I couldn't be more impressed with Jay from the Hall Underwood Law Firm. My husband had asked a question on AVVO regarding a situation we were dealing with with and Jay responded very quickly and offered a consultation. We knew immediately after speaking with Jay that we would hire him to help us with our legal situation. Jay always had our best interest in mind and was also very upfront to set expectations through our legal battle which was much appreciated. He was always incredibly quick to respond to our emails which made communication a breeze. It is so hard to find and attorney you can trust that actually cares for you. We can't thank you enough Jay for everything you did for our us. If you're looking for a family law attorney please contact the Hall Underwood Law Firm. The Cole's

Attorney Jay Hall took my call as an unscheduled appointment and talked with me about my case, helped me navigate a few potential obstacles and I feel much more prepared to make sure I get my rights heard as well. Thank you Jay, I will recommend you to others.

My experience working with attorney Justin Call was exceptional. He is very personable. I felt comfortable working with him from the very beginning of our first meeting. I wanted to set up a Trust. Even after looking online to educate myself, I was still somewhat unclear about all that was involved. Justin was very patient and knowledgeable as he explained the various aspects that were important for me to fully understand. I was able to ask questions that he answered clearly. I grew more confident in what I needed to do for the Trust, and how it worked in general, due to his supportive demeanor. It was a great time saver that our first 2 meetings were virtual. I appreciated his staff setting them up to fit my schedule. Reminder emails were appreciated. When I went to Justin’s office to review and sign the documents, he continued to take the time to make sure I understood everything I was signing. Working with Justin was a pleasure. Because of his hard work and commitment, I now have a complete Trust I fully understand. I recommend him to anyone who expects an attorney to be committed to your needs and to work hard in your best interests. Thank you.

Justin Call was an amazing landlord/tenant lawyer. He was knowledgeable and helped me with everything I needed. Incredible service as well

14 Nov, 2023 by Cesar aparicio

I recently had the privilege of consulting with Attorney Justin Call regarding an appeal for my case, and I must say, my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the outset, Justin demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal intricacies involved, which immediately instilled a sense of confidence. What truly set Justin apart was his ability to convey complex legal concepts in an understandable manner. He patiently explained each step of the appeal process, ensuring I was fully informed and comfortable with the proceedings. His dedication to my case was evident through his meticulous attention to detail and his proactive approach to addressing potential challenges. Moreover, Justin's empathetic and supportive demeanor made a typically stressful process much more manageable. He was always available to answer my questions and provide reassurance when needed. Overall, my experience with Attorney Justin Call was outstanding. His expertise, coupled with his genuine commitment to his clients, makes him an invaluable asset to anyone navigating the complexities of the legal system. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective legal representation

I wrote a negative reviews yesterday and it was taken down by this law firm. I thought that was against the law? I better call an attorney. Krista Banfield was my attorney. She was horrible after our first initial consultation and $5000 later she did nothing except Cosme damage because she didn’t file paperwork she promised. I only got to talk to Paralegal who acted like she was an attorney. What a fraud. Beware. You know it’s bad enough to get a bad attorney, but this one actually caused an additional hardship.

I hired Mr. McKindles to represent me in a complex lawsuit involving business, real estate and family law issues, which we won. His analysis and strategy skills are excellent and he was very responsive each time I contacted him. I highly recommend him and would definitely use him again.

03 May, 2016 by Pamela

John is an excellent attorney. He helped me to resolve a very complicated estate involving siblings and in-laws after my mother passed away. It was a very difficult time in my life, but John remained calm and compassionate, always keeping me well-informed and explaining in detail my legal rights as a beneficiary and the best legal course to take to accomplish a fair and just result in my case. John is well-grounded and very confident in case law and litigation. He quickly learned through filings and investigation all facts and moved immediately to preserve all assets to which I was entitled. His explanations were reasonable and clear. Within a very short time-frame, my claim was resolved with the best possible result. I highly recommend him to other clients.

When looking for a lawyer I did my research I looked through pages of reviews for every lawyer I considered. I read Donna’s reviews after my consult with her and regardless of any doubt they may have cast I knew she was the one for the job. I could tell that some were true and others were not accurate at all based on my own experience. Donna is a hard woman of great character and was very ethical in handling my case. She knows her information and she listens (which can be costly if you talk a lot) Let me be upfront. Legal custody dealings are not something anyone ever wants to have to go through. Figuring out how to navigate the situation can not only be stressful but highly emotional and not just for you children are also affected by custody battles. I unfortunately had to go through this and it was an incredibly high conflict type custody dealing that I would not wish anyone to ever have to experience. I was referred to Hougen family law through a domestic violence advocate group when their connected lawyer analyzed my situation and determined he was unequipped to handle the brevity of my case. He sent my information to Donna and let me tell you she was everything that I had told the lawyer I was looking for. I had specified I preferred a female and one who would be brutal. Donna called me I believe later that same day and she took her time going over the aspects of my case with me and letting me know what I was headed into and kind of an idea of how to begin to navigate what I had gotten started. Coming from my situation I did not have a lot of money to hire Donna and her team right away but I was convinced she was the one I needed to have represent me. I had consultations with quite a few law firms and each one informed me that I was looking at an uphill battle and the result was not a guarantee which is understood when the custody of your children rests in the wisdom of the Judge you go before. The standard quote was well into the 5 figures from each law firm. Donna Hougen presented herself much more clearly and in depth than any lawyer that I consulted with. Her price range was no lower but she worked with me and honored my discount with legal shield as I couldn’t use there lawyer because of a conflict of interest. Right from the get go Donna Hougen was brutal and not because she was on my side but because she heard and went through the details of my case of which I was tied emotionally to and she helped to set aside the emotion which was by no means easy and many times downright painful and frustrating to be pushed to do. It was absolutely needed though because even through the pain of it Donna Hougen knee that the most important part to me and over all was the best interest of my children. Many times I had blinders on because I had experienced the situations and I could not fathom how someone could not just hear that and give me absolutely everything. Which when it comes to children it is unrealistic. Children who are caught in the middle of a custody battle have two parents who are important to them in unique ways and even if the other party is not a good person in your eyes it doesn’t diminish the role they play in your children’s lives. I knew this but again was clouded by my emotion and my rightness in the situation. Donna Hougen would listen to my concerns and be straightforward with me which felt brutal to me but after I had processed I would be able to understand more where she was getting me to. Not that I liked it in the least but she was impartial and honest. When I hired Donna I did it on a unique basis. At first I could only afford the retainer and structured my billable hours around getting advice and doing what I could to complete the pieces I could to maximize Donna’s help. For trial prep Donna took her time & made sure I was clear in the process and time constraints. Also I understood the importance of sticking to facts with evidence. My outcome was favorable but would have hired Donna either way!

06 May, 2018 by Laura

Donna Hougen is an excellent attorney who prevailed in my two trials obtaining me a substantial award of spousal maintenance (8 years) and child support (5 years). Her knowledge of the law and trial experience was the only reason I could start my life over with the awards the judge gave me. Donna can be tough yet compassionate and I appreciated that combination because it helped me stay focused on my case and as a witness in my own trial. Donna also won an award of my attorney's fees to be paid by my ex-husband. I would highly recommend Donna.

Donna and her staff made me feel so welcomed. Donna was very informative and took her time explaining to me the law and my options. I appreciate her time and absolutely would recommend her. Thank you Donna!

One of the scariest experiences in my life was figuring out what was next for my son and I after his dad and I split. It was a rough time in my life, but I knew that I needed to find an attorney and I needed to find a great one. I walked into Cantor Law Group and met with Natalie Mathew’s and right away she made me feel comfortable and made me feel that everything WILL be okay. That was the exact thing I needed. She always had my best interest in mind and was willing to do everything in her power to get the things I needed that were best for myself and for my son. I was so worried about finding an attorney because you never know what could happen, but I am so glad that I found her, and I would recommend her to anyone. She is really a remarkable person and an amazing attorney!

Five stars for Attorney Natalie Mathews! Under unusual circumstance and fiery apposing counsel, the Cantor Law Group, more notably, Natalie L. Mathews, executed her duties as a family law attorney in a superlative manner. Attorney Mathews, deserves respect, because, she presented our case, in accordance to our and her, high moral standards. As a result, we were able to make positive progress out of an unfortunate turn of events, concerning child custody. When attorney Mathews accepted our case, I honestly must say, the interminable progress up to that point, had brought-on justifiable doubt, of a favorable decision, by the court. With a well informed session of facts and history of our case, attorney Mathews, confided to us, her knowledge of family law, experience and courteous optimism. Her unvarying professionalism, resolute commitment and experience, held true to her word. In the end, we faired in favor of the court. My beautiful granddaughter will remain in my life and my daughter-in-law can live joyfully, together, as a family; forevermore. I strongly recommend the Cantor Law Group as an advocate for your family law issues. We were treated with dignity and respect throughout the entire process. The law group worked diligently and were very informative with their correspondence every step of the way. Attorney Mathews maintained close contact with my daughter-in-law, ensuring that she was always informed of the groups legal actions and plan. Natalie Mathews, brings great credit upon herself and to the Cantor Law Group. Her knowledge, skills and court demeanor are second to none. We sincerely, like to thank Natalie Mathews and The Cantor Law Group for their due diligence in presenting and achieving a favorable decision in our child custody case.

I retained Natalie in May of 2018. I found her knowledgeable and pleasant to work with during a very difficult time. I appreciated her expertise and kindness. She got back to me quickly when questions arose. I would recommend her to anyone I know needing family legal services.

I called Mr Peterson to ask one question in regards to my divorce in which I made the mistake of not having representation from the beginning . My divorce was down to very end with the final decree being ready to sign . Mr Petesom not only answered my question, he pointed out some inadequacies in the decrees and suggested revisions on a couple stipulations . For the very very very fair amount that I paid Mr Peterson , his professionalism and expertise and unequivocal knowledge of AZ divorce law saved me potentially up to several thousand dollars . Mr Peterson is a stand up man , empathetic , and is not only looking out for his own pocket book, he truly put me and my case 1st .

Divorce is an incredibly challenging time and your mind races, and it’s tough to think clearly. Chris and his team did an amazing job of listening and helping me through this very tough process. And he did it in a very straightforward, non-lawyer way. Look, you want a team on your side to explain in simple English what is happening and what options are available. Chris did just that. I highly recommend this firm!

Review for Kate Simmonds I highly recommend Kate Simmonds for anyone in need of a family attorney. From the moment we first met, she put me at ease with her deep knowledge of family law and compassionate approach. Kate handled my support case with professionalism, always explaining each step of the process clearly and offering practical advice tailored to my unique situation. Throughout the case, Kate was highly responsive, consistently returning calls and emails in a timely manner. She kept me informed at every stage, which gave me confidence and reduced a lot of the stress that comes with family law issues. What I appreciated most was how Kate truly listened to my concerns and worked hard to achieve a fair and favorable outcome for me and my family. Her negotiation skills were top-notch, and she fought diligently for my interests while still remaining professional and respectful toward all parties involved. Kate Simmonds is not only knowledgeable and skilled but also compassionate and understanding—qualities that are so important in emotionally charged family law cases. I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking reliable legal guidance in family matters.

He always gave me honest advice with the highest level of integrity. If I had to do it all over again, I would pick Chris to be my attorney 1000x over, a true treasure.

David’s law expertise is truly unmatched. He gets things done and delivers exactly what he promises. I was accused of severe charges I did not commit and felt so helpless. Having the law against you with such small odds can make you feel so anguished. David assured me and my family that I’d be home with my name cleared and here I am writing this review to bear witness of his expertise. He’s extremely thorough, professional, and compassionate. He treats you like family and is well prepared from having plan A-Z. I am a free man because of David Bednar and I am grateful for him and his team.

Mr. John Trebon..PROFESSIONAL, KNOWLEDGEABLE, & IMPRESSIVE IN ACTION! We had a difficult Criminal case filed against us being accused of 2 Felony charges. The dispute on this matter began back in 2019 and to no resolve by the end of 2023 which was an exhausting couple of years. Then the harassment & felony charges were made in the beginning of 2024. We hired Mr. Trebon to represent us as our new counsel as he came highly recommended. We are very grateful to this day that we chose him! We worked very closely with him in providing all of the documentation to support our case. He took all of this information and turned it in to one very strong case of being Not Guilty! His extensive knowledge of the law is beyond impressive, but what was even more impressive and stood out was his performance in the Court room when it mattered the most! Both cases he has represented us in over the past few months were DISMISSED and we are beyond grateful to him. We would highly recommend hiring Mr. Trebon and his team Suzy & Jan for any of your legal needs. Thank you all!

I want to express my sincere gratitude to John Trebon and his team, Suzy & Jan, for their exceptional service and dedication to my case. Their professionalism and commitment exceeded my expectations. John not only demonstrated a deep legal knowledge, but also showed genuine empathy towards my situation. Thanks to their hard work and attention to detail, I was able to achieve a favorable outcome in my case. I highly recommend John to anyone in need of quality legal assistance. Thank you for everything!

A Beacon of Legal Expertise and Dedication Having experienced challenges with the legal system, I want to share my experience with John Trebon and his office staff Suzy and Jan. After an initial representation with a less-than-favorable outcome, I found John Trebon through a referral. He took over my case, and the difference in dedication and results was significant. From the start, John Trebon showed a high level of commitment to my case. He reviewed every detail and crafted a strategic approach that was innovative and based on settled case law. What set him apart was not just his legal skills but also how vigorously he defended my rights and interests, and the respect and patience I received from him and his assistants. Facing an unreasonable prosecutor and a challenging legal system, John fought tirelessly. His professionalism and integrity were evident in every interaction, with both the court and me. It was clear that John had earned the respect of his peers and the judge. This respect came from his experience, ethical conduct, legal knowledge, and dedication to justice. John’s efforts led to a complete dismissal of my case. This outcome seemed beyond my hopes, especially considering the civil rights issues he addressed. John represented me with the belief and vigor as if the case were his own. For anyone facing legal challenges, I highly recommend John Trebon. His representation protected my relationship with my children and my livelihood. John Trebon is not just an attorney; he is a champion for his clients.

My stepfather passed over a month ago and I have not heard a single word from Mr. Davenport. I call and leave messages and he has not returned any of may calls. I don't understand why Mr. Davenport can't make one simple phone call and explain what is happening with my stepfathers will. Is he waiting for a time period to expire so no one can contest the outcome of the will. Remember you took an oath and you have had more than enough time to do what you were paid to do. I now will be sealing legal counsel of my own to further direct me in this sad situation. Thank you Mr. Davenport for caring about your clients and their family's.

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.

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.
