I had the pleasure of working with Michael Price , and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the initial consultation to the resolution of my case, Mr. Price demonstrated exceptional expertise, professionalism, and dedication. He took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the legal process and provided clear, actionable advice that was crucial in achieving a positive outcome. His responsiveness and willingness to address any concerns I had made me feel supported and informed throughout the entire process. Mr. Price is not only a skilled legal professional but also a compassionate advocate who genuinely cares about his clients military or not. If you are in need of legal representation, Mr. Price is an excellent choice.

A while back I was in need of a lawyer to handle a tax issue I was having. I must admit that it literally kept me up at night, and seemed impossible to overcome. I reached out to Mr De Luna and he immediately made me feel at ease. He explained everything he was going to do and gave me a reasonable price. He communicates through out the whole process and his team his wonderful to work with. Pam and Laura are very good at what they do, very friendly and caring. I highly recommend Mr De Luna and his staff.

Just spoke to this law firm, I would not reconnect this law firm. Stay far away. Their first duty is to the court, if a judge tells any one of their lawyers not to wear a certain suit again they will bend over backwards. Their duty is not in the best interest of the child but to the court first! Do not hire this firm, they will not argue your case in court. They will let the judge violate your rights and help them do it. When I heard this from their attorney during the consultation I immediately asked where is the duty to your client and the best interest of the child? She hung up. When a lawyers says their first duty is to the court that means you should run! Don’t be to quick to hire an attorney, look around ask questions because lawyers like these will backstab their clients!

I can't express how grateful I am to Valerie for her exceptional legal representation. She was incredibly patient and kept me informed every step of the way, making sure I understood the process and felt supported. Throughout my case, she was not only professional and knowledgeable but also genuinely sweet and caring. She truly believed in me, and because of her dedication and expertise, my case was dismissed. If you're looking for a lawyer who will go above and beyond for you, Valerie Hedlund is the one to trust. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Mr. Briones is a generic result attorney that totally got annihilated in court JP3 04/13/21
He was representing my family members in a civil suit and even got their name incorrect.
Briones was unprepared and tried to scam Judge Wentworth into believing that only one person was on a deed to a home in dispute as if the other ex spouse was not on the deed at all. When the Judge called him out in it, Briones stumbled in his words saying he misunderstood.
Briones did not even have the divorce Decree with him that literally won the case for the opponent .
He told the Judge he did not know what was on it and got annihilated once again when the Judge had the copy of the decree and told him that his name was on it. He had signed it, yet had pretended he was unaware of the stipulations on it that favored the opponent and the case was lost for Briones.
I believe the Judge could see through Briones right away and his credentials were immediately lost.
This attorney is exactly the kind of attorney to avoid.

I went to see Mr. Briones for a consultation in December of last year. My ex wife was moving to Laredo and taking our son to go live over there. I asked Mr. Briones for help and he recommended that we file for a modification to have my son come live me with and not have to go to Laredo. It seemed impossible and I never thought I would have a chance but Mr. Briones was very certain that we could fight for this. I didn't have very much money to pay for a retainer so he asked for a little up front and put me on a payment plan. We went to court a few times and at the last hearing we won. My son now lives with me full time and I couldn't ask for a better lawyer on my side then Ricardo Briones.

Mr. Briones was an amazing lawyer who helped me with my case. He let me know what my best choices were and talked each option out with me. He knows what he’s doing and if I’m ever trouble again, I will ask for his help again.

My younger brother broke probation and was facing prison time. Miss Diana took his case and fought for his case, the court gave her offers for my bother and she refused them because she wanted one that I want, she communicates with her clients both in the cell and out the cell to get the best results.

She took $1250 from me and never represented me. Her response was a nut job that she will not give back the money. She literally spoke to me ten minutes got the money and never did a thing for me. Now, she will not return it. She a thief and crook. I’m reporting her to the board of lawyers that hopefully will take away her license so she cannot do this to other single moms of two that is disabled.. or any other people and/or families.

We had the privilege of having Dan-Phi as our child custody lawyer, and I must say, he exceeded our expectations. Having initially started with a different lawyer, we regret not choosing Dan-Phi from the beginning. His dedication and tenacity in fighting for our case were remarkable. What truly set him apart was his accessibility – always just a phone call away, providing reassurance and clear communication. Dan-Phi's exceptional understanding and empathy made a challenging process more manageable. If you're in need of a reliable and understanding child custody lawyer, look no further than Dan-Phi. Highly recommended!

I think we're all in the same pond. Jeremiah I believe has gone far and above what most attorneys would have, especially in my case. In a contentious situation most people overthink and overlook the outcome sooner rather than later. Unfortunately this was my mistake and I felt incredibly emotional and unsure (doesn't everyone?) Really there isn't much to it once you see what goes on behind the scenes. Dolores is wonderful too in that she is a great assistant to Jeremiah. I'm incredibly thankful to have Jeremiah as my attorney. Not everyone may feel the same, but as the old saying goes "don't hate the player, hate the game" and trust in the process. It'll all work out, I promise.

Bobby was recommended to me by another lawyer as the best for my needs and he lived up to it. He is intelligent, professional, very courteous, down to earth, and even humorous making it a pleasure to work with him. He was clear and prompt in his communication and did the things he said he would. He may not be the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. Hope I don't need to, but I would absolutely work with him again or recommend him.

I honestly could not say enough wonderful things about These people and this law firm. They help me get through one of the most.

My experience with Mr. Boyd’s law firm has been nothing short of exceptional. Jon’s knowledge of Texas law and years of experience dealing with child custody, make him an invaluable resource for any parent. From our first consultation, through several interactions, and until the complete settlement; Jon and his staff provided timely correspondence, and insightful advice on the laws and statutes pertaining to child custody, helping me navigate Texas legal system. This is a testament to Jon’s character, who truly cares about his clients and their future well-being. I would strongly recommend Jon law firm to anyone who needs help in Texas. This is a top-notch firm.

MR BOYD Failed to file the proper documents to the Court resulting in a hearing that went totally south in favor of the abusive mother et.al. Delayed submitting damaging evidence to the Court. Asked me on multiple occasions. "HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU HAVE TO SPEND ON THIS CASE". Thats quite the loaded question. He filed an intervention (without affidavit mind you) sent a stranger ANOTHER ATTORNEY FROM HIS FIRM WHOM we never HAD ANY CONTACT WITH EVER to the hearing who briefed me on my intervention for 10 minutes immediately before the hearing\- yet he wasn't even aware that my intervention wouldn't be heard because Mr. Boyd failed to submit an affidavit with the petition. Mr. Boyd later after the hearing said to me "oh I knew OPC was going to oppose ". Really?? than how was the attorney you sent to the hearing to represent us under the impression that my intervention would be heard....since, he briefed me on the intervention! It seems reasonable and fair to believe that the attorney (we never met or spoke with) assumed the affidavit was filed with the Court - otherwise why would he be briefing me on the intervention 10 minutes before the hearing? OR MR. BOYD JUST SENT A MAN IN A SUIT TO SHOW UP AT the HEARING!!! MR. BOYD WAS BUSY DOING OTHER THINGS. I am yet to receive Mr. Boyd's legal opinion citing the Texas Law that would even consider an 'intervention'. At this point, I have requested this several times, he does not reply. My conclusion....there is no legal merit.

I dont suggest Lisa as a lawyer at all. My case has been going on for almost 2 years and for a first time offense (DWI), ALOT of money, and her saying what she "could" do..... she didnt show up to court twice instead sent her husband. She didnt know what was going on with my case the times I went to talk to her. When I talked to probation and they said I would have to do a 90 day out patient program and went to her office upset about it because I have a 2 jobs and trying to finish school and pay my bills she gave me attitude and said "what's wrong with that," as a lawyer I would expect more. She wants a monthly payment so of course after almost 2 years she has been paid in full and I cant even get any of my money back with my court case still pending.

Phil helped me back in 2006 with my divorce. He kept my expectations reasonable, and he kept my emotional reactions in check when I needed it. I have since referred numerous clients to him- including my sister. Phil doesn't add fluff or add any unnecessary fees. He's straight forward, and above all an ethical attorney. I would recommend Phil to anyone who needed a family law attorney.

My case was assigned to Kim Washington, seemingly an competent lawyer; but after working with her for about ten months, basically continuing work begun four months prior by two of her colleagues, I have come to know differently. Any lawyer earning her fee per hour should be equipped with knowledge and experience that should enable that lawyer to offer sound advice to clients, especially if clients are asking for services that are not offered by the firm anyway!!!
I paid too much money (well over $15,000.00) for a divorce that was never contested, but too much time/expense allocated towards chasing possibilities only to learn later on two occasions that I would have to go outside of the firm for services not offered by the firm, but needed to resolve my issue!!! I hope Ms. Washington will listen carefully to what future clients need/want from her and honestly advise accordingly without unnecessarily compounding costs without delivering on objectives known from the beginning of the process.

Brad took over my case from another attorney during a difficult time. My daughter's father (my ex-husband) did not return her after her agreed upon visit the summer of 2014. He took away her means of communicating with me and others. Over a period of days, he would set a return date, then change it. My daughter was distressed and lost her trust in him. Because of previous attempts to get a resolution that supported my daughter, I did not have a lot of faith in the system. Brad is honest, has a serious level of attention to detail, great energy, and a strategic mind that works for the best interest of, in this case, my child. In the end, Brad and his pretty wonderful team of legal super heroes were able to provide me with a sense of relief and protection for my daughter. I could not ask for anything more.

In late December 2015, Bradley Coldwell stepped in when my then attorney could not continue with my case as he was running for public office and my common-law husband of 16+ years was pulling every dirty trick he could think of to make the divorce as difficult and expensive as possible. After agreeing in April 2015 to mediation within 60 days, he refused to turn over discovery forcing me to subpoena the requested documents, denied we were married, demanded a jury trial at the last minute before the final trial date, then firing his attorney and hiring a new one who he said was “the number one family law attorney in Williamson County”. My husband than announced that he had deliberately conflicted out every good attorney in town. Thank goodness, he skipped Brad in the conflicting process.
Brad got a second temporary orders hearing scheduled for early February 2016. Not only did he get the agreement that I regretting making in April 2015 reversed, he also got me temporary support, a large amount of attorney’s fees and the judge denied every one of my husband’s requests. Watching Brad and his paralegal, Ryan Dixon, in action at that hearing was more than I could have asked for. Calm, cool and always in control. Brad became my hero that day.
Through discovery updates and everything else that happened Brad and Ryan kept me up to date, never missed a deadline and were always there to answer my questions and calm my fears.
Our half-day mediation in June 2016 lasted 14 hours and turned out better than I could have dreamed of. By agreement, I received over half of the martial estate and other provisions that I don’t believe another attorney could have gotten for me.
I believe that my now ex-husband understands that he did not hire “the number one family law attorney in Williamson County”, I did …. and his name is Bradly Coldwell.
I highly recommend Bradley Coldwell of Coldwell Bowes. He will always be my HERO. Everyone at Coldwell Bowes are extremely professional and very nice.

I hired Gary Smart about 10 years ago through a recommendation from a church member. I was in a very tight legal situation out of Denton County after admitting to being partiality guilt to a crime and believing the detective would hold up to his promise to me of dropping the felony to a misdemeanor. The detective didn't hold up to it, however Attorney Smart was able to get them to change their mind and get me an extremely fair plea deal. The judge even told me "Son, you better be thankful that you hired such a great attorney, stop making dumbass decisions and get your life together". I'll forever be grateful to him fair price/payment plan, his professionalism, and care that he had shown me.

I called and spoke to Mr. Solorzano about an issue i had and he explained to me to start the process he needed 3k down i agreed. He said he needed a couple days to do a contract i agreed. 1 week passed no call from Mr. Solorzano. I called and I would leave voice-mails no call back. I called after 2 weeks again and I was told I needed 5k down per Mr Solorzano i declined. They can't even answer the phone or call back why would I agree to more money plus there customer service is terrible. Do your research before hiring this man.

She has made my ex look like a fool multiple times in court and I cannot thank her enough for having my back. I promise you will not regret choosing her .. it has gotten to the point that my ex’s lawyer dropped him as a client and the only thing my ex could do to retaliate was leave a bad google review for Katy’s law firm. 😂.

He immediately recognized that our son was a good kid who struggled with some mental health issues. He worked really hard and ultimately got all the cases dismissed.

Todd was originally referred over to us by a lawyer friend. Todd worked on expunging a completed case starting, and the correspondence started off well. After sending in payment and paperwork to his office on February 5th, I sent a follow up email 10 days later asking for an update. After a month of calling his office and not hearing anything back via email, on March 18th we received an update. After that things ran smooth and anytime I reached out by email he was quick to respond. It was stressful to not hear anything about the case for a month, and we weren't sure if it was even being worked on. I am however grateful that Todd was able to complete this for myself and my family, and was able to do it in a 90 day span.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding legal support provided by Marshall Thompson during my divorce proceedings. From our very first consultation, I was impressed by their professionalism, honesty, and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for me.
Marshall not only possesses an in-depth understanding of family law which helped me to navigate agreements for my best possible outcome. He provided clear guidance every step of the way, ensuring that I fully understood my rights and options throughout the process and was very straightforward around what was and was not reasonable to help me focus on the most important matters of mine.
What truly sets Marshall apart is their genuine concern for their clients' well-being. They took the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions promptly, and alleviate any anxieties I had about the proceedings. Their compassion and reassurance were invaluable during such a challenging time in my life.
I am incredibly grateful for their efforts and highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate divorce attorney.

Marshall stood by me for the two worst and most intense years of my life. Within a few weeks of retaining him, I felt calm in a way I would not have thought possible. He explained the legal process in a way I could understand and mapped out our strategy to get the best outcome for everyone, which was precisely what I asked for. He treated both me and my ex with dignity and respect, even in moments where it wasn’t remotely reciprocated. He understood how to navigate the court system instinctively, and every judge we interacted with clearly respected him very much. The resolution we came to allowed me to have a relationship with my daughter that I have the opportunity to nurture regularly. And while neither of us loved every moment of the experience, we both recognized and appreciated Marshall’s willingness to navigate representing me with respect to all parties. I could not have asked for a better lawyer.

Mr. Thompson is a very strong lawyer inside the courtroom and knows exactly how to present your case in a clear and concise manner. He is not afraid in dealing with difficult situations including with high-conflict opposing parties who don’t have the best interest of the child in mind. I really appreciate Mr. Thompson’s professionalism and knowledge of family law. He is truly fearless when it comes to representing his clients and I’m very thankful having Mr. Thompson in my case. You shouldn’t hesitate in hiring Mr. Thompson to help you with your family law situation.

Mr. Sarantos does indeed come off as someone that cares and is the right guy. Don't be tricked. I will attest to my personal experience, one that I still am dealing with.
2 weeks ago I consulted. On 10/24 I paid $1000 for just a demand letter for a denied $20k claim against my carrier that I intend to take to small claims. I am new father, a student, fighting cancer, and have a full time job. I got weaseled by my renters insurance on some bs after I had my home invaded and was robbed of almost everything of value. Due to the loss I have had to drop two classes and probably will drop the others to save my gpa because the situation got me very far behind and without any electronics to do online coursework. He knew this and after receiving payment has gone radio silent ***except when I called off my friends number , he answered , asked me if I had given him the loss inventory and some contact info that had already sat in his inbox for 4-5 days. He said he was on it and has gone back to zero communication(no text, email, or phone call back).
Taking money with intention of not rendering service or with the intention and delivering this quality of service is just wrong and why I give one star.

Theresa was appointed as court appointed lawyer for my son. I understand we are not paying for services, but why take a court appointed case if you really don't want to do the job. I also understand that these lawyers can not care so passionately about every one. But when I said she did nothing for my son, I do mean NOTHING!! I and my family members called her on numerous occasions to check what was going on with my son's case. The first time she had no idea who he was she didn't even know she was assigned to him. She couldn't even find his case. Second she told us 3 times on 3 different occasions that she was going to set up a phone/ person visit with my son to discuss the case. All 3 times something couldn't even explain what happened but she was not able to see him. On his court date, she didn't even show up. This is after she told us she would be there. We waited and waited and nothing. Then 3 days before his next court date, we called to see about court. To our surprise she says they took me off the case, and that's it. I would not recommend her, unless you are paying for her services. Even at that I wish you luck because she doesn't seem to care. If your loved one is appointed Ms. Teresa Vasquez I would highly recommend trying to get her changed or they might have to be incarcerated longer. I was very disappointed not because my son was in jail, but because when I spoke to her she wanted to sound like she would be on top of the situation. Like she had a plan like she understood. Everything she told us, she did not follow through with NOTHING!! NOT EVEN A SIMPLE PHONE CALL. I also understand that there are not a lot of people who show support when a family member is in jail, so I believe that the very last thing these inmates need is false hopes or information. I know they are not paying for your services but you are still getting paid!! She talks a good talk with NO follow through. Sad how they also take advantage of the system. We should also be able to leave reviews!!

From our initial consultation, Mrs. Vasquez demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal issues at hand and provided clear, strategic guidance throughout the process.

Mrs. Vasquez was always responsive and supportive, making a challenging situation much more manageable. I highly recommend their services for anyone seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable attorney.

Mr. Hancock represented my son in a criminal case. There was much disappointment as my son and I did not feel like Mr. Hancock was actually fighting for him throughout the process. There was alot to be desired from Mr. Hancock during the process. Mr Hancock used the states investigative findings instead of doing his own investigation to fight for my son. He made a statement to me on a couple of occasionas that I wasn't a rich woman in regards to paying for an investigation for my son. I was told by another attorney, that the state would have covered the cost of an investigation for my son that was not done by this attorney. Mr Hancock used the states slanted data instead of collecting his own. My son has been in jail/prison for about 6 years now. I just wish that Mr. Hancock would have cared more about his client, my son. I don't understand how the lawyer, Mr. Hancock, kept asking the client, "what's the plan?" I may be wrong, but I thought the attorney should formulate the plan? If we were familiar with the law, we wouldn't need an attorney. My son's case could have turned out differently, if the one that represented him,did more on his behalf. My heart is broken!

I am glad I found Mr. Patrick L. Hancock to represent me when the sky was falling on me for the catastrophic drug charges that had been made against me. He is an above average well-seasoned and highly cultured criminal lawyer and above all, he is a decent individual. He has my highest admirations and I recommend his services without hesitancy.

I hired Mr.Mackey to file a writ of habeas corpus. He never filed any motions on my case.After several attempts for a refund he never returned my calls or emails.l had to contact the State Bar of Texas. CAAP has sent him 3 letters and called his office.He did not respond. My next recourse was to file a grievance with the State Bar. This man in my opinion isn't honest!

I hired George Mackey to appeal my son's case. I had to find out the results of the appeal online. He never returns phone calls. The one time he did return a phone call, he told me to tell my son not to worry, that he will speak with the prosecutor and schedule a new court date. He never returned a phone call after that. Even when I begged him to call me back to tell me if he is has decided not to be my son's lawyer anymore, he still never returned my phone calls. I will be filing an official complaint.

This man is not your typical lawyer, he truly cares for his clients needs. He is passionate about his job and a very humble man, which is hard to come by in a lawyer. He took the time to help me understand the law. He went out of his way to investigate my case before he was even officially hired. Compassionate, gentle, very knowledgeable, and he works with his wife, they are a great team... You can tell what kind of people they are by there work relationship. I would definitely recommend this firm! Thank you Edward and Maria for your hardwork!

The worst lawyer!!! Does not respond to any emails/calls. I had a great friend of mine pay for me to get my record erased. Which that person payed over a year ago. He told us the process would take a few months at worst , like I said it's been a year. We call him and email and no response on the expunge status. Basically took the money and ran. It's hurting me bc it's my record and hurts that person bc they wasted their money

I hired this lady and Mr Wilson. They both worked together, advertised they both had experience in family law. Yet she had zero experience. Ruined my life and my families life. I lost my job after 30 yrs of experience for taking her advice. She advertised she has family law experience. She isgay, has no experience in families and even admitted to me she had none after ruining my family by giving bogus information. Use this lawyer and you may end up screwed like I was.

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.
