First of all I would like to thank Miss Ramsay. About a year ago I lost everything. My home my children everything. I did a consultation with Miss Ramsey the day after everything happened. There was no sugar coating she didn't try to fill me with hopes and dreams she told me the facts and laid down the realistic possibilities of fighting in family court. Miss Ramsay and her paralegal never ignored me or made me feel like my case wasn't important to them. There were several Court hearings never-was Miss Ramsey late or unwilling to talk to me before the hearings. She constantly kept me up-to-date on everything that was going on in my case. I did not feel that there was anything she did that I did not know. I would suggest Miss Ramsay to anyone that is having any kind of legal family issues. She help me fight my OOP and was there with me through the entire process. Because of what happened I had not seen my children in a year. And because of Miss Ramsay I ended up getting 50/50 custody as well as joint decision making of my children. Going through family court with an attorney as an extremely expensive proposition. But I say this with all honesty if you want a family attorney that is honest and will be there and listen I would suggest no one else than Miss Ramsay. And that every single penny you spend with her will be worth it.

Sean Campbell's strategic expertise and unconventional yet highly effective methods were crucial in our dependency case. With years at the Attorney General's office, his unwavering support and strategic approach made all the difference. He puts in the time to understand the inner workings of your case, and I am tremendously grateful to Sean Campbell for being the key to a turnaround in my case, which was a highly complex situation. In what initially seemed impossible, these highly effective methods proved to be the turning point. With his lawyering, we successfully resolved most of the issues of our dependency case outside of court, a testament to his ability to handle complex situations. His unwavering dedication has immensely impacted our lives, and I cannot express enough thanks. Don't let his Top Gun photo fool you; Sean Campbell is a highly skilled lawyer who consistently delivers results out of court. His determination, knowledge, strategy, and street-smart approach ensure he doesn't rest until he achieves the best outcome for his clients. He's a beast of a lawyer.

I had the pleasure of working with an exceptional lawyer recently, when my ex-boyfriend informed me after 7 years that he wanted to modify his parenting time, and I am thrilled to share my positive experience with Sean Campbell. From the very beginning, Sean demonstrated an admirable level of honesty, setting clear expectations and providing transparent advice. His punctuality was impeccable; he never missed an appointment and always respected my time, which greatly contributed to the smooth progress of my case. What stood out the most was his genuine care and concern for my well-being. Sean consistently checked in to see how I was doing and how I felt about the developments in my case. This personal touch made me feel valued and supported throughout the entire process. His communication skills were outstanding, ensuring I was always informed and understood every step we were taking in this case and with terminating the paternal rights. Moreover, his dedication to my case was evident in the way he meticulously prepared for every aspect. He took the time to study with me, ensuring I was well-prepared and confident. His professionalism shone through in every interaction, reinforcing my trust in his abilities. Overall, my experience with Mr. Sean Campbell was incredibly positive, and I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a hardworking, honest, and caring lawyer. Thank you Sean for everything!

I was amazed at how fast Zelma handled my case! It was last minute and I was in contact and in a meeting with her mere days before my court hearing for disputed child support modification. She handled my case with such precision and made sure that my concerns were addressed. She was so very informative about expectations of both sides of this legal nightmare. She gave clear explanations of what to expect but fought for what I was deserved. I could not say enough nice things about her! I definitely recommend Zelma to anyone who is overwhelmed and in desperate need of legal help!

Zelma represented me in a very acrimonious divorce. I honestly don't know how she put up with all of my emotions for 2 years. She was always very calm when I wasn't, and would explain the law or strategy in layman's terms. Zelma was sincerely interested and caring about the outcome of my case. She explained circumstances matter of factly even if I didn't want to hear the outcome. Zelma is extremely knowledgeable in family law. I recommend Zelma Letarte 100% for an affordable and winning attorney. I can honestly state that after my divorce I learned how to move forward and not backward with bitterness because of her caring nature during and at the final decree of the divorce. I am a very strong personality and I learned a lot about empathy and fairness from Zelma.

As a dad going into an uphill custody battle, I was terrified of what was to come. I had heard all the dad horror stories, of how they put up a fight but in the end the court system sided with mom and more child support was to be paid by the dad. The thought of coming out of this with a victory was a mear desire, and I was convinced that it would be like trying to find ET (only in the movies). But then this amazing person/lawyer was recommended by my wife. And everything changed after bringing her onboard with us to this uphill battle. Her incredible knowledge and attention to detail has been key to our outcome. For Karla there is no hour too late or task to daunting. In court she doesn’t back down from other lawyers while being attacked by them, and she stays a true professional at the same time. Out if court she has coached me, and helped me navigate the backlash that comes with these battles. This terrified, and hopeless dad won custody of his daughter thanks to Karla, and her undying, relentless efforts to get us an unprecedented victory. It is very cliche to say “there are no words to express our gratitude” but it is so true. Karla i will be forever grateful, and in your debt.

I have had the pleasure having Angela Enholm representing me for my family court case. She works around the clock ensuring that my money is spent where it counts! My Children! She fights in court, she will advise you on courses to take to be proactive, to have that next step completed before the courts advise what each family will have to do to gain custody, or to keep custody. Angela will take the time to prep before court. Angela also has an amazing staff, that is on top of all documents, and exhibits needed for filing!

Relentless, resilient, unbridled, unwavering, steadfast, dogged, persistent, and tenacious are just some of the words I using when describing Enholm law firm. I will start from the beginning, Angela and her staff have always been professional first and for most but have that personal touch that makes a HUGE difference when dealing with family law matters. Everything in life starts with communication. Enholm law firm has always answered the phone with in just a few rings and returns emails in a timely manner. If I didn’t know that Angela and her staff had other clients I would think that I was the only person they dealt with. I cannot say enough about the amount of support that Enholm law has provided during the duration of my family matter. They have answered all of my questions in a supporting way without given me a false sense of hope at the same time. Enholm law does everything they can to reduce the amount of stress their clients are experiencing. If you need to go to trial with Enholm law you will feel very confident heading into the court room. They are meticulous in their preparation and make sure that you completely understand what is going to happen. Every person I have had the opportunity to interact with at Enholm law is first and foremost a professional and second a friend that is there to listen to your needs and concerns. I will always recommend Enholm law to anyone that has a family matter that needs legal assistants.

I've had 3 lawyers since I got divorced 10 years ago and this is the first one who actually did what she said and said what she did. I'll admit, it was a rocky road at first. Kristen is relaxed and hard to rattle, and that was new to me. She helped calm me down when things got dramatic and asked me to be patient with ththe process, and I'm glad I did. Before trial she explained exactly what to expect and when we went to trial she was calm, organized and assertive. Our ruling was in my favor and almost exactly what she predicted it would be. hopefully we don't go back to court again but if we do I'll call her in a heartbeat.

I am also very pleased with the fact that she does a lot of her own work and doesn't rely on a paralegal, so she's always up to date on the proceedings. She is just a very genuine person that happens to be great with her job as well..

When I hired Kristen I was a wreck, scared I was going to lose my kids. She listened to me throughout the process and was very reassuring. She was thorough and fair in representing me and always worked to fix things instead of creating more conflict with me and my ex. Thanks to her we settled without having to go to a trial and I was happy with the terms we agreed to. Since then my ex and I have had a few issues and Kristen has always been willing to take her time and talk to me about how to best resolve the situation.

What can I say about CH except that he is the perfect hybrid of resilience and compassion. His innate ability to see obstacles in such a unique manner which enables him to figure out a solution no lawyer will see coming is what makes him THE MAN! He won't use a sledgehammer or a huge pogo stick to get through or over the wall.... he simply dissolves the weakest weight - bearing brick of the wall and watches her come tumbling down! My divorce and child custody issue is as messy as it gets. International - possible kidnapping, physical threats - all the pieces for a really good Lifetime made for TV movie.

Brilliant is the best way to describe Cody Hayes. I had an extensive, and very complicated child custody case that spanned over several years (I used many different well known attorneys and still did not accomplish my goal). Cody Hayes is extremely intelligent and knowledgeable about family law and noticed things that my previous attorneys all missed. Ultimately, he made what I had thought was impossible actually happen for me. After all these years of fighting with my ex husband in and outside of court, Cody helped us work to find the solution. Now my ex husband and I are able to communicate, and co-parent. Thank you so much Cody!

Mr. O'Connor also was able to prove to the judge that I was active in my daughters life previously despite what her mother attest to.

I highly recommend Ms. Schmaltz! In an extremely emotional and challenging time she was excellent at working through the necessary steps and helped me immensely when further circumstances made my situation even more tramatic. She always kept me aware of where we were in my divorce process and was always available to answer my questions or simply lend an ear of support in a very trying time. She and her office staff were professional, caring and served in my best interest at all times. I would definitely recommend this team to anyone needing a divorce lawyer!! Thanks Jane and staff for getting me through to the other side!!!

My wife and I hired Ms. Schmaltz to assist us with an animal law case. We are dog breeders located in Washington State and one of our puppies was stolen from us and sold to a person in Arizona. Ms. Schmaltz was exceptionally easy to work with remotely and she helped us to come to a mutually acceptable settlement with the Arizona family. She is knowledgeable and professional and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking an animal law attorney in Arizona.

I was visiting from out of state and was involved in a motorcycle accident. With all the headaches of dealing with auto and medical insurance I decided to get a lawyer to help me. My problem was I needed an Arizona lawyer to represent me. I was referred Stan Marks. I never had to go out of state to get this handled, everything was by phone or email. Stan, Coleen and Cookie were great to work with and far exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend him and his team.

First class from the opening greeting. Stan Marks and his paralegal Coleen Chavira are nothing short of everything you want and need in an attorney. Professional, thorough, communicative, easy to contact, and straight to the point - they don't waste your time or theirs. My sister was in a horrific car accident that took her husband of over 15 yrs away from her - the only man she ever dated. Her life changed instantly because a tourist couldn't wait to see the Grand Canyon. I hired them on a blind referral (a friend of a friend of a relative), and never looked back. While the family was working on my sisters physical well being, Stan was dealing with auto insurance, medical insurance, legal 'stuff' and all manner of outside 'noise', and did so with my sisters interest first. He doggedly tracked down monies and resources other attorneys would not even had looked for. Could not have been more pleased with how things were handled and the end result. The only pleasant part of an otherwise horrific experience.

Tiffany is absolutely an incredible attorney. She is very skillful and knew exactly what to do with my case. Tiffany is professional, quick at responding to any questions that I had either through email or phone call, and just made me feel a sense of relief ever since the beginning. During my trial she was very organized, extremely thourough, and knew what actions to take. Her pricing is fair and her firm is very friendly and clean. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone that is taking on a stressful situation, as I believe she is the best! I am so thankful for all she did for me and I am happy for what my future holds thanks to her.

Prior to hiring Tiffany Scott to assist with my child custody case, I had a total of 15 consultations with attorneys from all over the valley. I felt confident with my decision to move forward with Tiffany for many reasons. The #1 reason was because I felt she was the most genuine and transparent about my options and possible outcomes, while others pretended they could guarantee the outcomes I wanted, which you find out very quickly into a family law case that it is not possible. At every stage of the process, Tiffany took the time to provide me with every possible scenario so that I could make the decision I felt was best for myself and my son. It was critical to me to always have a realistic picture of what I was getting into and what it meant for my son's future relationship with me and with his father. Another reason I appreciate working with Tiffany so much is because she immediately provided tips on how to save money on unnecessary attorney costs, such as minimizing emails and phone call costs by asking as many questions as possible at once. As a single mother, saving costs was very important to me and other attorneys I had consultations with suggested to immediately pursue temporary orders, which ultimately would have been a costly and unnecessary step in my case. Additionally, there were not any minimum hours billed for physical court appearances while one attorney I spoke with charged a minimum of 3 hours for court appearances. A 3rd reason I loved working with Tiffany is because of her timely response to my emails and phone calls; and her clear, detailed and effective communication, which I felt ultimately saved me costs by minimizing back and forth emails or calls. I could go on for a few more paragraphs on why I will undoubtedly hire Tiffany again and refer Tiffany to anyone looking for a family law attorney.

Divorce is such a painful process, but Brad will make your way easier. I was at a low point when I came to him, but he listened and took me through each step with intelligence and compassion. I have since recommended Brad to friends, and they have had the same excellent experience that I did.

I was referred to Brad from a friend and now I definitely owe her dinner. Unfortunately, as many know divorce can be exhausting, frustrating and nerve-wracking. Mine had all of those moments due to my ex-husbands shenanigans but I always felt and knew Brad had my back and my best interests in mind. He was very much on top of things and always had lines of communication open for me anytime I needed. I can't say enough about his professionalism and demeanor. I am very satisfied with the results of my divorce and how well Brad handled everything even with following up with me once the divorce was final. I will definitely recommend Brad to friends or family in need of an awesome attorney.

So I had scheduled a consultation thru the Pima County Superior Court because I was told that well known and reputable Lawyers host free consultations for people like myself that didn't have a clue on how to complete certain court documents. So since I first walked in he greeted me and introduced himself right away. He asked my situation and I took out TONS of papers and scattered over the table and told him that I was super confused and started the Full Custody process but didn't know how to close it or continue to the process. He stopped, thought for a minute, began digging into the paperwork, he asked tons of questions (which shows interest and demonstrated initiative in the matter) and, as he listened to my story; he organized EVERYTHING, telling me what I had to do next. With 7 minutes remaining on my consultation he began giving me instructions on how to complete the paperwork and BAM, I would be set or he could help me at his private office down Grant Rd. I took Andrews card immediately and he scheduled me at the 1st opening he had! Over all, my paperwork is completed and now waiting for my Default hearing, j feel very confident and prepared t ok close this finally thanks to Andrew. He was courteous, aggressive, Very Wise on how to handle the situation, EXPERIENCED, very affordable, He Even Stayed with me about 30 minutes or so over his closing time just to help me get it done ASAP (Which most have you reschedule), BUST MOST IMPORTANTLY... I felt like he cared, he is genuinely doing this line of work for the people Not For The Money But For The People. I witnessed that from day one. And That Is Why He Will Be The One & Only Attorney I Will Trust And Go To For Now On. Thank You Andrew, Thank You So Much! I Needed This!

The amazing legal service he and his assistant provide is only rivaled by the level of genuine and sincere care that they have for their clients. After a horrible experience with my previous counsel, I hired Mr. Lewis for a messy custody relocation case, and I will trust and seek his advice for any legal matters that I may have in the future. I’ve recommended him to a couple close friends of mine, and told them they’d be crazy if they hired anyone else.

I was afraid that my divorce, just like most, was going to be long, arduous and painful. As a result I interviewed numerous divorce lawyers in Tucson and found each had a different take on my situation. Obviously I was frustrated, until someone recommended I look into retaining Mr. Lewis. Mr. Lewis and his staff are amazing, to the point and get things accomplished. Period. They took the time to explain the process, what was Law and how it pertained to my situation. Mr. Lewis kept me informed and his staff walked me through it all. I would never have been able to get through this without Mr. Lewis and his exemplary staff. Honest, straight-forward and results that I approved of. I highly recommend you contact his office for a consult and retain him. Without question the best decision I made was to go with Mr. Lewis and his staff!

Met Lionel through Fasttrackdivorce.com. Pure chance selection from a list of attorneys practicing non-adversarial family law. Lionel is a very approachable individual with a deferential personality. The collaborative process we started did not succeed in the end, but Lionel, during the course of the two years it lasted, warned and coached me, first with a view to success, then, when it became apparent that collaboration was failing, he spelled out approaches to take in order to proceed with as much success as would be possible. He seems unique in that he took the initative to treat us all to snacks/lunch. He was always prepared, friendly, very knowledgeable of the law, and in no way shied away from voicing his opinion. It was with some sadness that our professional relationship ended, my having to hire a litigator, but a personal friendship has evolved, which I am enjoying to the fullest.

I was lucky to have such a professional, compassionate and experienced attorney as Lionel Galperin to represent my interests through the dissolution process. I am glad that we chose the collaborative approach where team of trained professionals followed a structured process to help us identify mutual goals, consider various scenarios, develop parenting plans, and make mutual decisions. As my advocate on the team, Lionel Galperin understood my position on all aspects of the case and expertly represented my interests while achieving a fair settlement. The preparation of legal case work was thorough and timely and we were kept informed at every stage. The non-adversarial team approach provided all the resources we needed to facilitate communications, financial planning, real estate decision making, child welfare consultation, and administrative matters. They also brought in experts to help with pension valuation and military law matters. If you need a collaborative law attorney, I highly recommend Lionel Galperin.

It is rare to find a lawyer with even one good review written on them on the internet, yet alone several. To have several and have them all 5 star is unheard of. It is the reason we met with her, hired her, and we have yet to be disapointed. Virgina has earned them all! She took on a VERY complex and difficult case with issues going back over 2 years. The case is still ongoing but could not be more pleased with the results so far. She really knows her stuff and goes at it with diligence. We have had 2 lawyers previously who left more than a bad taste with their extremely costly errors, lack of knowledge and plain failure to show up! Virginia has renewed our faith that there really are lawyers out there that you can trust to do the job you would expect them too. You will NOT be diappointed in her representation of you!

Virginia is the kind of attorney that will get things done in timely and respectful manners. She tells a client why she takes a certain approach and keeps clients up to date with changes and info. She is a fantastic attorney as far as knowing her way around the law and facts and combining that knowledge with tact. She was a word of mouth local area referral that turned out to be a true blessing and affordable. A client definitely gets their monies worth. Virgina does her home work to stay sharp in the practice of law. I was very impressed that she will listen to her clients fully and if you are honest with her she will be honest and work best for you. I appreciated her vigor in the court room being the aggressive attorney I needed for my case. Virginia is more than competent and I'm thankful to have found her. I highly recommend her.

Elizabeth assisted me with an issue involving damage to my home. I live in an HOA and the roots from a tree they had planted and maintained grew under my foundation causing extensive damage. Elizabeth prepared a professional and thorough settlement request to the HOA's insurance company, which resulted in them paying for all of the damage caused by the tree! I never could have done this on my own. Elizabeth was patient with all of my questions and though this is not her typical area of law, she was very knowledgeable. Elizabeth treats her clients with care and concern and she is someone you want on your side when dealing with stressful and difficult matters. I can't thank Elizabeth enough for her time, patience and expertise in getting this matter settled.

My wife and I realized that our home somehow wasn't included in the name of our trust. The original work was done by Mr. halls law firm several years ago. As in most things, several laws had changed, making our trust somewhat ineffective. After consulting with Mr. Hall, we decided to completely update the document. We are now up to date with all of federal and state changes in relation to all of our needs. We want to especially thank Mr. Hall and all of his associates that worked on this project. Our home is now included on our property deed in the name of the trust. We highly recommend Mr. Hall and his firm. They also treat you like family, and take the time to discuss all issues in language we could understand. Five stars doesn't seem to be a high enough rating.

I was a client of a very well known reputable estate planning firm in town ( Phoenix) for 6+ years. I sought to have my Trust reviewed after my Mothers passing as we had experienced a number of issues with her Trust. I researched many local attorneys and came across the firm of MHK. I am very happy with the decision to meet with Mr Hall. Mr Hall was immediately able to review my then current Trust and point out major areas of concern!!! I found him to be very knowledgeable. A true blessing for me. I do not know how my family would have been able to overcome the issues they would have been facing if I had not had my Trust reviewed and revised!!! I am so grateful to Mr Hall for his professional help as well as his compassion and understanding.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
