So what can I say about Mr. Gabriel? Well, words can't express the gratitude I have towards him. Me and my girls had never been in an accident before or dealt with an insurance company. We were hurt, scared, ignored, and felt hopeless. Then I found Mr Gabriel! He's not just a wonderful lawyer, he's genuinely a good man. Him and his team has listened to me cry, fuss, and ramble on about nothing. He talks to you like he's your best friend and your anxiety about everything melts away. After you talk to this man you know with out a doubt he is on your side and he will stand with you and fight for you. He got the money we needed to pay all the medical bills and what we deserved for all the pain and suffering we went through. He when thought a lot of twists and turns to get a win for me and my family. So what can I say about Mr. Walter? A lot !! I really believe God sent this man to me and my family. If you have been hurt in some kind of accident, this is the man for you. Mr Gabriel and his law firm will be there for you though thick and thin. He is soft enough to comfort you and hard enough to bust down some doors to get a win for you. Mr Walter and his team have all my love and gratitude! I truly don't know what I would have done without them. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

Greatly appreciate The Gabriel Law Firm.. I was in a terrible accident which i was hit during a commission of a crime.. stolen vehicle, which put me in a bad spot.. 1st, let's talk bills..lost my truck... Over $240,000 in medical bills..having to have emergency surgery.... Mr Gabriel didn't give up on my case.. yes, he advised me that he would have to go through my insurance policy.. which was only $50,000 in coverage.. the key to this review is it was no way possible for me to walk away with anything.. i was in a deep depression from all this,, nothing seemed to be in my favor.. Mrs Jessica stayed on top of my case the whole way, she advised me to keep a positive mindset, that's its all about getting healed from my injuries....then BOOM, out of nowhere, Mr. Gabriel called me with the best news .. he was able to get my bills settled for under $20,000..ended up leaving his office with nice check, this Law Firm could have crossed their legs and did nothing, they understood that I was in a awful spot..conclusion..THEY DIDN'T GIVE UP ON ME !!!!

In 2013 I went through Legal Shield to provide me with legal assistance for my divorce. I was referred to Attorney Jones. He educated me on the process, which helped me understand and feel comfortable going forward with my divorce. Attorney Jones was very calm, professional and straight up with you. He handled the letters, emails, and text with her attorney with easy, which her attorney back off and let Attorney Jones handle the in and out of court process. Which we won the decisions of the courts for the final divorce and possession of the property. Thank you again, Attorney Davey Jones!!!

WOW where do I start, I went to see Mr. Jones in helping me with my custody battle I was having. I hired Mr. Jones and we went to court, Mr. Jones and I met my kids mother and her lawyer. Mr. Jones thought it would be a good ideal to try and work it out. When I tell you he has change my relationship with my kids and their mother, he suggested going to seek counseling to repair our co-parenting and to improved me and the mother relationship as well, I had a major problem with another man around my kids cause the mother had moved on and he told me and I quote Mr. Jones " Alvin if me and my wife get a divorce there will be another man around my kids that is just life." He had me looking at my situation after saying that, it open my eyes in a more positive outlook. Today me and my kids mother have a wonderful co-parenting relationship. Mr. Jones is the type of lawyer that cares and honest with you, he told me I cant make no promises but I will do my best and he did, and for that no money can buy that. (PRICELESS)

Was referred to Mr Willson by a well respected colleague who didn’t have the available time I needed for my case. He didn’t file the first motion nor did he ever make the first court appearance. Paid 7500 up front trusting he was a great guy like the man who referred him. Boy was I completely wrong. Asked for a refund and he only refunded me 5k and said I wouldn’t be getting the other 2.5 because he did a lot of hard work. Really? Your secretary is the one who would have filed the motions and you didn’t even so much as drive to my location not the first time nor make a court appearance. In fact he told me to take a much needed vacation due to the fact I had a warrant out for me and never heard from him again. And it took me calling weekly for 2.5 months before receiving a portion of the refund. This is very bad practice sir. And I will be reporting you to the Louisiana broad of attorneys for the rude way you just spoke with me. Thank you And My God Bless your soul. Let my lesson be one learned so the next innocent person who works hard for their money whom actually needs justice from our wonderful law enforcement in this area. BE WARE EVERYONE! Some lawyers are crooks and hides behind their title.

David ensured I did infact receive and adjustment in my original custody order, however it was never signed, so not really enforceable. After years of fighting, and major concerns not being addressed, and Speaking to David only a few times, David last represented me for the other party being in contempt. I was told not to appear. I get a call that day stating we ate changing a few minor things. I stated there should be no adjustments. However both attorneys signed without concent. I asked for copies, transcripts, etc... finally after 6 months they sent it. He pushed for evaluations to occur when the other party refuses to even sign a paper. My case when from her proving why I shouldn't have my son to how else can we accommodate? Unreal and unacceptable. Avoid, he will not put in the time, but definitely charge you for it!

Choosing Mr. Hesser to represent me has definitely relieved momentous amounts of stress in regards to my case.

Horrible lawyer doesn't return phone calls and then tells you they never received a call. When you do get intouch with them they give excuses on why they haven't filed paperwork yet if you could give negative stars I would give negative 10. Do not use this lawyer unless you want your wait two plus years.

My name is Kimberley Jones,and I wanted to tell you about my incredible story and the help I have received from Charles Elliott and Associates. I was in a terrible car accident,it was not my fault. I called Mr. Elliott from the scene and he personally came to pick me up. I was hit from behind while at a red light on 28 west and the person came barrleling behind me, unbeknowst to me, at 50 miles an hour......... My car was very badly damaged and my neck,back and hand was severely hurt. He made sure that I got the correct medical attention right away. I was in physical thereapy for my neck and back for months and I needed to have a bone replaced in my hand. His staff at the office was very professional and kind. I am a widow and I was shaken up very badly. They continually checked in on my progress and although the driver had no insurance the owner of the car did..... Charles Elliott and his team made sure I got what I deserved. Have used them several times since for much smaller matters,but the care and attention to detail that this law firm provides is outstanding. I would recommend Charles Elliott and Associates of Alexandria LA to anyone who needed legal assistance of any kind. Thank you Kimberley Jones

Brown is the worst lawyer I've ever had the sad misfortune to deal with. She took my 72 yr old Grandmother's Money and lied to her! She didn't even try to defend me she didn't want to hear my side and said guilty or not I will have to plea guilty if I ever want to see my son again. She filled unnecessary motions that did not help my case (the motions hurt my case). After months of lying to me and my family she forced me to plead guilty to save her the work of proving me innocent, she lied about the terms of my release (it costs us way more money then stated) and now Brown is not answering or returning any of our phone calls. That's not even half of it but long story short Brown is very unprofessional and unpleasant to deal with, she will take advantage of you and give a poor defend while charging you $1000's, I wouldn't recommend Brown to represent a dog if it needed legal representation.

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.
