We did a project which included several change orders asked for by the Hicks at his residence . Mr. Hicks, a partner at this law firm , acted very unprofessional, his wife actually contacted my employees via text causing tortious interference with our contracts. While completing his contracts, we found his soil was sub par and full of clay and needed to be remediated. He and his wife practically had temper tantrums causing for an unbelievably unsuitable work environment at his home. Even with their attempts to cause harm to me and my company, we competed the contract. A year later, he claimed that some of the brick pavers moved, I explained to him that he refused to pay to remedy the soil situation and therefore it was not covered by our warranty. He proceeded to use his law degree to sue us, he filed suit for over $24,000.00 which included almost $12,000.00 in new landscaping which was not part of my contract. While delivering the discovery to his house, the driveway which he claimed to have been removed and reinstalled in his lawsuit had the same pavers sinking in the same spot a year after they were supposedly replaced.. if this partnership allows attorneys like this, who use their law license to try to steal from hard working contractors then I would say run away from this firm. They support disgraceful behavior like this from their partners! We just recently went to binding arbitration. The arbiter threw out 99% of his case and awarded him $2300.00, one tenth of what he was fraudulently suing me and my company for!

I am incredibly grateful to have had John Graves as my attorney. From the start, John exhibited professionalism, dedication, and a deep understanding of the law. He took the time to thoroughly explain my case, answer all my questions, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. His attention to detail and strategic approach were invaluable and led to a successful outcome. Beyond his legal expertise, John is personable, compassionate, and always made me feel like a priority. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation. He truly went above and beyond for my case, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the result. Thank you, John, for your outstanding service

Used for mediation. She bragged that she was on council that rejected assumed equal joint custody for fathers in NJ when I was fighting for joint custody. Tried to push me to accept very one sided custody arrangement. Felt like she was adversary attorney rather than neutral mediator. Seems like se is biased against fathers.

MaryAnn Bauer is a biased parenting coordinator. I question her fairness and her ethics. She will carry out many filler meetings to clock in more hours. Four out of five co-parenting issues were articulated structurally to draw excuses for the faults of my adversary. She and my adversary contacted the school without my consent to put a problem with my son's grades because my adversary had already disenrolled our son from remote learning during COVID. My son is an average A to B student. He was distraught that he threatened to fail all classes because he was removed from remote learning. At the same time, all of his peers remained remote. I had to get my lawyer to intervene, and my son was restored to remote learning. MaryAnn could not come up with a valid support for my adversary for denying me the chance to have dinner with my son on his birthday. My adversary was out of state on my son's birthday; the children were left with their grandparents. I formally asked MaryAnn to resign, but she refused, so I am stuck with her unless I pay for a motion to remove her.

I would say , she is an excellent lawyer, with the best knowledge of laws. Before meeting her I was very anxious, nervous about my case and my child custody. After she handled my case, I am more than happy, and contended, for my future and satisfied with getting the custody of my child. The lawyer has solved my issues very prudently and realistically. Above all , she is a nice human being,empathetic, listens to the issues, prompt. I had a nice experience with her Definitely, go for her.

I hired Ms. Tulipan some time ago. She seems to be very knowledgeable. However, once she moved from North Bergen to her new office located in West new York - she has lost her touch. Her staff (who used to be the only people I communicated with) changed - became rude and unknowledgeable. they never know anything and Ms. Tulipan is never available and seems lost when we speak now. Her prices are outrageous. For the amount of money I pay, I would think I can at least speak to someone who knows what they are doing.

Glen F. Haley and his staff are wonderful. They assisted me on two different occasions/legal matters related to family law. They are extremely knowledgeable about all areas of the law, they are always professional, return my calls and emails in a timely fashion and get the job done. Glen and his team always made me feel at ease and comfortable in two very difficult situations. I have referred everyone I know that needs a family lawyer to Glen and his firm. I can wholeheartedly say they are the best in what they do. Divorce, custody issues, child support etc. are not easy situations for anyone. It is stressful, unpleasant and at times heartbreaking. Again, Glen and his staff, walk you through the whole process with empathy, kindness and understanding. Remaining professional at all times. I know his office is a very busy one, yet they manage to make you feel as if you and your case are their main priority at all times. If you need a great law firm, I highly recommend Mr. Glen F. Haley and his team of professionals.

Mr. Haley was recommended to me by a coworker. I am grateful to her and him for all of his help. After taking the time to listen to my troubles and the unfair settlement I agreed to when I was first divorced, Mr. Haley took my case, was extremely reasonable in terms of cost and helped me to successfully acquire some much needed changes to my settlement agreement. I am forever grateful to Mr. Haley and so are my children. I highly recommend him if you are seeking someone to help you with marital/divorce issues. He's an atty who stands up for his clients and that is just what I needed.

Mr. Dunn answered our many questions about how underage drinking could adversely affect our teens. He also addressed the legal consequences for parents who allow or encourage their children and other children to drink in their house or on their property. He was clear, concise, professional, and is obviously an expert in his field. His experience with these issues and his compassion for his clients was evident.

You'd hire the best heart surgeon, I'd count on Bob Dunn if I needed the best attorney. In a critical situation, his years of experience can make a major difference in the outcomes. Bob consulted with our parents group on issues with teen drinking, parents hosting, and the consequences. He opened our eyes about our responsibilities and how we can help our teens stay safe. He's a great speaker and his presentation made a real impact. All parents and teens should hear what he has to say and benefit from his knowledge. He shared his experience so that we wouldn't have to hire him if the future. That's a great attorney.

Bob Dunn has served as my legal counsel for over 20 years from everything from personal injury to a huge civil suit which was thrown mistakenly at me. He is a true gentleman of the courtroom, has a 100 percent effective rate, I have sent over 2 dozen clients through the past 20 years to him and he has always treated them with respect, kindness and has been 100 percent satisfactory to me and everyone I have sent to him. You won't find anyone more knowledgeable in law or anyone as good at knowing the law then Robert Dunn. I use Bob for all of my needs including my business and I am 100 percent satisfied.

Thank you, DENNIS SHLIONSKY and DANIELLE! This is the second time Dennis represented me, and I couldn’t be more thankful. Right when we were about to settle my first case, I got into another minor accident that made my neck pain even worse. The insurance company tried to brush it off as a simple fender bender, but Dennis didn’t let them get away with it. Even though I had surgery after the first accident and the MRI showed my herniation had shrunk, Dennis fought tooth and nail to make sure I got every dollar I deserved. Dennis isn’t just an incredible lawyer, he’s a genuinely good person. He listens, cares, and follows through on everything he promises. There were times I needed to reach him on weekends or late at night, and he always picked up the phone, no questions asked. He made sure my medical bills were taken care of and never let the insurance company push me around. Dennis truly saved the day and got me all the money I was owed. If you need a lawyer who’s relentless and also has your back, Dennis is the one. He’s hands-down the best.

It was a mess, but Dennis and his team took care of everything. They explained the whole process clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure the responsible parties were held accountable.

Mr. Paul Uhlik represented me in a confusing, extraordinary case in Passaic County, NJ. I was the defendant and he was assigned to me to be my Public Defender. Only hearing not such great reviews regarding Public Defenders, I was concerned he wouldn't fight for me as hard as a Criminal Defense attorney would, but I was unable to afford one. My misconceived notions about PDs was way off because Mr. Uhlik worked diligently on my case. He was vigilant and very kind, he listened to my long explanations regarding the Plaintiff and how this woman was only seeking to rattle me by filing false Complaints against me, and another family member of mine. Today all charges against me were dismissed; I'm glad it's all behind me now, as well as behind my family. Thank you very much, Mr. Uhlik. I will recommend your legal services to anyone I know if in the future someone is needing Legal Representation. You are very gentleman-like, you're patient and understanding, you are valued as an attorney, and I just want to say Thank You very much! 5 Stars!

Mr. Anderl was hired to represent my brother. He did not call any witnesses, which were available. Failed to conduct a proper investigation and did not cross examine witness. Any first year lawyer or even public defender would have had this case dismissed. He admittedly did not open my brother’s file until the date of trial. He failed to file any pre-trial motions to suppress evidence. Because of his incompetence my brother got a 30 year sentence . Please do not hire. He doesn’t deserve that one star, 0 and negative numbers were not an option.

I don't have words to describe how amazing this firm is. Lenny represented me during my divorce process and was absolutely amazing. He was attentive, always responsive and did what no other attorney on earth would do, he showed immense sensitivity towards the emotions that ran me during that difficult time. Lenny taught me to not let my feelings cloud my judgement, and to look at the case objectively. Not only was he an absolutely amazing attorney who fought for everything I requested, but he genuinely cares. No case is just "another case". He treats each individual case with care for your outcome both monetarily, emotionally and mentally. Regarding pricing this law firm was EXTREMELY FAIR! One thing as a business owner I've learned is that "cheap work isn't good ,and good work isn't cheap". And this firm did AMAZING work and did not overprice like every other firm would. I was faced with losing assets among other things and Lenny defended me and honestly saved my life! Lenny was a true Mensch. If I am stupid enough to marry someone with as many red flags a second time around, I would gladly be a return customer!!

This review is being written anonymously for the public however the fraud individual who posted the five star, lengthy review, knows EXACTLY who this review is being written by. To begin, the purpose of this review is to inform and alert the public, and to expose richard labbe for the DISINGENUOUS, FRAUD, DISHONEST, "drunk" with "power, Extremely EGOTISTICAL, SPITEFUL, MALICIOUS, IMMATURE & UNPROFESSIONAL, school administrator, that he is. In an article written and published online by staff writer Matthew Sockol, on June 27, 2017, "The Sayreville Board of Education has renewed the contract of the district's Superintendent of Schools for four years. On June 13, the board voted 5 -3 to renew the contract of Superintendent richard labbe ( name typed in lower case intentionally) from July 1 through June 30, 2018. Board Vice President Phyllis Batko and Thomas Biesiada voted NO. Board member Lucy Bloom was absent. According to district administrators, labbe will receive a salary of $196, 584 for 2017-218; $200,516.00 for 2018 -2019; $204,526.00 for 2019 -2020; and $208, 617.00 for 2020 -2021" HENCE his five star review of this law firm. The superintendent is led by greed and guided by his deep hidden insecurities and mental flaws. There is No care for the students of the school district which he has been allowed to "run" The only care he has is keeping his pockets lined with HARD WORKING TAX PAYERS DOLLARS which funds his nearly half a million dollar home. After My first hand dealings with this HIGHLY INCOMPETENT Money Hungry, fragile ego possessing male, I understand clearly why his reappointment in 2017 was WITH OBJECTION. Of course he will write and publish a five star lengthy review of the law firm that has had to represent and defend his plethora of FLAWS in his tenure and INCOMPETENCIES which have led to the School District being sued. For the public who have read and will read richard labbe's review, I will state this, do NOT TRUST A WORD he has written. It's BIAS and he has been paid very well to write his review. If you are an educated parent, who is involved in your child's education, and you stand up and advocate for what is in the BEST INTEREST OF YOUR CHILD, richard labbe WILL attack you and INTENTIONALLHY WEAPONIZE the local police precinct against you in his sick power drunk effort to ruin your name and try to take away your freedom. One can see clearly, that the nickname for this mentally deluded individual, DEFINITELY SUITS him 1000% The law firm that as represented richard labbe, has served as his enabler; permitting him to go UNSCATHED for his plethora of CRIMES AGAINST YOUNG INNOCENT STUDENTS = THE FUTURE of This WORLD. The nickname for the name richard, is _____________ #NoWonder Go figure.

On initial meetings she claimed she would fight for me, but what she did instead was cut deals with my abusive ex-souse’s lawyers (her former colleagues, definitely conflict of interest), and charge me through the nose for the simplest tasks. Her paralegal was rude and dismissive. They both allowed my souse continued free access to my home, where he continued to verbally abuse and harass me even though he was living with his mistress. When I became deathly I’ll with COVID (double pneumonia), she continually sent me messages that were all about his sides’ wishes and pressure for next steps; meanwhile, I was barely able to function. She was going to allow his side to. cheat me out of my rightful share of the marital home after 16 years of marriage and allow no alimony even though I had proof of his infidelity. She treated me like I was a crazy person and like I was the liar, but all in a condescending, phony way. After the trauma of the marriage, she further traumatized me by not having my back and draining my bank account. Worst lawyer experience of my life. I cut her loose just in time for the case to get moving and tackle my needs.

If I could leave negative stars for this firm, I would. This law firm is working on behalf of Kensington Court Condominiums to remove my sick and mentally incapacitated grandmother from her home. William H. Brosha' Esquire, and the entire law firm are trying to unethically remove my grandmother from her home. He and his team have caused my grandmother epileptic and panic attacks from the stress of losing her home which she has been in for the last 2 decades. We make our payments, and have an agreement with the bank to keep the home. Despite this, William and his team of demon vultures are trying to still remove her from her home. We keep trying to settle with the firm, but they refuse. These greedy parasites wont take any offer no matter how high. If you can avoid this firm like the plague please do. They are in the business of teaming with house associations to remove teannants they personally dont like. Last time I checked, how you feel about someone does not give you the right to remove them from their home.

Angela Scafuri, I was referred to her by a retiring attorney. It was the best possible turn of events for me. She listened attentively and non-judgmentally to my issue and to my hesitations. Her responses showed that she immediately understood the issue and me. Angela presented insightful points that I need to know even before we formally began. She tenaciously defended my interests even as I faltered. Low pressure with me but unrelenting aggressive with my Ex. So much so that she was referred to as the “shark”. I knew I needed a lawyer. I didn’t realize I how much I needed a “defender”. Luckily, I had followed the reference to her.

Savy Grant is smart to some extent, but I must emphaze that she Is too rushy. Her choices in Court are bad. She smiled when she got Probation for a client, but you don't smile when a Judge is doing something that he wasn't going to do in the beginning. She kept Discovery away from me, after repeated requests. I ended up pleading guilty to one charge that I didn't even do. The other two I did though. Communication is minimal. Bad Lawyer.

She will find a way to keep your money , I was selling my property but the sale fell through before going to closing . I asked for a partial refund multiple times for few weeks and kept getting the run around until she finally told me that you get nothing . not to mention it takes forever to get anything accomplished . It was a terrible experience

Savy is awesome. I’ve been a PPE broker since March 2020. I was unable to close transactions. Every time my deals went a2a, I never knew what was happening, and the deal would never close. Something had to change. Another broker group recommended her, and our group decided to use her as well. Instead of submitting our orders to the Seller’s brokers or Seller’s attorney, we now submit our docs to Savy, and she takes care of the rest. She verifies the buyer, works with buyers attorney to revise the as needed. She also works with the buyers banker to verify funds prior to submitting the order to the Sellers attorney. she’s present at every a2a. She knows all the players involved, and she made all the difference! Thank you Savy !!!

I am incredibly grateful to have had John Graves as my attorney. From the start, John exhibited professionalism, dedication, and a deep understanding of the law. He took the time to thoroughly explain my case, answer all my questions, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. His attention to detail and strategic approach were invaluable and led to a successful outcome. Beyond his legal expertise, John is personable, compassionate, and always made me feel like a priority. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation. He truly went above and beyond for my case, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the result. Thank you, John, for your outstanding service

My husband and I hired Jacqueline in 2013 to emancipate two of his adult children (from his previous marriage). Jacqueline went above and beyond our expectations. She got the courts to emancipate not only his two adult children we had requested, but also had his third adult child emancipated. It was a difficult case to say the least yet Jacqueline persevered and we won on all angles. We are now hiring Jacqueline again to prepare him for his retirement . We would highly recommend Jacqueline (and Tanya) as they are worth their weight in gold!

I am so grateful for the advice, counsel, direction, representation, encouragement, and faith that I received from Kimberly Greenfield, ESQ and the Musulin Law Firm. Kim went toe to toe with the most expensive Divorce lawyer in South Jersey and fought tirelessly for me to keep custody of my kids and everything else that was important to me. She carefully guided me through the struggles of Custodial Interference and in the end, she was the only one left in the ring. She is wise beyond her years and a big reason why the next chapter of my life will be a happy one.

Very disappointed in dealing with Mary, since November something simple that needed to be taken care has yet been submitted per courthouse. She continues to tell me it has been submitted but NO PROOF. This is something that needed action ASAP! She has helped me 6 yrs ago and did amazing job. Not sure the issue with a simple task. Very sad now I need to call another lawyer because I do not know the status. Just been FRUSTRATING!!

Ms. Zoschak did not do discovery, did not prepare for my MESP and refused to talk to me about the panels conclusion. I was not told until after it already started that I couldn’t attend. She was supposed to call me right afterwards, but never did. I called and emailed her for 9 days until I finally went down to her office. She wasn’t in. She never is. Another lawyer called her and told me while she was on the phone that it wasn’t a good deal and not to take it. Jen didn’t even have the decency to talk to me herself because she knew she messed up, big time! After that I pleaded with her to at least get my rightful amount of child support. She lead me on for months, but never actually applied. I’ve lost out on thousands of dollars of support. I make 1/5 the income my husband does. I have a permanent restraining order against him and she refused to help me get my support and also refused to get him to pay the kids court ordered medical bills. My children’s primary doctor refuses to see them since his share of the balance is so outstanding. Jen doesn’t care that my kids and I are struggling. I wanted a lawyer who would fight for me. She won’t even return my phone calls or emails. Jen let me down. I would have been better off representing myself.

Jennifer was an amazing legal resource and a tremendous source of support. She listened to all of my concerns, addressed each of them, talked me through the pro's and con's of all actions, and then executed our plan just as we had discussed. I would recommend her to anyone who is going through a tough situation: domestic violence or divorce.

Jennifer is the most caring lawyer I have ever had the priveledge of knowing. Going through a divorce was the hardest thing I ever had to do and I know I couldn't have gotten through it without her. Jennifer makes sure that you are always informed with what is going on, she is very prompt in answering back phone calls and will go the extra mile for you. She is open and honest and looks out for your best interests. She made sure everything was done as promptly and accurately as possible, she never made me feel uncomfortable about anything. I couldn't thank her enough for everything that she has done for me. When you go through a divorce your emotions are all over the place and she understood that, and was very patient and caring with what was going on. She will make sure you get the best legal advice possible!

This is my second lawyer and I regret not picking her years ago. I’ve been in a battle with my ex for over a year. My case is extremely difficult and has a lot of pieces to it. Rebecca listened to every detail and was able to direct me properly. She explained everything in English and was extremely patient. She really looks out for your best interest. She won’t steer you wrong. From the first conversation I had with her, she made me feel safe for once. Prior to her I was robbed by another lawyer who put me in a worse situation than I was before. Rebecca is not only confident but she carry’s herself with class, yet aggressive for the fight. I was extremely anxious prior to my CS hearing. Literally in tears and extremely anxious. She reassured me that everything was going to be ok and it was. I’ve never felt this safe with anyone in a long time. She made sure that my voice was heard and I was going to win my case. Although we still have more work to do, I will always choose her. I’ve recommended her to several friends too because of how amazing she is. I trust her with my life.

I went to Rebecca in March 2021 for an issue of recovering Child Support arrears. I had a phone consultation (re; COVID) where she outlined what my options were & the steps she recommended to take to to recover the arrears. Her office staff emailed me a retainer agreement which i signed & paid. As agreed, she wrote a letter to my ex-husband that struck the exact tone and tenor I was looking for to motivate him to become current on his child support. Rebecca was very responsive to my follow up emails and i was successful in my recovery. Only con was the billing process... I never received a 1st bill which included the drafting of the letter. In fairness, the postal service hasn't had a stellar performance in my neighborhood during/since COVID. In any event , once I received the 2nd months bill, I was able to figure out the cost of the letter ($300.00). Rebecca is calm, professional, honest and polite. I feel she was an active listener and heard my concerns.I easily give Rebecca my highest recommendation.

Well, I can't say enough about this lawyer. After seeing a higher priced lawyer, with NO 'bedside manner' we were referred to Rebecca by a friend. From the first 5 minutes in speaking with her we knew we had our lawyer. She listened and was patient and empathetic. We needed to answer these questions that were very in depth. She then wrote her OWN questions to fire back and they were SO great! After submitting those questions...the opposing party was then willing to negotiate. Again, she is beyond helpful and very thorough. This is the ONLY lawyer I will speak to in the future. It's too bad you can only give 5 stars because I would give 100!

What a Domestic Violence Lawyer Can Do for You

A domestic violence lawyer provides legal assistance to individuals involved in cases of domestic abuse, whether you are a victim seeking protection or someone accused of domestic violence defending against the charges. These lawyers help with obtaining restraining orders (protective orders), representing clients in criminal court, and handling related family law issues such as child custody, divorce, and visitation rights.

If you are dealing with domestic violence, a lawyer can help protect your rights and navigate the legal system to ensure your safety or defend you if you’re falsely accused.

When Should I Hire a Domestic Violence Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a domestic violence lawyer if you are:

  • A Victim of Domestic Violence:
    • Filing for a protective order (restraining order): If you need immediate protection from an abuser, a lawyer can help you file for a protective order, which legally requires the abuser to stay away from you and refrain from contacting you.
    • Divorce or separation due to abuse: If domestic violence is a factor in your relationship, a lawyer can help you pursue a divorce or legal separation and ensure that you are protected throughout the process.
    • Child custody and visitation issues: A lawyer can help you secure custody of your children and limit or restrict the abuser’s visitation rights to protect the safety of your children.
    • Filing criminal charges: If you are pursuing criminal charges against the abuser, a domestic violence lawyer can work with law enforcement and prosecutors to ensure the case is handled properly.
    • Assistance with safety planning: A lawyer can advise on the legal steps to create a safety plan, including securing temporary housing, and taking steps to protect you and your family.
  • Accused of Domestic Violence:
    • Defending against criminal charges: If you’ve been accused of domestic violence, a lawyer can defend your case, challenge the evidence, and represent you in court. If possible, the lawyer can help get charges reduced or dismissed.
    • Challenging a restraining order: If someone has obtained a protective order against you, a lawyer can help you contest the order to prevent it from negatively impacting your life, including your employment and child custody rights.
    • Dealing with family law issues: Domestic violence allegations can affect child custody, divorce, and property division. A lawyer can represent your interests in family court and ensure that your parental rights are protected.
    • Avoiding criminal record implications: A lawyer can work to minimize the impact of the allegations on your record, which can affect your employment, housing, and future legal matters.

Hiring a lawyer at the earliest stages can help ensure your rights are protected and the case is handled effectively, whether you are seeking protection or defending against accusations.

What Does a Domestic Violence Lawyer Do?

A domestic violence lawyer provides various legal services depending on the specifics of your case. These responsibilities often include:

  • For Victims:
    • Filing for protective orders: A lawyer can help victims of domestic violence obtain temporary or permanent restraining orders, which provide legal protection by restricting the abuser’s access to you and your children.
    • Representing you in divorce and child custody matters: Domestic violence often leads to divorce or separation, and a lawyer can represent you in family court to protect your assets, secure custody of your children, and arrange spousal and child support.
    • Criminal representation: Lawyers work with law enforcement and prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against the abuser, ensuring that you are informed and supported throughout the legal process.
    • Safety planning and legal advice: Lawyers provide advice on how to stay safe legally and can assist in securing temporary housing, providing guidance on how to leave abusive situations safely.
  • For the Accused:
    • Defending against charges: A lawyer will build a defense by investigating the case, gathering evidence, and challenging the claims made against you. If necessary, the lawyer can negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges or penalties.
    • Challenging protective orders: If a restraining order has been placed against you, a lawyer can contest the order and present evidence to defend against it, aiming to minimize its impact on your life and reputation.
    • Handling related family law issues: Lawyers help defend against domestic violence allegations in divorce, child custody, and visitation disputes, working to protect your parental rights and reputation.
    • Preventing long-term consequences: A lawyer will work to protect you from the long-term consequences of a domestic violence conviction, such as a criminal record that could affect employment, housing, and more.

How Are Domestic Violence Lawyers Paid?

Domestic violence lawyers generally charge for their services in different ways depending on the case's complexity and the type of legal work involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Many domestic violence lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location. Hourly rates are common for both criminal defense and family law matters.
  • Flat fee: For specific tasks, such as filing a restraining order or defending against a straightforward domestic violence charge, some lawyers offer a flat fee that covers all legal work related to that service.
  • Retainer: In complex cases, such as those involving criminal charges, divorce, and custody disputes, a lawyer may require a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
  • Pro bono or reduced fees: Some domestic violence lawyers provide pro bono (free) or reduced-fee services to victims of domestic abuse who cannot afford legal representation.

It’s important to discuss fees during your consultation to ensure you understand how much your case will cost and what payment options may be available.

How Much Does a Domestic Violence Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a domestic violence lawyer depends on the complexity of your case, the lawyer’s experience, and the type of legal work required. General cost estimates include:

  • Restraining orders: The legal fees for filing a protective or restraining order typically range from $500 to $2,500, depending on whether the case requires a hearing.
  • Criminal defense: If you’re defending against domestic violence charges, legal fees may range from $2,500 to $15,000 or more, depending on whether the case goes to trial and the severity of the charges.
  • Family law issues: Legal fees for divorce, child custody, and other family law issues related to domestic violence can range from $3,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
  • Hourly rates: Domestic violence lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour for their services, with more experienced lawyers charging higher rates.

Always ask for a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to understand the total cost of legal services.

Top Questions to Ask a Domestic Violence Lawyer

Before hiring a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the right experience and approach for your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with domestic violence cases?
    Ensure that the lawyer has handled domestic violence cases similar to yours, whether you’re a victim or the accused.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, flat fees, or a retainer, and ask for a detailed cost estimate.
  3. What is the likely outcome of my case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and expected outcomes.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Domestic violence cases vary in length, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what might cause delays.
  5. Will I need to appear in court?
    Ask if your participation in court is required, and how the lawyer plans to represent you during hearings or trials.
  6. What steps should I take to protect myself or my rights?
    Whether you’re a victim seeking protection or defending against allegations, ask the lawyer how they will help you navigate the situation.

How to Check the Credibility of a Domestic Violence Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable domestic violence lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:

  • Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for domestic violence experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in domestic violence cases and have successfully handled cases like yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients say about their experience with the lawyer.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have been involved in domestic violence cases.
  • Check for memberships in relevant organizations: Look for certifications or memberships in family law or domestic violence advocacy groups, such as the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV).

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • For Victims:
    • Details of the abuse: Prepare a detailed account of the abuse, including dates, locations, and descriptions of any injuries or threats.
    • Police reports and medical records: Bring copies of any police reports, medical records, or photographs that document the abuse.
    • Legal filings: If you have already filed for a restraining order or been involved in any legal proceedings, bring copies of those documents.
    • Questions about your safety and legal options: Be ready to ask about the best steps to protect yourself and your family, as well as what legal actions you should pursue.
  • For the Accused:
    • Details of the allegations: Prepare a detailed account of the incident or allegations against you, including any evidence or witnesses that support your defense.
    • Legal documents: Bring any legal documents you have received, such as a restraining order, criminal charges, or child custody filings.
    • Questions about your defense: Prepare questions about the legal process, possible penalties, and how the lawyer plans to defend your case.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation and provide the best possible legal advice.
