I recently reached out to Attorney Melissa Pendergrass about my current legal situation and after speaking with me she explained she was no longer focused on the type of representation I was requiring. She was extremely knowledgeable about my legal problem but felt I was better suited for another attorney! I felt a review was the least I could do seeing as she took the time to hear me out for free and refer me to another attorney she felt was best suited for my situation. It's difficult to find someone who will put your best interest in front of there financial gain and for this reason alone i felt she showed her true character that my outcome meant more than her bottom line! I really hope I do not need a family law attorney in the future but if I do she will absolutely be my first choice

I came to this firm during the worst imaginable point in my life and the excellent legal representation along with the compassion and understanding shown has made an incredible difference in my life. Laura does exactly what she says, she protects business owners. She provided me with an honest assessment of my case and I believe she genuinely cared. Whether I speak with her by phone or meeting with her in person, she is always fully engage. I have been in her office talking about my case she ask questions, explained me with simple words make me understood the process of divorce and what I can expect No matter how many stupid questions I ask her, Laura and her staff always have patience and knowledge to answer, I would like to thank everyone who has been involved in my case so far.

I highly recommend The Roberts Family Law Firm! They provided me with extremely competent, straightforward, and supportive representation during the course of my divorce. My Attorney David Roberts and my Paralegal Lauren were always honest, empathetic, and practical. I will always be grateful that David Roberts continued to represent me even when I could not afford my legal fees and so we had to request an emergency spousal support hearing. I truly don’t know what I would have done without their continued support! This is a firm that 100% cares about their clients and will fight for the client’s best outcome no matter how contentious and underhanded the other side may be.

I hired Mrs Cardena in 2018 to help me with a child support cause. I am a divorced woman with two children and I raised my children five years ago at $ 300 a month and hired her to help me do justice. I was paid Her $ 2000, the only reservation I had in hopes of a better days. My process took two years with a lot of disrespect, She never answered my calls or emails, She have no responsibility to her schedules, the only time She went to court with me, I was not aware of my case. Anyway, this same day I decided to close my case with $ 500 a month, because my mental strain made me a migraine. Here is my warning: if you Want to have migraine hires Lorena Cardama.

I hired Lorena to be my lawyer for modification of child support and majority of custody of my kids. Although it has been 10 long months and my case is not over, I wanted to write this review to show my appreciation. She is working so hard on my case. I had 3 lawyers during my divorce in 2010 and I can say by far, she is the BEST! I’m so thankful for her cause God answered my prayers after all these years by meeting her. She is such a blessing to me and my children.

I had the privilege of working with Hale on my high-conflict case, and I couldn't be more grateful for his dedication and expertise. I was in a situation where I felt hopeless as a single father, but Hale stepped in midway and completely changed the course of my case. From the start, he took the time to listen to my concerns and explained everything with clarity. His knowledge of the law is unmatched, and he was incredibly transparent throughout the entire process. He doesn’t treat you like just another client; he makes you feel like family, and you can tell he’s genuinely committed to fighting for you.
When it came time for trial, Hale’s confidence and expertise were on full display. Watching him in action was nothing short of impressive. He set realistic expectations from the beginning, and everything he said would happen, did. No false promises, just honest, diligent work. If you're in need of a lawyer who is not only skilled but also genuinely cares about your case, Hale is the one you want. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a trusted attorney to take their case all the way to trial.

I contacted them twice for a consultation, first in the middle of the week to request an appointment by the end of the week, and again on the day I had requested the consultation. They never bothered to call back to inform me whether they were unable or unwilling to take the consultation. As a result, the legal matter I had scheduled didn’t go well. How gauche!

We hired this firm in January 2022 for a slip and fall. Needless to say we are still fighting and not 100% due to the defendant. We have had 5 or 6 attorneys since that time. My 81 year old mother has been passed around like stale bread no one wants. If you didn't want the case why did you take it? We finally got a good attorney who was making progress and we were in pre settlement. Haven't heard from them in 4 weeks so she decided to call. Attorney we had left the firm and no one bothered to be professional and notify her. Called many times yesterday only to get a case worker who answers the phone and get the run around. You are a nobody to this firm unless they can make a million dollars from your case. Do not hire them for anything. They take your money so Dennis can make billboards on a Harley.

Highly Recommend The Hamilton Law Firm!
The Hamilton Law Firm was the best choice I could have made for my legal needs. From the very first contact, their team was welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind. I initially spoke with Kallena Mundy, who made a lasting impression. Kallena was knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly respectful throughout my name-change process. She set a high standard for what I could expect from the firm, and I’m grateful for her guidance.
After working with Kallena, I was assisted by Brittney Baboolal, who consistently responded to all of my inquiries in a timely manner. She answered my questions thoroughly, guided me step-by-step through the legal process, and kept me updated at every stage. Brittney’s communication and attentiveness made me feel truly cared for—I never felt like just another client.
When it came time for my court hearing, Attorney Kaylun Bryant represented me with professionalism and confidence. Although I didn’t meet him until the court date, he arrived fully prepared and knowledgeable about my case. He ensured everything went smoothly, resulting in a successful outcome. After the hearing, he took the time to follow up with me, answer any remaining questions, and express his gratitude for choosing their firm.
The Hamilton Law Firm is a top-tier team that treats clients with respect, compassion, and appreciation. They make you feel like a valued participant in your case, not just a bystander. For anyone in need of legal representation, I wholeheartedly recommend their services.
Thank you again to the entire Hamilton Law Firm team for your outstanding support!

Looking for legal cancel that is prompt, very attentive to each individual client, very kind and understanding, hire Adams and Luka to fight for you!! I have been through the tiresome process of court many times and based on my experiences with and without legal counsel when you are facing criminal charges or something that is a little more serious than a traffic ticket it is always best to obtain legal council as soon as possible. Never look for the cheapest attorneys because here’s what you can expect: attorneys, who don’t answer the phone when you call them looking for an update on your case, attorneys, who do not update you on your case throughout the process, attorneys who show up late to your court dates and make you look like a fool, or attorneys that call you with the first plea deal at the state offers you and tell you that it’s the best deal you’re gonna get After charging you an arm and a leg for a retainer fee and promising you that they would fight for you tooth and nail.
Well, with Adams and Luka this is not the case for sure when I hired Adams and Luca to take my case, they were very quick to respond with the upmost respect and care that you can provide a customer with, furthermore, they were able to achieve more results in the first day of consultation with them then my previous attorney was able to do in six months, in addition, they were very communicative throughout the process and kept me updated on everything that was going on with my case, I met with my lawyer two weeks after they took my case to discuss the progress and review the case. After about an hour and a half of reviewing the content and discussing the case, the end result was leaving the office, very confident and happy with the choice I made in legal council. I highly recommend these wonderful associates!

This whole law firm is outstanding!!! Make sure you do your legwork, though. The more evidence that support your side will make their lives easier; they will make the best arguments for your case. Not every case can be won, but this firm is hands down, 5.0!
In June 2023, I retained Ms. Benton to represent me for a time-sharing/child custody case…We won that case! Ms. Benton was direct and fair. She was excellent in arguing my case and I was relieved that it worked out in my son’s best interest.
Now, Sept 2024 I was referred their firm’s criminal defense attorney: Tony Nace
I copied this review I left on Tony’s page.
Tony is top notch!! He was straight up with what I was facing if convicted and I was a nervous wreck for the charges being brought against me; the thought of having to go to trial and missing out on my son’s life was detrimental - Tony got my case dismissed almost a week prior to my arraignment. I’m quite speechless on how he does what he does! A total life saver, for sure. Thank You, again!

I was desperate to get the lien document because we are in the process of refinancing our House and it was the only document that I was waiting to close the deal. We paid what we owed but for some reason it took too long to drop the check to their bank to clear up until our Refinance processed got expired and I was so frustrated because we got everything done except the lien document. The person that I spoke to in the phone told me, it was not their fault because they sent the letter awhile ago to let us know what we owed. Very inconsiderate! first of all you don't know what we went through just to survive on this difficult time. It took over a month to processed our payments till now I don't have the lien document yet. I would not recommend this law firm.

I turned to the O'Mara Law Firm after being unhappy with my original divorce attorney and thank goodness I did! Attorney Bert Barclay and his team represented me in my case and I am SO grateful for their support. I was able to come to an agreement with my ex-spouse through mediation and feel that Bert and Sophia, his paralegal, were critical in helping me prepare for my mediation and ultimately helped me win the financial support I needed to move forward with my new life. The mediation wasn't easy, but Bert's experience made me feel protected and he handled my emotions so well. While I never worked with Mark directly, I knew he was also there if needed, well aware of my case, and supportive. I am truly grateful for this group of people and highly recommend turning to them if you need help in your divorce case!

I was dealing with a very complicated Family Law case and found Mr. Spence out of luck. I didn't have much money and when contacting him he made me feel at ease. He stood by me and kept me informed the entire time. I've always gotten the impression that attorneys were all about their bank account. We worked the hiring details out and he committed himself to the entire divorce and child sharing process. My case was appeals multiple times and unfortunately took years to resolve. He never let me down or made me feel he like he was all about the money. He is compassionate and understanding. AND he still takes my calls even though my case is closed. After all of the time and effort he put in - it paid off !!! He is a great attorney. I have sent multiple people his way and I would definitely hire him again!

I hired Cynthia for a child custody case. On the positive side she always responded to my concerns and provided time for my questions. On the negative side I felt that she was just trying to get my case off of her caseload in the fastest way possible by settling. I did not feel that she was willing to fight for my side, as I would expect my lawyer to do.

Mr. Luther has consistently had not been truthful and to his benefit has left out facts that would benefit the case he is on.
No integrity! Mr. Luther does not promote the ethical standards that are held highly of all that practice law. Do not hire him!

Wade represented me in my divorce last year. He did a great job. We had to go to court a few times and he won each time. After that, my ex changed her tune and became a lot more reasonable. We ended being able to settle before the trial. I was very happy with the results. Wade did a great job for me and I would definitely recommend that you use him.

Mr. Luther represented me in my divorce case last year. He really did a great job for me. He has a very calm demeanor and really know his stuff. We had to go to court twice and both times he was outstanding. He was completely prepared and confident. He really related well to the judge and explained our position great. After a few fights in court, my spouse changed his tune and began looking for a settlement. Mr. Luther ultimately negotiated a great settlement for me and we never had to have a full trial. I highly recommend him as he is a great attorney!

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.
