When I started researching attorneys and asking for referrals two different people recommended Allyson Dow. At the time I thought it was a coincidence, however after working with Allyson and Crystal Pietroforte I think it happened for a reason because they were exactly who I needed to guide me through my divorce. I’m truly grateful to have found them. Even when my emotions ran deep, they calmly and expertly steered me back on the right path. They work as a tight-knit team and were always well prepared, professional and their communication was excellent. What impressed me the most is that they took the time to get to know me. I was fully confident that they weren’t just representing me because it was their job, they genuinely stood behind me, which means more than anything. You won't find a better team!

Allyson Dow represented me in a difficult family law case and was assisted by Crystal Pietroforte. Allyson was professional, well-prepared, gave measured and helpful advice, and advocated for me, my children, and my rights. Her prices for the work completed was fair and she went out of her way to make sure I was not buried financially. Beyond the legal service, Allyson and Crystal believed in me—and in these cases, just knowing that someone is willing to stand behind you is more powerful than any law. If you have family law needs, you would be well-served to choose Allyson.

This firm was wonderful to me. I had to hire an attorney while I lived in South Dakota to fight a claim made by my ex husband. They were always available to answer questions. Gave helpful advice. And represented me in my contempt trial. Everyone from Courtney to Taylor and Alex and Lindsey . Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Exceptional young man who is highly skilled and effective. No one in our area (Durant) would take our difficult, messy case. Ryan did…and he got us a settlement that made us whole again. He was patient with us during our most difficult of times. He was professional and polite when dealing with our opposition and handled all matters with grace and class. We are now happy to call him much more than our attorney. Thank you, Ryan.

If you find yourself in the regrettable circumstance of needing a family lawyer, you cannot do better than Grant Brown.
What impressed me most was his preparedness. Grant takes the time to get to know his clients, as well as the opposing side and the case particulars. On court day, nobody will know more or be better prepared.
Secondly, I found his demeanor to be very appropriate. Grant is the guy who is READY for an ugly fight, not the guy who provokes one. He's calm and pleasant without fail right up until it's time not to be.

Ryan Childress (RC Law Group) recently helped me with a civil case where I was sued for negligence. From the beginning he told me how frivolous this case seemed. Throughout the process, we had a few settlement offers, which I was considering just to settle the case. Mr. Childress was honest and advised me properly. I am very happy to disclose my case was dismissed with prejudice due to Mr. Childress' honesty, consistency and dedication to my case.
I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Childress (RC Law Group) if you are in need of an attorney.

I was looking for a solid lawyer to help me with a child custody case, and Pete Louden exceeded my expectations. As a fellow veteran, I appreciated his honesty, professionalism, and dedication throughout the process. Residing in New Jersey, I was dreading the idea of having to fly back for hearings, but Pete handled everything seamlessly, allowing me to stay put. He worked tirelessly to secure 50/50 custody for me and my daughter, achieving it in a shorter timeframe than I anticipated. If you need an attorney who truly fights for you and cares about your case, I highly recommend Pete Louden. He will take care of you!

I have had several lawyers throughout my stages in life and Mr. Louden is by far the most compassionate, the best listener and has quick response time. He is knowledgeable in his field and knows military/veteran legal requirements as well. I will always refer anyone to him! The communication whether over the phone or in writing has always been clear and concise. He breaks it down into options for a better understanding. Any legal terms that I did not understand he explained them. Stressful situations require a lawyer to make your life and your family‘s life very easy and he excelled with my case. Call for a consult because he will not let you down. He helped guide me in my case recently and helped me win more than expected. Thank you to Pete!

Pete was litterally a godsend for me. I have had 3 lawyers prior to him with terrible communication and not willing to work on the case for my kids. Pete stayed in constant communication always up to date and stayed on top of the case so we showed up prepared constantly. Very professional also knows what he is doing and helps guide you to know what is most important. Truly very knowledgeable and hard working I will for sure be using only Pete for future custody issues as we all know in his line of work repeat customers are almost guaranteed. All the years and effort were worth it when we got the final result and my girls were taken care of.

My visit to the Gibbons Law Office was excellent! I was greeted upon arrival and made comfortable while waiting for my appointment. The appointment itself was as if visiting with friends.

Ben is by far not only a great lawyer, but one of the better people you will come across.. during my legal situation he never left me second guessing, in fear and always remained in control of every aspect of my case. I have often heard that Family Court cases can get out of hand very quickly. Ben kept the situation in control.. Would recommend x1000!

Went through a divorce and was completely lost. Ben was able to fight for the light at the end of the tunnel for me. I could not be where I am in my life at this point without having sought counsel with Ben. His paralegal, Connie, is a true gem and extremely helpful. Janet, the secretary is equally as patient, kind and efficient. Ben has a calm demeanor, but will fight for you, never steer you in the wrong direction and is worth every dime. He makes the best use of your money and your time. I am finally done and feel like he was the best investment I’ve made even during a truly awful time.

I could not have asked for better. He doesn’t screw around or give you unrealistic expectations. He knows lawyers are expensive and makes the best use of his time. His follow up is exceptional and doesn’t leave you hanging or wondering what’s next. And most importantly he knows his stuff. He gets it done and is on YOUR side. I had the best outcome possible and he exceeded all my expectations. Would definitely use again!

I cannot begin to explain how pleased I am with Brian! He was very readily available and sufficient whenever my situation was laid out on the table almost 7 months ago. At a time where I didn't know what direction to look or turn Brian took initiative in leading me the correct way. I highly HIGHLY reccomend him to everyone and anyone who is in the need of lawful guidance. To this day, even after my case has been closed for several months now he still has open arms for and questions or concerns I may have.

I found ONE!! I found an honest Lawyer. He not only returns phone calls but he is also available to update his client on the status of the case. Brian handled a personal injury for me and my five. I was extremely satisfied with the way Brian worked.
The lawyer is Brian Putnam with his office on N.W. 63 St, in OKC. He doesn’t rob you when the time comes to settle up at the conclusion of the case. I have used a lot of lawyers over the years and Attorney Brian Putnam is the best.
Need a lawyer? Call Brian Putnam!

He has been amazing and I would recommend him and his firm to anyone who needs an attorney that cares and will do what they say they are going to do. I am so thankful for him and his staff.

I was a father fighting for sole custody of my daughter. I used Mr. Carroll along with Jim Feamster for my child custody case. It was VERY complicated. It took 2 years & a 6 day trial to be awarded sole custody of my daughter. It was a father vs. mother in the state of OK. We all know that is very difficult.
It was a long difficult process. But, they advised me through EVERY step along the way. At times I have to admit I thought OMG this can't be right :( But, everything they advised was EXACTLY what I need to do to win my case.
I will FOREVER me grateful to them for the hard work & perseverance that it took for my WIN!

Mr. Wallace is very patient and very determined in what he does for his clients! I had a long and drug out divorce that lasted 2 years. He supported me and got me everything I asked for! He also allowed payment arrangements if I could not meet them at specific dates as long as everything was paid by judgement day. He's very professional, stern, trustworthy, and gets the job done! Thank you Timothy Wallace for all you've done!!

Mr Carignan is the absolute best call you can make. To not do so might cost you not only more money and time…but you still might not get the desired effect. I was in a hopeless situation where I felt like no one cared and government wasn’t going to help, and not to mention almost a year trying on my own ( futile attempt to save money )
Once I got it in contact, which was within a day of sending a email… I was able to see light at the end of the tunnel! No one wants to spend money… but if you have to spend it, you want a good product or quality work. I assure you this gentleman is both, and at a reasonable price. Things can be tough when you battle alone, having him on your team is the difference between the winning or losing It can all be different with his help

Our family used Jeffrey to modify visitation on a child custody case. It was simple. He promised to have the document written up in 2 weeks. We didn't hear from him for 3 months. His paralegal staff would randomly text every Friday incomplete sentences which he charged us for. After 1.5 years of frustration, the updated document that everyone signed was never filed but instead the same original document was filed. We paid $5000 for absolutely nothing and we endured a 1.5 years of frustration and arguing with his office. His office staff is horrible and he did nothing as a lawyer. DON'T HIRE HIM!

My name is Susan Wolf and my husband and I used Mitchell Garrett for our personal bankruptcy. Mr. Garrett and his legal secretary were both great to deal with. We live about 65 miles from Tulsa, Ok., and we got a lot of work accomplished on the telephone, and emails. When we went for the first meeting with Mr. Garrett and his legal secretary it went extremely well. Both were professional and made us feel welcome. Mr. Garrett was so helpful in explaining everything to us, as this was the first time we've done a bankruptcy. He is very smart and knows the law on bankruptcy very well. I would recommend Mr. Garrett to anyone who needs the services he offers. We are glad it all went so well. Thanks Mr. Garrett.

Anderson & Associates became part of my life at a very vulnerable time. I was involved in an auto accident that not only took my car away but my sense of comfort in busy traffic.
One phone call to this firm and I was all in. The staff was top notch experienced and did everything for me. They assured me to take it easy and they will take care of all the madness, which they fulfilled and then some.
The resolution from Anderson & Associates was more than expected and justified.
With reassurance from my attorney Lynn Anderson, I no longer have fear of what I experienced the day of my wreck.
My gratitude is endless to the professional and caring staff of Anderson & Associates.

Unfortunately, I have had to deal with quite a few different lawyers in my lifetime, most of them have been family law and have been awful. When I contacted Greg ‘s office. I thought to myself, oh no here we go again. The experience I had with Greg and his team was absolutely perfect and I could not have asked for more. The biggest thing for me with lawyers in the past was that none of them had any compassion and took days if not weeks to get back with me. This was not the case with them. They were always very quick to get back to me, return emails and phone calls. They were also very informative and genuinely cared about me and my case.
I would highly recommend Greg and his team!

I contacted Harold after my now ex wife walked away from the marital residence and left our children with me. This divorce took 1 year and Harold became very personal with me and took the time to get to know me personally. He went above and beyond to protect my assets and listened to my fears and walked me through any and all questions I had regarding a divorce. Harold went above and beyond with everything he did especially with a high conflict divorce with 3 children involved. I would highly recommend Harold Thompson to anyone in need of a divorce lawyer. I know what people think, "Lawyers are lawyers". But I could literally reach Mr. Thompson any day of the week if it was important enough. He brought to the table a level of professionalism and more importantly, "Integrity", which is something of a pipe dream nowadays. Harold is honest and will tell you the harsh truth when It needs to be said to you. He knows when to push and when to back off. I respect him for that. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to represent me in the courtroom and honestly consider him a friend now. He fought for me insanely hard and I couldn't have asked for more! God bless you Mr. Thompson.

My wife took my daughter and left me devastated. I called 7 different attorneys and 5 of them were just cold robots who only cared about telling me how much they cost and how little time I had to tell them about my case. At my lowest point while waiting for a call back, Attorney Harold Thompson called me. One of the reputable law firms I contacted were booked and so passed my information onto Harold. Harold Thompson consoled me first and made me feel as though he was sitting right next to me. He then listened to my case for as long as I needed him to and then told me he how he would fight for me as hard or as long as I needed him to. He did not try to nickle and dime me like the other attorneys and informed me of his FLAT rate and worked with me on payment options. His process to get things started was straight forward and to the point. He started working immediately and was more knowledgeable and more insightful than other attorneys. He professionally communicated with my wife and then back with me and was able to determine that divorce and a custody battle would be extreme at this point. Other attorneys would had just thought how they could keep money flowing into their pockets. Harold on the other hand recommended a less costly option. Communication had opened back up with me and my wife and my family is back together now thanks to Harold's involvement. Harold Thompson is not just a wonderful attorney but a caring and understanding person who is devoted to helping people and not destroying families.

She was good and thorough to make sure my contract would not go against me.. She also was good enough to review my contract at the last minute and with short notice.

Melissa F Cornell is dangerous. With a reputation for mudslinging and parental alienation tactics, if you're going for ethical, id highly advise you seek counsel elsewhere. Ms. Cornells actions have placed my four children in danger, as well as dissociated them with a loving home and family. God holds a special place for those who harm our children.

I absolutely recommend the Law Offices of Lawrence Goodwin! He took on my case which involved multiple States, attorneys, and parties over an extended period of time.
He immediately assessed my situation, started the legal processes in motion, and quickly resolved my dilemma.
Randy doesn't waste time. I had complete trust and confidence in his - and his staff's - knowledge and integrity. Any inquiries I had were answered quickly. His staff is efficient and personable.
This is, by far, a hard-working, no-nonsense firm. No complaints or issues from me.
Again, trust your case to them. They're the best!

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.

- 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.

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.
