I work on Family Law cases as a mental health expert. JoAl Sheridan is one of the best attorneys in Travis and Williamson counties. When my clients ask me for referrals, her name is on my "top five list". She is dedicated to her clients. She takes their concerns to heart and conscientiously advocates for them and their children. She does not unnecessarily take issues into the courtroom, but is not afraid to enter that realm if the case warrants such action.

Candice and her team have been amazing from the beginning. Candice met me right where I was and worked with me on the topics I was ready and able to work on. She understood my situation, and gave meaningful, actionable advice starting our first call. She treated me with empathy and I felt seen and understood as a human being. Candice was also excellent during mediation and trial. She represented me well and the outcomes are great. I really appreciate how she prepared me and explained to me which outcomes were within the realm of possibility and which ones were not. She is very experienced and professional while keeping things real and connecting well on a human level.

I had the opportunity to work with Attorney Lianna Garza Smith and her team during a challenging and extended divorce process, and I am extremely thankful for their effective and strategic support. After transitioning from another attorney, Lianna took over my case and made a significant impact with her prompt and efficient handling.
Lianna swiftly assessed the complexities of my situation and developed a clear, strategic plan. Her timely and thorough approach was crucial, particularly when we needed to address the temporary orders hearing before the final decree. She ensured that all necessary steps were taken promptly to secure interim arrangements that supported my child's well-being and stability.
A key focus of my case was child custody, and Lianna was exceptional in managing this sensitive issue. She concentrated on helping me establish protective parenting arrangements, advocating effectively to ensure a stable and secure environment for my son throughout the process.
Lianna’s extensive knowledge of family law and her strategic insight were evident from the start. She provided direct, actionable advice and was consistently available to answer my questions and address my concerns.
If you need a divorce attorney who is both efficient and committed to achieving effective protective parenting arrangements, including handling temporary orders hearings, I highly recommend Attorney Lianna Garza Smith. Her expertise and focus on my child’s well-being were crucial in reaching a favorable outcome.

My family and I have worked with Massingill Attorneys & Counselors at Law a few times over the past few years with our Estate Planning, Trust and other situations. They are always very responsive to our needs and timelines, and quick to point out options that could benefit us in the future.
Outside of being extremely knowledgeable, it brings my family a lot of peace to know that Josh and his team have made sure we have covered all the bases. I might also point out that they are THE MOST TRUSTWORTHY group I have every worked with. It's refreshing to spend time with attorneys who really do have your best interest at heart and not just their own. Thank you Massingill A&C at Law!

I was charged with an assault family member case last year and initially hired an attorney to represent me. However, I felt misrepresented due to poor communication and things not moving forward—I had no idea what was going on with my case.
That completely changed when I decided to work with Mr. Kevin Bennett. From day one, he provided me with far more information and updates about my case, including the police report, 911 call, and prosecutor’s notes—things my previous attorney never shared with me. What I appreciated most about working with Mr. Bennett was that he personally handled my case and kept me informed every step of the way.
Thanks to his dedication and expertise, my case was dismissed. I sincerely hope to never find myself in a similar situation again, but if I or any of my friends or family ever need a great attorney, without a doubt, I will call Mr. Bennett.

After speaking to a few different attorneys regarding my case, I knew that Kevin was the right fit for me. Kevin was extremely responsive, professional, and showed genuine interest in my case. It was apparent that Kevin is extremely motivated and has a wealth of experience in dealing with criminal cases. I cannot thank Kevin enough for assisting me in getting my Public Intoxication charge dismissed in a timely manner. Thank you.

Neil represented me in a rather complicated divorce case. He did an outstanding job and I highly recommend him. One kind advice: do tell him the whole story so he can present your case as thorough as possible. Do not hold back in conversations with him as you may think it is embarrassing or perhaps not that relevant. Neil will decide that for you and handle possible obstacles the best way.

Neil has been amazing through my process. He is professional and easy to talk to. Neil was able to guide me through the very frustrating situations showing me my options and most importantly helping me when what I needed most was patience and trust (which is hard for me). We had numerous changes from opposing team and Neil navigated through it explaining everything to me as he nailed it!
Neil is very knowledgeable about the law, the process and most importantly- he is great working with opposing council. I would highly recommend Neil and his excellent staff. Many thanks to Valerie for her patience with my relentless check ins.

Divorce sucks! Micah and his team made us suck less! Not only are they patient and understanding but they’re professionals who help you stay focused and be as objective as possible. That itself is a difficult feat because to many, family legal disputes represent the worst times in people’s lives. I was valued well, represented well and cared for professionally.

William T. Lachowsky has now helped me sort through two child custody cases, and while I pray that I never need his help again, I can highly recommend his services to anyone needing guidance and counsel during a separation or custody case. His attention and presence are more than you could ask for; always professional, straight-forward and a great judge of the situation at hand and how to best navigate it. I come from a family of lawyers and can honestly say he is more attentive and kinder hearted than all of them. Thank you, Will.

Pete did a fantastic job; from managing expectations to securing a result that made me feel justice was done.

Pete’s determination and knowledge of the law made me trust the process; when most attorneys (and clients) would have settled. Highly recommended!!

I don't even know where to start with the amazing and caring service I got from this firm. Deanna and Paula were absolutely amazing. My divorce case was not an easy one at all from all aspects and Weinman & associates were there for me every day, every moment, every morning and evening. These ladies are truly angels and they saved me from being down and feeling the pain of going through a divorce. I was provided with all the info and data I needed at anytime, I had a direct line via text and calls to my lawyer at any moment. My case ended pretty quick and that is really thanks to Deanna's support and consultation she provided me daily and weekly. The process was very clear and this firm really feels like a family during the hardest times!
I will recommend this firm to anyone who is in need of family law support, and especially Deanna! Miracles do happen and they made my life much easier and calm to head toward new start! Thank you so much girls!

Daryl Weinman is just an amazing attorney! She is super smart, very knowledgeable in family law (believe me, there are family law attorneys who aren’t), super efficient, and very helpful. I have experience working with other family law attorneys. I’m super glad I have switched to Ms. Weinman. It was worth every penny!!! A lot of lawyers charge the same, however, they are not even close to Daryl’s expertise! All of Ms. Weinman’s team is a pleasure to work with, very professional, intelligent, and with strong work ethic!

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!

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.

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 read the reviews here before I booked a consultation with Kimbrough Legal.
My consultation was great. My attorney seemed very compassionate and told me that they’d be able to get the results needed quickly.
The first red flag should have been that they didn’t understand what type of case I was hiring them for. My matter is complicated because the opposing counsel is a very special brand of wicked, but when boiled down to drown out the smoke and mirrors, it really isn’t that complicated.
The second red flag should have been that they failed to appear at a hearing I notified them about, that ended up costing me an “inconvenience payment” to the opposing counsel for my attorney not showing up. Then my attorney telling me to just not pay it and then later “it’s not a big deal”.
The third red flag should have been that they estimated my matter was going to cost an extra 40k on top of the 15k I’d already paid..
We mediated in a single session, 1 week later.
But the best part is that since the mediation, I’ve been charged over FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS for mostly for “emails” to opposing counsel.
Did they draft documents that were assigned as a result of the mediation? No.
Not until I threatened to fire the team. And then magically work appeared. But not after saying that it would be more expensive for me, to make them file a motion to withdraw.. ok.
I’ve been backed into a corner of “we’re almost finished” for EIGHT MONTHS post mediation. No final orders entered. Nothing. My ex-husband and his attorney have been putting me through the wringer because I have no court order for the mediated terms, and Kimbrough Legal says they can’t do anything about it.
Well, I finally got fed up and hired a new attorney. She managed to not only get in touch with the opposing counsel, but now has to FIX ALL THE WORK that I’ve already paid for because it’s wrong.
This firm has literally wasted tens of thousands of dollars that I don’t have, with ZERO result, outside of a successful mediation, which was through a third party, and paid for separately.
BEWARE. DO NOT believe the reviews and do not believe them when they say that your matter will be resolved quickly.
They’ll bleed you dry and leave you hanging.
*edit to add* I was called by Tycha personally and threatened for leaving this honest review.
I was told to remove it with 24 hours or face action for liable, slander, & defamation.
I don’t appreciate being threatened, and now I understand why there aren’t more less-than-five-star reviews.

I recently went through a divorce after 14 years of marriage. Although it was painful, I initially let my ex-wife set the terms to expedite the process. However, we had disagreements on several key issues, leading to amendments after she filed.
One major point of contention was our house, which I was on track to pay off in 8 years. When I opposed selling it, I was offered a $50k buyout and given 10 days to move out. At this point, I sought legal counsel and found Newberry Law, PLLC through an internet search. I scheduled an appointment with Joe Newberry, who explained his strategy for my case. After two months of working with the opposing counsel, he recommended mediation as the most cost-effective option. Two months later, my divorce was finalized, and I was awarded the house with 90 days to buy out my ex-spouse at the agreed amount.
Unfortunately, the bank holding my mortgage denied my request for an equity loan twice. The original loan was for $180k in 2011, with an outstanding balance of $83k at the time of the divorce. Out of the blue, Joe Newberry introduced me to his business associate, Ryan Leahy from Leahy Lending. I connected with Ryan and secured an equity loan to buy out my ex-spouse.
My experience with Joe Newberry and his team has been a blessing. I am divorced, still in my home, and even receiving a refund from my retainer. If you’ve exhausted all means to save your marriage, seek legal counsel. Emotions and perspectives change, so don’t leave the outcome of your divorce in the hands of your spouse. I highly recommend Newberry Law, PLLC. They understood my situation, knew what I wanted, and supported me throughout the process.

I deal with lawyers across a fairly wide spectrum of practice areas and so far as I can tell, there are two types of lawyers: (1) good lawyers who aim to get to fair, peaceful resolutions as quickly as possible, and (2) a-holes.
Luckily I got to know Newberry Law pretty well over the 2+ years it took to settle my divorce, and I'll tell you Joe and his team are squarely entrenched as the first kind of lawyer.
It was by no means easy going through a particularly combative divorce but I always felt, though at times we had our disagreements, Joe's advice centered on my best interest - but more importantly - the best interest of my kids.
When the whole thing finally did come to a head, Joe and his team were ON POINT in the courtroom and, on more than one occasion, made the opposing counsel look amateurish and disheveled by comparison.
Newberry Law is a highly competent team who will help you navigate what is a particularly complex process and keep you pointed in the right direction while you reconcile this major life change. Joe and his team are the right people to align yourself with.
If you've made it this far reading this review, I'm sorry for your situation but you owe it to yourself to pick up the phone and contact Joe to start a conversation.

Fantastic representation! Christine and Jessah were wonderful! Everyone is very professional, meticulous and honest. My divorce was handled with incredible efficiency; it could have easily become a year(s) long nightmare, but they worked hard to get it done in a timely manner, potentially saving me thousands (which they would have made). Christine and Jessah really fought for me and guided me through an emotionally difficult journey. They also handled my name and gender change with speed, efficiency and consideration. I just can't overstate how magnificent Cha Law is! Best decision I ever made!

The team over at CHA were absolutely fantastic! From start to finish they made sure that everything was just so and as a result I am legally me. 😊 Not only do I not dread social situations where I may be carded anymore, or going through the airport, I'm excited about being carded (which at 40 is no small feat 😅)
Are the services offered absolutely necessary? No, you can go through this process on your own, but their fees were not exorbitant by any stretch and they were work every penny for the peace of mind alone that it was being done right and wouldn't get kicked back.

Chris Kirker is definitely the man you want sitting next to you rather than across from in the court room. He proved that every single time he stepped foot in that courthouse. As a domestic violence victim, he provided me the feeling of safety, confidence, understanding, and eagerness to do what was right. I have nothing but gratitude and admiration for Chris Kirker and his firm Kirker Davis. It was a special experience seeing the level of knowledge, skill, and care Chris takes in his cases. I recommend him for everything Family Law including but not limited to domestic violence and unique cases. Not to mention the special work he and his wife do in our community, they are such good people with such big hearts.

Kirker Davis is a truly special firm. They have helped get me through the most challenging time in my life. Divorce is difficult enough, but when there is alot of contention, it makes it even worse. I hired Chris Kirker and his team 10 months ago. I was the underdog. I was a mess. From the very beginning, they had a strategy based on my particular case. They executed the strategy with respect, skill, experience, passion and precision. Each and every litigation event was a victory for us and accomplished with the utmost integrity. Chris Kirker, Ashley Morgan, Julie Hill and many others in the firm worked tirelessly for me. They maintained excellent communication and response. No question was too much. They held my hand, reassured me with honesty, listened to me, explained things to me, were compassionate and respectful, AND extremely understanding. They are just really good people. I am truly grateful to have found Chris, Ashley and the KD team to represent me. They gave their tremendous expertise and extraordinary talent to my case, and got me to the other side against seemingly impossible odds.

I found Chris Kirker thru Avvo with awesome reviews. Shortly after I called, they set up the first appointment very quickly which made the firm stand out easily and left me a great first impression when I need the help right away.
Chris has broad experience and solid knowledge & expertise which is a great fit for my case given the complexities due to my international marriage and child custody.
Going thru a divorce is difficult. To make it as smooth as possible, Chris helped me have a comprehensive understanding of divorce process and set up proper expectations with thorough strategies. He listened to me carefully and fully understood my concerns and priorities. It is a great relief for me that his firm took care of the case with my kids and my best interests in mind all the time.
The whole team are very dedicated, proactive, professional, and always there for me when I need recommendations or support. Thanks to them, I am confident to go thru this lengthy divorce. I really appreciate everything they have done to make the divorce as easy as it could be.
Highly recommend Chris and his firm to anyone who is looking for a strong, trustworthy and caring team.

I have been working with Brandon and Travis for about 3 years now due to ongoing custody issues I have been dealing with. I have just finalized orders for the 3rd time and my cases have not been easy. Brandon and Travis are always available when needed and have jumped into action when I really needed them. I'm hoping my custody issues are resolved for good but there is no doubt if I ever find myself needing a family lawyer they will always be by my side!

Katherine Burnstein came highly recommended by another lawyer I've known for years, and worked for nearly 18 months on my divorce and custody case. Katherine possesses a perfect balance of compassion, empathy, and occasional brutal honesty when necessary.
Her years of experience and her clear love of ongoing learning were invaluable in helping me navigate a complex situation that I knew little about. She had the patience and willingness to listen and help me figure out what I wanted and needed, without ever pushing me toward her own conclusions. When the need arose for specialists outside of the field of law to assist with the case, I was very impressed with the experts she brought it.
Katherine showed keen attention to detail, catching little details in the settlement proposals that were either errors or ambiguities. In the end, I benefitted from her ability to catch these details that others might have missed.
Katherine seems to have good working relationships with other family lawyers in town and is respectful, professional, and friendly when communicating with them. When she needs to, however, she has a fierce strength and voice that gets what needs to be done, done.
Going through a divorce is an agonizing experience, and it meant the world to me to have someone like Katherine fighting in my corner and walking with me through that difficult time. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Kathryn is personable, knowledgeable, articulate, thorough, and patient. From day one, I knew that she was going to be a source of comfort during the most trying time of my life. As someone who has never been involved in any sort of court procedure, I felt at ease because she is the best communicator, explaining the process, my rights and what a realistic outcome would look like. I never knew an attorney could be so encouraging. Kathryn has heart, empathy and she was there with me through the whole thing. Her staff is welcoming and friendly, and everyone in the office is prompt about attending your needs. I will never have to search for a family lawyer again because I lucked out and found the best one in town. On my court date, I felt unbelievably calm and collected because she had prepared me well and I knew exactly what to expect. My case closed with little stress and I know it's because she worked diligently to ensure the best outcome for my child and me. I highly recommend Kathryn, especially if you are aiming to protect your child's rights.

Kathryn handled my divorce. She was absolutely intent on making sure I got the very best settlement and on ensuring I understood the repercussions of my decisions during the process. She was direct, especially when she believed I was making decisions against my best interests.
She was also flexible when my now-ex-spouse and I were making unusual requests.
Kathryn was easy to reach when I had questions.
She was supportive, which I very much appreciated.
I don't think I realized quite how well she had represented me until the entire process was complete and I could see how great the settlement turned out for me and the children.
I highly, highly recommend her.

Grant took my case on extremely short notice and still came to the first hearing well prepared. What could have been an unfortunate outcome for me turned into the best outcome I could have hoped for. His knowledge of the law and practice and procedure was clear within spending a short amount of time with him. He's super professional, courteous and has tons of patience. Grant has a long and successful career ahead of him, no doubt!

We used grant as our attorney in a child support modification case. He was completely dedicated to detail in his work for us, all while letting us be in charge of what we wanted. I was able to contact him easily, or get contacted back quickly. He has a great demeanor that I could best describe as compassionate, pleasant, polite, and most of all did his job well. I whole heartedly recommend hiring him if you want a job well done.

I don't even know where to start I have so much good to say about my experience working with Grant.
I was originally divorced in 2014 and have had 11 legal proceedings since the divorce. Attack after attack after attack from my ex. She had unlimited resources through her mom and used financial extortion tactics by hiring attorneys that could stage a better "performance" in court than the ones I had hired. Facts be damned I was punished over and over. It was disheartening because my kids were affected by all of this insanity and eventually pulled away from her and lived with me full time. They were 14 when this first started happening, and despite me having these kids full time she continued to attack me legally asserting that I had poisoned their relationship with her and alienated them from her. She knew because of the financial destruction she had caused me that I did not have the resources she did and wielded that as a weapon again and again.
When I finally had an option to fight back I was referred to Grant by a friend. HE WAS SUCH A BREATH OF FRESH AIR from the other attorneys I had worked with. It is obvious he loves what he does, he is enthusiastic, he genuinely cares about his clients, and he is a BULLDOG in the courtroom! A respectful but firm and incredibly detail oriented cross-examination of my ex completely unraveled her and created the opening I needed to get a Motion To Confer allowed by the judge for my kids. Grant, unlike the other attorneys I had in the past, fully embraced this option and pushed for it hard. The judge allowed the kids to visit privately with him, and after more than an hour with each kid exactly what I had wished for years happened. I was vindicated and the judge shut down every angle that my ex was using to come after me yet again a full 4 years after our divorce.
Grant helped me believe in the judicial system again. He also helped me believe that the right thing will eventually prevail if you have GOOD REPRESENTATION! Do not make the mistake of thinking that all attorneys are created equal. Grant was the perfect fit for my case. He is young and energetic and gave my case a massive shot in the arm. He has a team of other seasoned attorneys in his firm that worked together on my case, and his enthusiasm was the secret weapon. It was such an amazing experience having him represent me and my kids.
Thank you, Grant, from the bottom of my heart.

Keith came highly recommended from a friend whose husband serves as a Judge and who spoke highly of Keith's reputation for doing what is fair and just for the children of divorce. He served as the lead attorney on my divorce case and did the initial consultation with me. Keith managed to put me at ease despite the obvious emotional distress I was under, and although I ended up working with an associate at his firm, he remained involved in my case, offering his nearly encyclopedic knowledge of family law as needed. I am so grateful to have had him in my corner during this difficult time in my life, and can't say enough about him and his entire firm.

I've used Ashley Morgan at Kirker Davis for several family law issues. I found her to be smart as hell, compassionate, hard working, and she posesses a great attention to detail.
When I was initially seeking representation a few years ago, most of the attorneys I spoke to immediately suggested we go to war with the other side. Ashley listened to my goals, led the charge on an amicable divorce, even when the opposing parties were difficult, and the result was a legal bill that felt fair.

What a Child Support Lawyer Can Do for You
A child support lawyer specializes in legal issues related to the financial support that one parent provides to another for the upbringing of their children. These lawyers assist with establishing, enforcing, and modifying child support orders, ensuring that the financial needs of the child are met, including housing, food, healthcare, education, and other essentials. A child support lawyer can also represent parents in disputes over the amount of support, ensure fair calculations based on income, and handle legal proceedings if one parent fails to meet their obligations.
Whether you're seeking to establish child support, modify an existing order, or enforce payments, a child support lawyer can help you navigate the legal system and protect your rights and the well-being of your child.
When Should I Hire a Child Support Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a child support lawyer when you need assistance with any of the following child support matters:
- Establishing child support: If you are going through a divorce or separation and need to establish a child support order, a lawyer can help ensure that the support amount is fair and accurately calculated.
- Modifying child support orders: If there has been a significant change in circumstances, such as a job loss, income change, or a child's financial needs, a lawyer can help you request a modification to the existing child support order.
- Enforcing child support payments: If the other parent has failed to make court-ordered child support payments, a lawyer can help enforce the order through legal means such as wage garnishment, property liens, or even legal action.
- Disputing child support calculations: If you believe the child support amount has been incorrectly calculated based on your income or expenses, a lawyer can help you challenge the calculation and seek a fair adjustment.
- Paternity disputes: If paternity needs to be established before child support can be ordered, a lawyer can assist with DNA testing and legal proceedings.
- Interstate child support cases: If the parents live in different states, navigating child support laws can be complex. A lawyer can help ensure the proper jurisdiction is established and that child support is enforced across state lines.
- Child support during custody disputes: If child custody and child support are being determined simultaneously, a lawyer can help ensure that both issues are resolved fairly and in the best interest of the child.
Hiring a lawyer early can help ensure that your child support case is handled effectively and that your child's financial needs are met.
What Does a Child Support Lawyer Do?
A child support lawyer provides a variety of legal services to help parents secure, modify, and enforce child support arrangements. Their responsibilities often include:
- Filing for child support: A lawyer can help you initiate the legal process to obtain a child support order, ensuring that all necessary documentation is submitted and deadlines are met.
- Calculating child support: A lawyer can help ensure that child support is calculated fairly based on both parents' incomes, the needs of the child, and other factors such as healthcare and education costs.
- Negotiating child support agreements: If both parents are willing to negotiate, a lawyer can help facilitate an agreement on child support outside of court, which can then be approved by a judge.
- Representing you in court: If negotiations fail or the other parent contests the child support amount, a lawyer will represent you in family court, presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
- Modifying support orders: A lawyer can help you file a request for modification if circumstances change, such as a loss of income or an increase in the child’s financial needs.
- Enforcing child support: If the other parent is not making court-ordered payments, a lawyer can take legal steps to enforce the order through wage garnishment, property liens, or other measures.
- Handling complex cases: In cases involving high incomes, self-employment, or complicated financial situations, a lawyer can help ensure that all relevant factors are considered in determining child support.
How Are Child Support Lawyers Paid?
Child support lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work required. Common payment methods include:
- Hourly rate: Most child support 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 will depend on how much time the lawyer spends on your case, including preparation, negotiations, and court appearances.
- Flat fee: For more straightforward cases, such as uncontested child support agreements or basic modifications, some lawyers may offer a flat fee that covers all services related to the case.
- Retainer: Many lawyers require a retainer, which is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on your case. The amount of the retainer depends on the expected complexity of the case.
- Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some lawyers offer sliding scale fees based on income or provide pro bono (free) services in cases where clients cannot afford to pay full legal fees, especially when children’s needs are at stake.
It’s important to discuss fees with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will be charged and what services are covered.
How Much Does a Child Support Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a child support lawyer varies depending on the complexity of the case, whether it's contested or uncontested, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost estimates include:
- Uncontested child support cases: Legal fees may range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the complexity of the paperwork and the lawyer’s fees.
- Contested child support cases: Legal fees can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more, especially if the case involves significant court time.
- Hourly rates: Lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour for child support cases, with higher rates for more experienced attorneys or cases that involve complex financial issues.
- Modification or enforcement: Fees for modifying or enforcing a child support order may range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the complexity and the need for court intervention.
Always ask for a detailed cost estimate during your consultation so you can plan your budget accordingly.
Top Questions to Ask a Child Support Lawyer
Before hiring a child support lawyer, it’s important to ask questions to ensure they are the right fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with child support cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it’s establishing, modifying, or enforcing child support orders. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees, or requires a retainer, and ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and any potential challenges you may face. -
How long will the process take?
Child support cases can take time, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what factors may cause delays. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court. -
What documents should I prepare?
Ask the lawyer what financial documents and other information you should bring to help them calculate child support and build your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Child Support Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable child support lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- 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 have successfully handled child support cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on child support matters.
- Check for certifications: Some lawyers may have certifications in family law or membership in organizations like the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), which can indicate their expertise in child support and family law issues.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a child support lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Income documents: Bring pay stubs, tax returns, W-2s, or any other documentation of your income and the other parent’s income, as this will be used to calculate child support.
- Existing child support orders: If there are any existing child support or custody orders, bring copies for the lawyer to review.
- Child-related expenses: Provide documentation of your child’s medical bills, education expenses, daycare costs, and any other expenses that should be factored into the child support calculation.
- Communication with the other parent: Bring any communication between you and the other parent regarding child support, whether through emails, text messages, or written agreements.
- List of questions: Prepare a list of questions about your case, the legal process, and the lawyer’s fees.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice on how to proceed.
