Jason Nelson my friend's careers restored and justice has been served I would hire him right away if you have a problem

Maggie helped me when I was first starting the divorce process from my now ex-husband. She was flexible and helped work around my schedule, and she was able to give me immediate attention to get temporary orders in place quick since I had an abusive husband with substance abuse issues, too. I greatly appreciate the work she did for me to make sure that my son and I were safe during this scary time. I definitely recommend her.

I highly recommend Saira Ukani for family law representation. The true mark of her legal skill is her ability to be professional and thorough, while also compassionate and understanding. She is never dismissive, and takes the client’s position as her own. She explained the process in simple terms I could understand, and always looked out for my best interest. Importantly, she has always provided positive results. If you need an attorney, I recommend having Saira Ukani in your corner, you won't be disappointed. It is with the highest esteem that I recommend Saira Ukani for representation, and with sincere gratitude that I thank her for the outstanding job she has done handling my case.

Attorney Adam was incredible in handling my case after my car was totaled. He was a great communicator, listened attentively, and truly cared about my situation. During mediation, he was a fierce advocate, fighting to get me the best outcome possible.
A special thank you to his paralegal, Laura, who was professional, organized, and made the process even smoother.
Adam’s commitment to the Austin community is also admirable, with his firm donating to local schools and charities. He’s not just a great attorney, but a genuinely good man. Highly recommend!

I am almost at a loss for words on how to begin this review, but I need to stress that I am NOT a client of Byrd Davis Alden & Henrichson, LLP. It is rare for me to recommend an organization without being a client, but today is different. Even though I am not currently a client, I cannot express enough how grateful I am for Byrd Davis Alden & Henrichson, LLP.
When I spoke with Carson May about a troubling incident, I was honest about my lack of legal expertise. I sought his guidance on whether I should seek legal representation. Carson patiently and thoughtfully shared crucial legal insights with me, sticking strictly to facts that deepened my comprehension. Despite initially believing that my situation might require legal action, Carson objectively explained why litigation might not be necessary, and I trust and completely agree with his judgment.
Carson's professionalism, patience, and expert knowledge was exhibited throughout our conversation. His ability to break down complex legal concepts for me was incredibly valuable and greatly appreciated. He made sure that I left our discussion feeling enlightened, reassured, and well-prepared to handle my situation in the best way possible.
I hope I never have to face a situation that requires legal assistance, but if I do, Byrd Davis Alden & Henrichson, LLP will be my first and only choice. Carson, thank you again for your invaluable time and expertise. My family and I are eternally grateful.
Byrd Davis Alden & Henrichson, LLP is undeniably an exceptional law firm, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I cannot recommend Christian at The Smith Family Law Firm strongly enough. This past winter, I went through a very messy and convoluted divorce. This law firm knows and practices the law thoroughly and precisely. They stuck to the facts and separated from the emotion of it all. They are extremely professional. The guidance through a very messy experience was unparalleled. She is a top-notch lawyer, and makes you feel like you have the very best in your corner.

Christian and her team have been a lifesaver. Going through a divorce is so stressful and expensive to begin with, worrying about legal fees just adds to the stress. I was fortunate to find Christian after switching lawyers midway through the process. I felt that my divorce was dragging on and I was getting more and more in debt because of lawyer fees. Christian understood my situation and was able to help me do what was best for my family while keeping costs in my price range. She is an honest lawyer which is hard to come by. I always felt she had my best interest in mind and never took advantage of her expertise in law, even when that meant a pay cut for her. If you have to go through the pain of a divorce, I would recommend Christian and her team. They are efficient and honest and I am so grateful for all their hard work!

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.

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.

After speaking with Nida, I had 100% confidence and trust in her and her knowledge/understanding of the law, ability to evaluate the facts, and professionalism. I knew I was in good hands and that she knew what she was doing. She drafted an excellent contract for me. In her dealings with me, she not only looked out for me because I was her client, but because she genuinely cares. I would definitely retain Nida again without hesitation and I recommend Nida to everyone who needs a family law lawyer.

Outstanding Legal Representation – Highly Recommended!
I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional legal services provided by Smith & Vinson. Facing serious charges, I was terrified about the potential consequences, including jail time, fines, and probation. However, Charlie Falck expertly navigated my case with unmatched professionalism and skill.
From our first meeting, it was clear that Charlie was deeply knowledgeable and dedicated to securing the best possible outcome. They took the time to thoroughly understand my situation, explain the legal process, and keep me informed every step of the way. Their strategy was thoughtful, precise, and ultimately, incredibly effective.
Thanks to Charlie’s expertise, I received the best outcome I could have hoped for—**no jail time, no fines, and no probation**. Their hard work and commitment to my case not only kept me out of jail but also allowed me to move forward with my life without the burden of legal penalties.
If you need an attorney who is compassionate, skilled, and will fight tirelessly on your behalf, I highly recommend Smith & Vinson. They are truly a lifesaver!

Pick Murray. Here is WHY:
Murray was recommended to me by an unavailable lawyer whom I'd reached out to for guidance. I was upset at first but decided to contact Murray anyway. He provided a free, phone consultation in which he walked me through the whole process of applying for my husband to be a US permanent resident. After the phone conversation, I asked for a second call and sent several emails with follow-up questions. Murray was patient, kind and made me feel confident about the process.
Fast forward, the filing process was a breeze with the office's online portal. My husband and I constantly communicated with Stephanie (paralegal) and Oscar (legal assistant). We were kept updated with all changes regarding our case. We completed the process, as recommended by Murray, and were approved for a green card and SS card in 3 months. The whole team treated us well, and we are thankful for the smooth experience.
Personal update:
Our case was very straightforward. Here is our situation and how we filed if potential clients of Murray may wonder:
I am a US citizen and my husband is a Canadian (former Indian) citizen. We filed for his permanent residency so that we may live together in the US. We provided all our documents with the initial filing to avoid any delays. We filed for the Green Card, SS card, work permit, and travel document all at once. We included my husband's medical examination as well. We did have to complete a biometrics appointment (took 10 minutes tops), but the immigration interview was waived. My husband received his Green Card before his work permit or travel document applications were processed. Hope you have a great experience and good luck!
We live outside of Dallas and never visited Murray's physical office. Everything was virtual.

recently had the opportunity to be involved in employing the O'Connell Law Firm to represent a family member for a personal situation. Doug O'Connell personally met with us and was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He introduced us to his staff, which was very impressed with and was glad to be able to start this potential relationship on a face to face note. Doug reviewed his extensive legal background and his very impressive military background. Knowing he had served our country during times of war and beyond immediately gave me a feeling that we could trust him. Shortly, as the meeting began, it was very evident that this is the person, I wanted to fight for my family member. He spoke with a kind, but firm voice outlining every step he would begin to take to fight for my family member immediately. He delivered on everything word he was able to deliver on and he was upfront and honest on those items he could not control and explained the risks involved. His extensive legal background and the stellar reputation his firm has earned, was personally noted as he updated us along the way. The entire staff was engaged and supportive in fighting for my family member. It felt as if I had the entire law firm defending my family member. The compassion Doug and his office had for the entire time period was incredible. We were blessed with a positive outcome of our situation. I would not want any other lawyer in Austin, representing myself or my family than Doug O'Connell, whether victorious with the outcome or we would have to face the reality of life. Doug would be by your side fighting for his clients, families of the clients, and for truth and justice as if you were a fellow solider or just an ordinary person.

I don't know where to begin this post, because Doug and Laurie were absolute angels to our family in a time of need. Aside from being top-tier lawyers, they became friends, and a huge source of support during a difficult time. They worked so diligently and with such excellence on our case. They are hands down the best team you could possibly want on your side. Words don't suffice to express the gratitude we have for them and the amazing work they have done. This is the team that will have your back 100%.

Massingill attorney Katherine Wyatt was great as she went over and above to service my case but even more after to have my back to protect me. Owner/Attorney Josh Massingill was understanding and jumped in too. Best attorneys one could have in their corner. It’s not about money it’s service, dedication and hard work to a positive outcome for every client. I’ll be forever grateful to them for their customer care and professionalism. Made me always feel my case was their number 1 priority.

Megan Evans with FVF Law has been amazing to work with. She has always been very professional. She has been very quick and responsive to return calls, emails and text messages. Megan has been thorough in explaining each step of the process, has kept me up to date on everything, as well as, just checking in with me in.
From start to finish, I have been extremely happy with her after my car accident and would request her and recommend her every time.

Nikki’s expertise in family law is unparalleled. Although I have never formally retained Mrs. Maples, she has been by my side to collaborate whenever I have needed her. Nikki and her firms communication's skills are excellent, and truth be told, hard to find these days. Everyone here is responsive (consistently) and easy to talk to. Unfortunately, I have been dealing with a complex divorce case for way too long but, Nikki has truly helped me with sound advise and reassurance. She also cares about my overall wellbeing and what is best for me and my family.. and if you don’t think this is important… think again. she will not steer you in the wrong direction and will always have options for you, even if they are not favorable, and transparency can be uncommon in this type of law. She is sensitive to what her clients are going through.. you will want an attorney that cares about the full picture. Save up, do what you have to do to have this team on your side! Blessings to this firm and anyone reading this.

They basically filed a lawsuit every month against me until I eventually lost custody of my kids. They have no integrity, well let their clients lie about rape in court to get custody. I’m a good dad but unfortunately law firms like these will pepper you to death with lawsuits until you can no longer afford an attorney, and win. They shouldn’t counsel their clients to lie in court.

First, I’m an attorney myself so I had fairly high expectations for the law firm representing me in my divorce. Walters Gilbreath was recommended to me by other attorneys to be, one of the best, if not the best litigation family law firm in Austin and I can say those attorneys did not steer me wrong. Luke Wallace was the responsible attorney for my case and he was awesome to work with and extremely competent. I think communication is key to an attorney-client relationship and Luke did not disappoint and kept me updated the whole time. Luke is also intelligent, hard working, a good listener, and either knows his stuff or was able to research and find the answer quickly; all attributes necessary to be a great attorney. I was also represented by Jake Gilbreath and he was awesome to watch in court. Overall, very impressed with my representation by Walters Gilbreath and would recommend them to anyone needing representation in the area of family law.

Worst experience ever. I thought I was hiring the best. 75k and two years later and zero results I found out I was wrong. I wanted Jake which he spent time to go over the custody case. Seemed to have a plan. He assigned a jr. attorney to handle the ins and out. He does the heavy lifting. That was going good. Until the jr attorney stopped communicating text phone and email. Happened twice. I contacted the office and I guess they had a parting of ways. Got assigned a new jr attorney. Jake cut his rate for the inconvenience. the new attorney was 12 months out of law school. I expressed my concerns. Well we got ran in circles by opposing counsel for over a year. We were never on offense just on defense the entire time. I would ask what can we do and we simply never had a good strategy. Final trial got pushed by opposing. Got reset 3 months later. 3 days before final trial opposing counsel wanted to reset again which I was advised to do. I did not agree and didn’t want to push back. Jake convinced me to reschedule again. But what I found out a week later is Jake’s office never filed the correct paperwork to be on the docket. So they are trying to file 3 days before we go to trial and of course not telling me. I find out from digging into things. They said they did file. I have docs from the court showing they were Trying to file 3 days before and it got denied. So we didn’t really have to reschedule because of opposing counsel. We were never on the docket. That’s why we had to reschedule.
Other issues was they actually filed documents with the court on my behalf with the wrong attorney name, wrong dates and in one part of the document they put someone else’s name on it. It was actually filed that way they never showed it to me before they filed it.
At the end of the day I had to fire them. I talked the CEO which is Jake’s wife. No one wanted to take responsibility.
at the end I got 9k back from them, which I thought was not even close to what it should been based on their incompetence

We really appreciated his knowledge, attention to detail, and how everyone was willing to go the extra mile for us. If you're looking for a realtor who truly cares, I strongly recommend Aaron!

I would NOT recommend Hembree Bell to an enemy. I was told that I would get my retainer fee back in full, which did NOT happen, and I was relying on that money to help support my children and I until I could get back on my own two feet. Please don't make the same mistake I did by trusting these people with such delicate matters.

I used Shane and his team once again. This time was to ensure that my daughter was to remain living in Texas with me. This is the third time that I have needed help from the McFarland Law Firm. This was my first time working with his new team that includes Mo and Anna. Once again, McFarland law did not disappoint. Communication was clear, honest, and above all constant. Brilliant strategies in court. Shane and team were very honest and clear about all the options that could happen moving forward so that there were no real surprises. Shane will tell you what you don't want to hear as well. This kind of honesty is important as well. Shane and his team demonstrated the upmost professionalism towards the the other parties involved even when emotions ran a bit high.
The fact that I have used and trusted Shane McFarland and his team three times should be a review enough. In the event that I need help with a family law issue, I will make one call to R. Shane McFarland. Hire him!

I hired McFarland Law to represent me in my divorce and the subsequent appeal. I found Mr McFarland provided sound counsel based on deep family law expertise, and also he and his staff went far beyond when the going got tough with a short deadline and a mountain of records to tease apart to reveal the truth. Also he was very effective in the courtroom. I am grateful for his guidance and representation, and for the excellent communication we had. I don't hesitate to recommend him most highly.

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.
