Great lawyer!!!! He will work very effectively to get you the best offer and I am truly pleased. I was facing very serious charges and he was able to get majority (14/15) dismissed and the last one remaining was reduced. I would definitely recommend to any one with legal troubles. He listens and cares about his clients to the fullest !!

The anxiety of going through a DWI process is almost unbearable and embarrassing. Jason Reece was referred to me from another reputable attorney and I am grateful that he became my counsel. The process was exceptional from start to finish and he got right to work after my initial phone consultation. Between him and his office I was regularly informed, and they were quick in response to all emails and phone calls. Although it is important to be prepared for worst case scenario and the high probability of conviction rate in these cases, he thoroughly reviewed my file and developed a defense. At trial he found many inconsistencies with the state's case and filed multiple motions. He was patient then went after the state like a "rabid dog" is what I called him. The case was ultimately dismissed, and I could not be more pleased. Jason knows his craft and is one of the most intelligent individuals I have ever met. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you for providing me with the best counsel I could have ever imagined.

I am so thankful that Lindsey was my attorney. Lindsay and her team made an incredibly difficult time so much easier to manage. I wanted things to be as amicable as possible and I know I found the right person who cared about family as much as I did. She is as kind and empathetic as she is organized and smart. She did better for me than I could have hoped and would refer her to anyone.

My experience with Collins Law, specifically Mamie Harrison, has been outstanding! In my many years, I have not worked with a more thorough, professional and genuinely nice person. Mamie asks all of the right questions to obtain pertinent information, and is extremely talented in documenting that information. I recommend hiring this firm and working with Mamie. You're in GREAT hands!

She reassured me, validated me, and walked me through everything. I am beyond grateful to have met her and have her represent me. Words cannot express my gratitude. Not only is she an exceptional attorney, she is also an amazing human being. Her empathy and love for justice definitely shows in her work. She has become a part of my family for sure. Recommending her 1000%

I hired Mr. Kline to defend me in a 50 b violation. He was very precise and to the point. He was very hopeful that we would get a community service conviction but instead we got the best, a total dismissal. The court realized that my ex was misusing the courtroom and judicial system. I could not be more happy with outcome. Do not hesitate to hire Tyler!

I had a high conflict family law case for four years. Attorney Advocates were involved as well as DSS and five other attorneys before I hired Danielle Walle. She was sent from Heaven to get my case settled and keep my child safe. She is, without a doubt, the BEST, most efficient and caring attorney. She went above and beyond, giving me the advice, support, confidence and comfort I needed to ensure I would get the most favorable outcome and time with my son. She is an absolute beast in the courtroom as well! She will tirelessly fight for her clients and she performed brilliantly! I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. PLEASE hire her! Thank you so much Danielle!!

I hired Danielle just over five years ago. When I met with Danielle, I just knew she was the absolute best fit for me. There is a very simple reason why Danielle is so well-liked: she is a talented and outstanding attorney who works for her clients as if they were her personal friend or family member. I had the good fortune to find her in my search for new representation after a serious child custody crisis. I had to resolve financial things, but those were a piece of cake in comparison to the issues with my daughter. I still remember the first time I met Danielle because her knowledge, professionalism, honesty and genuine demeanor was strikingly different from the attorney I had worked with and the experiences I had had. She skillfully brought calm to a very emotional and chaotic situation. My ex was toxic and terrible for my daughter who had very specific and special needs. Danielle had the right energy and compassion to understand what I needed, what my daughter needed, and the grit to help us get there. Danielle worked steadfastly for me. It was not always easy, but Danielle kept me informed of the pros and cons every step of the way. She let me make the choices, but she held my hand as I did and ensured I knew exactly what I was doing before I had to make any decisions. She didn't back down from a challenge and was able to adapt to all the crazy things my ex and his attorney threw at us. She was caring, empathetic, and sensitive at every step. She knew that my daughter was my first priority and every step she took was with that in mind. It's been a long time, but I am thankful for her every day. Every day that my daughter was safe with me, I know it's because God led me to Danielle. Danielle told me that her job was to represent the "whole client," and that's what she did. She wasn't cheap by any means, but she kept me informed of the costs, gave me options to save money when possible, and she surrounded herself with excellence. Danielle's excellent paralegal, Janessa, was absolutely phenomenal. Danielle told me that she'd have Janessa and her team do as much as possible to keep my costs down. It made me nervous, but I realized that Danielle was always aware and present, but
her team was my team and everyone worked as a unit. I am so appreciative that I was able to have such diligent attention without needing to pay a 2-3 attorney team. She's changed firms since I hired her, but it's my understanding that she's working with her same team. It's clear that Danielle is loyal and steadfast in all that she does. I honestly cannot express enough thanks, gratitude or appreciation for her hard work and support in what she helped accomplish for me and my daughter. Thank you Danielle! I'm sorry it took me so long to leave a review, but I told you I'd do it as soon as C turned 18!

Danielle was phenomenal during the time she worked on my custody case. In a case that was very high conflict I felt that she really had my back and did everything she possibly could to resolve the matter. I always felt that she understood the complexity of my case and always steered things in the right direction. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking a very competent and knowledgeable attorney, as well as somebody who truly cares about your and your case.

I hired David during a very tumultuous time when I had a lot of confusion and fear about what I was facing in family court. From day one, David was kind, thoughtful, and thorough in explaining my options and keeping me very aware of the costs I would be facing. He's been incredibly responsive and professional and a pillar of strength and calm in our hearings. He and I have a while to be working together, and I don't feel that I could be in more capable hands. He is hands down one of the most patient and empathetic attorneys I've encountered. He has an incredible skillset and mind for navigating complex legal sotiaonsnand then explaining them in simple terms instilling calm and trust.

I am so thankful that I chose Jillian to represent me in my custody case. From consultation, to solidifying a final order by trial Jillian was a strong advocate for my desires and kept the interest of my children at the forefront. Jillian and her firm was very responsive to all my correspondence and operated at a level of excellence that I have grown to expect as a veteran and military professional. She is not afraid to address stereotypes, biases, and put together a plan that challenged them all. Furthermore, she understands the importance of fathers, African American fathers to their children, and was not scared to have the difficult conversation in court with children of both African American and Caucasian parents. My voice was heard and it was 100% clear that she would fight for my desires, but she always gave thoughtful recommendations to me as her client. Jillan promised she would advocate for me in the best way possible and build the strongest case she could and she delivered on her word. As someone that lives out of state, she ensured she kept me up to date, informed, and did extensive trial prep with me. Furthermore she helped me draft negotiations, settlements, and ultimately got me 99% of everything I asked for. She helped me to achieve joint legal custody of both of my children, primary physical custody of my oldest son, a meeting time and place that is equidistant from both parents home, an every other weekend schedule with my other son, an agreeable holiday schedule, and extensive summer schedule, along with a agreement that will foster a positive co parenting relationship.
Jillian also assisted me with my divorce proceeding that eventually moved to the state of Virginia but she co counseled with my VA attorney and helped with come up with an agreeable divorce decree and child support agreement.
Should I have any other issues that arise, she will be the attorney I chose.

Jillian is the best attorney ever. Being in a season that requires legal counsel and representation is extremely overwhelming and unnerving. Jillian worked very hard on my divorce and custody case and kept open communication throughout the process. She is very knowledgeable, assertive, patient, does not waste time, and made me feel comfortable in the court room. I appreciate that Jillian would often ask me how I felt which shows her dedication and care for her clients. I will refer anyone seeking legal counsel to Attorney Jillian Moore!

I hired Mr David Hudson to help me fight for custody of my granddaughters. My daughter passed away and I had had custody for approximately 2 yrs before their dad decided he wanted them. I went to Mr Hudson he explained everything to me and that it was gonna be hard for me to retain custody with me beginning the grandmother. But with David’s hard work we prevailed. I would recommend David as a lawyer to anyone who needs a honest hard working caring person.

I hired Siemens Family Law Group in Asheville, NC when I found myself facing an unexpected (and adversarial) divorce process. I specifically requested Jim Siemens, and I'm so glad I did. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and kind. He helped me get through this difficult process without compromising his integrity or mine.
Jim's advice literally saved me from financial peril because it put me in a much better negotiating position. He had my back throughout the divorce mediation process.
Both Jim and his assistant Dorothy were great to work with and I highly recommend this firm.

Courtney went above and beyond to help my son with his child visitation case. She came in on her day off , during pandemic when the opposing counsel pulled a shady court order. She immediately handled the situation and with good results. My son's case was a tough case and ended with good results without even having to go to trial. She is worth every penny and then some. She will fight for the rights of her client and any children to the fullest. I would highly recommend her and definitely seek her help again if needed.

When I made the decision to modify custody for my daughter I knew it was going to take a GREAT attorney to make it happen. I was told Courtney Hull was the woman I wanted, and boy was that information correct! Courtney is an amazing attorney who is passionate about what she does, I felt like like she was more than just my attorney but a friend! She did everything in her power to help my case and I ended up with joint custody, 50 50 after signing sole custody over to my childs father and after not seeing my child for a year. Almost unheard of right? Yet Courtney made it happen. Custody cases are always hard and your esentially putting your life in your attorneys hands which is a scary thing, but I promise you Courtney is a must you can trust! She cares and does everything she can in her power and in a timely manner. I will forever be greatful for her and Twiford Law.

Although my child custody case involved several difficult issues and a contentious ex-husband, Courtney Hull represented me with zeal and compassion. She rigorously advocated on my behalf and achieved a very favorable child custody settlement for me. Courtney and her support staff were always accessible to me through in-person, phone or text contact and Courtney thoroughly explained all of my options to me. Courtney is a phenomenal, results-oriented attorney.

I can't begin to put into words how lucky I feel to have been represented by Ashley Smith in my divorce and custody case. Ashley cares about her clients and during what was easily the scariest and most difficult time in my life, I was able to focus on what mattered, protecting my 7 yr old daughter, myself, work, and keeping a straight head knowing I had Ashley on my side to quickly navigate and provide outstanding advise during a chaotic time. She believed in me and was always available and immediately got back to me the numerous times I had to contact her. I was prepared most importantly for the 2 times we had to go in front of a judge and was calm on the stand because I listened to Ashley's advise. Unfortunately my case involved addiction and child endangerment. When going through something like this, you almost spend as much time contacting your lawyer as you do speaking to friends and family. Trust me when I say Ashley is the one you want fighting for you. These things are long and drawn out and I could not imagine confiding in and being represented by anyone else. Ashley is easy to speak to and highly respected among her peers and all in her industry and that was obvious to me. Ashley simply gets it done, quickly and professionally and is there for you to make sense of all the curveballs and things that can occur in a case like mine. I am forever grateful for what Ashley did for me and my family and I am stronger than ever after going through what I have because of an amazing support system I had and have, but knowing the leader of this was Ashley whether she knows it or not. Thank you Ashley!

I cannot say enough about Ms. Ashley Smith. She is the eye of the storm. The part in the middle that is calm and stable while there is chaos spinning all around. Some of us, like me show up in her office vulnerable, clueless, scared, hopeless the list goes on. Ashley is not your therapist nor is she going to tell you everything will be fine but what she will do is listen, focus, instruct, compile, answer every single question, guide you. She will only reach out if she has to. Be patient because I can assure you she is working thoroughly on your case. I put all of my trust and fate in her hands and it was not easy. When it came time it was incredible to watch Ashley work. Her professionalism and determination is above and beyond. She is a true inspiration. I have friends who separated before I did and my case finished before theirs, Above all Ashley exceeded all of my wants, needs and expectations in the end. I can move on assured my son and I will be completely secure in our future and I have Ashley to thank for it all.

Almost 2 years ago today I made the very difficult decision to end my 2 decades of marriage after my "I do" became an "I don't". The associated legal process of separation and divorce in North Carolina is complex; however consulting with and ultimately hiring Theresa E. Viera was a life-saving move on my part. Theresa is a great teacher and explains each part of the process in a manner that allows you to make the best decisions possible during a highly emotional time. She is well respected in the community and the courthouse and runs a firm full of legal experts who are life-saving. I ended my process successfully and could not have done so without Theresa and her team guiding me, checking in on me, and ushering me into the next phase of my life. Although divorce is a sad situation, she led me to a place of celebration. I really could not have asked for a better situation.

I was very lucky to find Ms Viera and her team. They were a pleasure to deal with, provided excellent and timely information and communication, and assisted me in every step of the process. They assisted me through a couple of bumps in the road perfectly and even in a time where it is very difficult to make a personal connection I felt their empathy, and that was greatly appreciated. Clear and concise through the whole process, made it easy to trust them to get the resolution requested.

I am a resident of another state and Theresa Viera represented me in a case in North Carolina. I was unfamiliar with various antiquated laws in N.C. I initially hired a different attorney/firm and that experience was awful. I was quite scared about what could happen with my case and I luckily found new representation in Theresa. What a difference maker. She was well-versed on the specific laws and right away made me feel less stressed. She was compassionate, thorough, attentive, and took her time to make sure I understood every nuance of the case, as well as my options. I could not have asked a better attorney to act on my behalf. Theresa guided me through the process with professionalism and kindness, and helped me reach a reasonable resolution. She took away a lot of my anxiety about the unknown and was a terrific advocate for me. I wish I would have located her sooner and hired her from the beginning. I highly recommend Theresa!

I am so grateful for Matt Arnold and his team. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever be going through a divorce. After almost 22 years of marriage that is exactly what I was doing and I was a complete mess. At the consultation Matt was straight forward and painted an accurate picture of what to expect.
From the hiring of Matt to our final day in court was a 5 1/2 year process. Throughout the entire process Matt and Joanna, his paralegal, were amazing. Never...ever did I feel unimportant. Whenever they were working with me I felt like their only client. I had some less than stellar moments and every time they would kindly and graciously help me get back on track and refocused on the end goal.
We had several court dates throughout this divorce process. Every time Matt was completely prepared. He is formidable. He doesn't get flustered or caught off guard. He has a grasp and understanding of the law that is, in my honest opinion, unmatched. He and his team leave no stone unturned. They do absolutely everything they possible can to achieve your absolute best outcome.
The divorce process most likely will take longer than you want and cost more than you want. The lawyer you hire to carry you over the "finish line" holds your future in their hands. It is a decision that will have a ripple effect on the rest of your days. You want those hands to be strong, capable, tireless, genuine, knowledgeable, determined, and willing to fight for you. Those hands belong to Matt Arnold.
That may sound "corny" as you read my review. I am emotional as I write it. I honestly and whole heartedly mean every word. This mid 50s ish old woman who was heart broken and fearful could not be more grateful for Matt Arnold and his team. I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, I was in very good capable hands and I am eternally grateful .
Matt Arnold is who you want representing you.

2018 I consulted 2 attorneys before contacting Mr Arnold. I was told twice that I screwed myself being Pro Sa and that I’m lucky my ex bf- no blood relation to my son, didn’t get more visitation rights than what was awarded. I wasn’t accepting that. Matt Arnold and his team got my case dismissed and my ex no longer had rights to a child who was not biologically his. I would chose him again in a heartbeat and have recommended him to others. When I was told the door had closed, Mr Arnold knocked it down. Thank you so much!

As my family law attorney, Matt Arnold has done an exceptional job in representing the interests of me and my child. I observed his overall performance as a lawyer and specifically in his capacity as a courtroom litigator. Ashley Crowder has also done an exceptional job in serving me in this case. Both Mr. Arnold and Ms. Crowder are knowledgeable, well-prepared, organized and well-versed in family court law.
Mr. Arnold accepted my case and was able to prepare for trial in less than 30 days. As a result of his expertise and dedicated work effort, he was able to obtain a successful outcome on my behalf. Mr. Arnold and Ms. Crowder work exceptionally well as a team and both of them kept me apprised of the timing and steps in the proceedings at all times.
Mr. Arnold is highly professional, knowledgeable and strategic in dealing with his clients’ interests. He is a strong communicator and collaborative with his clients in the way that he approaches the issues and makes a plan to address them. Ms. Crowder is equally professional and adept in her communications skills.
Mr. Arnold has an exceptional staff. He has a highly-experienced team of associate attorneys, paralegals and administrators. The team is very responsive and timely in completing work. They maintain a clear line of communication regarding progress and calendaring of hearings and filings of motions. The team is polite, professional, and a pleasure to work with.
Mr. Arnold and his staff have a proven track record that has demonstrated his ability to successfully represent his clients in a way that instills confidence and delivers the best results for you and your children. I highly recommend Mr. Arnold, Ms. Crowder, and the staff at Arnold and Smith, PLLC, to effectively handle family court and custody case proceedings in your best interest.

Paul was great to work with. A friend recommended him to me and I would recommend him to others as well now. I had a simple separation that didn’t need to go to court. He was excellent in guiding me as to what I should fight for and what wasn’t worth fighting for since the court wouldn’t be able to enforce it anyway. He was always very responsive to my emails and questions, as were his team. He was a level head and guide during a not so easy season.

This is the second time I have have used Will over the last ten years. 10 years ago I was faced with a nightmare of a divorce and Will guided me though a very complicated settlement. I was devastated and Will was patient and understanding.
Recently a change in circumstances affected my divorce contract. Will effectively amended the contract to make sure my best interest was met.
I highly recommend him for any services involving Family Law.

I am writing this letter to recommend Will Medlin as a family law attorney. As a father of two teen boys and a small business owner, I could no longer remain in a marriage that had taken its toll on my sons and me. Will was recommended to me as an attorney who uses intelligence and reason to protect the rights of those he represents.
As this was my first marriage, I was quite nervous and ashamed to be in this situation. My marriage failed and now I had to share all kinds of personal information with a stranger. These feelings didn’t last long. Will is a kind, no-nonsense attorney that is detailed in his fact finding, organized in his communication and focused on the big picture. He provides reasoned guidance and will not hesitate to “shoot straight” with a client that gets caught up in the emotions of the battle. Will has a calm demeanor, but he knows how to deal with an opposing attorney who uses fear and “pit bull” tactics to sway a mediator. As with any negotiation, nobody walks away from the table 100% happy. Will pulls from his experience and resources to help his clients understand when the time is right to accept an offer.
Going through a divorce is one of the toughest choices an individual can make. Children, real estate and business investments make this decision exponentially more difficult and stressful. There are so many more considerations that only an extremely talented attorney can see. Will Medlin is this attorney. He resolved my separation agreement quickly and was one of the few bright spots on a journey I never wanted to take. Will is a great attorney and a wonderful guy. Once you work with him, you will agree.

My case, as most, was complexed and messy. Will was simply amazing. Every turn of event and every time I had any issue he was on top of it and always responded to my every question, issue, etc. even when I know he was not in the office! He was very patient with me and respectful in all aspects. He always prepared me for what I feel was 100% accurate. Many attorney's I have found will tell you what you would "like to hear," however this was never once the case with Will. I am very happy to have chosen Will. The firm was also very accommodating and very easy to work with. If I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. If you're looking for an honest, fair, and a GREAT attorney, your search should be over.

I found Alex by chance, and I couldn't be more pleased. My now husband and my two boys wanted to make it official and do an adoption. My ex was making it hard to do, even though he had not been in there lives for over 12 years and no child support. Alex didn't give up. He fought for us and got it done. The adoption is official. Alex has also given us advice on other things. The whole office is wonderful. Crystal is amazing and so understanding. If you have any issues I recommend them to the fullest. And for those who I know will wonder they are very reasonable with cost and they will work with you on everything. Thank you again for everything Pope McMillan

Mr. Lee Allen is a wonderful lawyer. I feel like he really understood what I was going through. He was kind, caring and compassionate. Just knowing that he was representing me, it took away my stress. I don’t know if I would have gotten a positive outcome without him. I hope I never need a lawyer again but if I do, I will definitely call Mr. Allen.

If you are looking for a divorce attorney, I highly recommend Amanda Knight. She is knowledgeable, experienced and really efficient with her time. She made herself available to me whenever I had questions or wanted to discuss details about the divorce. She understands that divorce is challenging for those going through it and treated me with kindness and respect. There were also a couple of uncommon circumstances in my case, including possession of a dog, that she was able to easily handle. Again, I highly recommend her.

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.
