Our experience with Attorney Rainey was awesome. We had a situation where we were building a building and a Lien was placed on the building. We called Attorney Rainey and she assisted us and gave us the advice that we needed. She helped us every step of the way. I would highly recommend her. We would not be in the building without her assistance.

The absolute best lawyer around, hands down. He was always 100% upfront & honest about everything. He knew what I wanted & worked until he got that for me. He was always prepared & ready to fight for what I wanted. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney. If I ever need a lawyer in the future, he will definitely be my first contact!

No one ever likes having to hire an attorney but in this case if you have to - make sure you consider Michael.
No matter what came up he was always on his game and was ready to take care of it. He didn't hesitate to be 100% honest with me on what my options were and at the same time was always ready to be my biggest advocate (in the courtroom, mediation and in person) I definitely felt like he kept our entire family's best interest at the top of his list.
Even though my greatest wish is to never have to go thru this process again, if an issue arises I always know I have one of the most dependable, communicative and trustworthy guys on speed-dial and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking/needing an attorney.

Attorney Wright was heaven sent I got myself into some legal trouble and she was just what I needed to get out of it! Always professional and available via phone/email or text.

Ms. Wright was an amazing lawyer. Throughout my process she remained professional while still making me feel one hundred percent comfortable. She kept in touch with me , checked on me to see how I was doing and taught me a lot of valuable life lessons along the way. She is by far one of the most humble and grounded individuals I have came across thus far and I would recommend her to anyone seeking legal help. She did everything in her power to help me through the hardest time in my life and for that , I will forever be grateful. Ms.Wright loves her job and she is very passionate about what she does and it most definitely shows . She deserves ten stars!

I hired Josh to represent me regarding a very difficult personal lawsuit. Josh was extremely diligent in every regard. It was also evident that Josh is a man of excellent character who cared about me and my family. He really helped us through a challenging time. Clearly, Josh kept on track of my case specifically and he intervened on my behalf to resolve every legal matter that came up. He led my legal team and the case was resolved quickly. He is an excellent attorney...a talented man who will never let you down.

Our case was a complex international IP dispute. Raymond led the legal effort stateside, formulated an overall approach, and carefully coordinated with our legal team in the UK to ensure that the plan was followed. Raymond took charge and saw things through to the end. The result of Mr. Jackson's efforts was a settlement in our favor for a significant sum.

Raymond Jackson is the best as far as I'm concerned. Even if I have a legal question that is not his expertise, I always consult with Raymond.
Raymond represented my business in a case where both the city and county were allies. Nobody
thought we could win the case. It was a constitutional law issue in Alabama. The opposition retained
a law firm from a large city in Alabama. Raymond won the case at the first level. The case was well developed, it was apparent the judge was impressed. Raymond was an outsider in this case.
Subsequent to our case, Raymond got more clients from the area and he continues to represent us.

Without Randy Walton of Walton Law LLC, I would never would have been able to successfully navigate the Social Security hurdles needed to get my SSD approved. His personal, professionalism service as well as his resolve to see my case through to the end was greatly appreciated! Randy's prompt emails and phone calls always put my mind to rest. In fact on a few occasions I received calls from Randy over the weekend when needed. I highly recommend Randy due to his years of experience and his customer focused approach dealing with Social Security.

I consulted Mr.Tewalt on my husbands immigration case. He was kind and patient and listened to all the facts of the case. When I finished, Mr.Tewalt helped us find a solution at no cost. He did not charge a consultation fee as promised and refused to take payment for his service. A truly honest attorney is hard to find. I have been to many attorneys for this case and he was the only one who refused to just take a retainer and get back to me.

I recommend Mr. Bowman in the most enthusiastic fashion. I feel privileged to have had the good fortune to select him to represent me in a broad-based, complex and contested issue. Over the years, the outstanding results he has achieved in representing me are a testament to his unmatched command of the law and imaginative preparation and presentation of the case. His exceptional skills and personal commitment have resulted in successful conclusion of the annual legal contest. Through unremitting work and legal achievement he has earned my total trust, confidence and respect. Through our long-term relationship I have learned that his standards of honor and integrity are above reproach.

Aaron helped me with my contentious divorce. He communicated regularly with me, responded quickly to emails and phone calls, and made sure I understood everything that was happening. He didn't mind explaining things and answered all of my questions in detail.
Unfortunately, we had to go to trial (not at all his fault, the ex refused to negotiate a settlement) but Aaron did a great job for me. He was very calm and sure, and presented my case very well before the judge. In the end, I was awarded almost everything we asked for.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Aaron for anyone needing his services.

We have been using Buzz Brown to handle issues for our company and our family for several years now. If you want an attorney that will work hard and treat you fairly this is your man. He speaks plain English so that the average person understands what he is saying instead of using big words that leave you scratching your head. He is an honest attorney that does great work.

We are Thankful to Mr. Ghee for what he was able to accomplish with such a difficult case. This area of law practice takes a special person with experience, knowledge and wisdom to navigate. It was my pleasure to meet such an accomplished person who has the compassion to navigate the stormy weather of family law. Yes, these cases are often unfriendly due to what is being lost or gained. It is a struggle that needs someone who can do their best to achieve as close to what the courts will allow. You may not always understand the system or the courts but you will understand that you have lawyer that does. Lastly, he knows what he is talking about. Yes, I highly recommend Mr. Ghee.

I am so thankful my friends recommended this law firm to me. I have been very pleased with the excellent service I have received. The lawyers in this firm are well respected by their peers and obviously by the judges. Mr. Ghee and his daughter, Wendy Draper, handle my case in a professional, competent, and timely fashion and got results that exceeded my expectations. Wendy's secretary is also very helpful and friendly. If you need an attorney in Anniston, Alabama, you can not go wrong with any of the attorneys in this firm.

I was injured in a wreck several years ago. I wanted to settle the case for a few thousand dollars. My mother told me to talk with Ken Guin. He had successfully represented her in a Social Security case. I was still hurting from the wreck. Ken told me my job was to get well as possible and his job was to look out for my legal rights. When it was all said and done Ken settled the case for the insurance limits - $100,000! He is patient, kind and knows his stuff.

I cannot praise or Thank Attorney Donna Wesson Smalley enough for what she did for my son and I during the trying times of my divorce. Not only did she fight until the end for us and what we deserved but she was a caring, understanding and compassionate shoulder to lean on. With the attorney's I have dealt with in the past , you receive the services you pay for if your lucky. With Attorney Smalley, in the end, I received more than I could have ever hoped for . Believe me when I tell you BIG things come in small packages. Donna comes in like a Lion and goes out like a Lion.....no room for lamb in her cases! An EXCELLENT attorney she has always been.....a BEST friend she always will be.......THANK YOU DONNA for believing in me!

I have had the pleasure of using Ms. Smalley for various legal matters over the past 15 years , including domestic (she handled my divorce), auto accident (was hit twice from behind and negotiated a very fair settlement), personal injury (an accident involving the City of Northport's negligence and causing me to be in an accident) and Wills and Probate planning (she prepared our Wills and other legal documents) and have always found her to be a very loyal, honest and fair attorney with a personal touch. She makes you feel like family at times. I recommend her to all my friends and/or family that need an attorney for anything.

Prompt, professional, knowledgeable, respectable attorney. Performed services with integrity. I had peace of mind during my child custody modification process. She answered all questions and addressed concerns I had in a timely manner. She took time to explain all the legal jargon in a manner i could understand. I felt confident in her abilities, and was pleased with her legal knowledge. I would highly recommend Ms Goodson for any divorce, child custody, or any other family law matter.

I was looking for a strong, female lawyer and I was referred to Rachel. I was very happy with her knowledge of case law and to situations similar to mine. Every question I posed to Rachel was answered in a logical way with words I understood. Her explanations of sometimes complicated legal rules were very clear to me and her summaries of my "side" of the situation were spot on. She was able to capture not only facts but emotions related to the circumstances as well. I was very pleased when she noticed details in the opposing side's responses and in the law that were pertinant to forming a strong argument for my case. I felt I was kept up to date.

Rachel Goodson is professional, competent, organized, knowledgable and excellent at her job. I hired Ms. Goodson last year to resolve a family court issue and I was pleased with her effort. In the last three years I used three other attorneys prior to Ms. Goodson and NONE of them provided me the service or gave me the confidence that Ms. Goodson did. Hiring an attorney is never a fun experience but if I ever had to do it again there is none other I would consider than Rachel Goodson.

The attorney that you always wanted, but didn't think actually existed......that would be Cindy Webb. She has all the qualities that you'd want in an attorney, coupled with the qualities that make a good human being. She is very intelligent and very skilled in her field. She knows that the rules are not always made to protect the common person and will let you know this. But she also knows the difference between right and wrong, and she will fight for what is right, and with diligence to bring fairness to a bad situation. She will also give you the sense that you are the only client that she has. When she works for you, she will give you her all, and make sure that you understand everything that is and can be about your case. And she will not back down once the battle has begun. So don't be dismayed by the small frame and pretty face. She is a very powerful woman that can hold her own against anyone, in any situation. I would never have imagined that the results that she achieved would have been possible with an average attorney. But this is no average attorney. She is a fighter......with heart. She genuinely cares for her clients and their best interest.
If ever you need an attorney in any of the fields in which she practices, you will not find anyone better or more dedicated than Mrs. Webb. I highly recommend her for all of your legal needs.

I went to the firm where Ms. Webb works and I was very upset and stressed. I asked to see a lawyer and it ended up being Ms. Webb. I gave her all details of the situation I was in and She patiently listened to every word not once making me feel rushed. She began to ask me questions and by the end of our meeting I felt relieved and hopeful. G-d blessed me with the BEST person to take on my action. I was so pleased with the result I have kept her on to deal with some other issues and she KEEPS winning for me. She's full of integrity AND honesty ! If she thinks it's possible you're heading for a loss she will tell you and why. But she will fight all the way to the end no matter the result. I have dealt with quite a few lawyers in my past dealing with ex husband, custody issues and such. I WISH I had known her back then !

Attorney Jordan and his staff has always been accommodating & focused each time I needed his services. I chose Jordan Law Firm to represent me and received outstanding services as well as results since 2013. I used his firm to file bankruptcy, to implement my mothers will and for an issue with an apartment complex (presently). Each time I called, his staff was able to answer my questions with no problem or hesitation. I have never been transferred or ignored. I even made a mistake and called Attorney Jordan after hours, but he talked to me about the issues and concerns of my case. 1) I had no problems filing my bankruptcy paperwork, 2) he treated me and my mother with nothing but respect and professionalism. He was concerned about her, and the appropriate outcome for her as well as the family. 3) my paperwork was always done and turned in accordingly (no problems). Finally, I am in the process of handling an issue with a local apartment complex and I am 100% sure he and his team will do a great job with this situation as the Jordan Law Firm has done before. I stand behind Attorney Ezra Jordan and his firm for any and all issues in which you may be facing.

Kris Sexton is an exceptional family lawyer. After enduring two years of struggle and nearly losing everything dear to me, I found myself in a situation where, without her and her firm, I would have faced total loss. The decisions I had made previously complicated matters for her, yet she never judged me or allowed me to feel defeated or without options. She consistently excels in the courtroom, and even if a motion does not yield the desired outcome, her determination only intensifies, ensuring she achieves the best possible results for her clients. My family and I are profoundly grateful to Kristina Sexton and NXTSTEP FAMILY LAW.

Hands down the best trial attorney in the state of Alabama. Attorney Deen was recommended by other attorneys in the Mobile area. I was specifically told to hire Attorney Deen for my court case and I listened. It was the best legal advise I was given by another attorney. Attorney Deen and his staff went above and beyond my expectations when representing me. I am grateful for all of their hard work which ultimately led to my winning a 2 year long legal battle. I am grateful for having such a competent attorney representing me during a difficult time in my life. I can't thank him or his staff enough.

I would highly recommend Jeff Dean to anyone needing legal representation. Not only did he provide me with all the information that I needed about my case but he also made sure that I was completely aware of the legal process and explained every step that we would have to take. Prior to trial Jeff gave my case his undivided attention and made sure that I was fully prepared for court as well as comfortable with the trial process.

Many years ago I was helped by Ms. Burrell in a tough divorce. This is what she did NOT do: half-listen to my issues, she gave me her full attention always; only care how much money could be made off my case, she DID act promptly and wisely to help me get that which I was entitled; slough off my phone calls, she DID return all of them. Everything a family attorney SHOULD do to help you she did.. and more.

I highly recommend her. Her hourly rate is reasonable given the level of services and support provided. I believe her rate is comparable to other high-quality attorneys in this area. She promptly returned the unused portion of the retainer upon finalization of my divorce. Thank you, Robin.

I live north of Huntsville and hired Mr. King to represent me in a case in Oneonta. We did our meetings by email and phone instead of in person with the exception of Court so I didn't have to travel. He was extremely pleasant, knowledgeable, supportive, sharp and brilliant among other outstanding qualities. He went above and beyond for me inside and outside of the court room and also had a respectable price. I thoroughly recommend him and his services. If I ever have to go to court again, I will definitely use him. We need more lawyers like Mr. King in this world!

This man an Cal Whaley have a jaw dropping talent to defend their clients on top of being the most honest and respectable attorneys I have ever met. After speaking to many attorneys in town, it was difficult to find someone trustworthy, respectable, and talented. I still laughing out loud when I think about how silly these men were able to make two very corrupt prosecutors look. These men gave my children and I our lives back and I can never thank them enough.

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You
A family law lawyer provides legal services related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, and adoption. Family lawyers help clients navigate emotionally charged legal issues, providing guidance and representation in disputes that affect spouses, children, and parents. Whether you're going through a divorce, seeking custody of your children, or drafting a prenuptial agreement, a family law lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your interests are represented.
Family law attorneys often handle sensitive matters and offer objective legal advice, helping clients reach fair outcomes either through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
When Should I Hire a Family Law Lawyer?
Hiring a family law lawyer is beneficial in several situations, especially when legal matters involve close personal relationships. Common reasons to hire a family law lawyer include:
- Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
- Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.
- Child support: Whether you’re seeking child support or defending against a claim, a lawyer can help ensure the appropriate amount is calculated and enforced.
- Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: A lawyer can help draft or review agreements that protect your assets in case of divorce.
- Adoption: Family law lawyers guide you through the legal process of adoption, ensuring that all requirements are met.
- Domestic violence or restraining orders: If you're a victim of domestic violence or being falsely accused, a lawyer can help you obtain or challenge protective orders.
- Paternity cases: If there are questions about the paternity of a child, a lawyer can help establish or dispute legal fatherhood.
Hiring a lawyer early can prevent issues from escalating, and they can offer you the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome in emotionally charged situations.
What Does a Family Law Lawyer Do?
A family law lawyer provides a wide range of services depending on your specific legal needs. Their responsibilities may include:
- Advising on legal rights and options: Helping you understand your legal rights regarding divorce, child custody, support, and other family law issues.
- Filing legal documents: Drafting and filing petitions, motions, and agreements with the court, such as divorce papers, custody agreements, or support orders.
- Representing clients in court: Arguing your case in front of a judge if a settlement can’t be reached through negotiation or mediation.
- Mediation and negotiation: Assisting with alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, to reach agreements on issues like custody, property division, and support without going to trial.
- Enforcing court orders: Helping you enforce court orders related to child support, alimony, or custody if the other party fails to comply.
- Drafting prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: Creating agreements that protect your assets in the event of a divorce.
- Handling adoption proceedings: Ensuring that the legal process of adoption is followed, from filing paperwork to finalizing the adoption in court.
How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?
Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
- Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
- Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.
The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.
How Much Does a Family Law Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a family law lawyer varies based on factors such as the lawyer's experience, the location, and the complexity of your case. Here are some general cost guidelines:
- Hourly rates: Family law lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
- Flat fees: For simpler cases, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
- Retainers: For more complex matters, such as contested divorces or custody battles, lawyers may charge a retainer ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 or more. The lawyer will bill against the retainer for the work they do on your case.
- Additional costs: You may also be responsible for additional costs, such as filing fees, mediation fees, or expert witness fees.
Always ask for a clear breakdown of the lawyer’s fees and any additional expenses during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -
Who will be handling my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.
How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
- Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
- Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
- List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
- Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
- Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.
Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
