Would absolutely not recommend. My attorney was completely unprepared for a hearing, did not follow through with things (including not serving the divorce paperwork to ex-spouse for more than 3 weeks), would not return phone calls or email, and incorrectly billed me. Much of the information he gave me also turned out to be untrue and not current legal practice. I'm not entirely sure why this office keeps hounding me for a review, so I am posting my honest opinion so they will stop emailing me.

The Wright Family Law Group & Attorney David Eppley represented me during a guardianship case. My experience with the Wright Family Law Group & Mr. Eppley was great. From the beginning of the process the members of Wright Family Law Group were responsive and attentive to my request. Mr. Eppley took the time and explained the process to me in detail. He also gave me realistic expectations regarding the process and possible outcomes. He was compassionate and caring throughout our interactions and made me feel at ease during a very challenging experience. I would definitely recommend Wright Family Law Group as well Mr. Eppley for representation.

We are very grateful to have requested Chris services. We were dealing with a mediocre attorney and awful real state agent and Chris helped us to figure it out the whole issue. If we had met him before we would have hired him, now we know he will represent us in the future.

My mom and I worked with Rachel Silva and many members of the RFC Team in my mother’s divorce proceedings. From beginning to end, Rachel was kind, motivated and diligently worked on the case. She answered all of our questions and truly worked to make sure my mom’s needs were heard and honored. I will be recommending Rachel and the team to anyone who needs an attorney. Thank you!!

My attorney Kathryn Schwartzs showed a deep understanding of my personal situation during the difficult time of my divorce process. She also demonstrated deep concerns and empathy through the legal process. She was very knowledgeable,professional and reliable. She responds quickly to emails, phone calls and text messages. She is very attentive to my concerns. During my divorce process, I couldn’t have a better attorney than her to me she is a top notch attorney.
Best regards,

Susan helped vindicate me against very serious allegations. She was very patient and efficient. She used her experience to devise a strategic and effective defense. She also has the ability to be stern and/or charismatic at the appropriate times, which I found to be a great attribute for a lawyer needing to get thier point crossed in a tense courtroom.

I was represented by Susan for 2 cases. One in Boston and another in Quincy. Couldn’t have asked for better representation. Susan always kept me informed with what was going on, motions being filed, and how she saw the case going. I knew Susan was fighting for me and on my behalf. There was one example in I was summoned up to the bench by the judge so that I could hear what was being talked about between Susan, the judge, and the DA. I already knew she was fighting hard but being privy to that conversation I got to see just to what extent. I am extremely happy with my representation. Last thing anyone wants to feel is that they were improperly represented or that your attorney didn’t fight or do enough for you once everything is said and done and the case is finalized. I knew that everything possible was done for me and I am happy with the outcome of my cases. Without giving too many details about my situation, in both cases right after things were concluded employees at both courts had asked me who represented me because they were pretty impressed with the results given my charges. I was realistic and knew the possible outcomes about my situation. Nothing was sugar coated by Susan. She was always honest and upfront. Always replied to my texts. I don’t plan on ever needing an attorney again, but I know exactly who to call god forbidding a situation ever comes up again.

Susan is an exceptional attorney. She represented my brother in a highly complex case, and our family is incredibly grateful for her exceptional care and expertise. Susan achieved a favorable outcome for my brother's situation. She is easily accessible for communication, pays great attention to detail, and consistently advocates for people's rights. I highly recommend her!

Attorney Clement is a most excellent attorney in every aspect. He was there as agreed early in the morning in court driving a good distance. He had all the case & evidence well presented to the court already in such an outstanding amazing way that when it was the moment to present myself before the Judge I literally didn't even have a chance to say my name or good morning Your Honor because as I was ready to say my first word the Judge was already saying that the charges against me were dismissed and I was told to leave immediately I was free to go ! Thank God for Attorney Clement who in my book is the Best of The Best for it is hard to imagine how can a Defense Attorney do better than that ?

Meghan was a wonderful support and calming, steady presence during a very long and tumultuous divorce. Even when the other side would try to use threats or emotional scare tactics she stayed strong and professional, relying on facts and other cases to support our side. Knowing how many cases a lawyer can be working on at once I always appreciated how quickly she got back to me and followed through with everything. I would highly recommend Meghan to anyone that is looking for a competent and intelligent lawyer to have their back.

I sought assistance from Meghan Howard during a very stressful Landlord Tenant situation, one you would think would never occur when you are a good tenant and always paid your rent on time. Having never been through any sort of legal battle before, I was very stressed and scared. I consulted with Meghan and immediately she made us feel like we were in good hands. We were able to keep moving forward with our lives as she handled the difficulties of dealing with this landlord. She is prompt, courteous, professional,well educated, and I would highly advise keeping her for any needs that may arise that she specializes in! We would not hesitate to use her again, if the need ever arose!

A few words of advice: don't let Meghan's grace and warmth distract you from the fact that she delivers. She worked with my roommates and myself this past summer settling a dispute with our landlord, and despite the fact that we, the clients, had a tough time keeping a level head throughout the process (our living situation was quite literally on the line). Stakes were high, but Meghan never even seemed phased. Not in the face of our long, mutable lists of goals; not in the face of sudden panicked emails filled with questions; nothing we or our opposition did prevented her from taking all the time we needed to understand our situation and what the next best step would be. She honestly was like a guide and advocate through the whole process. I'm greatful we were able to work with her.

My husband and I had an incredible experience working with Matt when we bought our house and sold our condo. He was deeply knowledgeable in all facets of the process, helped us through a variety of hurdles we ran into along the way with patience and understanding, and was unfailingly kind throughout the entire experience. Should we ever choose to buy or sell again we would reach out to him in a heartbeat, and we recommend him and his firm without reservation.

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

Brian is incompetent. He should go back to doing finance. He has written on his website that he serves his clients interests rather than his own; however, he serves his own interests and then some. It is important for a lawyer and his/her client to have a strategy and not to have swirling drama, especially when the lawyer is representing the father as the father doesn't have the same privileges as the mother with the Boston courts. Brian had no strategy and provided no case law; but rather just his opinion. He took hours to review documents which should have taken 1/10th as long. He even charged me for withdrawing as my attorney. $3500 retainer at $350/hr resulted in no action items. If you want to waste your time and money Brian is a good choice. The bar is low with him.

One of the worst, if not the worst, law firms out there. They are extremely unprofessional and rude. The administrative assistants and front desk staff barely speak English, making communication very difficult. It seemed the only person fluent in English was the attorney himself.
They provided incomplete answers to my questions and could not give me clear information. Several times, their team hung up on me or sent me to voicemail. After multiple frustrating conversations with the paralegal and front desk staff, I decided to take my business elsewhere.
I do not recommend this place at all. Don’t waste your time or money.

Eles forneceram respostas incompletas às minhas perguntas e não puderam me fornecer informações claras. Várias vezes, a equipe deles desligou na minha cara ou me enviou para o correio de voz. Depois de várias conversas frustrantes com o paralegal e a equipe da recepção, decidi levar meu negócio para outro lugar.

We had a great experience with Kevin and Bia. We waited for almost 7 years for case processing at a different service with no progress. Fortunately, my workplace recommended Kevin, and it was one of the best decisions to have Kevin as my attorney. He is thorough, delicate, and well-prepared. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. Thanks to him, I now have a green card, and I'm able to visit my mom after 9 years waiting. Thank you!

Robert went out of his way to not represent me as a client. Yes I did retain him as counsel but he gave my leverage away in his first appearance stating "it's the best we can get." He then abandoned me on a Friday before our next Monday court date. Leaving me to find my present representation at the last minute.
Not only does he go out of his way to not work for your best intrests, he will work with the opposing parties to craft their language into your judgement.

I was at the end of the road with my immigration issue when i met Jennifer.No money,no job and no hope.After speaking with her for the first time,her reassurances and insight of immigration matters and processes gave me exactly what i needed-'HOPE'.
She dealt with my issues promptly and kept me updated every inch of the way.She would reply my messages and my emails would always end with a line or two sentences that assured me that no matter how long the night,the dawn will break.She is not just an attorney but a friend with a listening ear who is sincere and extremely thorough.
Jennifer's client service delivery is exceptional.I could not have wished for a better attorney and i highly recommend her to anyone who has the need for a super efficient and effective immigration attorney.

George rep. me on a 209A violation. We brought it to trial & his work was beyond impressive. His preparation into past case laws to diminish the charge was the caliber of extremely high intellect, insight, & experience. Not only is George a surgical legal mastermind, he also presents the grit & intestinal fortitude as a litigator. He's not afraid to take off the gloves when needed but in addition his knowledge and expertise of the law is second to none. I would recommend George in any criminal case.

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 had a bad experience with a tax preparer and needed to consult with a tax attorney to ask if I had any power over the situation. I was lucky to find Kristina on a Google search. She returned my call quickly and was able to provide clear and helpful insight. Kristina is clearly very knowledgeable on tax law and is aware of the individual tax payer's rights. Will be working with her again if I have any tax issues going forward.

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 .

Colleen helped me get custody of my son when he was 5 she would always return my calls in adequate timing even if she was working on something else. She fought for what was best for my child while making sure my rights were protected and upheld by the court of law. Colleen has gone above and beyond to make sure I understood everything that was going on every step of the way. I can’t speak highly enough of what Coleen and the firm has done for me. Even through the hardest times Colleen and her team has shown nothing but respect and professionalism while working on my case. My son is now 10 and we have a very happy life together to this day. And this may not have been the outcome if not for Colleen and her firm.

This is Attorney Lundy’s mantra... and truer words cannot be spoken! I was in a very difficult divorce involving complicated finances and a business. I originally chose a local lawyer, thinking this would make it easier. However, after 1.25 years and a last-minute cancellation 10 minutes prior to our 4-way, I had enough! I reached out to Sandra for help. She explained it was a bold move and that I should consider this change very carefully. This alone gave me the confidence I needed. When I met her in person, I was convinced she could help, and we immediately got to work. Sandra has a big heart but is tough as nails when justice is needed. She has an amazing resume, is skilled at understanding complex issues, and is outstanding at writing concise and powerful letters quickly. It became abundantly clear to the opposing council that we now had the upper hand in this case. To make a long story short, my former lawyer hoped to be able to reach an agreement by year-end, an additional 10 months' time after the 4-way setback. Sandra and I worked strategically together and got it done in 3 months! We ended up with a better ironclad agreement than I had expected. If you are lucky enough to have Attorney Lundy accept your case, please spare yourself some anguish and move forward with her. Through this difficult process, Sandy and I have become true friends, and I couldn't be more grateful.

I hired attorney Lundy for obtaining a restraining order. She was professional, prompt and well prepared for the hearings. She was easy to contact and accessible. Document exchange and payment is done easily through an online secured portal/personal profile making it easy to work with her.
She does charge full rate for travel time.

Our son lives with me now, Praise God.
My case was 4 years deep in family court at the time I started searching for another lawyer.
Sandy is knowledgeable and experienced in all the necessary areas to fight any family law case.
Sandy was dedicated, steadfast, and showed a great level of care for my situation. Sandy always had a back up plan, and able to formulate a plan if none existed given the rarity of my case. My case involved DOR, DCF, police reports, guardian ad -litem/psychologist.
My son had been frequently missing visits, Mother alleging issues of all types of child abuse, making multiple false claims to DCF. Also falsely claiming child support was not being paid. She constantly misled the court, refused to produce documents upon court order and lied to the court, even about where she lived; and then claimed she was not being served properly. She claimed to be living in poverty while driving a luxury vehicle and living in a luxury apartment building in downtown Boston. Despite 4 years of these ludicrous behaviors from the Mother, my voice alone in the court seemed to fall upon deaf ears, until I found Sandy. My case took many strange twists and turns with many ridiculous claims from Mother.
I did not see my son for almost two years. My son did not know he had a Father because of the psychological abuse he suffered.
Sandy was able to gain a voice in the courtroom, which could be heard by the judge, unlike myself. And, then things started to turn around.
We gained full legal and physical custody, and supervised parenting for Mom. My son can now get the psychological help he needs. Since being with me he has been able to learn to read/write and perform math, add/subtract, multiply, now learning division, none of which he could do prior to living with me.
Sandy is my court room version of Tom Brady.

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.
