Working with Don Burnett was a great choice. Don and team helped me navigate through the process and provided sound advice every step of the way. Don made sure I fully understood the process and timelines and he was absolute spot on. Don worked aggressively with the insurance company, and medical providers to settle our accident injury claim. Great communication every step of the way. I highly recommend Burnett Law Group for your legal needs.

Tom Burnett and his team exceeded my expectations, not just because of the experience itself, but also because they were able to fight for the best solution possible. They were communicative, they were always available for questions and the return time of a response was very quick! They were always there when I needed them and I will absolutely use them again in the future if ever needed.

I highly recommend Ms. Schmaltz! In an extremely emotional and challenging time she was excellent at working through the necessary steps and helped me immensely when further circumstances made my situation even more tramatic. She always kept me aware of where we were in my divorce process and was always available to answer my questions or simply lend an ear of support in a very trying time. She and her office staff were professional, caring and served in my best interest at all times. I would definitely recommend this team to anyone needing a divorce lawyer!! Thanks Jane and staff for getting me through to the other side!!!

My wife and I hired Ms. Schmaltz to assist us with an animal law case. We are dog breeders located in Washington State and one of our puppies was stolen from us and sold to a person in Arizona. Ms. Schmaltz was exceptionally easy to work with remotely and she helped us to come to a mutually acceptable settlement with the Arizona family. She is knowledgeable and professional and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking an animal law attorney in Arizona.

Twice now I have had the pleasure of working with Ms. Bernabe-Rice and her paralegal, Jenna, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with their services. Ms. Bernabe-Rice exemplifies professionalism in every aspect of her work. She is knowledgeable, attentive, and always made me feel like a priority. Her expertise and dedication were evident throughout my case, and I felt confident knowing I was in capable hands.
Additionally, Jenna’s punctuality and efficiency were remarkable. She ensured that all documents were prepared and submitted on time, which greatly alleviated my stress. Her attention to detail and prompt responses to my inquiries were much appreciated.
Together, Ms. Bernabe-Rice and Jenna make an exceptional team. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal assistance.

“Divorce is not a pleasant experience under any circumstances. At first, there is a period of disbelief and having to admit to yourself that your marriage is over. For me personally, the beginning of the end was the hardest to deal with. When I finally realized my marriage was over and I needed a competent legal team to look out for my interests and the interests of my children, attorney Tim Durkin and his team stepped up and went to work on my behalf. From start to finish, Tim and everyone at JacksonWhite were awesome to deal with. Not only did Tim and the firm provide me with excellent legal services, but they were also compassionate, understanding and supportive of me and what I was going through. This was the worst experience of my life thus far and because of the basic humanity and human compassion of my legal team, it made it easier to deal with and move on with my life, post-marriage. In the court room, I could not have picked more competent counsel. I prevailed in all proceedings and under the circumstances, my case was settled with a very favorable outcome! Tim and his team did an awesome job and I can't thank them enough for not only providing me with outstanding legal representation, but also helping me get through a very difficult time on a personal level.”

I met with Tim yesterday for my consult and hired him right away! He really cared about the best interest of my children and he was honest and helpful. He knows what he's doing and is very experienced and knowledgeable about family law and everything related to it. My cousin also used Tim and he got him everything he wanted plus more. I know I'll be in good hands with Tim. You should hire him and look no further!

Jami did exactly what she set out to do, she even threw in some extra assistance I wasn’t expecting, but greatly appreciated!! Anytime I had questions or needed a conversation, Jami & her assistant were prompt with replies and assistance. From the consultation regarding my dismissal of a protection order, to the positive outcome of my hearing, I’ve been nothing but pleased with Jami’s work! If ever I’m in need of an attorney in the future, Jami will surely be my go to! I’ll be singing her praises for years to come!!

When my case started, I was in a terrible place. My son was being abused and his father was blocking me from getting him medical care and mental health treatment from my husbands abusive behavior and alcoholism. I had been separated for a long time and filed for divorce once on my own but my husband wouldn’t give me the information I needed to finalize so the case was dismissed. I was hopeless and lost. I talked to Billie and she immediately knew what to do. Using the medical records we got an order of Protection. And emergency orders. Now I could get my son treatment and his dad couldn’t touch him or see him. We used sober link and supervised visits. We worked with a counselor. I got more child support than ever. This was the scariest time in my life and modern law handled it. It wasn’t fast but it was safe and they made it easy. The best part was in trial. You should have seen my ex’s face when Billie was cross examining him. She made him look so bad and exposed him for the jerk he is. I have never felt so protected or understood. My kids and I are doing better than ever. Billie, Jen, Caitlin and everyone at modern law truly changed my life and I and my kids are forever grateful. ❤️❤️❤️

I am at the beginning of a long dreadful and what I felt like was a very complicated case to me. My attorney in just a couple visits and communication has changed my perspective on how I look at this challenging important matter. He let me know that there is an end in sight and my case is very typical and they deal with Similar cases everyday. I realized the reality and simplicity of my situation BECAUSE they took on our family court case. I can't literally wait for this to be put behind us but as my other attorney, Billie T. said that she believed that there is a great chance to have a good resolution. And I have been planning to have her and her law firm and team represent me for five years now. My first consult was after trial. Billie was simply honest with her answer and straight up gave me nothing but legal advice and FACTS. I consulted with several firms and attorneys... none were fit or right for my case because they made my case out to be as if it were impossible. (Which it is and was a high conflict case unfortunately) 2020 AND Finally a light at the end of the tunnel thanks to the Modern Law team I have worked with thus far. Lastly, I want to say how incredible my paperwork was worded and prepared... it is to the point, no nonsense while being clear and concise not to mention the kindness and compassion from everyone you come across on this team. Definitely priceless and very grateful. Thank you Billie and modern law for being simply open and honest from the get go.

Modern Law is the best law firm hands down and I would highly recommend them over anyone else. I have spent 8 years fighting for my son and have been represented by 2 attorneys at Modern Law. They all have their specialties, what they excel at, and have been instrumental in my obtaining equal parenting time with my son. Billie Tarascio and Darin Colburn are the attorneys I have had the pleasure of working with. Billie handled my out of state parenting plan like a true professional and was able to get me more weeks than is typical, and I can’t thank her enough for that. Darin handled my equal parenting plan upon my return to Arizona and was calm, cool and collected and able to help me stay that way as well. Billie and Darin dealt with all the curveballs and not so ethical moves made by my ex and her attorneys and through it all was able to get me just what I wanted, equal parenting time. Billie and Darin possess a high moral fiber which is what sets them apart from the rest. They can get you the results your looking for without sinking to the level of whom they are up against, or having their own ethics called into question; which, let’s face it, that’s what most lawyers are known for. NOT this firm though. Modern Law is so successful and sought after because of their core values and moral high ground. Thank you, truly, for everything you have done for my son.

Mr. Everts represented me in a very difficult divorce about 10 years ago. It involved AZ law, International law, and another State's law for a prenup. He was able to maneuver through all of it succinctly and accurately. Highly qualified and I was in very good hands in my representation. I do not believe my divorce would have handled as well if I hired another lawyer, as he truly researched and figured out all the aspects of this complicated case.

Extremely thorough and offered complimentary consult when most seasoned attorneys with his tenure would charge a minimum of $150 - $200 /hr. I was impressed he requested additional material to review/ consider to provide a more thoughtful analysis of my case. No denying Steven is an expert and sincerely appreciated his time.

I hired Mr everts to be my attorney for a divorce modification child support, & custody. long story short he didn't catch something and something they told me all along they would do could no longer be done because I had not done my paperwork incorrectly. He was hired as my attorney and even had me correct the child support worrsheet but blamed me for his error in not catching it. I did file a complaint with the AZ STATE Bar and because this was a mistake I was advised to look for a legalmalpractice lawyer because he cost my son close to $35,000 in back child support that we could not get because he made a mistake not me. I will be building a webpage to post my story, in the end at my child support pre hearing with my x attorney in the room, and the end my x first words out of his mouth where him thanking my attorney. Justice was not served and this momma is on fire with what he put us though. My son is special needs and he did not advocate for me for him like he was hired to do so. DO not hire them!

I used Edwards and Peterson to finalize my divorce, and in particular Josh Edwards one of the managing partners. Josh was excellent to work with and although my case was quite complicated, he helped me navigate through it with professionalism, ease, and a positive outcome for my child and myself. I would highly recommend Edwards and Peterson for those moments in life when competency counts and professional representation is paramount. Josh-Phoenix-Metro Area

Don’t even bother with this place, they’ve been giving my dad the run around for over a year and it’s sick, he tore his ACL at a restaurant and it’s excuses after excuses. This time they have a problem getting in contact with their insurance? When they’re a big law firm? It’s a joke honestly, they wouldn’t call us for months for any updates. We would call constantly just to see what’s going on, definitely don’t recommend. I wouldn’t even give them any stars

Unethical scam artists that regularly get disbarred and only care about billable hour$. If you’re not racking up hour$, even after telling them about your budget, they’ll drop you right before trial and leave you unrepresented. Need your files? Too bad, pay your ransom.
They schedule appointments against your will and charge you anyways, even after telling them you didn’t agree to it. They’ll backpay themselves when you weren’t represented by them and chit chat about the weather to bloat the hour$.
They’ll also whisper into their recording device “No client-attorney privilege”, before asking questions around other unknown people, outside of their office. Don’t like that? Go unrepresented or write a blank check.

He could care less about the case or do I g what is right. He accepted a payment from me and then withdrew as my attorney weeks prior to court, do to my inability to give him an additional $5,000 retainer. He had already charged me $8000+ and had accomplished nothing.

Glenn worked with me to help get custody of my children. He discussed all aspects of the case and made sure I knew everything that could and couldn’t happen. Was his rate higher than some other lawyers? Sure-but he fought for me twice as hard as my other lawyers had in the past. I promise, his value far exceeds his rate. Hire him. You won’t regret it. And I am saying that after my case did not go the way I wish it had.

I have used Glenn for a few years ... yes, years.
I am a single father to an only child and my ex and I have equal custody; but as these things go, as she has aged and life has become more about power and control (and gasp, money), I found myself increasingly defending myself against frivolous claims ... not wanting to lawyer-up for simple paperwork, I'd prepare all of my own documents and then use the one-hour consulting offer from Glenn to make sure I wasn't going to make a bad mistake.
After a couple of years, and dealing with an onslaught of legal filings, I bit the bullet and decided to go the "retainer" route with Glenn and his practice ... figured it was worth the cost to make all of the aggravation and emotions someone else's problem.
It was well worth it as I was able to relax knowing I had someone very professional, experienced and competent taking care of everything for me ... I can't say I "won" but I certainly didn't lose and my life (and my child's) are so much better with all of this behind us ... and all of this is because I trusted Glenn and his firm.
We have two more years until my child turns 18, and while I hope I never have to see Glenn again, I won't hesitate retaining him again if ever I find the need!

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.
