Atty Matt Karr is excellent. He spent the time to understand our need for a credit bypass trust. He explained the process in clear declarative English rather than legalese. I feel that his fee was very reasonable. He supported his documents with a video explaining everything so that I could replay it if I had questions. We spoke to other lawyers that charged more and some that charged less. It is very hard to compare prices like buying a car. I recommend that you meet with Matt before selecting an attorney. BTW trusts are his specialty not just another work product.

We had an amazing experience working with Attorney Moris. I wish we had found him sooner, as he quickly identified mistakes and overlooked details from our previous attorney. He is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. Attn. Moris was patient with all of my questions and always focused on what was most important to our case. His professionalism and expertise made a challenging/stressful process much easier.

I had an exceptional experience with Rosanne during a very challenging time. She was outstanding throughout the entire process, consistently keeping me well-informed and making everything straightforward. She set realistic expectations from the start, which helped immensely in preparing me for what lay ahead. Her guidance was invaluable in navigating the complexities of my divorce, making a difficult situation as bearable as possible. Her professionalism and empathy are commendable, and I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone facing similar circumstances. While I hope not to need her services for the same reason again, I would definitely seek her expertise in any future legal matters.

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Halim Morris from Moreos & Oshea Law Firm for my green card process, and I cannot express enough gratitude for his exceptional service. The process took almost five years due to COVID delays and government backlogs. During this time, I had two babies who were added to the case, and Mr. Halim ensured everything was handled smoothly and efficiently.
From the beginning, Mr. Halim was incredibly supportive, managing all the paperwork with great care and professionalism. He stayed in constant touch, provided timely updates, and was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small. His dedication and attention to detail gave me immense peace of mind during such a long and complicated process.
Thanks to Mr. Halim’s outstanding work, I finally received my visa, reunited with my husband in the United States, and began a new chapter for my family. His personal touch and genuine care for his clients are unmatched—I truly felt welcomed, supported, and taken care of throughout the entire journey.
I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Halim Morris and Morris & Oshea Law Firm to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate legal assistance. You will not only get your work done efficiently but also feel supported every step of the way. Thank you, Mr. Halim, for going above and beyond to make this experience as smooth as possible!

Jolee, Alicia and the entire team was amazing throughout the entire divorce process. Granted, getting divorced sucked, but I always felt confident that I had the support and insights needed to make the best decisions possible every step of the way.
Hopefully I will never need to their services again, but I highly recommend the firm to anyone starting their divorce journey!

Jolee is one of the most amazing women I've ever met with, a heart of gold on a mission to serve women in the highest way, in some of their most vulnerable times during divorce and after. Jolee is warm, empathetic, heart-centered and highly skilled and I cannot recommend turning to FFL if you are in need!

I am incredibly grateful to have had Marc represent me in a highly contentious custody case that resulted in a life-changing outcome. What began as a custody case quickly evolved into a complex, multi-day trial with my ex-wife filing for permanent removal from Massachusetts and multiple states being involved.
With Marc’s representation, I was awarded full physical custody and final decision-making authority in legal matters concerning my Child. Prior to Marc taking my case, I had no custodial rights over my daughter and no guaranteed visitation schedule. My case was far from an easy one as I felt like my rights as a father had been completely given up.
Marc demonstrated unparalleled expertise in probate law throughout the entire process. He meticulously prepared my case, reviewed the history, and presented it compellingly in court. His knowledge of family law and probate procedures was evident in every strategy and argument presented. Marc’s intimate knowledge of the probate courts in Massachusetts and his focus on the legal facts were key to the outcome of my case.
Marc’s dedication and personal investment in my case were clearly evident from the beginning. He took the time to understand the nuances of my situation, showing genuine empathy and support. Marc was readily available throughout the process and always kept me informed and answered the multitude of questions I had throughout the case.
Marc’s communication was always clear and realistic throughout the process. Marc provides honest assessments of what can be hoped for in a case and appreciates the entirety of a situation. I never felt like Marc was exaggerating the prospects of a potential outcome; his immediate honesty surrounding the difficulty of my case was reassuring to hear as I understood what I was seeking for an outcome. His ability to break down the complex legal terminology into relevant ideas and the core components allowed me to better understand what was happening throughout the process. His communication was clear and reassuring, keeping me informed and involved at every stage of the proceedings.
Thanks to Marc’s representation and commitment, I now have the opportunity to provide a stable and loving environment for my daughter. I cannot recommend Marc highly enough to anyone facing similar challenges in probate court. He is not just a lawyer but a true advocate for his clients who displays a genuine care about you and your family.

I hired him for a consultation and it was the best time and money I have ever spent. What a wonderful lawyer and wonderful human being. And I'm very experienced at meeting many lawyers through my parents divorce, as they filed for divorce while I was in my 20s, and they were in their 60s. I'm so gladI found Rob, because there are a lot of people you cannot trust in this field. My mother's lawyer was a family family lawyer just like Rob, but my mother ended up getting overcharged for little to no results. After 35 years of marriage, its tragic, my dad has had a $250k a year salary for a long time that has only gone up for 30 years. But my mother ended up without her basic needs taken care of. If only we knew Rob back then.
I consulted with Rob on a case regarding my daughter and got more crucial information in 2 hours than a lifetime with any other family lawyer I have used.
I'm a father and if you love you kids and find yourself in need of a lawyer, this is the man to go to. Life is too short and money too important to waste trying to find a good lawyer through trial and error when Rob is right here, if you're reading this you have the scoop on the best Lawyer in Town! It's Rob Luber!

Baron Law was so easy to work with! They are kind, patient, and they took their time explaining/translating legalese in a way that resonates with the normal person. I would highly recommend them for any type of legal council needed.
P.S. - their Golden-Doodle was adorable too!

Attry Angela Cavanaugh is extremely professional under the truncated timetable delivered extraordinary testimony with literally less than 24 hours given unfortunate circumstances for me to provide evidence and that amount of time. Her testimony and cross-examination was something you could write a book about literally. If you ever have a scenario we'll get an unfortunate mess, you cannot go wrong with this law firm as a whole and or attorney Cavanaugh. Thanks

Atty. Burke was from the moment we met absolutely professional and showed me a high level of security and empathy like I never experienced before. I had gone through two other local attorneys neither of which did anything for me. Atty. Burke was able to handle my case with optimism and such respect. His dedication and determination were clear to me. He was always honest, something I appreciated very much. He explained every single step we would take and recommended nothing but the best advices which helped our case land a positive outcome for me and my family. He was very knowledgeable and helped me win my case. I will forever be grateful for all his hard work and support at such difficult times. I recommend Brian as your family attorney 100%.

Colleen helped us when we bought our 1st home in 2020. We highly recommend her law firm . We knew nothing about house buying and she is highly knowledgeable in all aspects of it . Colleen kept us in the correct price point (even when I wanted to go in another direction). She sent us homes that she knew we would want to look at . The communication was clear & she helped us with even connecting with a mortgage person . She went above and beyond . We highly recommend her for any one looking for an honest realtor who has your best interest in mind .

I contacted Attorney Karpf after my initial lawyer withdrew due to my inability to pay mounting legal fees. I was in the middle of a highly contested divorce and only three weeks away from my Pre-Trial hearing—a very stressful and uncertain time.
Attorney Karpf took the time to thoroughly review my case and provide valuable advice and consulting services, even though I was unable to retain him as my primary attorney for financial reasons. His expertise and guidance were instrumental in helping me navigate the complexities of my case until its resolution.
What also stood out was the level of communication. Attorney Karpf promptly and thoughtfully addressed all my urgent concerns, providing clear and practical solutions. His professionalism, deep knowledge of family law, and ethical approach gave me a sense of reassurance during one of the most difficult times in my life.
Finally, and I have to mention it because it is important in a divorce, Attorney Karpf's fees were clear, honest, and affordable, which is not always easy to find in such a contentious and highly emotionally charged process.
My only regret is not meeting Attorney Karpf from the very beginning of my divorce proceedings. I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of a skilled and principled family law attorney.

Lawyer was great
But fair warning, they will keep taking money from you after all of your invoices are paid and they will completely ghost you. Use a card ONLY to set up payments. One you can cancel.
In response to the response from Turco: You are correct, I did not engage you so all payments to the firm you subsumed in my name should have ended especially when my invoices were paid in full. They did not and money was taken from my account without a contract. Interestingly, I got a refund after posting this review so my advice stands. Make sure to put a payment on file you can dispute. Thank you.

I first reached out to Nicole in 2007 and have entrusted her with my legal needs since. Most recently, I recommended her to a friend that was in need of Will and other document preparation. Leslie LaFlamme responded to our request for this very quickly and shepherded the process with knowledge, understanding, and support prior to my friend's meeting with Nicole. Not only did we appreciate how expeditiously this was all handled, but we particularly appreciate the kindness and empathy displayed during a trying time.

Where others clients are saying Sam will do what she needs to and takes it to the next level, they aren’t lying. Sam has done exactly that and told my ex husband to change his child support without a modification. He is currently in arrears because Sam tells him it is okay. She thinks she is above the law. As long as it is money in her pocket, she will do anything, even screwing over her own clients.

Putting together an estate plan had been on our to do list for years, and when we finally began to check it off, we chose Rebecca Green Neale and couldn’t be happier with our choice. Not only was she more affordable than the other two family estate planning firms we consulted with, but she walked us through the nuances of writing a will and developing trusts that were unaware of. The entire process was efficient and seamless.

I cannot recommend Jenna Bergeron enough! I originally booked a consultation with her because I was having significant trouble with my current attorney. Jenna went above and beyond—she didn’t have to assist me, but she took the time to walk me through the system and ensure all the necessary paperwork was filed correctly. Her professionalism, kindness, and genuine care stood out immediately.
Even after our consultation, Jenna has continued to follow up and ensure everything was addressed. She truly cares about her clients and their situations, and her support has been invaluable. If you need a family law attorney who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated, Jenna is the one to call.

Mr. Sawin helped me during a particularly stressful time when my divorce agreement and child support were being modified. He was very straightforward and responsive. His office staff and junior attorneys were kind and helpful. There were multiple challenges related to my case, including Covid-19. At the end of it all, I had the result that I wanted. I am very grateful for the peace of mind that I had knowing that he was representing my interests throughout an emotionally trying time. I will also add that choosing him to represent me for the modification was one of the best decisions that I made - I believe having a strong advocate with experience in the local courts allowed for a quick resolution.

I had an extremely difficult and complicated family law case, that had preceded Cal by several years, and resulted In a devastating verdict in another state. This decision would take a miracle to change, and had a severe impact on myself and my children. In steps Calvin…. He fought so hard for my family. I come from a family of litigators and I can confidently say that Calvin is the best litigator that I have ever seen. He was kind, compassionate, available, and took on a case that seemed hopeless. The decision from the other state was reversed and it is all thanks to this powerhouse of a litigator. I’m just so grateful!

As a former client of Attorney Heinle, this exceptional divorce attorney, I am thrilled to share my experience with others who may be in need of competent and compassionate legal representation. Here are some key highlights of my experience:
Exceptional efficiency: Attorney Heinle was extremely efficient in handling my case, which helped keep my costs down while ensuring that everything was done in a timely manner.
Attorney Heinle swiftly recognized the tactics employed by the opposing counsel to prolong the legal proceedings and inflate their billing. Additionally, Attorney Heinle skillfully avoided unproductive conversations that solely aimed to escalate attorney fees.
Strategic approach: He took a strategic approach to my case, which resulted in a favorable outcome that exceeded my expectations.
Clear communication: He was always available to answer my questions and provide clear guidance on the legal process, which helped me feel informed and in control throughout the entire proceedings.
Genuine care: His empathy and genuine care for me as a person, not just as a client, made the entire process less daunting and overwhelming.
Unmatched legal expertise: His extensive knowledge and expertise in family law was evident in every aspect of my case, from negotiations to courtroom proceedings.
Overall, I highly recommend Attorney Heinle to anyone facing a difficult divorce. His exceptional efficiency, strategic approach, clear communication, genuine care, and unmatched legal expertise are unparalleled.
Thank you for everything you did for me! My only wish is that I found you sooner and did not have to waste so much time and money on my first attorney that always seemed more interested in running up the bill instead of resolving the matter in a timely manner.

Attorney Massaro was a tremendous help to me this month with a very contentious child custody case vs. My son's Mother. She got the situation resolved to my liking very quickly and efficiently, despite the opposition's flair for invented drama and false statements. Truthfully, most lawyers don't take on contentious case like mine in short notice but Attorney Massaro is on top of her game and went above and beyond. I highly recommend.

Attorney Chris agreed to take on my case partway through my divorce. She walked into what I knew was going to be a challenging divorce with many complexities. I honestly thought there was no hope. I felt beyond helpless trying to pull my kids and myself out of an unfair situation that was only getting worse by the day. Immediately after having the first meeting with Attorney Chris, I felt a sense of hope and ease. I knew instantly that I was in great hands.
Her ability to navigate and handle the complexities of my divorce was impeccable. With my ex-husband's highly dishonest, unfair, and intimidating acts and tactics, she was able to set the record straight and make it right. She was fierce when she needed to be and didn't hold back, SHE PUT THE 3 LAWYERS MY EX- HUSBAND HAD TO SHAME! Attorney Chris is fearless, she was not intimidated by anyone or any given situation that came her way. She is very knowledgeable with the law, and not once did she back down or settle for anything less than what I was entitled to. She fights for what's right!
Attorney Chris treated me with the utmost level of respect and sensitivity throughout the whole process. She was a great support system and a great friend. I appreciated the many times she was always there when I needed to reach out to her for any questions, guidance, advice, or just to have "that support" through an extremely difficult time. She was there every time, I never once felt like I was a bother to her and she always responded in a timely manner. Attorney Chris's outstanding dedication, expertise, knowledge of the laws, strategic thinking, professionalism, and fearlessness proved to achieve an outstanding positive outcome in my divorce. She is solely why I was able to pull my kids and myself back above water and put an end to an abusive, intimidating, unfair, and dishonest marriage. I can't thank her enough for putting us on a path of healing, a path to recovery, and a path to a better life!!
We thank you immensely Chris for all of your hard work, kindness, and dedication throughout this whole process!!

I hired attorney Carima to handle my case. She was great. Christine is very knowledgeable was always professional and prepared. I know nothing about divorce and was scared and upset. She id very easy to talk to and calmed me down; answered all my questions. She got me the best outcome that I could have asked for. I have children and she explained that throughout life, as the needs of the kids and myself change, there may come a time to modify my divorce. I will be calling her again to handle that. I will be hiring her to take care of a civil matter as well. She also handles civil matters.

Michael Reinhardt is a fantastic attorney to whom I will be forever grateful. He is friendly, caring, capable and experienced. I messed up badly several year’s ago and was caught red-handed, in the act. I was arrested, jailed, and charged with a felony criminal offense that carried a mandatory minimum sentence of eighteen months imprisonment. The outcome - guilty - seemed inevitable, and I dreaded the consequences. Michael Reinhardt represented me during the many court appearances I had to make. He explained the various stages of the judicial proceedings, and contacted me regularly to discuss progress and the strategy he was following to best defend me.
Remarkably, after much consultation and discussions, Michael managed to have the charges against me dropped altogether - to my immense relief of not just me, but my entire family, all of whom had been living under a cloud of anxiety. I cannot thank Michael enough for literally giving me back my life. I’ve changed a lot since then and intend to stay far away from trouble in the future. Although I hope not to need Michael’s help in the same way again, I know who to call if ever I do!

He truly understand the psychopathology of narcissists and how to effectively navigate them in court. He fights the good fight, and I am so lucky to have found him.

Many legal cases, especially those involving 15 years! of retroactive child support can be daunting to say the least. And having Five, yes Five (5), previous attorney's over all these years NOT being able to get the job done has been very disillusioning and disheartening. However, Attorney Jason V. Owens without hesitation took intelligent command of what appeared to be a "lost" cause and quickly re-esatablished the legal legitimacy and worthiness of my child support case with clear, concise direction. And along the way, his integrity and dedication to all aspects of the case, including those very human elements many clients bare on their sleeves, have been nothing short of sincere, purposeful and committed.
It is not easy to entrust an attorney with such an important issue as child support which clearly affects your child's everyday quality of life. Yet, Attorney Owens has restored my faith and trust not only in the process, but in having an attorney who protects your and your family's best interests. I have found Attorney Owens to be open, receptive, communicative, respectful and willing to partner in a team effort to acheive what is fair and deserved. Of equal importance to the law, I have found that Attorney Owens' vast experience, knowledge, and grasp of adjunct areas in business and finance have also had a tremendous positive impact on his ability to quickly assess and discern all the angles of my case. Truly, the total package!
Without hesitation, I sincerely recommend Attorney Owens!

Kathleen was great and fought for me every step of the way. I was left in a terrible spot financially and had an uphill battle of fighting against a prenuptial agreement. We settled with an outcome where I could continue to afford living on cape cod. I also was able to get 50/50 custody of my child. Something I was worried I wouldn't get. I've dealt with some health issues which can limit my ability to work full time and she was able to use those facts to ensure I was still able to pay my bills and take care of my child even with those setbacks. She was there to make sure I'd keep my emotions in check. She was always the adult in the room. I appreciated that because it was the hardest thing I've had to go through. Having someone fight for you when you're feeling vulnerable was really helpful.

Put so much work and time to get my ex husband to cooperate, because he was really trying to drag our divorce as much as he could .
Kathleen was my attorney but put so much effort and patience into making sure my ex husband filled out and signed all paperwork.
Communication was very well, great mediation skills and cost was affordable and reasonable , not to mention determined to get the process done in a timely manner .
I definitely couldn’t do it without her !

Attorney Monquie Lamb is an absolute lifesaver! After years of navigating a complex custody battle with multiple ineffective attorneys, I finally found the legal representation I needed. Attorney Lamb is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in family law, and she has been instrumental in helping me dismiss all opposing parties' motions. Her dedication to her clients is unmatched, and she's not afraid to hold you accountable when necessary. I appreciate her honest and straightforward approach. As a single mother of three, I was concerned about legal fees, but Ms. Lamb's rates are reasonable and have been well worth the investment. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone facing a challenging custody case.

The Law Office of Thomas J. Taranto, P.C. efficiently handled my difficult divorce case, despite having an uncooperative spouse. Tom was professional, creative, and adaptable throughout the process, pivoting when necessary to bring my case to a quicker resolution. This not only saved me time but also reduced my legal fees. While his services were more expensive upfront, the quality of work and the money saved in the long run made it worthwhile. I highly recommend Tom for anyone seeking a dedicated and effective attorney who truly looks out for their clients’ best interests.

The best attorney ever. I went through two other attorneys whose rating was above 9 out of 10 and they messed up my case. Thomas stood up for me and helped me get my rights. Thomas tracked all the money my ex husband was hiding and helped me get my share of it and also did a 10 hour deposition which showed the judge that he is a liar. Thomas is nice, attends your phone call right away, even on weekends, always on time, hard working, responds to text messages right away. He is very skilled in performing deposition and tracking down money. The only reason I was able to get my rights and my share for marital assets was because of his hard work and honesty. Best best best attorney ever.

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.
