Eva was recommended to me by a close friend, and I decided to have her represent me in my divorce case. She was able to thoroughly explain to me what to expect and answered all of my questions every step of the way. She went above and beyond to fight for the best possible outcome for myself and my daughter, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. She is very organized and quick to respond and was able to calm my nerves and reassure me throughout the entire process. I would recommend Eva 110% without a doubt.

"Thank you Donna. I am enjoying my new life immensely! Financial freedom is wonderful. I can't thank you [Donna] enough for the guidance, insight, and of course the alimony! I knew from our first meeting that I had made the right decision in hiring you. I'm a stronger, smarter woman because of you. There's no way I could have made it through this process on my own."

Verna’s expertise, life wisdom, and passion for her field and the clients she is representing are just some examples of her qualities that make her truly stand out. She is well respected by the field and a true role model. I am personally so very grateful for the counsel she provided me with. Her witand compassion, integrity, eye for detail, determination, and unwavering trust is what helped me to go through a life transition with confidence. She has been like a gift from the universe in times when I needed someone like her the most. In addition, her paralegal's dedication to her job and service she provides to clients and her support to Verna all make it possible that clients are supported in the best possible way and to go beyond when needed.

The thoroughness and preparation with which Melissa approached my case was exemplary! That, along with the innovative strategies she incorporated, reduced the time frame of the divorce from a year to seven months. It was moving towards a trial which would have added another four to five months. In the courtroom, Melissa was sharp as a razor's edge. Respectful and amicable with the other side until they began personal attacks and bullying in and out of court. Melissa was not having ANY of that nonsense and the gloves came off both in and out of court! She was prepared for the other side to try that tactic and fought back with facts they weren't prepared to address. Ultimately, she did not allow my character to get decimated due to false accusations. She also read me as far as how much and which kind of information I could could take at any given time, she did not inundate me but rather waited until she knew I was ready to hear it. I could go on all day and write many more paragraphs. Simply put... the opposing attorney and ex-wife were on a mission to destroy my character and break me financially which is NO exaggeration. I know if I did not have a lawyer the caliber of Melissa, not only would these proceedings still be going on, the other side probably would've achieved their goal. You will not go wrong or regret retaining Melissa as your lawyer, it would be the smartest thing you could do!

It's my pleasure to submit a positive review for attorney Dan Murphy.
Dan brings integrity to his profession, something I suspect he demonstrates in his personal life as well. During my 13 month divorce, he continually coached me on the value of restraint, always concerned with how any action might be perceived should we head to trial. His patience, coupled with his relentless attention to detail, resulted in a positive outcome when my divorce turned from amicable to litigious.
Dan successfully reduced my now ex-wife's settlement demand by 85%. Her lawyer tried an aggressive approach that Dan's experience and coolheadedness was able to navigate and resolve using the facts of our case.
While I am grateful to settling only weeks before our trial, part of me wishes I could have seen Dan litigate -- his tenacity and willingness to fight on my behalf was a preview I got to glimpse during deposition.
Thank you, Dan.

My divorce has finally ended. Attorney Gersten’s representation, guidance, and ability to walk me through this process was top notch. I had a very contentious divorce, my ex tried to have me put in prison on false accusations. Attorney Gersten was right there on the phone with the detectives keepingme free. In the end we accomplished all my goals in the divorce and feel like the judge truly saw my side of events. Karen’s closing was a perfect summary of how I had been wronged by my wife and my love of my daughter, the other victim in this case. I nearly cried in court. Her staff has always been there to answer questions and give reassurance that my voice was going to be heard. Every case is different, I can’t predict an outcome in yours, but Karen Gersten is going to relentlessly pursue your best interests.

I recently found myself in the middle of a "gray" divorce. 70 years old, married for 13 years to a woman that turned on me. I decided to represent myself in court, defending my pension, Social Security, health care, non marital assets, bank accounts and such. It didn't take long for me to realize I needed a professional consultation as her attorney's proposal was outrageous and would ruin me financially for the rest of my life.
Karen's name was highly recommended by a close friend. A quick email to her office and I scheduled a consultation.
I'm a good judge of people and immediately knew she was the person I wanted representing me. No nonsense or small talk. Straight to the point. Professional and knows the law. I knew she had my back.
Once the dust settled, I was able to keep 90% of what I worked my entire life for. To say I am happy with her service would be an understatement.
Regarding payment, her billing was straightforward and well documented. The entire process cost me much less than I expected.
In short, I would highly recommend consulting with Karen first. You won't regret it.

Attorney Gersten is a top divorce attorney in the area. She did an amazing job and what seemed to be impossible to me a year ago. I went through a very difficult divorce. Before hiring attorney Gersten I interviewed 4 other attorneys and I am glad I chose Karen. She is very efficient and has fair charges and accounting of hours practice. Karen is very knowledgeable and well respected in the court. She always fights to protect interests of her clients, while open to settlement without unnecessary trials if her clients are satisfied with outcome. If presented with challenge, Karen is open to face it without hesitation and do research of precedents to be used in the court. Karen is always confident and has genuine care for her clients. She always comes to the court prepared and ready to protect your interests. Karen is working hard to make sure she provides high quality service. I wish I could give Karen more than 5 starts.

I retained Attorney Shore for a divorce agreement modification. All I can say is WOW. Hands down the best Attorney I have ever hired in my entire life. She is tough, smart, and not afraid to tackle difficult and sensitive issues with a firm and caring hand. I have never seen someone stand up for my rights in court the way that Attorney Shore did. She worked with me out of state, spent long hours on my case, all while she was EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT. I can not put into words what her representation has meant to me and my family. If you do not hire Attorney Shore, you are not hiring the best.

I am extremely pleased with the services provided by Attorney J. Ginzberg. I came to him after almost two years into a divorce case that was not going anywhere. My prior attorney proved to be ineffective, uncaring, and often unreachable. Shortly after taking over, Attorney Ginzberg earned my trust. He conveyed competence, and clearly showed a sense of urgency by his proactiveness. He prepared a thoughtful plan of action, formulating various arguments in support of my case. Unlike his predecessor, Attorney Ginzberg was responsive, forthcoming, and consistently followed through on commitments. He took the lead in this case, stayed on top of developments, and had no reservations in challenging the opposing party. This concerted effort over a short six-month period resulted in Attorney Ginzberg settling my case on very equitable terms.
I highly recommend Attorney J. Ginzberg to anyone seeking legal help. When I first met him and expressed disappointment with prior counsel, he readily asserted to me that I had come to the right place. I certainly did.

Attorney Ginzberg is exactly what you need for an attorney when you’re going through a divorce. He was empathetic, very much to the point and got everything done quickly. I went through to other attorneys before him that took my money and got nothing done. For this, I highly recommend Jeffrey Ginzberg.

Attorney Wing took a very difficult divorce and helped make the outcome as positive as possible for both parties. The process was challenging, due to unforeseen circumstances. His professionalism with the opposing side along with his knowledge of the court process, made the divorce less painful. Attorney Wing takes the time to listen to his clients and help get the best outcome as possible.

Attorney Wing helped me to create and send a demand letter when my former landlord failed to pay me back my duly owed security deposit. His assistance gave me the confidence to pursue a matter that felt intimidating.
In the past, I've dealt with lawyers that came off as being aloof and unpersonable. Attorney Wing, by contrast, is an extraordinarily genuine person who simultaneously manages to deftly navigate the law for his clients-- a balancing act which was impressive to behold, and which made me feel at all times that I was in good hands. I also had the chance to work with Karen, his paralegal, who was attentive and quick with communications.
I could not recommend Attorney Wing's services more highly.

Do not. I repeat do NOT settle for a subpar attorney when your reputation rests on another mans shoulders. This lawyer knows how the legal system works from a to z and if you are being falsely accused he will fight for you until the end. He worked tirelessly along with is assistant to get a false charge dismissed and was successful. Do not waste your time looking at reviews that say anything negative about this lawyer. He works extremely hard to uphold the the law and integrity of his clients it is on another level. Thanks jim and i appreciate your punctiality proffesionalism and attention to detail and payment flexibility.

Mary Oberg is one of the best attorneys in the business in the Connecticut area. I've had the misfortune to need a divorce attorney three times and her services far exceeded the other two. She is diligent in getting you a fair settlement and takes you through all the steps needed to get there. She carefully explains all matters in a way you will understand and makes every effort to protect her clients from any unforeseen risks. I recommend her highly and wish I had used her in the past.

Artila,
Initially I thought to conduct this whole case by phone and video was going to be of a big concern from Green Valley AZ. But after our first interview I knew the settlement would close without much drama. I also knew that I had indeed commissioned a lawyer who was astute, with common sense, communicated well, and owned a wonderful negotiation skill set. Artila, you negotiated my percentage of the Divorce Decree, and the “pound of flesh” that was particularly important to me with the plaintiff embarrassed and bewildered. Thank you.

He went out out of his way and drove to office just to meet me on 'snow days' when the entire town was shut down. He helped me during the mediation process with the mediator as well as helped me tap into spouses pension accounts that I had never looked into. Greg is just a great guy! Highly recommend him!

Attorney Nicole Carnemolla and Team, were wonderful - I highly recommend. Nicole was honest, professional and set real expectations with me from the start. I believe the perfect representation of their efforts was to "under-promise and over deliver". Her honesty about financial affidavits allowed me to prepare for the worst case scenario. The divorce process is never easy, however, Nicole and Team found a way to make me feel at ease, protected and ensured my voice was heard by putting the appropriate court orders in place since the very beginning. The divorce took a little longer than I'd hoped because opposing party had the financial means to prolong the process. Nicole heard my needs and found avenues to make this come to an end. I believe the resolution was fair and equitable.

August of 2016 I came to Attorney Davis with a mess involving my teenage son. In the past, I had worked with several attorneys that delivered poor results and wasted a lot of my money. I found Attorney Davis through a referral from another highly regarded Attorney that was too busy to take my case at the time. Immediately Attorney Davis took the case on and began working on the situation within 24 hours of agreeing on the use of her services. Over the last year and a half Attorney Davis navigated my case through the courts and strategically worked with the other involved attorneys on my behalf. While working with Attorney Davis I have found that she is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, thoughtful, strategic, conscious, and a truly amazing person. I can confidently recommend Attorney Davis for family matters involving children. Attorney Davis has been fair and the cost for using her services was worth every penny. I would consider Attorney Davis to be a true adversary of families with a strong moral compass, and passion for giving clients her absolute best work. Thank you, Attorney Davis you are awesome and I truly appreciate all that you do!

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.
