Becky Clark was recently my lawyer during a very trying time and helped me navigate in a timely, efficient, and with the best possible outcome I was hoping for. Her compassion and empathy for my situation allowed me to feel comfortable and confident each step was being treated with the highest level of integrity and the grit needed to finalize my parenting plan. I highly recommend her and know you will be in good hands!

I had a very intricate legal situation, and Clyde Zamir from Family Law Group provided outstanding support. His explanations were clear, he kept his promises, and went above and beyond by working after hours one several occasions! Clyde ensured I understood every detail, offering trustworthy guidance throughout the process by making calls, sending emails, and offering overall guidance/support. Kudos to April and Kenah for their prompt responses to my emails and phone calls no matter what the issue was, making me feel like Family Law Group was more than just a name—they treated me like family. Highly recommended!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Jason, his assistant Lonie, and Inaki from the call center. From start to finish, they made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Jason is an outstanding lawyer. His expertise, professionalism, and dedication are truly unmatched. He took the time to explain every step of the process, ensuring I fully understood my options and felt confident in the decisions we made together. His ability to handle my case with such precision and care was incredibly reassuring. Lonie, Jason’s assistant, was equally amazing. She was always available to answer my questions and kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Her organizational skills and friendly demeanor made working with her a pleasure. Inaki, the call center representative, deserves a special mention for being so helpful and courteous. He ensured my initial queries were addressed promptly and directed me to the right resources, setting the tone for an excellent client experience. This team goes above and beyond to provide top-notch service. If you’re looking for a lawyer who genuinely cares about your case and has a supportive team to back them up, Jason, Lonie, and Inaki are the ones to trust. I couldn’t have asked for a better legal experience. Highly recommended! Talal H

I have been a client of Brighter Day Law for over 3 years now. I am extremely happy with the team I was assigned. Sydney Bierwirth has helped me with all the trials and tribulations that comes with a divorce and the constant fight for custody. I cannot thank her enough for the outstanding support and guidance she has provided during such a challenging time in my life. Navigating divorce and custody battles is never easy, but her expertise, compassion, and professionalism made all the difference. From the very beginning when she took over my case, she took the time to truly understand my situation, ensuring I felt heard and supported. Her knowledge of family law is exceptional, and she was always prepared, detail-oriented, and strategic in her approach. What stood out most was her ability to balance assertiveness with empathy. She fought for the best outcome for me and my children while being incredibly compassionate and patient throughout the process. Due to my team's hard work and dedication to their craft, I was able to achieve a resolution that felt fair and just. I'm truly grateful for everything they've done for my family and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of a family attorney. The battle is never over, but I am confident moving forward with Brighter Day Law at my side.

Greg was very understanding of my situation and saw the case through to the end. I was very pleased with the ruling. He later also represented me in a court hearing for contempt and one for modification of child support and maintenance and I was also pleased with the outcome. His rates are very fair and he is very trustworthy as an attorney. I highly recommend Mr Ortiz and feel like the work he did for my case was the deciding factor in getting a fair ruling from the court.

I was in a very difficult divorce where I had just lost jurisdiction. Thus, the case was going to be handled in Colorado, rather than Virginia, where I live. My attorney in Virginia was incredibly bad, and I wasted a lot of money on that short case alone (I shouldn't have lost). I was referred to Greg by a colleague of my father's from another state. I am incredibly grateful that I found Greg. One would assume that having a divorce attorney located literally across the country would be frustrating. It was not, in any way. The distance could have been a mile, and it would not have been any different. He not only kept me constantly informed, but he was also incredibly accessible. While most attorneys are available during business hours, or by phone and email, Greg was even accessible via text. Who does that?! Thus, if I had an emergency, or quick advice, he was swift to answer. And it's not like he was charging me for every little bit of communication. He was honest, and he was good. Greg listened to my concerns and reviewed the case honestly. He didn't pull punches, and he was always candid with me about the likelihood of winning. He kept me even keeled, gave me excellent advice, and above all, he was wise in everything he did. Wisdom is an extremely rare trait to have. He has it in abundance. It's not knowledge. It's not smarts. It's different. In the end, I won! It's difficult enough being a male in a divorce/custody case. It's even more difficult when you're in the military and live in Virginia. But I won. And while some things dropped in our laps, I owe my win to Greg. I am forever grateful to him.

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.

Meggin Rutherford and her paralegal, Sarah Duff, are compassionate professionals who supported me through one of the most difficult times of my life. They successfully represented me in my divorce from an abusive narcissist who thought he was a lawyer despite being kicked out of law school and losing all of his frivolous lawsuits against perceived enemies. Needless to say, he was a nightmare to work with, but Meggin and Sarah did not put up with any of his nonsense. Eventually, he realized he was up against experienced professionals who would not be bullied by him, so he hired an attorney, which made the process easier for us. I came out of the divorce with what I wanted and ready to move forward with my life thanks to the excellent work of Meggin and her team!

She was always available when I reached out and response time was quick for each inquiry I had. She made the awful process so much easier for me by being informative, available, and knowledgeable. She also followed up with me post-final hearing and I would recommend her to anyone finding themselves in this unfortunate life event.

Mike was beyond amazing to work with. He is an incredible attorney and we got a favorable outcome on my case. From our first phone call he listened to me and was very sympathetic for my situation. I had spoke with several lawyers prior and they were not as kind or compassionate as he is. This was my first time needing a lawyer. Mike helped make the entire process smooth and not intimidating. He is very good at his job and does it with ease. He is also very reasonably priced. I fully recommend Mike if you are in need of an attorney. I hope to not need a criminal defense attorney in the future but if I do, Mike will be the one I call and who I refer people to.

I initially spoke to Chris when a friend referred me to him for consultation regarding starting a divorce process. However, it was soon evident that I would need to hire a lawyer to help me navigate what was potentially going to be a messy and long divorce, mostly concerning money and our one child together. Hiring Chris was the best thing I did! He is clear and concise when speaking and I felt he cared a lot about what I was going through. He stayed calm, even when I was stressing out, about the different stages and parts of the divorce process. There was not much going back and forth, and I felt the divorce ended well and was fair. For anyone needing help navigating a divorce and all the complexities involved, I would highly recommend Chris as the best person to help ensure a quick and fair process, especially during such a difficult time.

I was in a not-at-fault auto accident in Colorado Springs, where I was rear-ended, and my car was totaled. After speaking with Mr. Clawson, I retained him as my attorney. Mr. Clawson and his team were courteous and professional and provided exceptional representation. I received a settlement more significant than I could have imagined. I highly recommend the Clawson Team for any bodily injury accident claim! The free initial consultation was also helpful! Thank you.

I highly recommend Clawson & Clawson! Mr. Clawson and the whole team were so helpful, understanding, and knew exactly how to get things done as related to my automobile accident. My medical bills added up quickly, and I never thought they would all be covered, let alone get money for me. I was amazed at the outcome. I received the best medical treatment, and my  expenses were covered.   I received more than I ever hoped to cover future needs. Thank you, Mr. Clawson!

At a time when my options appeared limited, with previous attorneys, and the possibility to have a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible, I found Mr. Hassler. He helped me during my divorce process, since the very first day he took my case. His calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional support, in the most difficult time of my life. He communicated with me during the entire process, was completely transparent, and answered all my questions. His staff is always extremely friendly, and empathetic with me. They gave me peace of mind during a difficult time. I know I made the best choice by hiring him. My daughter and I are eternally grateful for his service, and I would highly recommend him without any kind of reservation.

Michael was absolutely professional and accommodating throughout the entire process of my custody battle and court hearings. He explained everything clearly and walked me through every document and scenario that came my way. He gave me thorough input to help ME make decisions that were best suited for myself and my family. He is very knowledgeable and often made suggestions to allow me to do some of the research and other things myself to save money. THIS was such an incredible concession that many attorneys will not offer. He was very agreeable with my budget and suggesting financial avenues to keep my case going because I had to see this through to the end. He was amenable to creating a financial plan with me so that I could finish my case. He was clear every step of the way in regards to costs including court fees, his hourly rate, the amount of time each thing would take, etc. He made sure every I was dotted and T was crossed, and every loophole was sealed. In addition to his professional expertise, he was very compassionate about my situation and everything I was going through legally and remained professional but sympathetic throughout the entirety of the process. I would absolutely recommend him on a custody case and will definitely suggest that anything you have concerns about you make clear to him at the beginning and throughout the whole process, so he can benefit you in the best way possible and you feel you are being heard.

Getting a divorce is hard...being divorced can be pretty great though (if you have a good lawyer!) That's where Emily at Ellison Law came in for me. I had an extremely contentious and drawn out divorce due to my ex not wanting to cooperate and be civil. In times where it felt like my entire life way in full chaos, Emily's sound advice, level minded strategies, and keen awareness of the divorce process was my only saving grace. While divorce is ultimately painful, sad, expensive, and life-changing for everyone involved, having a good lawyer to help you through it and to help plan for what your life looks like after divorce is so critical, especially if you are divorcing someone who wants to make the process as difficult as possible. Emily had my back at every turn, she fought hard for me in court, and was so thoroughly prepared that it truly saved my life, the life I have now, the stability my kids have now. I had to put so much trust into Emily's guidance and knowledge of the system, and I'm so glad I did. She was thoughtful and kind, took the time to answer questions fully, explain processes to me, and think ahead for me (especially when all I could do was sometimes barely see through the day I was in). I truly don't know how I would be on this side of a very ugly divorce without her. If you are finding yourself going through separation or divorce, I can not recommend Ellison Law enough! Thank you Emily!

Kim went above and beyond for me. I was fired unjustly, and we received a settlement. Kim was compassionate and wanted to help me due to her ethical and empathetic nature. Kim took my case, knowing that she may not be commpensated at all. She let me know she wanted to at least stand up to them. If we hadn't reached a settlement outside of court, then she wasn't going to charge me anything. I really am grateful for Kim being there for me. As I was turned away by another lawyer who said I didn't have a case. I had just about given up. Thank you, Kim.

I highly recommend Knies, Helland & McPherson. Jenni (Helland) did an amazing job. My ex and her attorney were very antagonistic, liked to draw out the process, and did everything they could to drive up legal fees. Jenni was great in understanding what was happening and the likely outcomes or consequences. She avoided emotional arguments, and instead made sound legal ones. More importantly, she advised me when I was making an emotional decision and gave recommendations on what actions I could take that would be legally successful. Having someone in your corner that was willing to tell you what you needed to hear, instead of what you wanted to hear saved me thousands of dollars. This is not a law firm that will needlessly drive up costs. For example, I was never charged for attorneys fees for anyone Jenni may have consulted with (this is a frequent tactic of less reputable law firms). I was never given a weekly 'update' that created billing hours even if nothing was happening in the case. Jenni never had me make needless discovery requests, subpoenas or motions that are typical and drive up costs. I had a more experienced and higher hourly rate attorney than my ex, but my ex's legal fees were 30% higher because of all the shenanigans they played. Jenni will give you the legal experience you need without driving up costs.

KLM is the place to go hands down if you want to come out a WINNER!!!!! Review for Kelly McPherson & Stephanie Steiner❤️❤️❤️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a very challenging case, and after firing my previous lawyer who did nothing but take my money.A friend referred me to Kelly.I called & she got me in.She stepped in and completely turned things around as messed up as they were & as hysterical & crying as I was she immediately calmed me down & reassured me she would do her best to make things right.She had to go back and fix everything that the previous lawyer had supposedly done, and she did it with skill and dedication. She is an amazing attorney, and I would recommend her and Stephanie to anyone who needs someone who genuinely works for them—not for themselves. Kelly & Stephanie are hard-working, down-to-earth, and always straight to the point. No BS. From the very beginning, I could tell she had my best interests at heart. She’s not just about making empty promises—she delivers results. Her communication is excellent, and she always made me feel heard and valued. I never once felt like I was in the dark during the process, and she consistently reassured me with her level-headed, professional approach.Communication was great.Always returned emails in a timely matter & Stephanie was great about helping with paperwork & returning emails & anything that needed to be addressed.I was never left in the dark.These ladies were wonderful & I thank them from the bottom of my heart. In the courtroom, she’s a force—well-prepared and incredibly professional. Plus, her office is comfortable and welcoming, which made it easier to sit down and discuss difficult topics. If you’re looking for a divorce lawyer who truly works for you, cares about your family, and won’t waste your time or money, I highly recommend Kelly McPherson and Stephanie Steiner.They’re exactly the kind of legal team you want in your corner. BEST LEGAL TEAM OUT THERE!!!

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
