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!

Marcus is definitely the best lawyer you can find for custody disputes. From day one, he was extremely patient, understanding and thoughtful. Always 10 steps ahead of opposing counsel and will fight for the wellbeing of your child. He takes his job very seriously and puts a lot of thought into each move he makes. You can even reach him at any time, including nights and weekends, if you have a pressing question to ask him. He even took the time to handle my case while he was on vacation. What other lawyer does that? None. Truly, the best attorney to have on your side.

I wish I could rate 6 stars. Throughout my disablity applicaiton process, they fought for my case, including helping through a move across the country AND the disability office losing my application.
Extremely responsive, kind, and open about the entire disability process.
Seriously, absolutely amazing group of people!

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Austin Mutnansky for his exceptional work on my child custody case. Navigating the complexities of family court can be incredibly challenging, but having Mr. Mutnansky by my side made all the difference. From our very first consultation, I was impressed by his professionalism and dedication. He took the time to listen to my concerns and provided clear guidance throughout the entire process. His expertise in family law was evident, and he always made me feel like my case was his top priority. What stood out to me most was Mr. Mutnansky's unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for my family. He never gave up, even when faced with obstacles, and his determination provided me with the confidence I needed during a difficult time. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Austin Mutnansky and the team at Liebenhaut Law to anyone facing family court issues. You can trust that you will receive compassionate, professional, and effective representation. Thank you again, Mr. Mutnansky, for your hard work and support. You truly made a difference in my life!

John Long came extremely highly recommended as the divorce attorney to use in SWFL by other family law attorneys in Tampa. John and his team did not disappoint. They were able to work with me through what was a very contentious divorce and help de-escalate several situations as they arose. John and Patty were always very responsive and offered guidance throughout the process. John has been incredibly knowledgeable from the beginning and set realistic legal expectations of the outcome. Because of their representation and professionalism, I was able to navigate the difficult and emotionally charged process and at the end feel as if my integrity is still intact.

John Long, Jennifer DeVries and the entire team at Long & Associates PA have been of tremendous support and help to coach me through a rather lengthy and difficult divorce process, including one full-day mediation. Their professionalism and knowledge were unsurpassed, and their proactive measures, insight in rights I was unaware of and also their emotional support meant the world to me. I knew I could trust them, count on their support every step of the way! During these difficult times I felt like being able to turn to true friends guiding me along the path. I will forever be grateful to them, and I can only recommend them to anybody who needs professional, high quality and proactive representation. John Long and his team worked hard to pave my path as I walked on it in the most reliable manner.

Michael Rebuck is essentially everything you could ask for in an attorney and then some. His assistant Christina also couldn't be more helpful in getting information and assisting as well. If you are looking for an attorney for family law, there is no reason to look further, he is simply the best you will find. I known Mr. Rebuck going on 10 years and he’s assisted on several complicated cases on my behalf. The outcome of those cases have been nothing short of remarkable due to his relentlessness and dedication to his craft. He is a shark in the court room in every sense of the word. On a personal level you also won’t find anyone that genuinely cares more about your personal situation and the outcome of your case. His communication along the way is nothing short of spectacular, as there hasn’t been one incidence in where I was concerned about a specific issue, and wasn’t able to get direct answer immediately. I am beyond grateful I made the decision to retain Michael going back 10 years and to this day.

Michael made my divorce experience a breeze!! He is very knowledgeable, I had a unique situation dealing with my ex being out of the country and he handled everything. I loved not having to worry about what the next step was or having to figure out anything for myself. The outcome was exactly as expected without much hassle and Michael was patient in making sure I understood everything completely. I would recommend him a thousand times over for sure!

~ The entire team at Jennifer Dane Law Firm work like a well-oiled machine. Empathy for your situation, attentiveness and professionalism are top tier here. The timeliness of their responses when you have a question is definitely a 10/10. Working with Attorney Dane felt very comforting and at ease. I'm just glad offices with an attorney and staff like hers still exist. Sometimes businesses can get so big that they focus on quantity vs quality. I can definitely say that is not the case here. They actually care. Thank you for your representation, Attorney Dane and all of your help Michelle with all the fine details from the initial filing to finish in order to wrap up my case fast and seamlessly. ~

I really needed an attorney who was going to advocate for me and my daughter. Instead, Cheri guided me through the court process and helped me create a parenting plan with my narcissistic, psychopathic ex. This is obviously a routine thing, but I needed other options to protect my daughter and myself from repeat abuse. We’re currently in an abusive situation after Cheri has settled all matters and filed for completion of services; along with, ignoring my email requesting legal guidance.

Attorney Scott has years of experience and is very knowledgeable in Florida Family Law. She will explain every step with great detail and will make sure you understand the process. A divorce proceeding, a modification of timesharing, or any other family legal proceeding puts you in great stress and makes you feel lost at the beginning, but attorney Scott lifts that weight off your shoulders and guides you in the best direction possible so you can get your life back on tack.

We recently worked with Trust Counsel, PL, on drafting our family trust, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Alejandro and Willy were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and patient from the initial consultation to the final signing. They took the time to understand our specific needs and concerns, explaining complex legal concepts clearly and easily. We felt honestly heard and valued throughout the entire process. The resulting trust document is comprehensive and well-crafted, giving us real peace of mind knowing our family's future is secure. We highly recommend Leslie Marenco’s Trust Counsel, PL, and her team to anyone seeking top-notch estate planning services.

If you want an attorney that doesn't give you any legal advice or do anything you ask him to do legally then Zach Alfant is your man! He is the worst lawyer you could ever hope to get for $10,000 in a divorce case. God bless your soul if you made the same mistake I did in hiring him. My advice would be to cut the cord before he does more damage to you than stealing your money! Just so you know I had to put 1 star in order to make the post!

Ron was Amazing! He was confident immediately from the first interaction that he could take on the case. Ron was very upfront and told us how he would handle the case. My case was unique because I was convicted by the military court system, and it occurred outside of Florida. His great communication skills were able to clearly convey complex legal concepts to prosecutor and judge. This has never happened where the prosecutor agreed , and we were able to get it done without a hearing. The judge had issued an order granting my petition for removal from Florida's sex offender registry. This was under two months since hiring him. Thank You Ron. You're the Best!

Gena and Kathryn were amazing throughout my divorce. I didn’t want to ‘take my ex to the cleaners’ but did want to make sure I’d have a roof over my head and be able to continue to afford it. Gena made all that happen! She is very down to earth, an amazing listener, and an honest, straight shooter. She definitely came through for me but also kept my expectations real. I hope you don’t never need a family attorney, but if you do, Gena is your best bet!

Attorney Malenfant was a absolute joy to work with during these trying times. He worked diligently through my case and was on top of everything in the most efficient manner. His paralegal Lindsey was a absolute joy as well. She ensured that I was kept up to date on any proceedings and assisted me with anything that I was not understanding. If she didn't know the answer she ensured that she either got the answer quickly or had Attorney Malenfant reach out to me to answer my question. I hope I never have to go through a Family law matter again but if I do I will absolutely be reaching out to Attorney Malenfant and Lindsey.

First of all, I had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Hunter. After extensive research and considering many options, I ultimately chose her, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. No one ever knows what to expect in situations like this, and my emotions were running high, as I’m sure anyone reading this review can relate to.
Mrs. Hunter tailors her approach to fit each unique situation. I initially thought I needed a super aggressive attorney, but I quickly realized that Mrs. Hunter's well-established relationships with other attorneys in the Tampa Bay Area made all the difference. Let’s face it, divorce is incredibly challenging, but it doesn’t have to be unbearable when you have a skilled attorney who keeps you out of court, helps you stay levelheaded, and is mindful of your finances.
I have come to believe that Mrs. Hunter has been in this field long enough to prioritize her clients’ best interests over simply making money. She genuinely cares about her clients and focuses on achieving the best financial and logical outcomes. In my experience, she values great word-of-mouth referrals over the “smash and grab” approach that many other attorneys adopt.
Hands down, I give Mrs. Hunter and her top-notch staff and partnered attorneys five stars all 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.
