I highly recommend Justice Law Firm. My experience with Tracey Justice was outstanding. I was going through a very difficult time in my life and her legal advice and firm services helped me tremendously. She was professional, but personal and caring, and her experience level with the issues I was facing carried me through the process with confidence and clarity each step of the way. The experience I had with her staff was the same. I like to ask a lot of questions and appreciated the way I was given complete and accurate legal advice with every question so that I felt confident and assured in all my decisions. But equally important, the answers to questions that I didn't know to ask were fully revealed and explained in a way that made the process better than expected. No one wants to be involved in a legal case, but if you find yourself there, you will have confidence and peace of mind with the Justice Law Firm on your side.

Al has been great from the first steps of this process all the way through. His knowledge is vast and has helped us greatly. He explains things completely and always asks if we understand and what questions we have for him.
At no time did he make us feel embarrassed or ashamed due to our situation. His empathy during the most difficult financial time of our adult life has kept us from going completely mad.
We appreciate everything he has done for us and highly recommend his service.

We honestly just appreciate all of the help Al provided us during this time. Our situation was definitely unique and not ideal. Without hesitation, he took on our case and successfully navigated it to completion. This was important to us because others had turned us away. He listened and answered all our questions or concerns. He thoroughly prepared us for our creditor meeting. His system of uploading all needed documents was efficient. We overall appreciate his services and glad we circled back to him. Thanks Al for all your help.

She called me because I was refereed her by a aid service, Im 20 this is my first marriage, so it’s my FIRST divorce ! I called confused and asking for help because I don't know the first thing about getting a divorce, I explained to Ms. Rita M Boyd this was my first time and Im confused on the whole process she proceeds to ask me because I'm so confused “Am I on medication?” what a wonderful thing to ask a grieving WOMEN going through a
DIVORCE with a child ! 0/10 wont help if you don't know much about getting a divorce ! STAY AWAY !
Edit: You gave me the aid website I had previously called and I stated that to you !
I didnt pay a consultation fee because YOU called me asking what I needed help with and I told you I needed help with a divorce and you spoke me like I had 0 sense from jump, so I explained to you that I knew nothing about the divorce process, and you said “Might I ask how old you are” because I stated I was confused, You said you would help with the paper work but wont show up to court with me ! Why would you do paper work but not come to court with me for 1,500 ? Before I hung up you asked if I was on medication, and my mom who has waaaay more tolerance than me, hung up on your unprofessional, rude, behind. You have a angry soul and I pray no one goes to you !

The initial conversation sounded very promising. The next two months seemed like a completely different experience so much that I decided to go another route before my actual court date. First in two months she never tried to setup a meeting or phone call to get the proper paperwork/proof related to the case on my behalf, one week out I was messaging her like “Hey we need to meetup to get you all this paperwork so I’m not going in there empty handed”. Also after being counter sued, I messaged her about this and her response was “ok” and “you didn’t hire me for that new case” basically saying it has nothing to do with her and proceeds to send me another retainer bill.
I told her to call me trying to figure out how to get her my paperwork and what else I would need for court and she HUNG UP IN MY FACE! Which is why I ultimately fired her on top of not being prepared! Causing me to spend even more on a new attorney in less than a week before court date!
So fast forward to now: All she has done on my behalf was file the papers to initiate my case, $601. Which was written with some errors, also my Ex was served improperly as per the judge so technically she could have not shown up on the court date and there was nothing I could’ve done about that! Never spoke with me about our plan, never got any paperwork or statements from me, was released prior to going to court. When asked for a billing statement and the remainder of my retainer, first she states “she can’t talk to me” when in fact she can when it’s related to billing and not the case/legal advice itself. She then tells me she is not going to reimburse my remaining retainer of $5k and that I actually will owe her a balance.
I wish I followed my gut when I read her reviews from other men online, she sounded a lot more professional and on top of things on the phone during our consultation. She may be better for women, men look elsewhere!
Update Aug 16,2024:
Rita proceeded to reply to this same review on FACEBOOK and call me a liar posting “Lies and More Lies” as her response! She literally messaged me twice and called me twice to ask me to take the review down because “It will post everywhere if it’s left up for too long!” I REPLIED “Refund me properly and we can talk about it”. This call was ended when she stated she had a call she had been waiting for. Screen shots below, since I’m a “liar!”, would she be calling and texting me if I was “Just lying on her!”
She is bad business! Please stay away from her! I’m giving her, her 30days to bill and refund me or I will be reporting her to Texas Bar and taking her to Small Claims court! I initially gave 2 stars, since being called a liar I dropped it to 1 star!
She literally calls every person that gives her a bad review a liar! Go look at her reviews for yourself.
Update Aug 20, 2024
And now she is blatantly lying and making up random statements under review to make her self not look like she is the problem stating “Didn’t send her an email address for her to do her job”…you mean the email that I sent her when I paid her initial retainer or the entire form I filled out with all of my information as well as my sons mothers, the day I hired her! This lady is very crooked and keeps getting worse. I’m just waiting my 30days to get my billing statement and return of my retainer or we’ll be in small claims court and I’ll be making a claim on her with the bar! All my emails and her blatant lying under this review will be submitted on her when we go to court if I don’t receive 50% of my retainer back. She hasn’t ceased to amaze me how unprofessional and bad business she continues to be.
Update Sept 3,2024:
After asking for my bill and remaining retainer for past few weeks I was forced to have to ask her again to complete our business. She tried to bargain removing this review vs completing our business appropriately. When I didn’t agree She ultimately said my $5k retainer was gone and that I actually had a $6k balance and she wouldn’t try and get the balance if I removed my review.
Bad business please stay away.

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.
