While it seemed a fairly simple, cut and dry, 50/50 scenario in my head, it didn't start off that way. But even with the hurdles thrown our way, this team stood beside me the entire way and kept me optimistic. I am extremely grateful for Ken Aube, Erika Gonzales and the other staff at Natalie Gregg for their fantastic communication and consideration of my time when dealing with my case. I would absolutely recommend this firm for their outstanding services.

What I like about Sarah Rose and her assistant, Danielle was that They are fast and responsive. I was in a bad situation with domestic violent, got CPS involved. They got me Protect Order right at the moment where I needed the most. I thought my case would take awhile to finalized but It resolved at the time where it should be. I got what I was asking for. The whole process was smooth. Despite the fact that I was very busy with unexpected things that threw at my way, they were patient with me. I would recommend the firm.

Nick did amazing! I needed him on a dime and he was there and I got my son back immediately after he was being held from me unlawfully. Mistakenly I used a crook of an attorney before him and she did absolutely nothing for me! Nick did more for me and didn’t even charge me a fourth of what the other lawyer charged me! Also he has the most amazing paralegal Amanda, she was there when I was scared and panicky to make sure I was okay and to assure me that everything was gonna be okay!

We had a great experience with Shahzad. We hired him for my husband’s immigration process (H1 to green card), and he has been nothing but honest, as well as thorough. He has been very flexible and accommodating with meeting times and has been prepared with all necessary documentation. He helped us prepare for the green card interview and has very comprehensively guided us throughout the whole process. We highly recommend him!

I have had the pleasure to work with Greg Whitten on family, civil, and criminal cases, for over ten years, in one instance on a tough liability issue we obtained a large recovery for each of our clients. Greg is reasonable, ethical, and tough. Solid co-counsel or a formidable opponent he represents his clients well and never quits when a case gets tough.

This attorney represented me in a family matter. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for availability for communication even in regard to another case I had pending & felt I was being poorly represented. She kept me informed & even drove an hour to discuss my case face-to-face before my first court date. She is professional & ethical. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a good attorney in Collin County. She was actually court-appointed to my case & honestly I felt better represented by her than any attorney I've hired in the past!! Thank you so much, Kara!

It was through these reviews that convinced me to obtain Sandy as my attorney. It is only fitting that I now write my own.
My case was a little bit different, I had a very bad initial experience with a different attorney so coming into this I new what I was looking for. I wanted someone who was assertive, who had patience with me, who would explain every little detail to me, who would not force me to sign anything I was uncomfortable with, and who would stand for what I wanted to fight for.
Sandy was all of that and more.
At times, I felt like I was her only client by the amount of time and dedication she put forth on her end. I really felt that she was fighting alongside of me [ and not just for me], the case mattered to her just as much as it did to me. Sandy made sure I was prepared by calling me every day if necessary, answering all of my emails almost instantly, and stayed up until the late hours of the night going over things with me.
If ever need be, I would obtain Sandy in a heartbeat. She is worth every cent.

Sandy was amazing. Throughout my process, she gave me sound advice and truly advocated for me. I felt lost for most of the process, but she kept me strong and worked my case appropriately for a favorable outcome.
If you are looking for an attorney who will truly fight for you and your best interests, Sandy is the obvious choice.

It was horrible experience, She do not know about complicated Immigration matters, she does H1B petitions and family law but not immigration issues, Do not waste your time and money if you are looking for immigration matters like i130 petition, i485 adjustment. I approached another law firm where they have suggested options on how to proceed with my case which is in process currently.

I only had half of the money required for him to help me, however he pushed my case as far as he could and was able to get me expanded rights to my children. I didn’t have enough money to continue his legal counsel through the final process and still won expanded rights. Once I have him paid in full I plan to use him again for any and all legal issues

I had Jessica as part of my divorce defense and she is fantastic. Absolutely wonderful! I was in a real mess when I came to her and Neda but they kept me informed all the time and I can’t say enough nice things about her. She’d even email me late at night. It was very impressive to see her working for me like she did, even so late in the evening! I will forever sing her praises for helping me through this difficult time.

Our family found ourselves in a very difficult situation a couple of years ago and we had no idea what to do. We spent weeks interviewing many lawyers and there was no doubt Mr. Wadas was the one we wanted by our side during the hardest days we had ever faced. Mr. Goheen joined Mr. Wadas later to help with my cases. They put in great effort to get my two severe cases dismissed. From beginning to end they answered my questions in a very timely manner, always kept in the loop of any developments, and helped ease any concerns or anxiety I had regarding the cases. They are knowledgeable, very sharp, kind, straight forward and never sugar-coated any situation or possible outcome. They genuinely cared about my cases and fought to ensure that an innocent person wasn’t bullied by the legal system and negotiated with the prosecuting attorney the best results for me.
We simply can't say enough to express our gratitude to them. I would strongly recommend Mr. Wadas and Mr. Goheen for their outstanding service.

When I searched for a divorce attorney with five stars I expected someone to walk in with a folder full of glossy pictures of crying ex-spouses in court and settlement checks. I found an attorney who cared more about saving marriages than destroying them. Sometimes perspective is worth the investment. I found my consultation very informative, the team to be professional. I’m glad I called and this is a great group of people.

Dana Palmer is honestly the only attorney I would refer anyone I cared about to. It was a pleasure to work with him after having worked with a not so great attorney. Dana is a man of integrity. He gave me the honest truth while another attorney dragged out my case, never told it to me straight and took a lot of my money. Dana did the complete opposite which was so refreshing and needed. If you ever find yourself with the unfortunate need of an attorney you would not regret the decision to use Palmer Law.

Previous to meeting Mr. Warmbrodt and his team, three separate attorneys from different firms had given me bad advice, overcharged, and underperformed. Mr. Warmbrodt and his team were quite the opposite. They were knowledgable, kind, the communication was fantastic, and they worked hard to get the outcome I wanted. My case wasn’t large in the grand scheme of things, but they never made me feel that way.

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.
