In short... Excellent.
Mr Richard Johnson and his colleagues have been the most on-hands and not only personable but at same time professionally proficient and super detailed in their craft.
After my injury and subsequent surgeries I've learned more about my own condition and medical systems from Mr Johnson than any medical provider. I truly don't know how I would have gotten through the past years without his help and humility and wisdom.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible legal representation I received from my Attorney Andrew Domin regarding my worker's compensation case. When I first reached out to him , I was lost tired and scared by the complexities of the system at my job , but Attorney Andrew immediately put me at ease with their clear explanations and unwavering commitment to advocating for my rights. Throughout the entire process, they demonstrated an unmatched level of expertise in workers' comp law, meticulously reviewing every detail of my case and ensuring all necessary medical documentation was properly submitted. Andrew & his assistant Lulu dedication to my case was exceptional, always keeping me informed of every development and promptly responding to any questions or concerns I had. Thanks to my Attorney Andrew's aggressive negotiation tactics, I was able to secure a settlement far exceeding what I initially thought possible, allowing me to focus on my recovery without the added stress of financial worry. As I brag about Domin law firm his assistant Lulu was also so helpful and knowledgeable with the questions a I had. And also gave me the right answer researching until she got the correct answer. I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Andrew Domin ( Minkow Domin Trail Attorneys Firm ) to anyone facing a worker's compensation claim or any case for that matter ; their professionalism, compassion, and genuine desire to achieve the best outcome for their clients are truly unparalleled. Andrew P. Domin , Lulu . Ms. Dionne you guy's are the best . If your looking for EXCEPTIONAL CARING ONE ON ONE REPRESENATION CALL ANDREW DOMIN .

I would like to Thank Klain and Associates for fighting for me to get my disability. I applied in Dec. 2021 and I was just approved 10/2025. They kept in close contact with me and I was never in the dark on my case.
I was in so much pain all the time, and they took the Hassel out of applying. Thank you, again everyone. I appreciate you all.

Anderson, Boback, & Marshall were great. Jessica Sindel and Jessica Marshall had the patience of saints when dealing with me through such a tough process. It felt like we shared a common goal and reached the expectation that I had in spite of the other side making some very wild claims... I was able to overcome all of that with their help and at no point did I feel like they were billing me unnecessarily nor refusing to take steps to make meaningful progress like other firms I had to deal with.

I can’t express how grateful I am to Keating Law. After I was car-doored by a delivery truck while riding my bike on Milwaukee, the Keating team made sure I got what I needed to be able to pay my medical bills. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine kindness built my confidence in them from the start. As a teacher, my schedule is pretty strict and structured around the school year. Keating worked around my schedule to ensure I could be as involved as possible. I cannot recommend them enough!!

I retained Ms. Fetman for my divorce. It's difficult to know where to turn when you're faced with a divorce. Few of us have any prior experience with the legal ins and outs. I chose her due to her strong track record. Talk about a force of nature! She was extremely professional. She was honest and told me things I did not want to hear. I feel a good attorney gives clients bad news. In divorce cases there is always a good deal of bad news to be given. Ms. Fetman and I got along very well. She was always courteous and throughout my case I was able to trust her. She was realistic, stayed focus on the goal, explained the divorce process, met procedural timelines, always prepared and we had consistent communication. The most important step for me was finding a good divorce attorney that I trusted and liked. I am happy to say I found a competent attorney, she made my life and divorce easier and my case was concluded quicker and and I felt very happy!

Professional, Experienced, Empathetic and Passionate about successfully resolving the client's case.
I was a client of Corri Fetman. Corri is one of the most knowledgeable and professional attorneys whom I have had the pleasure working with. What I admire about Ms. Fetman is the passion for her profession. She is precise in her strategies and treats every case with equal importance. She communicates with the client at every milestone of the case and will go to the extent of providing guidance in a counseling kind of way, with a friendly ear that you can vent to. She understands that resolving a marriage has a significant impact on the lives of the client and his or her family and is able to be empathetic while providing a logical backbone to the case. Corri will never make false promises and will allow the client to make an educated decision which is based on ethics and law.
In addition, this professionalism extends to Corri’s Paralegal Team. Communication with Mallory is a simple and streamline process in an organized manner. Mallory understands that this is a hard time in the client’s life and communicates with friendliness, understanding and empathy, without the loss of patience from multiple reminders. Documentation is always sent on time with plenty of lead time to the deadline and equally, she is always willing to listen.
The one thing that a client must understand is that this will be an emotional time in their life. This is a time when sound judgement does not always exist. For this reason, surround yourself with friends and family who can provide support. From the legal side, an experienced attorney will make sure that your future is not jeopardized. While the exact outcome of the case cannot always be determined one thing is certain, you can rest assured that Corri will take proper action in order to resolve the case with minimal costs and the least amount of time needed for the case resolution. Most of all, she will be your anchor while proceeding through the case and will not let you sink.

Morgan and her team handled my divorce case. Everyone was professional, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. Thru every step of the way they fully explained my options and even suggested steps that they felt would be successful and contain my legal fees. Their communication thru the process was excellent and responded same day with any questions or concerns. Sure, I paid slightly more in legal fees, but the bottom-line is the final result which far exceeded my expectations. Morgan gets 5 stars and a high recommendation from me!

I hired Morgan about 6 months into my pending divorce. Morgan and her team made the transition from my prior attorney smooth and painless. I was never left in dark about what to expect during my proceedings. She is very straight forward and honest. She and her team were quick to respond to any and all of my questions or concerns. I would highly recommend Morgan and her firm as they are extremely professional and honest. You will not be disappointed with her services.

Jack Cannon and his team are amazing. They are very genuine and you can feel that they care about your wellbeing. Every step of the way, Jack Cannon made me feel very comfortable and educated. I was lucky to have Jack and Sarah advocate for me in a court room and was amazed at how well they work. They’re very educated, confident, and kind people. They exceeded my expectation and I was very happy with the outcome. You definitely want to have Jack Cannon in your corner when you’re dealing with a personal injury.

Jack, Sarah and the team at Cannon Law have been nothing short of spectacular every step of the way in the handling of my work comp case. I could be a difficult client at times especially when things got challenging but Jack and Sarah were so patient and informative with me. I had a case with every hurdle imaginable, due to the complexities of work comp law, but Jack and his team fought hard for me to ensure I was taken care of and protected. Jack’s willingness to fight back has been a saving grace for me and my situation. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Cannon Law. Please consider Jack Cannon to handle your injury claim, you won’t regret having him on your side.

Ben is a lawyer who takes an extra step to truly show you he cares when going through such a difficult time in court fighting for the rights to see your child. I cannot say enough good about hiring him as our lawyer, he was responsive, honest and caring about my legal situation.

I have proudly had Marcy and her team represent me for all family law matters for well over the past 16 years. Marcy is professional, aggressive in the court room, and aggressive but realistic outside of. Any judge they stood before seemingly had a strong desire to work with Marcy and her associates. Family law and issues get very emotional, Marcy cuts thru with a no nonsense approach to deliver realistic and fair results. I am a super prod Dad and proud of Marcy for her work and as a person. My highest recommendation always.

I was referred to Jay Frank by a dear high school girlfriend who had been through an excruciating, complex, divorce involving a spouse who was hiding his money from his businesses to evade paying my friend what was owed to her. Jay Frank was one of the last attorneys hired by my friend, and in the final hour, he actually was able to turn the tables for his client, my friend, and ended up getting my friend money that she never expected to get in her final settlement.
My divorce was much less complex but nonetheless excruciating for me, as this was a divorce that I did not want nor foresee at the age of 61, facing two total hip arthroplasty surgeries, and the last chapter of my life, alone. My ex-spouse also left behind his two stepsons, and although they were young men in their twenties, they felt abandoned, disappointed and angry. This was the second divorce they had been through, the first divorce from their father when they were only ages three and six. Their father had been abusive with me so with a subsequent Order of Protection against him, and counseling that was not effective for our marriage, I felt compelled to be the one to file for divorce for the sake of my mental health and that of my sons.
Jay Frank was the second attorney I hired as the first attorney seemingly went through my retainer fee of $5K in a few months with very little legal work executed. When Jay consulted with me for the first time, he did not charge me, and actually took the time to help me sift through the final bill of my first attorney to help me discern which charges were unnecessary. Despite the fact that my divorce was, more or less, a straightforward divorce with no complex business issues or custody issues, this divorce took about four years to be finalized. One of the reasons for this delay is that I did not want to deal with this divorce while having my two aforementioned surgeries and throughout the process of the selling of our marital house. Another reason was the global pandemic. The world was suspended with fear, anxiety and uncertainty, and my ex-spouse and I, like most of the world, were caught up in this energy. The third reason for the delay was procrastination, mainly on my part. I did not want to let go. Jay Frank and his colleague, Staci Balbirer, showed immense empathy and unending patience with this delay. And last but not least, Jay Frank was able to steer me in the direction to peacefully settle my case with a final agreement very much in my favor.
Thank you Jay Frank for all that you have done for me. Greatly appreciated!

I was involved in a very bad car accident where a guy ran a red light and nearly killed me and had put me in the hospital for nearly a month.Once I was able to speak again my first call was to Christine,She expressed her concern and thoughts for my well being.This isn’t my first time I’ve reached out to Christine ..which made the process easier . Christine had settled my case with one of the largest settlements awarded for an accident of this magnitude…..If you’re contemplating on an Attorney,Please have no second thoughts.She is the Lion and the lamb , you wouldn’t want to be on the other side of the court going up against her .She is direct, kind, diligent and in the end she does her due diligence with a VERY FAVORABLE outcome. Christine has represented Many members of my family and friends for nearly 25 years ALL of which have thanked me for recommending her.Thank you Christine for everything you’ve done for me my family and friends.

My experience with Hurley McKenna and Mertz was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I first contacted them, it was clear that I was in good hands. The team, led by Michael T. Mertz, took the time to understand every aspect of my case, no matter how complex it was. They were patient, thorough, and made sure I fully understood the legal process at every stage. It was obvious that they genuinely cared about my situation and were committed to doing their best for me.
One thing that stood out to me was the level of professionalism and integrity they displayed throughout my case. In an industry where it can sometimes be hard to trust who is truly on your side, I never once doubted their dedication to me as a client. They worked tirelessly to ensure that every detail was carefully examined and that no stone was left unturned. Even when challenges arose, they were there to guide me and reassure me that they were doing everything possible to address the situation.
Michael T. Mertz, in particular, was outstanding. His legal expertise and knowledge were evident from the start, but what really impressed me was his compassion. He treated me like more than just a case number, and his personal attention made me feel confident and supported. He listened to my concerns, answered all my questions, and kept me informed of any updates. In moments where I felt overwhelmed, he took the time to explain everything clearly and help me see the bigger picture. His calm, caring demeanor made a huge difference during a stressful time.
While I have seen a few reviews of this firm that mentioned the length of time their cases took, I have to disagree with those criticisms. Legal matters, especially complex cases, take time to handle properly. Rushing through important details could mean missing out on key factors that could affect the outcome. I appreciated that Hurley McKenna and Mertz took their time to ensure that my case was handled with care, and it was clear that they were committed to achieving the best possible result rather than rushing to wrap things up quickly.
In the end, I felt not only that I had chosen the right legal team, but that I was treated with respect, compassion, and fairness. I would highly recommend Hurley McKenna and Mertz to anyone who is dealing with a complicated legal situation. If you want lawyers who are thorough, honest, and genuinely care about their clients, this is the firm you should turn to. They exceeded my expectations and went above and beyond to make sure I had the support I needed throughout the entire process. I couldn’t have asked for better representation, and I am incredibly grateful for their hard work and dedication.

My case was mentally and emotionally draining. I watched a system that is not designed for fathers control the life of my son. I was even more devastated in the way his biological mother handled raising/caring for our son and my place in his life. I had never been any way but respectful and supportive of her since the day our son was born.
We went through a Child Rep who took almost (7) seven years to do what he knew he should have done from day 1, while my son suffered mentally and emotionally silently for years. That alone could have destroyed my child. We then went to a Guardian Ad Litem, through Mediation, a Child Therapist, back to Mediation, an Arbitrator, a Judge Mediator and then back to the case judge.
7 Years later, my son is home with me and my wife (who has been an awesome mother figure to him since he was 2 years old and whom he loves dearly). and he is doing very well. This case unfortunately cost him his relationship with his biological mother and has destroyed his faith in the legal system and those that are trained and paid very well to protect the child. I must add that I am working with him through the issues surrounding his mother because no matter how horrible she was to him and to me, nor how she used the legal system to hurt us all for years, it is still important to me for him to have a loving relationship with his biological mother.
I give all of the Glory to God and the team of lawyers he blessed me with. Gloria Block and her Assistant Russell Reid have been true life savers for me, my family and especially our son. Attorney Block helped bring clear direction and purpose to our case. She immediately halted all negative personal/legal action by my son's mother and her Attorney that clearly were directed at prolonging the case while bringing more chaos and negativity into play, which ultimately only harmed our son. She personally held everyone accountable from the first day that she agreed to represent us (4) four years into this case. We had our ups and downs through the legal system, but she kept fighting for my son's well being and ultimately directed the fight that gave my son the peace that every child deserves.
I now have legal residential custody of my son and I oversee all day to day activities and care. He is now at peace, truly thriving and doing very very well.
To not bring direct light to my son and what he has endured, I have to settle on giving a big public "shout out" via the internet to Gloria Block and Russell Reid for being more than our attorneys, but for being a part of our extended family and caring enough to dedicate your legal knowledge for the well being and care of a child who did not deserve what he had endured, but one who now has the direction he needs in life to thrive, uncontrolled and uninhibited while being surrounded in true love, a family that is dedicated to him and being totally blessed with complete support.

Ms. Block (and Beth and Russell) are the best out there. I had been represented by two other legal firms before I found her. She kept me informed, listened to my wants and needs. If her advice differed from what I had thought the best course for me and my children, she took the time explain to me the reasons why and what the best actions were. My previous representation was always willing to wait and see what was going to happen whereas Ms. Block let me be heard. And in doing this got the best outcome for me and my children. She never talked down to me or made me feel as anything but an equal during the process. I would recommend her to anyone who needs good solid legal representation.

I wanted to take a minute and give two big "thumbs up" to Gloria Block and Alan Hoffenberg of Hoffenberg and Block.
I don't normally leave online reviews, but in this case, it's well deserved. Gloria and Alan worked tirelessly to help me during a very difficult time in my life and without them I am not sure where I would be right now.
Thank You!

Worked with Brian Thompto as an attorney to file my Green card and he was so unreponsive, careless, rude and never ever replied back to my emails neither calls. Wasted my 15 months for PWD and PERm and end result is it got denied because of his mistake to not including my skills in ETA-9089 besides providing him all the details. Even after it got denied, he seems like nothing happened and jeopardizing my future and now i am left with no option else than leaving US as my time is getting closer. I would definitely not recommend him and I still can't believe that i am not the first person to give this type of review but still he is serving in this organization. Seems like all Attorneys here are like same where no one care about their clients. If you wish to waste your time and money, please hire from here.

If I could give attorney Zhao a below one, it would most definitely be a 0. She has poor manners and didn't think my spouse case was work, who responds to a client stating "I have been very busy with work" like my spouse case wasn't work. Then gets upset and removed herself from the case after filling into the case because you don't like corrective criticism, how unethical. When she calls her clients she is very disgruntled and pushy, can't be so sure if its a personality conflict or a color/race conflict, but whatever it is. I would not recommend her for any case learn how to treat your clients. You won't make it very far being rude, people are no longer standing for bad behaviors.

I had a legal issue with the business that I manage and Paul King of King & Jones was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the initial phone consultation, Paul was very helpful explaining all my options and the process going forward. While working with them, they were in constant contact all the steps during the way. The final outcome was favorable and I owe it to their expertise in legal business law. Thank you!

Warning…do not retain Caidi Vanderporten or her father, Evan Mammas. During your consultation they will present as kind, caring, and ready to fight hard at trial. However, they will do everything to avoid trial. I paid Caidi bout $200 for her free consultation as token of my gratitude, appreciation, and respect for her time. However, after retaining her and her father, and paying them thousands to argue at trial, Caidi did the unimaginable within ~3 weeks. FIRSTLY, against my repeated objection, Caidi converted the trial from in-person to Zoom. SECONDLY, at the beginning of the hearing, she requested a PRIVATE breakout room for her to talk with the judge, opposing counsel, and child representative (all women). The trial NEVER occurred because she lied to the judge that I wanted to cancel the hearing in exchange for an agreement to see my infant son (and only child) TWICE PER MONTH for 45 minutes each “visit.” I brought the matter to her father’s attention, and he explained that he saw nothing wrong. I even had the transcripts of our conversation for evidence. THIRDLY, she filed an Order of Protection against me in an attempt to prevent me from publicly exposing her. LASTLY, she had the nerve to bill me an additional ~$5,000 after I complained about what she had done to me and my infant son. I hired them to argue, at the IN-PERSON EVIDENTIARY TRIAL, for me and my son’s entitled rights to a sufficient amount of WEEKLY parenting time. They took advantage of me while I was a desperate father and full-time graduate student that could not even make ends meet. I’ve had to use $7000 of my student loans to hire a new attorney to undo the mess they created. I’m heartbroken and hope no one else becomes a victim of her firm.

After losing my entire life savings on greedy lawyers, I found Evan Mammas. Mr. Mammas is superior to Schiller Ducanto & Fleck, and the rest.
Mr. Mammas knows what he's doing. HE IS A GOD SEND. Trust me been there done that with lawyers.
Mammas was the ONLY atty who was able to handle my ex husband criminal court atty. No one could handle my ex except Mr. Mammas. Do not waste your time shopping for attorneys. MAMMAS IS the best in the Chicago area. I lost everything with other lawyers. Mammas was able to get results without spending another 8 months in post decree. He knows what he is doing. I would never use anyone else again. He is skilled, experienced, articulate, strong, intelligent. He would be able to handle a divorce matter blind folded.

Mr. Mammas is a family law atty. that I would recommend.
Here is why:
1. Prepares, does his homework.
2. Cool, calm, collected in the face of the opponents contention and judge questioning.
3. Skilled and knowledgeable
4. Highly intelligent.
The small off items to be prepared for:
1- Not easy to reach (but what lawyer is)?

I was involved in a lengthy divorce which ended up with me no longer able to trust my own lawyer. Data that I had asked for repeatedly never turned up, my lawyer knew the opposing counsel personally, and talked about it often, and even knew the new woman my husband was seeing. Too close a circle. I asked my friend who was high up in HR in a large downtown corporation for help as I didn't trust the numbers, and she sent me to an eminent accounting firm for an opinion in determining whether or not I should hire a separate outside forensic accountant for my divorce case, as again I no longer trusted that my own lawyer was truly acting in my own best interest. Well, this firm advised me instead to first consider a young attorney just setting up his practice (this was about 7-8 years ago), who had worked for an aggressive firm and succeeded against some well known and tough lawyers. He was described as "having one of the best legal minds around, hands down." And so, my association with Andy began. He was easy to talk to and empathetic, but professional at all times. He was a wealth of knowledge, and knew the law exactly. He understood the broader picture, yet also knew how to focus in on what was most important for the long term. And the case was successful in my favor. Without his expertise, I felt that major points were being missed. Best of all, he was extraordinarily fair in his pricing (I had gotten used to grossly overpaying for poor services), and was so very very patient when it took me awhile to fully repay him. I feel he knows what he is doing, and has an honest heart - very, very hard to find in divorce attorneys.

From the minute Andrew and I spoke about my pending divorce I knew I found the right lawyer to help me through a difficult time. His knowledge and experience was helpful in a complicated case. He advised with legal knowledge but also compassion. I knew that with him fighting for what was right we would get the settlement that was fair. And we did. I credit him with getting me through an incredibly difficult time with extensive knowledge, experience, compassion and follow through. I would recommend him highly to anyone.

I retained Andy to represent me in Feb of 2016. At my initial meeting with Andy I felt comfortable that what he told me was the right direction of the dissolution and trusted in his support. I expressed first and foremost importance was the wellbeing of my son, after we were displaced by my ex. There was initially temporary relief after his first motion for support. However after that, the case lulled along, motion after motion were filed after numerous orders were not followed by my ex husband and his high profile attorney dictated the tone of the finality of the case. My ex husband continually stalled the case by not producing what he was told to produce order after order, even after numerous follow up emails and requests I had made. I was denied access to get back into the marital residence for my personal belongings since we were displaced almost 3 years ago. I was shut out my 410k without access to trade within despite numerous emails to my attorneys and the United States Department of Employment Security. Every single marital asset was in my ex's control, except the car I left with. Again, yes there were points of minimal relief, however my credit suffered tremendously.
I was rationed back a small portion of martial money to pay my and my sons medical bills, two months before the divorce was final. I followed every order, every request for information, all discovery requests, my deposition, as well as court dates and meetings with the GAL. It took over 2 years to get a parenting plan in place, after meditation , failure to come to the minimal consensus with the other party.
There was never an urgency for the wellbeing of my son, after this was expressed to exhaustion, it lulled . It was always the wait and see approach, I expressed my concerns about the final settlement and parenting plan, in my opinion they were taken lightly , It was the "best I was going to do” and "that's a reasonable amount of time for them to propose given the circumstances of your case”. After expressing my concerns regarding the final settlement, I was left playing go fetch with my settlement and discovering now the aftermath of not only the the tax ramifications, but they also took my ex husbands word regarding utilities, taxes, leases and association fees being “up to date” when some were months and years delinquent. There were many instances I felt I was not in control of the outcome after serious expression to both my attorneys. In my opinion, your lawyer should have an overall direct plan for your case not a wait and see approach. If there is any component of mental and financial abuse in your relationship with your ex, they should also be verse in representing that type of client. Not allowing an opposing council to speak to their client in a derogatory way as they wait for the prove up. I understand there is a non emotional component of the representation, but there should be a highly regarded component of fiduciary responsibility that should be addressed not disregarded after expressing that on multiple occasions. My ex husband was able dissipate marital funds through the entire divorce, make unilateral decisions regarding our marital properties- and he was also able to pay his attorney fees out of the marital assets. I never questioned their professional opinions or billable hours , the future of the dissolution was entrusted in their hands. However toward the end I asked Andy and his team to review the invoices where I was charged over 14k a month for numerous months. I saw a more intensity of attention to my case when the final bill was in question than when I was in need of emergency funds to pay my rent in the middle of the divorce.

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.
