Dennis has handled quite a few of my cases over the last 25 years. He is so easy to work with. Even when my ex husband hired him for our divorce, he still was very friendly and cordial to me even though I was on the opposite end. Love him!

Bill is an excellent attorney who helped me through a high-conflict divorce with his strategic and calm approach. He is very patient and thinks before he reacts. He never leaves you guessing and openly shares information he receives from the other attorney's involved. One thing that I really liked about Bill is that throughout my entire case I always understood what the worst case scenario could be. He never once mislead me to believe we would win the case or any given dispute would be in my favor. I valued his transparency. He knows what he is doing when it comes to family law. I would certainly recommend him to any of my friends or family that are going through a difficult divorce.

Megan was outstanding during my custody dispute and subsequent child support modification in 2023. Not only did she support me from a legal standpoint and give me transparent advice of all options in helping me gain full physical custody of my teenage daughter, but she was empathetic and supportive on an emotional level as well. I’d happily and confidently hire Megan again should I need additional post-divorce legal advice or representation.

I hired Megan in 2023 to assist with my divorce. She was helpful when I had questions and was supportive when I was spinning out of control. Going through a divorce is stressful, frustrating, and mentally exhausting. Megan was there to support me evey step of the way. She is passionate about her clients and wants the best for them. You won't only have the support of Megan but you'll also have the support of her Paralegal Christian who is just as wonderful as Megan. I appreciate all the hard work and support throughout the years!!!

If you don't go with this law group then you are mission out! Not only did they handle my case with grace, but they even went the extra mile when I had an emergency! I have a medically fragile and disabled child that is very hard to take out of the home. The day before my court appearance, all of my child care canceled for the day of court. I needed to file a motion in order to appear virtually instead but being the day before, and with my lack of court understandings, I was lost. I called this office since they were the ones who filed my paperwork with the court to ask for assistance. Of course the lawyer I used was out of office so I left a message. Within 10 minutes I received a call back from another attorney from this office and after I explained my situation, they said that they would have no problem filling out the motion for me and emailing to me! Not only that but they did this from their cell phone! All I asked for was advice, but this office was so understanding and the fact that they went the extra mile to help me was such a relief and an act of kindness and humanity that you don't normally see from people nowadays. From now on I will always use this firm for all of my needs!

I am a senior citizen, age 77 who for the past year has felt underserved, disrespected and led by too busy lawyers into a very difficult for me outcome of a simple guardianship petition to protect my husband with dementia.

My husband hired Michael for a very complex child custody case with his ex wife. We worked with Michael for 3 years because of the complexity of the case, and continued unnecessary filings on the the ex wife's side. Him and his paralegal, Benjamin, held our hands the entire way through the process. They were very attentive and responsive when we had questions. They were very knowledgable about case law, and how we could get the best outcome. In the end, my husband won the case and got pretty much everything he requested because Michael put together a solid case that could not be refuted. We hope that we never need a family attorney again, but if we do, we will absolutely return to Michael and his team!

I never imagined feeling this good leaving the courtroom this morning. Nicholas Geman turned a potential DUI into a reckless driving charge with minimal restrictions (6 month unsupervised probation, classes & community service). I don't know how he did it, but I am extremely grateful. Hopefully I will never need a lawyer, but if I do I'm contacting Geman Law.

Working with the team at Geman Law was so helpful and easy. I worked directly with Nicolas and Sarah, and from start to finish the communication was fantastic. I always have a lot of questions about everything and they’re happy to talk through every single one of them, keeping my mind at ease about the whole situation and throughout the process.
They also don’t just settle at the first sign of an offer, they want to be sure you get what the case should be worth. Not only did they do that for me, but they beat my expectations by a long shot. I’m extremely happy with them and the results, I highly recommend them to anyone else.

Needing a lawyer is something no one ever hopes for, but when the situation arises, having someone like Brian Teed by your side makes all the difference. I recently required legal representation for my daughter, and I couldn’t have asked for a more dedicated, compassionate, and skilled advocate. From the very beginning, it was clear that Brian had my daughter’s best interests at heart. He genuinely cared about her well-being and the outcome of the proceedings.
Brian’s extensive knowledge of the law and legal process gave me invaluable peace of mind. He always took the time to explain every step in clear, straightforward terms, ensuring we understood what to expect and felt prepared at every turn. His communication and attention to detail were exceptional, making an otherwise overwhelming situation much more manageable.
I also need to acknowledge Allison Jankowski, who was instrumental throughout this process. Her meticulous attention to detail ensured that we never missed any filings or deadlines, which was critical to our success. Allison’s support and efficiency behind the scenes played a key role in helping us cross the finish line. We couldn’t have achieved the outcome we did without her assistance and dedication.
Thanks to Brian’s and Allison’s unwavering support, we achieved a successful outcome in our case. My family and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had such an outstanding team in our corner during this challenging time. While I hope I never need a lawyer again, if I do, I know exactly who I’ll call.

Both James and Samantha were easy to talk to and put me at ease while working on updating my Trust documents. I highly recommend James McQuade for his legal expertise and Burnham Law firm for any estate planning.

Hiring Randy was a complete waste of time, like flushing money down the drain. It was a simple case about my government 401k and retirement. After 8 months of 1 hearing and continuous status hearings I fired randy and hired another attorney. During my 1 hour consultation the new attorney did more in 1 hour then Randy did in 8 months. The next status meeting an agreement was reached and settled. Randy had even forgotten that during the first hearing the judge rewarded me with 8 months of back pay maintenance only because the opposing attorney had asked me a question. It had nothing to do with randy. On my last hearing with Randy he was yelling and belligerent with the judge. The judge scolded him and at that point I figured I was losing my case. on that hearing I had given Randy a check for 1,000.00 dollars two weeks later he was calling me asking me for the 1,000.00 dollar check. I told him I gave it to him, my wife checked our back account and he had cashed the check. I fired him shortly after that. After my new attorney notified him that he had been fired. He sent me a bill for another 1,600.00. That would have put me at or near10,000.00 for a simple court case. Please do not trust your money with him. He just care about himself.

Randy Onge is very rude, condescending and verbally abusive. I will not recommend working with him at all. He threatened I would go to jail because I wouldn't let him do what he wanted with my divorce case. He worked for the opposing counsel by not submitting my documents on time and tried to make me responsible for their attorney fees. Will be discussing with women advocate group and the Colorado Bar association because he needs to be stopped.

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.
