I had the pleasure of working with Karl Magnus for my estate planning needs, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From our first meeting, Karl's deep knowledge of estate law was immediately evident, and his ability to break down complex legal concepts into understandable terms made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

06 Aug, 2024 by Steve korwin

This is the second time my wife and I used Karl's estate planning services in 12 years. He helped us create a robust estate plan 12 years ago, and most recently guided us through a simple updating process to be sure our current interests were respected and protected in our estate plan. We would recommend Karl and his team for your estate planning needs as well.

I have been represented by Attorney Alfant twice in my life, in two different heart wrenching situations. My first experience with him was in 2016 and 2017 at which time I was going through the process of a divorce and being the petitioner of an injunction and my second experience was in 2023 when dealing with an injunction following the death of my fiancé. Both times that I was represented by him he went above and beyond to ensure my well-being in the well-being of my family and others involved in each case. His ability to act on the spot and his intelligence are unmatched. He never wavered once during either process, and his confidence in both himself and me which gave me confidence to know that everything is going to be okay. I never had to worry about whether or not the right thing would happen because of the incredible attorney that he has. He was able to cite things such as caselaw and statutes off the top of his head when needed even at times when something happened or was said that we had not planned on. Both he and his assistant Amanda took as much time needed to ensure that I was comfortable with everything going on, and that I was made of everything that I would need to know during this process. They spent as much time needed to ensure that I felt comfortable, even if that meant taking away time from their personal lives. The compassion and empathy that they show that they truly care for their clients, and even the other parties that may be involved in a case. So often we run into professionals that get caught up in a world of making money, and forget why it is that they began to practice law that this is certainly not the case for attorney, Alfant or Amanda. They are both out to ensure that the best outcome happens that will benefit the well-being of the parties involved. I honestly do not know what how my life forever ended up if not for Attorney Alfant. He even went as far as to remain in contact with me after my case was completed, and when the need for his services came up again, he wasted no time in coming to my aid. He is truly meant to be an attorney and not just an attorney, but one of the best attorneys that could ever exist. His ability to be passionate about what he does for remaining professional is not an ability that is seen often. When it comes to the reputation of attorneys, or just a person in general, there is no debate in my mind that he is one of the best. All of the situations that I was involved in during the times that I worked with him or situations that I would have preferred to have never been in one prefer to never be in again, I’m honestly glad to have been able to be represented by a person as amazing as Attorney Alfant. Both myself and my family will be grateful to him forever for what he has done for us. Thank you Attorney Alfant for always being there for me and for reminding me that the world still has good people in it.

I hired Mrs Cardena in 2018 to help me with a child support cause. I am a divorced woman with two children and I raised my children five years ago at $ 300 a month and hired her to help me do justice. I was paid Her $ 2000, the only reservation I had in hopes of a better days. My process took two years with a lot of disrespect, She never answered my calls or emails, She have no responsibility to her schedules, the only time She went to court with me, I was not aware of my case. Anyway, this same day I decided to close my case with $ 500 a month, because my mental strain made me a migraine. Here is my warning: if you Want to have migraine hires Lorena Cardama.

07 Apr, 2020 by Shawn romano

Lorena is an amazing lawyer and resource for me, my family, and my business. She is always providing knowledge and guidance through trying times. Always a helping hand for her clients. She feels more like family than a lawyer. I am greatful to have her support and expertise.

10 Apr, 2018 by Maria

I hired Lorena to be my lawyer for modification of child support and majority of custody of my kids. Although it has been 10 long months and my case is not over, I wanted to write this review to show my appreciation. She is working so hard on my case. I had 3 lawyers during my divorce in 2010 and I can say by far, she is the BEST! I’m so thankful for her cause God answered my prayers after all these years by meeting her. She is such a blessing to me and my children.

Jeevan provided excellent legal counsel for my case. His extensive knowledge of the law, strategic approach, and clear communication made a complex situation manageable! Jeevan was responsive, professional, and genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome. He successfully helped dismiss my cases, demonstrating his expertise and dedication. Jeevan truly goes the extra mile to help his clients. I felt well-represented throughout the process. I highly recommend Jeevan Rampersad for anyone seeking a competent and dedicated attorney who will vigorously advocate for their interests!

28 Jun, 2024 by Anonymous

Jeevan was a great lawyer! My case wasn’t too serious; I basically got a speeding ticket. From the moment he took my case he was very attentive, kind, and polite. Our conversations were only over the phone, however, he was always very friendly and clearly was interested in making his clients feel as comfortable and heard as possible while using his service. We even talked a bit about life! All our conversations were great. In terms of the service itself, he kept me in the loop about everything before and after the trial without having to get me super nervous or involved. I literally just carried on with my life as he figured it out. When I got his call a month after our consultation to let me know my case was dismissed, he was still very polite and super professional. Overall, I had a great experience with Jeevan and I would recommend his service to anyone needing a lawyer. He was very efficient and overall awesome!

Jeevan got all my charges dropped and was genuine without giving me false hope. we achieved the ideal situation on 3 cases and I was able to get all the charges dismissed. Thank you.

I hired Cynthia Hernandez for my child paternity case, and she was never available. She was never on top of things. I would have to remind her of everything. She got an attitude with me because I told her things needed to be done asap not months later. Wanted a lot more money than when I first was hiring her.

09 May, 2023 by Anonymous

I am very grateful for the legal advice Cynthia provided to me in a proactive and forward thinking way for my own peace of my mind and to avoid chaos. She was personable, friendly, and honest and seemed to truly hear and care where I was coming from. I would recommend consulting with her. She gave the best advice to help make my life easier in my situation. I felt a weight was lifted off of me. Thank you Cynthia. :-)

28 Feb, 2022 by Raqual palmer

Words and Thank You can't express my gratitude to Cynthia Hernandez. It was no one but "GOD", who sent her to help me. I was stressed and hopeless in my pursuit of custody of my daughter. From the moment of my consultation with "Cynthia", she put my mind at ease. Thank you to the staff @Hernandez Family Law. I HAVE MY LITTLE ONE!!! I don't feel "Thank You" is enough. Anyone trying too decide to retain "Cynthia Hernandez" YOU WON'T BE SORRY. If, I can give any advice (Have Patience, Anything ask for to help your case (Try your best to get it, in a timely manner) and Most of All (Stay in Communication with your Attorney and her office).

For over six months, I've been living in terror at 6823 NW 4 Ave. Every night, I dread returning to my own apartment. The lot next door, supposedly an investment by this law firm, has become a haven for illegal activities. They house the homeless there, who smuggle and uses drugs right under our noses. It's a shameful and dangerous situation.

I would give this law form 0 stars however -1 is the lowest , but here is my review Harris hung on me - a disabled veteran - when trying to receive my deed. His staff told me they were not obligated to give me the paper. After I called back Harris, calling me “bro” said he mailed it and fulfilled his obligation. Zero attention to detail, very little professionalism and in the end no resolution was established because he was too busy “bro’n” me. Please if your a veteran do not use this firm. I am a veteran from The 82nd 2/504 and the professionalism shown my Harris and his staff is a NO-GO - I even explained that I need the deed to submit my packet for a grant modifying my home to aid my disability. he laughed when I told him I would be leaving a review.

Ms. Haber helped me with a rough patch in my life, a paternity matter. She is very honest and thorough, explaining in detail the whole process. The fact that she held my hand every step of the way and put my kids first . Communicates effectively and gives realistic expectations. She always answered quickly. Thankful she was there to guide me through such a process.

Any chance I get to endorse Darin Gardner, I will. As I said, in my case, I dealt with 4 separate attorneys before getting any real results. He set my case on the most direct path to the courtroom, where the others just seemed to want to run up bills. His level of preparation is second to none, and we got the outcome he wanted. I have a friend/former coworker in a somewhat similar situation that I was in, and personally recommended he hire Darin. If you are looking to light money on fire, hire someone else. If you want results, hire Darin.

17 Oct, 2017 by Anonymous

Darin C. Gardner was level headed and direct with his questioning and his proactive approach. His dynamic team was above and beyond what I could have ever asked. His experience proved who he was in character and he fought for my children & I. His detailed efforts even proved effective 5 years later in reviewing my divorce and custody! I appreciated Darin's individual dedication to my case and I never once felt like I was just another client. He and his staff do everything in their ability to assure you of their capabilities. I highly recommend Darin and his competent staff. I was referred by my friend Tracey and I am eternally grateful and blessed for his efforts. Thank you Darin!

Darin was very available and handled my child custody nicely. He was able to present the facts timely and competently in front of the Judge. He made suggestions that were beneficial during the case preparation and hearing.

After being referred to this agency by the Florida Bar Lawyer Referral Agency I connected with Attorney Carpenter and he did a fantastic job at addressing my concerns and answering my questions regarding my case. I have yet to retain his services due to the circumstances of my case, but will happily do so considering that he was knowledgeable and confident in review of my case. Additionally, I will add, his rates seem very fair.

05 Jun, 2018 by Rebecca

First, I want to thank you for all that you have done to help me through the process. You are exceptionally knowledgeable, caring, patient and supportive. Whenever I had questions, you were prompt in answering them to help me understand. I would recommend you to anyone who needs a team who will work 100% for their client. Having you work as my attorney was the best decision I could have made. Thank you for helping me get through one of the most difficult times… Your help, your compassion and understanding were so much appreciated… along with your patience… Each of you took a personal interest in my case even when I was ready to call it quits. Once again thank you very much for the time and effort you all put into the matters regarding my case. You have given me a peace of mind, and it is comforting to know that I can always call somebody I trust. Hopefully our paths will cross again at some point in the future, in a less legal setting.

6/1/18 John Kovarik’s review: John Kovarik was a God-send for my case! I was extremely glad that I choose Mr. Kovarik for myself! He went way above what was needed & expected in my divorce case! Being very scared as a disabled & newly single lady after a 22 year marriage. This was my very 1st divorce (absolutely hopefully my very last) he helped me so much to understand! To understand the legal “Jargon” in “Lay-man’s terms” if you will! He was always fair & told me the truth and his opinion. I was so appreciative of that! I would confidently recommend highly!

09 Oct, 2017 by Cathy

Mr. Kovairk was my divorce lawyer. He Anticipated all my needs and concerns. He went that extra mile, he was there 24 seven to answer all my questions. Mr. Kovarik knows the Law very well, and I would recommend him to all my friends.

29 Sep, 2017 by Joseph

I hired John Kovarik to represent me in a child custody/support hearing. He did a fantastic job! He represented me with diligence and tenacity. very straight forward . What I liked the most was his integrity in the court room as my ex wife lawyer was show boating John was direct and factual thus I won my case I retained custody of my daughter and I also was given a unprecedented credit towards over payments in child support. I recomend John Kovarik. Great attorney very affordable and he is all about doing the right thing!

Today I had a telephone consult with Atty Kenneth Walton who graciously even though I could not afford his services. He still was willing to give me insight and guidance to help me with my critical situation. I would refer him a million times over. He did not have to still assist me with resources and giving me advice. He was also willing to leave the door open if I still had additional questions. He repeatedly told me to call him back for any additional help. This put me at ease and let me know that he was truly trying to help and is a genuine person. This law group is amazing, I really appreciate the excellent legal advice. Thanks Sonia McClary

His website makes the misrepresentation that it is a free evaluation which makes people believe an attorney will be evaluating the case. They charged me $150 for a telephone consultation but claimed it was for a telephone evaluation (Misleading. I never received a valuation I only gave info. and schedule the telephone consult). Then the attorney Joseph told me that he would refund any unused retainer funds during the telephone conversation but when I got the retainer agreement, it stated NON-REFUNDABLE retainer of $12,000+ and that the money was earned upon receipt. When I asked him to remove the NON-REFUNDABLE term from the retainer, he refused and declined to represent me. It is my opinion from my initial dealings with him that he was not honest with me. And that he and his firm are very much aware that people are being misled to believe the term "schedule your free evaluation" is a "free consultation" by an attorney but they play on those words to get people to call the firm then they do a BAIT-N-SWITCH. Response to Reply Below I appreciate the immediate response. But the reply does not negate the true facts above. Nevertheless, as of today Oct. 13, 2023, I did NOT receive a refund of my $4,850.00 the reply claims was refunded.

Mr. Joseph and his staff were wonderful and professional in handling my divorce. It was simple, no children, no property, nothing to divide.

I highly recommend anyone who is in the same situation as me to contact The Joseph Firm without hesitation, this will be the best family law firm you will ever need.

I recently hired Simon Wiseman to represent my husband in a criminal case, and I am incredibly pleased with the results and the quality of service provided. Simon did an outstanding job, managing to get the charges reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor and eventually dismissed. Simon was exceptionally responsive throughout the entire process. He kept us informed at every stage, promptly answering all our questions and providing clear explanations of complex legal issues. His communication skills and ability to explain our options in a way that was easy to understand made a significant difference during this stressful time. In terms of professionalism, Simon demonstrated a high level of dedication and commitment to my husband's case. He was always punctual, well-prepared, and handled every aspect with the utmost care and attention to detail. His expertise in criminal law was evident from the start, and his strategic approach was crucial in achieving a favorable outcome. The results speak for themselves: thanks to Simon's diligent work and skilled advocacy, the case was reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor and then dismissed altogether. This outcome has had a profoundly positive impact on our lives, and we are deeply grateful for his efforts. Overall, I had an extremely positive experience working with Simon Wiseman and would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a top-notch criminal defense attorney. His dedication, expertise, and exceptional communication skills make him an outstanding choice for legal representation.

The case manager Emily called within moments of submitting my online request. She was very helpful and then Mr Wiseman called shortly after. He listened to everything and explained what to expect and what was possible. Upfront and fair with his fees. Highly recommend!!

I was lucky to meet Mr Quinn through my stressful case( Family Law) He was available to answer my questions and my concerns directly on phone ( no secretary). He is an accessible and compassionate lawyer. He is really care for his clients. Money not comes first for him. He is affordable. I hardly recommend him for his excellent service.

I scheduled to have an in person consult to make final decisions and meet Ms.Dane in person. This consult was scheduled 3 wks prior, day of my appt I was called at 10am for my 2pm appt to confirm it. Confirmed my appt that I waited over 3 wks for, took off work for for me & my spouse, got a sitter for, and then was called an hour before our appt being told btw there would b an almost $400 charge if I wanted to have the in person consult. Which was the whole point of our meeting. But they could arrange $50 30 min phone call- which we had already done. Her secretary Caroline, would not budge. I felt it was in bad faith to try to charge me hour before my appt after waiting 3 wks. And then only few hours before did they confirm my appt. I told them to keep it as phone appt and I would call back, and I spoke with husband we decided against it. But in mean time the eh called me back to say they scheduled my appt at wrong time in confirmation email as well. If they can’t get simple consult right on day of, hour before, or give any courtesy to their client…and then send wrong time on top of that …I’d hate to see them filing paperwork with judge and in our court system not knowing if it’d be correct or on time. Save yourself the money and run from this!

Jennifer and her team were great to work with. They were very responsive, answered all my questions, and expertly guided me through my legal needs. Would highly recommend!

I was referred to Jennifer Dane's office by another attorney to assist in a family law issue. She and her staff were very professional and communicated well throughout the process. Jennifer brought my case to a swift and desirable resolution. I would highly recommend Jennifer Dane and staff to anyone needing a family law firm.

He was amazing! The dissolution process is excruciatingly slow (no fault of his or his office) but he did an absolutely excellent job on my case. Often people believe that their family law attorney is at fault for any issue in the process, but he is very knowledgeable about the law and the process, and he’s one of the best attorneys in the county. Lori is also just so great to work with as well! She’s so kind and professional. His firm put me in an excellent position during the pendency of my case. I highly recommend his firm.

Clark Henderson was cold and non responsive to emails and phone calls. He did not follow through with what was awarded to me and because he did not have correct information on the court documents, I was not able to receive what was awarded. He would take no phone calls on the situation, I was just told to pay what I owed even though I was unable to collect anything because I was still going through court on the same issues having to represent myself. This is information on my representation from Henderson, so you can be informed when you choose the best attorney for you.

More than a review, this is a public thank you to Jay Patel, who became my attorney and tireless advocate at a potentially life altering moment for me. Courteous, professional, reassuring and straight forward. While it was my challenge, Jay led the way seeing it through to a positive and successful outcome. Without him, my stress level would have been intolerable, and I highly doubt many others could have handled the situation as expertly Jay did. I can neither thank nor recommend Jay enough.

Mr. Jay Patel is very smart and kind. He and his team truly care. I’m very thankful for the support and service.

27 Aug, 2024 by Amy long

I truly cannot give Jay and Sarah enough praise and gratitude in this review! They took over my case from another attorney and treated me like they had me from the beginning. The QUICK, responsive communication from them both and keeping me well informed and making sure I understood each step in the process, made me feel I really had someone on my side, not just pushing me through the system. Their level of fight for their client is unmatched! If I could give them more than five stars, I certainly would! If you need an attorney, you NEED Jay!

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.

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.
