Jennifer Spyker recently and successfully represented me in an important case. Ms. Spyker was clearly knowledgeable with highly relevant experience in the law relevant to my case and she worked efficiently and professionally on my behalf. She presented options to me, with a very frank and honest discussion of the pros and cons of each to allow make the best choice possible. She kept me informed every step of the way, was responsive to all of my questions and always accessible to me. I never felt that she was too busy for me.
It was very clear that Ms. Spyker cares very deeply about making sure that her clients are protected. She is empathetic and provided support and guidance so that I never felt alone in my case. She consistently advocated very strongly but professionally for me. I was grateful to have her support and she will always be my first choice in legal matters. I am certain that her calm demeanor coupled with her professional and straightforward nature was essential to the positive outcome in my case and the speed at which it was reached.

Lauren fought for me and I am forever grateful for her. I call her my small but mighty because she will get the job done.

Mr. Warren is an excellent attorney to have in your corner from the beginning all the way until the end of settlements. I personally had a previous subpar attorney before retaining Mr. Warren. Thankfully I retained his services. Mr. Warren fought for me intensively to seek fairness in reference to child custody, child support, and overall divorce proceedings. Divorce can be a nasty situation without proper representation. It doesn’t have to be if you have someone representing you who will look with an objective lens. I would highly recommend Mr. Warren if you need someone to dig in and fight for you. He’s not some “foot on the desk relaxed guy” who will promise you the moon and stars, but when you show up in court with him you will have one of the best, if not the best, attorney beside you.

Jim Warren is a wonderful attorney. He is cautious of your money, and gives great advice. I was in an extremely contentious custody and changed from my attorney to Jim. Jim brought it to settlement quickly.
Jim is well known in the community and highly respected. His thirty-some year experience is evident.
I hightly recommend Jim to anyone needing a family attorney.

Attorney Jim Warren is an exceptional attorney in all respects. Attorney Warren is extremely skilled in the practice of family law and will fight for your rights and the rights of your children in family court more than any attorney I have ever observed. He won full physical and legal custody for me for my daughter in the permanent trial just as he did during the TPA or Temporary Parenting Arrangement hearing. Additionally, Attorney Warren has represented me since the initial custody case on other occasions and has always done a high quality job and has obtained the results that have been in the best interest of my child. I am more than happy to provide a reference for Attorney Warren for any prospective clients and speak with anyone directly. I highly recommend that you select Attorney Warren to represent you in family court. If you are interested in getting a detailed client reference from me, please contact Attorney Warren's office and request to contact me. Thank you. Emilie H.

From the start Ilonka was professional, knowledgeable and cared about me as a person. She immediately responds to my emails and is attentive to my concerns. There was a definite sense of caring, not just that I was a client, but someone that you genuinely cared about and wanted to help. I not only recommend Ilonka Aylward, but I guarantee once you have used her service you too will look no further.

First, I'm an attorney and practice commercial real estate. I had to appeal some of my rulings in my divorce case and was a fish out of water. I looked around at several attorneys and everyone wanted so much and the fact of who I was going against (law firm). Then, I stumbled across Dr. Aylward's blog on appellate issues. I knew right away that she knew her stuff. I would consult with her first before anyone else. She is an absolute expert in appellate practice.

I was assigned Lisa Johnson without having the opportunity to meet her and assess her competency. While my husband was causing the separation process to go longer than expected, it was Ms. Johnson's unprofessional delays and failure to communicate that caused me to sever my relationship with her and the firm. While I tried to reach her by email many times when my husband was shutting off all my utilities, there was only silence. It took two weeks with me finally calling the firm's head attorney before she was instructed to call me. A paralegal never even touched base and the head attorney had no access to my case to offer help. When finally she called, she said she was too busy in court to answer my emails or reach out to me. I continued to work with her and my last communication with her was to ask if we were ready to sign papers. Twenty-four days went by without a single word from Ms. Johnson. I was served with a lawsuit by my husband's attorney at the end of this time and after learning that the lead attorney couldn't access my details when Ms. Johnson was unavailable, I decided it was time to find an attorney who would do their job in a timely manner with a firm that shared access to cases in case my attorney was unavailable. I found out that the only reason the lawsuit was brought against me was because of the delay in hearing from my attorney, which opposing counsel and in particular my husband assumed was caused by me stalling and dragging my feet. I have to incur much greater fees to go to court because of her lack of professionalism and perhaps her inability to handle her case load, and that is after 4 1/2 months and $4700 of accomplishing nothing. I am starting virtually from square one with a new attorney who in one week has accomplished more. I cannot in any way recommend her for help with legal matters due to her lack of performance. I gave her a two star rating because I couldn't bring myself to give only one star, even though she wasn't proactive -which meant reacting to the other attorney at every turn- and my case never moved forward in any perceptable or meaningful direction.

Ms. Johnson did a great job with my divorce. Initially, I had hired a local lawyer in Concord who was disaster. Luckily, through a mutual acquaintance, I was put in contact with Ms Johnson. She did such a fantastic job, I consider my fortune to having her represent me in court. Again, phenomenal lawyer.

Attorney Johnson was an excellent advisor and counsel during my two year divorce and custody case. She helped me walk away with what I wanted and she was relentless in getting the things I needed. I have recommended her to several people because she is an excellent attorney.

I had a scheduled 2:30 telephone appointment on Thursday October 24th. I was advised the consultation fee would be $150 plus a $6.00 processing fee. At 3:10 I called the firm to see what was going on as no one contacted me and I was to add a family member to the meeting, in which I did. However I was advised by the attorney that I was scheduled to discuss my concerns with He DID NOT review any evidence/ emails regarding my concerns prior to the meeting. He also informed me that I should have been told to call the firm at 2:30 as they don’t call customers! In fact he did about a 7-8 minute quick review or scan through in which He appeared more bothered than helpful for this (30) minute session. I was told not to use PRONOUNS “He” or “She”when referring to the two siblings in this Heir property case. It appears charging a consultation fee for cases is definitely a quick way to make money without actually giving professional and most importantly detailed information on how or if you should proceed. My family member said his service wasn’t worth $25 or our time.
*** Please note Mrs. Crosby was who I had spoke with by telephone the day before, as She was attentive and just amazing ***

This person drug my EQ proceedings out for 5 years, deliberately attempting to pad her bank account. Now, my ex owes her a ton of money. She worked on contingency. He took the money and ran.

Janice Coulter is the epitome of professional. She has practiced law for many years and knows her stuff. Janice helped us with Grandparents rights - frankly every Grandparent needs to know what your options are and Janice is the one that knew how and what needed was needed. We couldn't be more pleased with what was acheived and Janice was a wonderful to work with. Don't ever under estimate what she is capable of.

Ms. Coulter stood by my side over five years and guided me as I dealt with my ex who had destroyed us financially and was a bully for 15 years. She helped me stand up for my own self that I hadn't been able to do for years. I agree that she gives so much of herself and focuses so much on each client that sometimes things do get missed. That is such a minor concern that if would never keep me from returning to her if need be. Just follow up yourself. If the end you will get justice. She told me upfront, "I want only the truth from you. I won't represent you if you lie about anything." She has been nothing but completely frank, loyal, clear, understated, and doesn't let you think things will go well if she doesn't think they will, shes a realist. She will be straight with you. The judges respect her and she knows so much about the law community that her insights will serve you well. Worth every dime!

Came here looking for an attorney but after researching, reading the reviews and Attorney Blain's responses I've decided to go elsewhere. Just except your bad reviews and move on instead of the drama. And I really don't like these firms who pretend they never represented a client who leaves an honest review.

I was so thankful that I had Ms. Julianna help me with my case. She seemed to really care about me and the problems that I was facing. My (now ex) husband and I were married for almost 30 years. I raised our 3 babies but never had much of a job outside of the home and am disabled now so I can't work. My ex refused to help me out with money. I had a really hard time with money and Ms. Julianna worked with me and gave me a payment plan and didn't make me pay a crazy amount of money up front. Ms. Julianna was my lawyer for a temporary alimony hearing before a judge and for a separation agreement for all of our assets. She did an amazing job at the temporary alimony hearing. She got my husband to pay me a monthly amount that I am really happy with and also got my husband to pay all of her attorney fees!

Julianna was the second attorney I had for my case and I could not have been more happy. My wife (now ex wife) moved in with her parents in SC and took our baby girl with her. The first attorney I met with told me I was SOL b/c my wife was a stay at home mom and moved in with her family. When I met with Julianna she said we should immediately file for custody and fight for my daughter to return to NC. She was professional, kind and very responsive to my (probably annoying) emails and phone calls We had a custody trial and everything. Julianna thoroughly prepped myself and my witnesses. We felt very prepared for the trial. She asked us great questions and asked the baby's mother even better questions - she definitely "put her on spot" several times. You could tell the judge and the other attorney respected her. In the end, the judge ordered that my baby girl return to NC and gave me full custody of our daughter (unless my wife returned to NC - then it was 50/50 custody). I could not have been more happy with Julianna as an attorney and have recommended several of my friends go to her for their divorce.

Julianna is extremely nice, easy to work with. She was a breeze to communicate with (very accessible, returns calls and emails, etc) I struggled with the category ratings because she is trustworthy, responsive, etc- but I think it depends on what you hire her for. She was my attorney in a high-conflict custody case, and it became apparent, rather quickly, that she was not comfortable in a court room. It may have been lack of experience, maybe it was nerves having to face a very experienced & tough opposing attorney- but she struggled with questioning when I was on the stand. The judge did not allow me to answer most of her questions because of their phrasing. Documents that I needed as evidence were not submitted to the court through the proper channels and were deemed inadmissable. She lacked the "quick thinking" on her feet, and overall confidence needed in that setting. She does understnd the law, and she does care about her clients. But if you find yourself going to court, I may consider you find an experienced trial attorney with a proven record.

I’m just getting around to this a year later, first thing this lady has a snappy attitude, she showed up to the custody hearing with no cross-examination questions, I looked over at her she started making up a few questions on the spot right before her time to cross exam, I said to myself what in the hell. Prior to the child custody trial, I emailed her questions she could potentially ask because I knew the opposing party’s situation and they were not truthful. Throughout the entire trial she probably objected the opposing council a hand full of times. When I would look at her face, it was like a dear in the headlights, she was stuck. it was like she was afraid of the opposing council. We took a bathroom break during the custody hearing and my character witness came over to me and said you need to fire this lady, I told him, I had already paid her. During this entire experience, this attorney was extremely apathetic, she did the bare minimum, she did not put any effort into this case; really quick phone calls, did not put any time and research in the case. My child’s mom even asked me where did I get that lawyer from? This lawyer has absolutely no business in the legal field.

Mrs. Jones represented me in a CS case and she delivered what she promised.
I remembered when I first interviewed her, I knew she would do a good job. However, she didn’t do a good job, she did an excellent job representing me.
She responded all my emails in a timely manner, her assistant was always there with reminders and more.
I worked with another lawyer before her and I learned how hard is to find a good family lawyer. Particularly those on the side of the father and I strongly recommend Jana Jones. You will not regret hiring her, she is very knowledgeable and she will have your best interest in mind when going to court. She know her way around the court and knows exactly how to address toughest judges.
Bottom line…. She is really good
One more thing and most important… when it comes to legal services… she is fair when it comes to her fees. You will not have any billing surprises, if you used legal services before you would know what I am talking about it. She is there to do the job, not to get your money.

Mr. Hitchens represented me in a YFS court subdivision. He is by far one of the best attorneys that I have ever had represent me. He always looked out for my interests and when I had an issue, he was quick to handle it. He even helped me handle a criminal court issue when he wasn't even hired to represent me. I would recommend him to anybody in need of excellent legal representation. Thank you Mr. Hitchens.

I have worked with Hunt for over 5 years now through some of the most complicating custody and divorce issues. He has resolved issues and got the outcome I have wanted, and some. Hunt has always been up front with me on what to expect and I have never had any surprises walking into the courtroom. Not only that Hunt has always made me feel confident and is on point with case law. I would highly recommend both Hunt and his wife, Rebecca for your custody and divorce issues.

This attorney was recommended by a friend in my divorce and found him to be arrogant, unprofessional, and lazy. He was paid in a lump sum 10k and I did not realize attorneys do not do that in civil cases until I had to find another attorney who advised that it was unprofessional on his part. Once Hamm got his lump sum, he was difficult to contact and more unprofessional in dealing with. He tried to charge me for my file which according to another attorney was illegal. Hamm wanted to do the bear minimum in my case and when he did not get what he wanted immediately wanted to withdraw as counsel as he got his money....horrible experience n wouldn't recommend to my now ex-wife.

He is honest and will take an impossible situation and make it work on your behalf. I cannot say how much makes me feel at ease when I should be up in arms. If you want the best use Ed!

We thought Kronk would support us especially with custody matters of a child with severe mental issues. We have gone crisis to crisis but zero response or support let alone honoring scheduled appointments. We only met in person once, and all meetings we scheduled later he never showed up. Forget about getting a reply to your email, I truly believe it gets sent to spam in his inbox. His own receptionists don’t have a clue where he is half the time. If a judge appoints him to you, don’t waste your time, request a new lawyer IMMEDIATELY. I don’t know why he does this when all his clients are obviously in need or in crisis. This man has no standard of ethics.

Worked with Richard Kronk for an extended amount of time in which he was a Parent Coordinator and mediated custody issues. When he first got involved in our case he was reasonable, timely, and his decisions made since a majority of the time. This changed in 2021, he became non-responsive, ignored the obvious, stuck with decisions that had proven over and over to not be effective. When issues reached a new level of severity, he actually contributed to them getting much worse rather than achieving any reasonable results. I asked him several times to remove himself from the case, which he refused. I had to file a motion with the court and he was removed by a judge. In my opinion this man should have no part in practicing family law in any capacity. If you have a family law matter go elsewhere.

Non responsive and wildly expensive. He confused my case with another while in court and the judge had to correct him. Needless to say, the outcome was not at all what I had hoped. Through this process, I would reach out to Kronk numerous times and had severe delays in response if any at all. I though, ‘he’s a partner at this firm, I’m sure he’s got this in the bag. Maybe he doesn’t need to resplnd.’ Boy, how wrong I was!

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.
