I hired Mr. Glicken to represent me in divorce. He was easy to reach, even on weekends and after-hours! When we were in Court, Mr. Glicken was very professional, detailed with the facts, and easily out performed the opposing attorney. I received detailed bills every month and if I had a question concerning the bill, it was answered. I would recommend Mr. Glicken to others who need a Family or Criminal Attorney!

13 Oct, 2017 by Jp

Mr. Glicken has done multiple legal documents for my family and I. He is easy to get a hold of and takes time to fully understand all of my needs. While he isn't the cheapest attorney in town, it's certainly better than going with a big firm. He is THE guy.

31 Jan, 2017 by Tim

David helped me with a very difficult domestic case. He took the time to listen and understand my needs, and he fought hard to protect my family. He is a passionate advocate, and he was always there for me. I highly recommend David Glicken!!

Hiring Mr. Horan as my attorney was a great experience! He is very knowledgeable about Florida law and passionate about his clients. Attorney Horan will make sure you get what is owed to you. I highly recommend!

14 Feb, 2019 by Anonymous

Mr. Edward (Ed) Horan was hired to fight for the protection of our daughter. Mr. Horan explained the challenges to us, by not being blood relatives, but nonetheless, he put his heart, experience, tenacity and his love for the protection of our daughter and he never gave up. Thanks to Mr. Horan and God, we WON the case. Mr. Horan always sent us detailed invoices that explained the work he completed. My husband and I recommend him to anyone who needs a great, honorable lawyer. In the court room, he is respectful to the judges and other attorneys. He is very known in the leon county courthouse and seems to be respected. He does his homework and KNOWS the right angles and questions to ask whoever is on the stand. You can trust Mr. Horan and the angle he is taking to win and fight for you. Mr. Horan will allow you to bring evidence to him and if it is credible, he will use it. We are thankful that Mr. Horan held our hands throughout the entire process (from the TPR to the adoption). Mr. Horan was very kind to us and stayed in touch, to make sure we didn't have any surprises. Again, if you looking for a GREAT Lawyer that goes up and above his calling, you need to call Mr. Horan to fight for you.

I hired ed about 4 years ago, let's just say everything he had told me went out the window once we went to mediation. I ended up with a horrible agreement that had multiple mistakes in it that the other party used to their advantage. His only advice was for me to hope they didn't notice. I know better now, but was much to trusting back then.

Yet again the legal eagle prevails. I was forced into an unfortunate situation having to defend myself violently in my own home. Subsequently I was arrested for domestic battery against a male assailant. After Mr. Hajaistorn negotiated my Hasty release the legal team went to work. In a time of uncertainty, and the courts being far behind, Alex and his team were able to reduce my violent charges to disturbing the peace plus nominal fine.., also withheld from my record. Once again I highly recommend Alex hajaistorn attorney at law for all of your legal needs and woes!

24 Nov, 2021 by Nathanial

Mr. Hajaistron, Esq. is the attorney you want to be representing you. He will go above and beyond to not only treat you with dignity and respect but also like you are family. He takes the time to carefully and meticulously go over the finite details of your case to provide the absolute best possible representation. No matter what your concern is, he takes the time to listen and more importantly doesn't sugarcoat the matter, he will tell you plainly and clearly what to expect and what the goals are, whether positive or negative, and when negative he absolutely takes ownership in order to tell you how to accomplish the best possible outcome. I'd hire Mr. Hajaiston any day, and I personally keep him on retainer.

05 Aug, 2021 by Anonymous

My experiences with The Law Offices of Alex V. Hajaistron was stupendous through and through. He knows his craft and walks the extra mile for you. I have consulted with him on several different occasions and each one of them was handled with utmost care and professionalism. I appreciate working with people that care for you on a personal level instead of just handling you as a “case“. I HIGHLY recommend, Alex V. Hajaistron, with The Law Offices of Alex V. Hajaistron, he is a TRUE professional and allaround Great Guy!

I was referred to Lourdes when I was in the middle of a highly complex and contested case. Lourdes is as tough of an advocate as you could ever hope for. She's a caring person who was there for me both in an out of the courtroom to help keep me sane during a very contentious process. Her counsel has been invaluable. She is brilliant and a highly skilled litigator. Always very organized, informed, honest and tenacious. Always, the consummate professional, her mere presence elevated the interaction between the parties above the gut wrenching lows that are all too common in family court. She is caring person who will be on 'your side' and always recommend what's best, not just 'on a case'.

18 Sep, 2015 by Chryssoula strapatsa

After a disastrous first run with another firm, I was referred to Lourdes to help me keep my kids, obtain child support and my home. After 3 years of living through hell, I couldn't trust anyone. Lourdes reassured me throughout the entire process, answered all my questions and directed me step by step on how to handle my difficult situation even when at times it was unbearable. I thank her for her professionalism, her savvy knowledge and most importantly how she protected my best interests by paying attention to all the details. Lourdes never gave up and was very motivated to win my case for me throughout the extensive duration. Lourdes came highly recommended and is one hell of an attorney that I would recommended any day of the week and twice on Sundays!

07 Nov, 2014 by Anonymous

I hired Lourdes after my so called top notch attorney butchered my divorce case. Lourdes showed compassion and was tough for me when I could not fight the fight anymore. She always educated me on my rights and stood up for me and for what's right. I appreciated her support, integrity and responsiveness. I would recommend her as a divorce attorney any day!

My wife and I hired Lori a couple of months ago and we were not disappointed. I have dealt with many family law attorneys in the past and my experiences were less than pleasant. Lori is the exception. She was attentive to our needs and gave personalized service. She always returned our phone calls in a timely manner and provided clear and concise advise when needed. Her office staff was also helpful and provided us with constant email updates regarding the status of our case. I could not have asked for better service.

11 May, 2015 by Anonymous

I worked with Lori over the last few months and can say without a doubt, she is one of the most intelligent and capable lawyers I have met. She truly cares for her clients and tries to help them. She knows the legal system and can provide many options for clients. Family law is a difficult area but Lori handles it in the most professional manner I have seen.

06 May, 2024 by Jessica manuel

Ric Woodward is a great divorce attorney. He stood by my decisions and worked hard to get what I wanted. He replied very fast throughout the 2.5 year process. I consider my case a total win as I got pretty much exactly what I had offered my ex husband in the beginning. When others were not prepared during this process, my attorney always was. He was never late, didn’t try to milk money out of me, easily reachable, and prepared (important). In addition, he seems to know a lot of people in the court system and speaks well of others that he does know. It’s just comforting to know you are in respectful and caring hands when going through such a miserable process. Thank you, Ric!

I would highly recommend Ric to anyone that needs legal help. Very Knowledgeable, understanding, up front and honest.

Very professional. Mr. Pickens was very professional during the representation they provided. My case was rather messy, but Mr. Pickens handled the curve balls easily and was straight forward with all his counsel. The issue I have is the lack of follow-up. I contacted him several times with updates in the case whereas his services were needed, but did not want to follow through with the service I expected. He stopped accepting my calls and considered the case closed although it is still ongoing and I still need his assistance , but I received a letter of closure instead. Good representation is very hard to find and Mr. Pickens is a very good attorney and I would use this firm again, but make sure up front that they are willing to see the case to the end.

I highly NOT recommend Mrs. Kay-Ann Waite. I hired her in April and at the beginning she told me it wasn’t going to take too long and it seemed she was going to work hard for me. Then, I had to constantly ask for updates since she didn’t provided any without me asking. It is June now and since 2 weeks ago, I have been calling to her office and sending emails and text messages asking for updates but it seems pointless. If she is not planning to get the job done, I would like to get a refund and hire another lawyer.

My experience with this law firm wasn’t the best. When I was ready to come to a settlement, the remainder of the money I had was immediately used to write up a 5 page settlement agreement (roughly $5,000). I felt egregiously over charged. Staff was nice, but it just felt a little slimy with how the money was handled on my case. Wouldn’t recommend them.

Kaylor and Jessica, I want to say I am so thankful for everything you guys have done for my family. My husband was innocently accused and Kaylor had to deal with us for almost 2 years. His patience, care, expertise, strategies and honesty saved us from the states corruption. Kaylor learned the ins and outs of our difficult case and wasn’t afraid to chew up the state, the detective, the doctors on our case who conspired against my husband. When it came time for trial, Kaylor was our voice and our teammate. Thank you so much. I could have been a single wife with 4 children to take care of by myself if it wasn’t for you guys. God bless you. May Jesus Christ use you as a vessel for far greater things!

Matthew kaylor is honestly the most knowledgeable attorney in Polk county. I was charged with a first degree child abuse case, was facing up to 30 years. I was innocently accused. Throughout the whole process kaylor and his staff always made sure to keep me informed and updated on anything new! We took it to trial and kaylor got me a not guilty verdict. My FAMILY and I Will always be grateful!

I just wanted to say thank you to Michelle, Diana, Mindy and even Tiffany (the bill collector) for the work you have done for me thus far in my case. I am a father fighting to regain custody and jurisdiction of my childeren after their mother left the state without consent and has been doing anything and everything to prevent me from being in their lives. Although this process has taken far longer than I would have ever expected, you guys have done a stand up Job for me even during my darkest days. Thank you for standing by me and my childeren and helping me to navigate this unknown world of family court. After my last court date with Michelle for jurisdiction and seeing how well prepared she was I have full confidence my childeren and I are being represented by the best. Mindy and Michelle thank you for helping me get through this last court date and always shooting me straight even when I feel uneasy. To anyone looking to hire real professionals in family law I highly recommend these ladies...you're going to have to dig deep in your pockets but they are worth it. I have confidence you will bring my babies home where they belong in Florida. Thank you ladies!

They say there are angels among us and I have found one in Ms. Ray. Her expertise in family law was impressive during our first meeting to file for divorce. Her advice in dealing with my individual situation was insightful and thorough. She guided me towards a resolution I was not considering at the time. Ms. Ray is not only an experienced and knowledgable attorney, she is compassionate and caring. You feel at ease the minute that you meet her. She will guide her clients to the best possible results for the best possible outcome. I have consulted with another family law attorney prior to my meeting with Ms. Ray who did not give me the detailed information that she provided. I highly recommend Ms. Ray; you will not regret the decision to retain her.

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.
