Kyra, and her team, helped me after my automobile accident and they were amazing to work with! Everyone in her office is extremely friendly and knowledgeable and explained every step throughout the process. She truly advocated for me and I highly recommend Kyra if you ever experience a personal injury!

Kyra's definitely my new go-to attorney. She's very personable and takes her job dead serious. Communication was lacking in the early stages of my case when it was being managed by another lady in the office, but as soon as it got to a point where Kyra took over, she was on top of things. I think part of my frustration was not being familiar with the process and not fully understanding just how long negotiations take. In the end, though, my final settlement was a bit more than she estimated in the beginning, which was fantastic! I will absolutely call her again if I ever need to.

If there were a 0 star option I would have chosen it. This woman actually hurt my case. My second lawyer even said this. If I had known her advice was bad I’d have gone elsewhere. But I didn’t. This woman belittled me. Appointments with her were a waste she was so disorganized and took phone calls that weren’t even urgent while “working” with me. (Taking calls from people inquiring about issues that weren’t her clients). Then when I asked what to do about something she belittled me and didn’t even help. When she realized she didn’t turn off voice to text in an email reply —and sent me an ugly e-mail, and I called her out on it for saying what she did and then not helping me she had me come to her office. She wanted to save face and said a bunch of bull to protect her image but did nothing for my case. She had me schedule a time to come back. When I came back for my appointment she sat in the parking lot on her phone. I waited 45 min and left. Never even got a call back from her. I did speak to the office staff and they said it was an emergency. If it was, she would have called me back. That’s the way she operates.
She likes to preach about God and push you to go to church. Even HER church. Maybe that’s what you have to do for her to work for you. I dunno. I hope you read this Tempie I can back up everything I said with proof.

I am beyond impressed and fortunate to have come across Sanders Law Firm on Google. Ron is truly one-of-a-kind. He has provided my boyfriend and me with more advice than anyone else we spoke to regarding a child custody issue. Remarkably, Ron was the only lawyer who answered over 20 calls I made during a holiday weekend for an emergency.
Ron is thorough, concise, and very understanding. He offered a plethora of resources to help get us started in the right direction. I am confident that hiring Ron or his daughter for your case will significantly increase your chances of winning.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Ron. His great advice, willingness to help, and consistent follow-up make you feel like your case is his top priority. He is exceptionally dedicated, and I highly recommend Sanders Law Firm.

When you usually call a business and they do not answer and you hang up, they won’t callback unless you leave a voicemail. But Mr. Sanders did. He called me back and QUICK. He thoughtfully listened to my problem and gave me amazing FREE legal advice. The respect he gave me as a client was amazing to me. Definitely recommend him if you are in a situation where you would need legal help of knowing what to do about a field of situation you know nothing about.

I wouldn’t go to her. She hates men deeply and her judgement is clouded with her own hate for men and she takes it out on your soon-to-be ex husband. This means she doesn’t put your interests before her own. This will cost you and your children. Money out of your hands is money out of their mouths.
I paid for a Post Nuptial and she never provided it to me or return my calls because I stayed with my husband when he went on hospice. Without the Post Nuptial, I lost everything.
She also said Russell Dave’s played “fast and loose” and couldn’t be trusted. It turns out that Russell Dave’s was the best attorney we ever hired. He represented us in many matters and even gave us his personal cell phone and stayed in contact with us when he was on a cruise to Alaska. He saved us a house and an unlawful Lis Pendence (sp?) placed in one of our houses by a shady Lubbock law firm. We even kept Mr Daves when we moved to San Antonio. Too bad he is retired. He practiced law, not politics.
Dannie Botros is good and tough, but truly doesn’t put clients first, in my strong opinion. Evidently her ex husband did her wrong. You’ll pay to hear that bitter story, too.

I had Sara Moore as my attorney and she was a badass. She was on everything from day one for my divorce. So when I needed to do a modification for custody of my kids, I went back to her. Unfortunately, she retired before we could get to cost and have my case over to Solorzano. I had no problem since I thought since Sara trusted him with her case load, I should too. Big mistake. I won't get into everything that this law firm stopped the ball on, which there was several, he never fought hard to get me any type of hearing for my case. I never knew what was going on, and every time I had a meeting with him I had to refresh him on the case. I'm not a lawyer but the case was strong in my favor, and because he allowed it to go stagnant I am now at the point where I'm just hoping to get any kind of hearing so I can go ahead and appeal and change jurisdiction.

I called and spoke to Mr. Solorzano about an issue i had and he explained to me to start the process he needed 3k down i agreed. He said he needed a couple days to do a contract i agreed. 1 week passed no call from Mr. Solorzano. I called and I would leave voice-mails no call back. I called after 2 weeks again and I was told I needed 5k down per Mr Solorzano i declined. They can't even answer the phone or call back why would I agree to more money plus there customer service is terrible. Do your research before hiring this man.

I used Brandon Callahan for a matter involving a company using my credit for a sizeable loan without my knowledge. Brandon was nothing short of awesome! He put me at ease during the year long process to get the matter corrected. He was knowledgeable, professional and prompt with responses in keeping me updated on the case. I would recommend him time and time again! Thanks Brandon!

I hired him to help me on a protective order case and he was the WORST at returning calls, when he called me back after months you could hear it in his voice he didn’t care nor wanted to deal with the case and was always frustrated. Instead of fighting the protective order he just settled for whatever the court offered me. He eve told me he wasn’t interested in dealing with my case anymore AFTER he told me previously he would take it. All around he is a HORRIBLE attorney for family cases.

Few of us really look forward to deal with a law situation. When I began to look for a lawyer, I knew that I wanted someone who would understand the importance of my relationship with parties invloved in the case and Charles is compassionate about his clients and cases. From my first meeting with Charles, my confidence regarding my tricky case grew enormously. . Charles has a deep knowledge of the law, and of human nature generally. Charles is a lawyer who is doing this work for the right reasons, and truly cares about making sure that his clients get the most fair and best possible outcome from the court. I highly recommend Charles Chambers, Attorney at Law, and am extremely pleased with the work that he has done on my case and am confident we will have the outcome we are fighting for, just like the many cases that Family and Friends have hired him on, truly an amazing lawyer

I wish I could forget his name for the rest of my life. After going to court, and not winning, he did not have the nerve to even call me and tell me that we did not win the case. He had his secretary call me and do that part. Bill gave me some of the worst advice during the case and looking back, I wish I would have listened to my friends and family about him thousands of dollars later. I ended up hiring a lawyer out of Amarillo to fix as much of the damage that he caused, which was life-changing. Stay far away from this guy. There are plenty of other lawyers in Lubbock.

We paid $250.00 to get laughed at and told we were lucky we got what we got? Our grand daughter now gets to suffer court ordered mental abuse and yet another Lubbock lawyer keeps his friendship with the self proclaimed gods among men aka judges. Best interest of the child,,,I didnt wait to hear the excuse of his definition. I could have wasted $250.00 in so many better ways.

I'm not sure how Bill ranks in expense vs. other lawyers. Divorce is expensive, but it pays to have the best on your side. Bill and his staff took very good care of my needs and I got the result I wanted. He is honest and will tell you the hard truth about your situation. Never the less he will fight hard for you in court. He is very organized and comes fully prepared to argue your case. I would look no further and would certainly use this firm again if the needed, hopefully not needed.

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.
