I had almost lost custody of my Son but Shamika was able to prove to the courts that I was an outstanding mother who had just been through a rough spot in my life. She was very professional and extremely caring. I would recommend her to anyone who is in a unique situation as mine.

Working with Mrs. Sookdeo was a valuable experience. She's not one to sugar-coat anything, unlike a other attorneys. I really appreciated her attention to detail and her ability provide an honest and well formulated opinion. She greatly aided me in my child's custody case, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone seeking a reliable, intelligent and thoughtful attorney.

Shumika is an amazing attorney. She is not out to do anyone dirty or lie about anything. She was very honest with me and I was with her. She had great communication with me during my whole divorce case. Even when my ex's attorney failed to even educate themselves on the case and attempted to play dirty pool, Shumika stood her ground on what was right and didn't stoop to their level. Shumika and I were a team on everything, working together like a well oiled machine. I recommend her to anyone in need of an attorney. Hopefully i never need her services ever again but i know where to go if i do. Thanks again Shumika!

When I was charged with possession of a gun in California. I didn't know who to call me being from out state. I found Greg in a google search I didn't have a lot of money he worked with me and I was able to retain his services. Greg is one awesome Lawyer he got my felony charges dismissed and got me a Plea bargain for a single Misdemeanor charge and one year Summary probation. I am so glad I found Greg. I highly recommend Greg H Comings give him a call you'll be glad you did.

Let me start off by saying Greg is definitely one of the best lawyers I've ever worked with. After receiving my 3rd Dui I knew I was in big trouble but Greg assured me everything would be okay. Court went much better than I expected & I'm happy to say I just completed all my court required classes. Thank you so much Mr. Comings you have no idea how much you've helped me.

Being a teacher, I deal with unprofessionalism on a daily basis..when my brother got himself in trouble, the last thing I wanted was more stress. Greg is a very professional and down to earth man whom I had the pleasure of working with to help my brother. He knows the law very well, and won't beat around the bush. My brother was facing prison but Greg got us a great deal. I can't think of anyone better to aid you in your lawful quarry.

Im extremely grateful to have hired Charles from Greenberg and Greenberg. Charles was very straight forward, assertive,patient and helpful. He didn't beat around the bush just to get more money out of you. He say's it how it is and how its going to get done. Charles and the team gave me the best outcome and what I wanted.

He always kept my mind calm and showed the up most respect. Thank you.

Charles was a true professional handling my family law / removing support case. Even though he's said his strength was in criminal law he handled this for me and was a complete success in achieving my goals. He was priced right and I felt a true level of honesty and compassion for resolving my case.
I would recommend Charles in a minute and in the event I am ever in need of attorney his number is at the top of my list.

Then BEST man to have on your side and I highly recommend Charles Kenyon. I gave him a call because I had tried talking to A LOT of law offices, I felt that no other offices were giving me any positive feedback nor were they returning my calls. Charles was the only one that would worked with me on traveling all the way to joshua tre, ca and gave me the faith I needed because he knows the law and he was so professional and I would not have anybody else besides Charles Kenyon. Hope anyone whose looking for justice to have your back, to go see Charles.

Mr Joe Galasso,
This man was a God send for my daughterscase, he is Absolutely Awesome, he new exactly what our case involved new the steps and he was very honest in telling us what the possibilities were if it didn't go the way we wanted. So we new the win ant lose of the case no surprises. But the honesty what was the most Important to us, he was very honest and upfront, and he gave us time to pay just before court was due. I had spoken to other lawyers but the moment I said I needed to pay 3 payments of 500, they didn't want to help me , but Joe offered, very kind and Generous. He made us feel confident, comfortable, So highly appreciated and WE RECOMMEND JOE , Thank you Joe so much, and we will be in contact very soon for Expunging, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOLKS , HONEST AND UPFRONT AND HE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU , THANK YOU JOE GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS

We hired Mr. Galasso 10 years ago for my husbands criminal case, he was amazing. Got my husband the absolute best deal. When in all reality it wasnt looking good at all. I highly, HIGHLY recommend Mr. Galasso.

Mr. Galasso was very compassionate from the very moment that I spoke to him on the phone. I explained to him how I was having anxiety with court (trying to get community service hours extended) and how my current public defender is very rude and lacks patience. Mr. Galasso put my mind at ease, and can work with your budget...if my current public defender continues to have a sour attitude towards me, I'm going to hire Mr. Galasso because he seems to be more professional, patient, and caring. He looks at his clients as individuals and cares about their situations. I definitely recommend Mr. Galasso!

Well where do I start? Happy that this process is finally over...😮💨.. It's been 7 years and 2 lawyer's. Glad that I ended my journey with Raj, Rita, and Denise... If it wasn't them working hard on my case this outcomes wouldn't have turned out the exact way I wanted it to. Yea we had our moments where we we're both in the heat of the moment, but at the end of the day we stuck through things and couldn't have asked for a better outcome... Thanks Raj it's been a pleasure working with you... Thank you for the hard fight you had for me and my family. Thank you Raj Rita and Denise blessings your way...

Wow where do I begin? My husband was hurt doing his job and It’s been a 7 year roller coaster from Hell ever since. Dealing with the workers comp Doctors was a joke , they don’t care about you . He went through two attorneys with the second one being Raj Patel . The moment we signed with RP Law Group we felt confident as they began sending my husband out to different doctors in our area and we actually felt the ball was rolling. Even though the ball was rolling it still was a long process due to the insurance company dragging their feet the whole time . Our youngest was a baby when this whole thing started and now she’s in second grade ! We can finally say it’s over and move on with our lives. My Husband signed his settlement papers yesterday ! Thank you to Raj and his staff at RP Law Group for dealing with my stressed out , pissed off husband at times . Raj , Denise and Rita I thank you for everything .

Please excuse my brother review (Travis Betts) it's not true at all he's a good lawyer and definitely not racist at all that's a lie. I know myself because he helped me get the best deal I could ever had. I love my brother but he has a bad attitude and needs to listen. If I was to ever need a lawyer again i would definitely go with Mr. Donath. I'm sorry for my brother's review keep up the good work God bless u 🙏🏼

From the beginning Mr. Lin was exceptional in every facet you can be as an attorney. He represented me in a murder trial and won me my freedom. Throughout the process he was very personable with my family as well as myself. He not only believed in me and my case but went above and beyond to be prepared for my trial. Not only was he attentive to detail but always maintained open and honest communication with me. I can’t say enough about his professionalism and knowledge of the law. He never once swayed from his conviction that I was innocent but explored all of my options with me and told me he’d go in the direction that I wished. He was the only attorney that came to visit me and represented me from the beginning of my case through the end of my trial. I’m blessed to have been able to have him as an attorney and come to know him as a person. If I find myself in any legal trouble in the future I wouldn’t have any other attorney represent me.

I hired Mr. Bratton after being referred by my sister. She was very pleased with his services so I decided to set up a consultation with him. Bill was upfront with me from the very begging. I appreciated his honesty, understanding and his attentiveness to my concerns. He was very thorough in documenting every conversation and was quick to advise me on how to handle my ex. Being a father of three young daughters, I expected to fight an uphill battle with custody. Bill fought for me and got me what I deserved...50% custody!! He was there through my entire divorce process which included division of all assets, child custody, pension and retirements. Through the 2 1/2 year process, he made sure I was prepared for all court hearings and mediation, he returned all phone calls and emails in a timely manner and he made me feel that he sincerely cared about my case. Bill is worth every penny I spent.

I am a 47 old divorced dad with a 6-year-old lovely daughter. My ex-wife filed for a divorce about a year and a half ago claiming for full legal and physical custody over our daughter. We had been married for 17 years owning real estate and had my own business.
I was just like anybody else panicked and I asked my friend to help to find the best attorney to representing me. I was told to call Bratton Razo Lord family law firm. Now my case is over and I could not be happier with the result.
I unfortunately had to deal with the spouse who thought that because she is the mom so she can do and say anything. Besides that she accused me with almost anything just to win the case.
Mr. Razo was a big relief since start.I felt so confident with him. He was always calm and focused. He always explained the situation and always had a plan to take care of the incoming attacks. Mr. Razo is young, but with the skill and logic like not too many attorneys have these days. My case had involved with the 730 evaluation.
Court hearing after hearing Mr. Razo always been a step ahead of my ex’s attorney. Unfortunately negotiating our agreement with my ex wife was out of question since the start.
Again Mr. Razo is more then an average attorney. He works towards nothing but the best results as possible. After every office meeting with Mr. Razo I felt very positive and hopeful until the final result.
Mr. Razo has an excellent reputation even among attorneys as well. I was witnessing that the other experienced attorney asked his opinion while I was waiting front of the court room.
Anytime I had to make a phone call to the office I was handled very professionally. Emails and messages returned with quickly.
Also like to mention that Elisabeth Lord helped my case once Mr. Razo was not available and she had done an excellent job. Just another big win. She convinced me to see the judge instead of hopelessly dealing with the other parties. I could not believe to my ears the judge ordered the physical custody for me Monday through Friday for the whole 1st grade class for my daughter. HUGE AND RARE WIN!!!!!!!. - Not for Mr. Razo and Elizabeth Lord. Great team work of this law firm!!!!!
I would highly recommend this law firm and especially Mr. Razo and Elizabeth Lord. I rarely leave feedback at all but I feel that I have to do it for Mr. Razo and for the law firm. He has done an AMAZING job for and my life is back and HAPPIER than before.
Thank you Mr.Razo!!!

When I was referred to Mr. Razo by a coworker, I was told he was fair, ethical, and thorough. I immediately found that to be true. Mr. Razo was honest with me the entire time. He always gave me expectations, but he also advised me of the reality and possible outcomes. Mr. Razo did not promise me anything but his full effort to help gain joint custody of my children. I had been divorced for 5 years and had partial custody of my two kids with my ex having primary custody. My Ex-wife moved our children over an hour away from me causing turmoil and hardship for the children. Over the years of fighting for more custody, I was bullied and pushed to back down by my ex’s lawyer. My job and schedule were constantly used against me since I worked 12 hours shifts. Mr. Razo assured me that fathers are equal and we can have equal time and custody of our children. Mr. Razo assisted me in having my ex move back to a central location where we can live in the same town, and I was awarded joint Legal and Physical Custody with the equal time share that I requested with no restrictions due to my work schedule. I could not be happier with Mr. Razo's work. He truly made it his goal to help me win the case, but did so in an ethical way that allowed my ex and I to maintain a good relationship. I highly recommend Michael Razo.

I spoke with attorney Austin for some guidance related to my two years long divorce case. He took his time to answer all of my questions and I felt heard and respected. He even went over the 45 minutes I was allowed and did not charge extra for the extra time. His guidance gave me a newfound perspective which I am hoping will help me finalize my case once and for all. From the moment I first called their office, I have been treated with kindness and respect both by Cheryl and Attorney Austin and they seem to truly care about their clients best interests. I am thankful I found them and would not hesitate to use their services in the future.

He took the case but did nothing to help, he knew the court would rule in alignment the mediators recommendation. He showed up to court and delayed the proceeding by 4 hours to milk the hourly rate. He asked the judge for breaks to talk to me and the other party then started to make request on behalf of the other party. I wish I knew Iim advance he would be of no assistance, money down the drain. The other party made false allegations and scheduled an emergency hearing under false pretenses. Gary's advice be the better parent.

We had 2 evictions going on simultaneously with the Cal-Lawyer firm this month July 2022. One was a complicated case with highly problematic tenants. The Cal-Lawyer firm managed both cases without any issues and yielded a successful and quick restoration of both my properties. The Cal-Lawyer managing attorney and all staff I worked with were very efficient, professional, and highly knowledgeable in their field. I would highly recommend the managing attorney Daniel Tripathi and all Cal-Lawyer staff for your legal counsel you will be highly satisfied with the end results.

Paul Grech not only fought for me every step of the way through my case, but he also genuinely took an interest in me and my struggle. He is a compassionate man who cares deeply for those he represents. His staff was also very attentive and always got back to me with any question that I had along the way.
I am so grateful that I went with Paul, I cant imagine being treated better and having a better result.!! Thank You Paul.!!

I was referred to Mr. Grech through my divorce lawyer, after being in 15 years of relationship resulted in a big mess. He met me in person and took so much time to listen and understand me as a person. I opened up to him, told him everything that happened and I immediately knew that I could trust him from bottom of my heart. As I went through the most toughest time of my life, he treated me with courtesy and kindness, not a once I felt I was rushed or unworthy. Mr. Grech is very personable and genuine person. It was my great fortune to have him represent me. I would like to express my gratitude towards him and his support throughout my case.

Mr. Grech and Team I thoroughly recommend. There are excellent attorneys in the Riverside area, but Paul is arguably one of the best.
His team did a fantastic job for our family; they went above and beyond a transactional financial client-attorney relationship. They were professional, honest, and importantly, showed genuine interest in our family’s well-being.
I was facing child endangerment criminal charges, because of allegations by a school mandated reporter. Unfortunately, this is a parent’s worst nightmare, because these allegations can destroy careers and families.
Mr. Grech successfully persuaded the DA to dismiss the original charges in exchange for disturbing the peace infraction (PC. 415(2)) and a nominal fine. Only an attorney of his caliber (30 years+ experience) would have got this outcome.

Wow! Wow, is literally the first word that comes to mind! Dawn has represented me for two years in two separate court appearances in front of the judge. Both times she annihilated my ex! What she does is a work of art. Literally, a subject matter expert in all things custody, and DOES NOT back down. She is a bulldog that commands the court room and demands respect.
When you make the decision to call Dawn, know this, she is not your friend; she is your attorney. She will tell you like it is and she makes sure she has YOU and YOUR CHILDRENs best interest at the forefront of her mind at all times. Like it or not, she tells you the truth, she tells you what you NEED to hear and not what you WANT to hear. (This is crucial when fighting for custody) You have to learn to let go of the reigns and let her do her job. You won’t regret it. She is incredible to watch.
Her staff runs like a well oiled machine. Everyone has a job and they all perform their jobs with incredible professionalism. I have never been so informed and kept up to date on every aspect of my case. When asking for choices and/or advice I was always given ALL of my choices (good, bad or indifferent). I always had the final choice/decision, and I was always supported no matter the choices I made.
Dawn does not accept defeat and failure is not an option. When looking for representation remember this…. You need an ATTORNEY. Not a lawyer. You need someone that leads from the front and not afraid to show their intestinal fortitude when faced with some of the most intimidating circumstances. (FYI, Dawn is intimidated by NO ONE….. Literally, NO ONE!)
My only regret is not having her as my attorney during my actual divorce. She said everything I couldn’t say in court….. and her words to my ex will forever live rent free in my mind!!
Dawn and staff, thank you for the support, guidance and peace of mind you gave me. I am forever grateful.

Ms. Saenz truly cares about her clients and the children they often represent. She is amazing, and will fight to protect and support them. The five star reviews are from her clients - the poor reviews are from the people who lost to her in court - not her clients. I would give her more stars if I could.

When it became clear I was going to need a divorce attorney, like most I asked around for recommendations. Bill came highly recommended and has not disappointed me once. At the initial consultation he listened and was very clear on what to expect. Bill came across as knowledgeable, honest and most importantly reliable. My initial overwhelmingly positive impression of both he and his staff has never faltered. During the course of my divorce I would often get calls or emails on the weekends or after hours from Bill or a member of his team. My divorce has ran longer then most and I have consistently received the highest quality representation from an attorney and staff who I believe genuinely care.
I also think it is important to add that my preconceived notions of how a divorce works and the reality of the situation were very very far apart. Bill took the time to explain to me on several occasions the reality of the situation...I would argue with him..he would quote case law and give me examples very patiently and set me straight. I recently joked with a friend of mine I have a love/hate relationship with Bill Bratton. I honestly believe that my divorce could have been an unmitigated disaster given its contentious nature. Hiring Bill is the best decision I made during the arguably worst period of my life. I do hate that he has been right about everything...lol, his advice and guidance has been on point from day one.
I have also taken the time to watch Bill work. When we have been in court I made it a point to watch him interact with other attorneys and even in court twice representing other clients. He demonstrates his vast experience with ease and clearly still has a passion for what he does. Bill is a master at his craft.
I will close as I started...Bill Bratton is the best decision I made during the arguably worst period of my life.

In December of 2017 I found myself in need of an attorney to help me gain visitation of my two grandsons. On the recommendation of my previous divorce attorney (who no longer practices family law) I went to Bratton, Razo, & Lord. After a consultation my case was taken by Mike Razo. Mr. Razo has a very professional and calm demeanor; don’t let this fool you, he’s there to win. When our case finally went to trial Mr. Razo was incredibly well prepared and focused. One of the things that I appreciated was that Mr. Razo doesn’t get involved in personal character assassination and unnecessary drama. He fought my case with the facts and the law. The office staff at BRL is always friendly and professional. My e-mails and phone calls were always promptly answered. These things are so valuable when you’re in the middle of an emotional and difficult time. My case was complicated and a difficult win. I’m so glad that I put my trust in Bratton, Razo, & Lord and my entire family is eternally grateful for the hard work and dedication to this case.

I found Mr. Bratton's legal advice timely and accurate. He has an easy way, even when his advice is difficult to hear. His thorough review of the facts and his approach to conflict resolution gave me the best settlement. I highly recommend Mr. Bratton.

I deal with attorneys professionally in my line of work. So I'm well versed in what I'm looking for. Some are cheerleaders, some are lazy, and some are pitbulls. Mr. Deller is a pitbull. Probably more like an old pitbull but with a lot of wisdom and experience in the court room. I was looking for a blunt honest attorney who knew his stuff, experienced, and can haul us along for the long fight. I didn't need anything sugar coated. Meeting Mr. Deller filled my needs. My divorce was complicated. I knew it from the start. It took three years but we finished it. The reality in a divorce is you ain't gonna get everything you want. If you approach it in that manner you will disappoint yourself and blame all around you.....including your attorney. Mr. Deller helped bring some realities into what I was asking for and did a great job at negotiating with opposing counsel to get us all to a happy medium. In the end, I still got the better end of the deal. I escaped alimony and child support. More importantly my sons got to voice who they wanted to spend their time with. The odds are usually against men in divorces. However good planning and tactics placed the odds in my favor. But it took some good planning and strategizing. Mr. Deller's team had a great strategy and executed it to my benefit. Mr. Deller is my go to attorney. In addition to my own divorce, I've brought my son's traffic case, and my grown daughter's family law issues to him too. I will continue to bring my legal needs to Mr. Deller. If you're looking for a cheerleader on a budget for an attorney who's going to tell you everything's going to be ok like some of the folks here who gave him bad reviews. You pay for what you get. Then Mr. Deller is not the choice for you. Look elsewhere as there's plenty of budget focused cheerleaders around. If you're looking for an old experienced pitbull to be your counsel. Look no further as Mr. Deller is the man.

I was fighting custody for my two daughters. I felt powerless and defeated until I hired Robert Deller. Having him on my team and watching my ex and his new girlfriend face when we walked out together for quick consultation on what will happen. He had their mouths dropped open and heads spin. That was the best day ever, I am completely confident in his expertise to give him my highest praise. I would highly recommend him to represent you in this unfortunate situation.

I wouldn't recommend Robert Deller to anyone, terrible attorney and not professional with his choice of words. I would of gave him 0 stars if possible. There was a lack of communication, many phone calls and emails were not returned. All he did was take my money and I got no results.

Fast. Fair. Thorough. Modest? The Cullen Family Law Group's motto is quite the understatement, for this firm provides so much more. These exceptional women handled my case with sedulous care proving that they were the only firm suitable to tend to my case. The way they fought for me while shielding me from the worst one could ever imagine, was both delicate and honest all while maintaining complete professionalism. Attorney Naqvi was vigilant, sharp, and incredibly keen to the unseen; knowledgable beyond any opponent, and always armed for every attack. Attorney Huss was quick and steadily prepared with concise responses, the ultimate strategist; between her scholarly astuteness and natural instincts, she always kept us bounds ahead of opposing counsel. Now, don't allow their beauty to fool you, these fierce females are an absolute force, consistently rigorous with their advocacy. And though it is said that a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link, I am honored to state that there is nary a weak link within this organization. Lori, Katie, and Rachel each played an intergral role in helping me navigate the most difficult season of my life. The Cullen Family Law Group is a team of diligent individuals that truly exercise discipline and proper deportment in all arenas. Professional, considerate, firm, yet kind, I am pleased to say that God paired me with the only legal team equipped to carry me through. The Cullen Family Law Group: Fast. Fair. Thorough. Complete.

I was facing 16 months in prison for a SERIOUS drug charge, DUI, and child endangerment. Sean was able to get me a 120 day jail sentence which I was able to serve on home detention. Four years probation, 16 weeks of DUI classes, 52 weeks of child endangerment classes. After completing all my classes, paying all fines and completing my house arrest we went back to court and Sean was able to have my probation terminated early and completly expunge my record of all charges. If you have a case in Riverside county Sean is the man!

I hired him and payed him upfront(which is normal i guess). He proceeded with the hearings for me, and when it came to settle he didnt even show up! He sent someone that knew nothing about my case/previous case. He tries to trick you into settling fast to make his life easier, they told me the courts wanted a 4 month program, but failed to tell me the DMV required me to do 18 month if i wanna drive again. I have hear they do this to ALOT of people!

I strongly advise against hiring this attorney. She was completely unprepared and failed to file critical paperwork with the court, leaving me without proper representation. She offered no support, no defense, and seemed utterly disorganized and uncomfortable throughout the entire process.
Not only did she fail to follow the terms of our contract—like notifying me when my balance reached $1,000—but she also doubled the retainer fees without any warning. Her billing practices are shady at best, and it's clear she's manipulating hours to pad her paycheck.
This attorney doesn’t keep you informed about your case—you’re left in the dark, forced to chase her down for updates. In court, she provides no guidance or strategy, leaving you to figure out your own evidence and defense. When it comes time to speak, she’s either silent or clueless, offering nothing of value.
Her lack of professionalism, honesty, and basic competence is astonishing. She doesn't just fail to fight for you—she fails to even show up for the fight. Avoid her at all costs.

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:
-
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. -
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. -
What is the likely outcome of my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and expected outcomes. -
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. -
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. -
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.
