I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding work my lawyer did on my case. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about my situation. He took the time to listen to my concerns, kept me informed every step of the way, and always made sure I understood the legal process.
His dedication and attention to detail played a huge role in helping me achieve a favorable outcome. He was thorough, responsive, and fought hard to ensure my voice was heard. Thanks to his hard work and expertise, I was able to successfully complete my program and work toward a fresh start in life.
I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a committed and compassionate attorney. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients!

Wow - Just wow. We didn't even talk numbers and Joe was not only willing to help but thoroughly explained what would and wouldn't be a good idea given our situation. He listened and answered thoroughly. We're not yet sure if this will be the route we'll take, but if we do, Joe will definitely have our business.

Jennifer Stevens- empathetically and kindly helped guide me through a difficult divorce. She helped me navigate through things like splitting marital assets/parenting time/child support. The money I spent to have Jennifer flawlessly represent me paid off in the end. She helped me find assets that my ex-wife had hidden and/or illegally took after papers were served. Thank you, Jennifer Stevens. You are the best in the Midwest and beyond!

I found Stephanie through a friend's referral. I would recommend her to anybody going through a divorce. She brought the knowledge, skill, and confidence I lacked to my case. She explained exactly what I could expect, answered all my questions and greatly decreased the stress of the legal process.

I was very fortunate to have found Hill Crabb law to handle my case. Stephanie was great at listening to what I had to say. She also made me feel very informed in the process and what to expect with how it all worked. She made me feel I was more than just another client. If I had to make a choice again on who to handle my case. I wouldn't change a thing. Stephanie and her team would be my choice.

Amanda was exceptional. Similar to wanting a doctor with great bedside manner, she was an outstanding lawyer. She is intelligent, calm, kind and methodical. Unlike many lawyers, she isn’t interested in racking up your billable hours; she works efficiently and only in your best interest. She always responded quickly to calls and emails. Her demeanor was professional yet stern. She is well respected by mediators and judges. My divorce was extremely stressful and Amanda did a great job keeping me calm during times where I was super emotional and stressed. She continued to be the voice of reason and kept me on the course which led to my desired outcome. I would highly recommend Amanda, especially to any man going through a custody battle.

Kerry Anne had a clear and definite plan during a brief consult two months ago. You can hear on the phone that has a logical train of thought and uses clear English and projects her voice well.
This involved family court OFP. I think she would work very fast and determined with respect to her work and practice in family law.
Although, she was hesitant when I mentioned include extra assistance in the form of a private investigator (Behavioral Intelligence Agent) she did concede that she would be open to consulting at her hourly rate as an intermediary advisor outside of court.
*Please shop wisely and use lawyers who are willing to work with a full team of experts.

Glen has been my attorney since 2016. His knowledge and expertise when it comes to family law has given me cause to seek his legal services for continuing legal issues over the years. He has been incredibly generous with his time and effort he has spent on my cases, and I have always been pleased with the work he has done as well as the results.

Lora is an incredible lawyer. She represented me through a very emotional case and did so with grace, educating me and informing me on what was happening every step of the way. She was extremely professional and worked to create an agreement that appeased both parties, ultimately landing on a happy ending. We can't thank Lora enough!

By the end we felt very comfortable that we understood the plan and how everything was constructed. We would definitely recommend Mike.

Just wrapped up our Living Trust today with Guttman Law and associates and feel like a huge weight has been lifted. Matt asked all the pertinent questions and put together an exceptionally thorough Living Trust for my wife and myself with absolutely no ambiguities. We rest very comfortably now, knowing we've made this necessary "part of life" so much easier for our Trustee(s) to manage. We heartily recommend Matt Guttman for his guidance and unquestioned expertise, delivered in an easy-going and unrushed manner. You won't be disappointed. Trust me.

My husband and I put off our estate planning for a long time. We didn't know how to find someone we could trust. Thankfully, some friends of ours told us about their experience working with TJ. They felt he was an excellent attorney and had handled their affairs well. We wholeheartedly agree with their assessment!
TJ was very responsive. We initially contacted him through his website and he responded to our inquiry within hours. My husband is a pilot, and it can be difficult to schedule meetings with him. TJ worked within our time constraints and quickly rearranged when needed.
Once we were in our face to face meeting, TJ, and his assistant, Gretchen, listened well, explained thoroughly, and never made us feel inadequate or judged by some of the "off the beaten track" requests we had.
Talking about death and planning your estate can be stressful, but TJ and his staff made it easy. If you are looking for a kind, very knowledgable, no pressure attorney, my husband and I highly recommend contacting and working with Timothy J. Scott.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding legal support and representation provided by Susan and her remarkable team throughout my journey following a car accident. From the very beginning they demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, expertise, and genuine care.
From the initial consultation, Susan exhibited a deep understanding of my situation, listening attentively to my concerns and provided clear guidance on the legal process ahead. Her compassion and reassurance alleviated my worries, instilling confidence in her ability to navigate the complexities of my case.
Susan demonstrated exceptional negotiation skills during settlement discussions, advocating fiercely for my best interests while maintaining open lines of communication with me every step of the way. Her transparency and commitment to keeping me informed empowered me to make well-informed decisions, fostering a sense of trust and partnership that was truly invaluable.
Beyond their legal expertise, Susan and her team showed genuine compassion and empathy, recognizing the emotional toll the accident had taken on me. Their unwavering support and compassionate guidance provided me with comfort and reassurance during a challenging time in my life.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of Susa and her exceptional team, I recommend Susan to anyone in need of expert legal representation.

We highly recommend Attorney Brad Newbolt and the Bradley W. Newbolt Law Firm. He will be honest with you, yes, an honest attorney!; he is responsive returning calls within 24 hours (and usually within minutes or an hour or two at most); his rates are very affordable especially considering the quality work he provides. We recommend that you make the Bradley W. Newbolt Law Firm your first and only stop for your legal needs; we did and we could not be more pleased.

If i can give less one star i would do it.
First of all he has no time for new clients and delayed the filling for 6 weeks which made my X kidnapping the kids and give them Trauma.
Didn’t answer emergency calls on time at least if he was busy with courts he would act like professional and let one of his paralegals follow up on the situation.
Asked not to pay transportation for my X and still he decided to make me pay it. ( even if it was according to his experience he didn’t explain i was just forced)
Asked million times to be copied in any communications with the my X lawyer and never did.
I don’t even trusted him for the confidentiality.

Todd Dwire for Supreme Court Justice. This man is phenomenal people. He gives it to you straight with no chaser. The first time talking to this man I knew he was a lawyer that would work tirelessly to make sure his client got everything they deserved.

I hired Carly to help me through my divorce. She is a consummate professional and I appreciated her pragmatic approach. A strong and capable negotiator, she tried to find the best solution rather than unnecessary litigation. All of my questions were answered and explained in a way to make sure I understood the reasoning. The process is arduous, but I always felt listened to and it was reassuring to have a team that I felt was always in my corner. I would definitely recommend Carly to any friend who was in similar circumstances.

Jill Anderson did a great job on representing involving child support and spousal maintenance errors in my original divorce decree. Jill along with her team was able to amend my divorce decree and correct the errors n the original court document. It was more than I could do and it was affordable, quick and professional. Jill represented me but worked with my Ex-wife to get all documents signed and sent to court to be notarized and finalized. I would definitely go to Jill for any family law matters in the future. Because Jill is professional, cost is fair, she is up front in consultation with procedures, cost and time frame.

I highly recommend Jill Anderson as an attorney.

Allison took a very difficult case petitioning to review and a hearing for a closed divorce case. This due to shenanigans from petitioner's attorney on initial court hearing, court procedure not followed, no effort mediation on petitioner's part, and attorney's fees - all around petitioner being awarded my primary home. The case was reopened for review, at the end: I was awarded 100% equity and rights to my home and my attorney fees.
Your mileage may vary, but know this: This is likely your best mileage option!
Thanks a million Allison!

I hired Amanda to represent me in my divorce based on the reviews here, but I unfortunately did not have the same experience as others. I often felt as if my case was on the back burner possibly bc no children were involved. I often had little to no understanding of what was going on bc it was not being explained to me unless I reached out, which cost me so much more in fees. On the positive side I will say Amanda is very intelligent and was always responsive when I did reach out with any concerns. But unfortunately certain issues continued up until the very end. For example- my married name was still being used on documents, letters, and emails even though I went through all of the steps to change it and directly asked for them to use my now legal name more than once. Might seem silly to some but to me it was a disrespect to me getting my cultural identity back.

Amanda is literally the best family lawyer that I have met. She has been my lawyer for years on and off and always puts her clients first. I feel fortunate that I found her and she has been there since day one and answered every single question I have had and fought for my what was best for my son. Always has a strategy to figure everything out. She is very knowledgeable and makes everything easy to understand. I am happy with my outcome once again and will use again if needed.

I have little to no actual understanding of the legal system... which I think is, unfortunately, pretty standard for most folks. I know even less than that about family law. I had no idea what the future held regarding my beautiful little girl and was very, very scared.
I will always be thankful for the service, knowledge, professionalism and utter kindness that Amanda and her staff supplied. I have guaranteed time with my daughter only because of her and her and the professionals she has surrounded herself with. The time can't be taken away at a whim. Can't be altered because the weather changed.
Amanda helped me understand my options, never pressured me, and always respected what I wanted. She always ensured that I was as comfortable as I could be with the legal proceedings. I honestly can't think of anything she could have improved upon.
I can honestly say that my life and the life of my kiddo are categorically, significantly better for having worked with Amanda. I can not recommend her services enough.

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.
