching for a glimmer while contemplating a multi-decade marriage on the fast track to divorce.
From A to Z I searched, even the firms that boast of protecting men's rights, and others that offer ridiculously low cost while they file paperwork and leave it up to oneself to build, advocate or even defend their own case, but after meeting Judith I knew she was the attorney that could reclaim my life and shine light back on my future. From day one, Judith was able to put my chaotic situation into clear perspective and drew up an aggressive plan, in an easy to understand format, while assuring me I would one day wake from this dark nightmare. Initially and very confused, I imagined a standard or routine divorce where two people fell out of love, split what they acquired together and went their separate ways peacefully. Is there such a thing?
I still can't answer that and not quite sure I want to test a second go of it.
I have to say my divorce was special, or again, maybe routine. To describe it, my divorce was ugly, lengthy, complicated and bitterly contested at every stage. Judith took immediate understanding, remained steadfast throughout the process, was able to navigate the muddy waters, circumvent foreseeable conflicts, articulate solutions, while remaining professional, diligent and conscientious to me, seemingly but not, her sole client. Judith maintained an open calming dialog, solicited my concerns and worked hard to gain the desired results for me and my children. Judith is a proven and successful litigator which brought comfort in my decision not to skimp or hire the paper pushers that claimed to practice family law only to look confused over courtroom decorum, or needed directions to the courthouse if an agreement could not be made through mediation or over attorney teleconference. Judith has all the qualities one should look for in a legal representative especially when dealing with sensitive family law issues that if not properly represented can have long term and adverse effects on multiple futures. Others have asked and I always answer. Don't assume everything will be cordial, hope for the best, plan for the worst, don't skimp on your future. Judith was the Best money I ever spent and worth more than I paid. #Newlife

Judith is an outstanding lawyer. She worked diligently to help me through my divorce. Her expert knowledge was an incredible asset. My divorce was not an easy one by any means, and she won me a victory in a very long, complicated, drawn out legal battle. Through the process, I always felt as though I was her top priority. She is quick, efficient, honest and a fighter. I have recommended her to friends and coworkers and they have been very happy with her as well. I could not be more pleased with her services.

Mr. Haugen and Delaney Meadows changed my life for the better. I never felt like a client; I felt more like family. I was cared for and treated with respect.

I wanted to leave a review, because I feel grateful for what John and his team have accomplished for me. I don't ever leave online reviews, but I felt like I needed to because of what has transpired. Many years ago I hired John to handle my child support arrears case. After many months of hell and trying to show evidence of payments, John was able to win the case and have my arrearage expunged. Now just recently I had to hire John again for modification to my divorcee decree. After meeting with John and going over what was needed for change, he put together a plan for me and help me get the appropriate changes. We never made it to court because John worked it out with my ex through mediation. We got what was needed for change, and I couldn't be more happy. John is not only a great lawyer, but I now consider him a friend. I feel like he really cares about his clients, and will work for you to get the best results. He's respectful, knowledgeable, and most of all caring. I will be using John if I ever need an attorney again.

I have had the opportunity to work with several attorneys, and John Haugen is, by far, the most ethical and knowledgable attorney I've had. I think so highly of him that I recommended him to friends and they all have praised him. The word several friends used was "compassionate."
I have left several law firms feeling gouged by their practice of padding their billable hours. I have never felt that way after working with Haugen.
Plain and simple...Haugen is an honest, compassionate and knowledgable attorney.

I was referred to The Law Office of Randy Michel by a friend and colleague, and I could not be more satisfied with my experience with the whole team. Randy is not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional - he is also kind, supportive, and attentive. He always took the time to answer my questions and was amazing at explaining complicated areas of my case in a way that helped me to feel informed and empowered. I will forever be indebted to Randy and his team for helping me through a difficult situation, and I know that without them, I would not have the resolution I have today.

Randy was thoroughly prepared for every issue in every meeting. It was clear that he has a great deal of experience with divorce cases. He made sure that I completely and rationally considered all aspects of my options at each turning point as well as when it was time to make compromises and get the deal done.

Randy Michel and his paralegal, Andrea, are both amazing people! I cannot praise either one of them enough. Randy and Andrea were an absolute pleasure to work with. With Randy by my side, I was able to get through a complex divorce/custody battle and achieve the outcome I desired. Randy is very dependable attorney, knows the law well, and his attitude is truly remarkable! Randy treated me with the utmost respect, and I would highly recommend his services to anyone going through a divorce or custody battle . I won't miss the divorce process, but I will miss working with Randy and Andrea!

Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone that is honest and will shoot it very straight and as long as you’re doing your part, he will do his part. This has been a very stressful, highly contested case. Brian remained cool, calm, and positive. I honestly can’t and won’t search anywhere else. Brian is the GOAT!

Paulette Mueller made my grandmothers estate go broke, made her delinquent on her taxes (simply did not file) cancelled our homeowners insurance and accepted only roughly 8k on a full coverage 250k+ policy which has led to black mold growing in the home my grandparents built by hand making my baby very sick. Made disgusting remarks about our home upon inspection in regards to a guardianship proceeding while we remained polite and courteous despite the situation, and now, at the ripe age of 21 I am in therapy full time over the horrific consequences she and (others involved) caused that have now fallen upon my shoulders. I am utterly disappointed, and heartbroken. I will never be the same. My grandmother died in vain, under ungodly amounts of stress. May God guide Paulette to have a heart full of empathy and compassion towards her future victims. Only the Lord knows the amount of trauma and havoc she reaped on my beautiful grandmother. May God guide her to remain in a mindset of kindness, and fairness, as I wouldn’t wish this turmoil on anyone. But as my grandmother would want me to live, I forgive her. I only hope for her growth and progress in a positive direction for the future. I. Will. Never. Be. The. Same. I am gone. At the age of 21, I am now a shell of who I once was. The person that raised me from diapers, put me into college, got my first car, carried herself in such a generous and Godly manner, died in vain. May God rest her beautiful soul, because now her pain and stressors have become an everyday part of my life. The only human beings that loved me unconditionally, my grandparents(parents), are now dead and gone forever, and I am alone in this scary world. I hope Paulette can see my review as more than a mere critique but an insight to my new reality, and hopefully, some of what I said will invite a new presence of good faith to her future clients, not only for the benefit of them, but for her conscious as well. I was just a kid. God, what did we do to deserve this?

I interviewed several lawyers and made the biggest mistake of my life by going with a different attorney and not hiring Bill Neal! I ended up spending a ton of money on my first attorney and hired Bill to finish the divorce. He did the best he could with where I was when I finally hired him. If I could do it again I would hire Bill Neal from the beginning and follow his guidance all the way through the process. It is a terrible thing to get divorced and it is so much worse with the wrong attorney!

Wayne Revack is top notch. If you're looking for a great family law attorney, look no further. He helped us with our wills/end of life documents. Before my uncle passed away, Jessica prepared all of his end-of-life documents and came to the hospital so that we could get everything squared away. I can't recommend this practice enough!

Greg is an exceptional family law attorney with 30+ years of experience who demonstrated exceptional care, quick response, and dedication throughout my complicated case. His knowledge and experience were invaluable; he always made me feel like I had a strong advocate.
My case involved wastage claims, community reimbursement, multiple mediations, expert financial rebuttal, and a three-day trial. Greg is extremely knowledgeable about family law and provided invaluable guidance and advice throughout the process, explaining complex legal concepts in an easy-to-understand manner. He listened and understood my unique situation and was compassionate and empathetic. His attention to detail and thoroughness was impressive, and I always felt like my case was in the best possible hands.
He had a good sense of what fair outcomes would be and predicted them, allowing me to evaluate risks. He did not back down and secured me a fair judgment; He also secured my attorney's fees (a BIG WIN) back from my spouse for delaying the case. His team was exceptionally strong with responses, discovery, maintaining over 5000 documents, and presenting them effectively to the judge.
I highly recommend Greg to anyone who needs a family law attorney, and he will get you the justice you think you deserve. He is a skilled and experienced attorney who will fight tirelessly to protect your rights and interests.

Greg and his staff made my divorce efficient and painless. I relied on his judgment because it is clear that he is familiar with the various options at each stage, and the pros and cons of each. Although my case was simple, with no children and no disputed assets, he was no less devoted to resolving my matter.
Greg returned my calls and emails promptly every time, and his rates are very reasonable. I recommend Greg Hitt with absolutely no reservation.

HIGHLY recommend. Mrs Krotcher and her team (from the front desk to her Para Susan) were excellent- hard working, honest, committed to fighting for me, showed care, and were very helpful in every way. Mrs Krotcher got me a great order in place that protects the things most important to me. I am forever grateful for her, and if I ever need an attorney again, she will be the first person I call. Yes, she’s expensive, and WORTH EVERY CENT!

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.
