Wow. Mr. Cooper is absolutely wonderful. Not having much experience on the law side of things, I felt as if I was lost and hopeless. Mr. cooper answered every phone call and text. He was on-top of everything, explained every step and did not back down. I cannot say enough good things. Please refer Richard Cooper to everyone! Trust me, he is amazing! Thank you Richard Cooper for helping my family you truly saved us!

I found amanda kazzi and her team after hitting my breaking point with my horrible custody battled I started searching attorneys as I felt the court was not seeking the justice my child deserves and many lawyers during consultations asked me questions about my case just to say it’s not much that can be done defeated after so many try’s I came across Mrs.kazzi and my mother said just try it and I’m SO HAPPY I did from the consultation I KNEW she was the one instead of asking me the questions she listed things we can do she took her time reviewing my case before we ever spoke and that is when I knew she would fight for my baby’s justice she and her team are truly AMAZING! They genuinely care about EVERY client they make you feel comforted in hard times my custody case is indeed very stressful and upsetting I feel I call everyday in tears with the stressful situation but Mrs.kazzi and her team responds every time fast and they never make you feel like a bother they are truly a blessing she has made so much progress in such a small amount of time I’m confident she will get what my daughter deserves and after watching her in court she is indeed a pitbull and she is great at what she does I will continue to use her and refer her to anyone needing help! I will forever be greatfull for her and her team they don’t know how much they have helped to really bring light into my life if you want someone to fight for everything and more that you deserve call! I promise you will see the first 2 minutes in Mrs kazzi and her wonderful team are the best law firm in Florida!

Thank you, Christi for helping me navigate through my divorce! I was married for over 35 years and my husband’s request was unforeseen and a huge shock. I was in a state of sadness and self-doubt when I came to see you. You restored my confidence and helped me get a better settlement than I couldhave imagined. Christi is fair and honest. I recommend Christi to anyone without reservation. She’s the BEST!

Extremely helpful Attorney, actually took time out of his own schedule for about an hour to look into my case and give me really good feedback. He was on point with everything and was very polite and understood very well how to read and understand the Florida statue. If you are considering hiring an attorney, you definitely need to contact him and give him an opportunity to look into your case.

Attorney Kevin Rollin and his team Lisa (Paralegal), Rick (Neutral CPA) and Teresa ( Neutral Psychologist/Mediator were instrumental with the quick and successful ending to a very difficult time in my life. They were all very supportive and guided me through the Collaborative Divorce process. They knew my situation and understood what I needed financially and mentally during and after the divorce was final. I definitely recommend Attorney Rollin & his team for a Collaborative Divorce if you are looking for an equitable division of marital assets. They are wonderful to work with. Thank you so much & God Bless you all.

We would like to let everyone in South Florida that lives within an HOA that
LSCarlson is an amazing law firm.
From the very first call we made to the conclusion of our problem the firm and Daniela Tolliver were terrific. They listened advising, suggesting and supportive throughout. Her work together with
Keith Braun was stellar and the conclusive result was what we had hoped for at a very fair rate.
We would not hesitate to engage the firm again if in need of the very best legal representation.

Hiring Mr.Dickstein was one of the best decisions I ever made.
My son was facing a second-degree felony and two misdemeanors, but Mr. Dickstein worked tirelessly with the prosecutor to secure the best possible outcome. He kept us informed at every stage and made sure to explain the legal process in simple, understandable terms. We wouldn't have been able to navigate this challenging time without Mr. Dickstein on our side.

I can’t thank Jonah Dickstein enough for his outstanding work on my case. I was facing false charges of misuse of the 911 or E911 system and resisting an officer without violence, brought against me by an angry officer when I was never arrested. From the beginning, Jonah demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal system and an impressive knowledge of the law. Rather than wasting time and money in court, he worked to secure a pretrial deferment, which ultimately led to my case being dismissed. Jonah is incredibly professional, responsive, and genuinely cares about his clients’ well-being. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy and effective attorney. He turned a stressful situation into a manageable process and achieved the best possible outcome for me.

Honestly, the best lawyer, I’ve had the experience of working with, & I’ve had quite a few! Very professional always there for you 100%, answers the phone unless he’s in court. Probably should have billed me for a therapist fee because while I was going through my tribulations he was always there for me to talk to, and vent to! Even came by my mom‘s house to meet my family and just check on me face-to-face, Not only is he a great lawyer he’s a great person with a great heart, Rare nowadays to find a lawyer with such passion about what he does and for his clients! Recommend 10 out of 10! Best lawyer in the state of Florida my personal opinion! Forever will feel indebted to him for helping me and seeing me through my court case. Thank you so much Jona!

I am incredibly impressed with the professionalism and efficiency of Danriah Welch . From the moment I walked into the office, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. She consistently demonstrated exceptional organizational skills, ensuring that all documents were meticulously prepared, and deadlines were met without fail.
Danriah has a remarkable ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously while maintaining a calm and composed demeanor. Her communication skills are top-notch, always keeping me informed about the status of my case and promptly addressing any questions or concerns I had.
What truly sets Danriah apart is her dedication to client satisfaction. She went above and beyond to ensure that I felt supported throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail and commitment to excellence are evident in every aspect of her work.
I highly recommend Danriah Welch to anyone in need of a reliable and highly competent law office manager. She truly had a significant positive impact on my experience with the law firm.

I hired them cause they were all I could afford after my ex walked out with our savings account. They managed to get the job done but they're were condescending, barely communicated, canceled phone meetings if they just didn't feel like answering my questions, didn't keep me appraised of the progress and were rude and nasty and belligerent when I followed up. They seemed to care more about being buddies with my ex's lawyer than representing me fairly and fighting for me. It was a traumatic divorce already made worse by their attitude. If you can afford any other lawyer, do it. Don't use these guys unless you like being abused and are really desperate for your divorce to be finalized (I was).

I can’t recommend Bill enough. From the very start, he guided me through the entire process step by step, ensuring I understood everything clearly. Divorce is complicated, but Bill made it manageable by explaining all my options and helping me make solid decisions along the way.
What impressed me most was the time and effort he put into my case. Bill paid attention to every detail and left no stone unturned. I never felt rushed, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me.
Most importantly, he has the kind of integrity and professionalism that’s hard to find. Bill was honest, straightforward, and always maintained confidentiality. Knowing he had everything under control gave me a lot of confidence throughout the process.
If you’re looking for a lawyer who is sharp, ethical, and dedicated, I highly recommend Bill. He made a difficult process much smoother and delivered excellent results.

I originally tried to work with my ex to do things collaboratively but in the end I needed Vette to step in and get the job done. And that is exactly what Melanie did. Everyone and their mother has an opinion about the outcome and since I don't get divorced regularly, I really don't know if it could have been better. But I do know that it could have been worse. And I know that Melanie, and everyone I interacted with, was very helpful, understanding, sympathetic, and patient. I didn't know anything about this process and Melanie always took the time to explain things and give me options. I really appreciate all the help she gave me along the way.

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.
