Mr. Richard Burton and his son Marc are truly the best. I had a very complicated case about a dispute with a Homeowner association pending for almost five years. I  was at risk of losing my possession. When I called their office, they immediately began working on the case, and they were able to get me what I deserved. I appreciate the assistance I received from these two excellent attorneys.
I Â highly recommend this firm. They are very responsive and will keep you informed of every step.

Helena is truly the best in her field. She is responsive, direct and straight to the point and she get's the job done in the best possible way. My ex didn't want to respond on divorce until I hired Helena and she did what was needed to make him respond. Btw he was unpleasantly surprised when he found out who I'm working with because Helena is known for winning difficult cases. Overall, I'm very happy I hired Helena for my case and I would suggest her to anyone who has to go through divorce.

I hired Mr. Irlin to help me with complex business dispute which involved very large investment that I made into a company.
Alexander was right on point and focused on every detail of my case from the initial consultation until conclusion of the case, and I was able to recover my investment (which I thought I might have lost) within short time of hiring Mr. Irlin to represent me and all of my expectations were exceeded by Mr. Irlin's professionalism, legal expertise and personal attention to any and all of my questions or concerns.
I wil recommend Law Offices of Alexander Irlin to all of my friends and relatives who might have any legal issues in the future and also will hire this law firm without any hesitation if I ever need a lawyer again.

Mr. Irlin is one of the top Florida legal experts in the area of business and real estate law and has handled several legal matters related to my company.
Not only I would trust and rely on Alexander's expertise to handle any legal matter for me, but I have also never met another lawyer, that would give each client the highest level of undivided personal attention and would respond to any and all questions or inquiries coming from his clients right away, no matter how slight or insignificant client's question might seem.
I recommend Mr. Irlin to anyone who is looking for a top legal expert with enormous amount of legal experience, but also wants to hire an attorney who genuinely cares for his clients and who always addresses each and every legal need of his client.

I was recommended to Jeannette several times. When I spoke with her she was different from other attorneys I had spoken with, not only was she Genuine but had an immediate action-based Plan, and strategy,. I had a complex case and she was decisive and mapped out clearly what needed to be prioritized. She championed the case with such Integrity, ease, grace and never losing her cool with the NPD opposing party. Jeannette was & will always be a Beacon of hope to my family at a time one our options were limited and daunting. Not only did Jeannette defend us like no other but her empathetic demeanor was heaven sent. My family and I are eternally grateful for her service and I highly recommend Jeannette without reservation.

If you are reading this is probably because your life has been turn upside down just like mine and my family’s. We were fortunate enough to come across to Mr Lurvey’s name in such a difficult time. From day one he was very professional and honest. He is very, very did I say very knowledgable about the court system and the laws and he knows how to work with them. If I had a horrible experience like this again I would not doubt one moment to hire Daniel A. Lurvey. He is by far the best lawyer you can get in difficult times.
Some times bad things happen to good people and you need someone knowledgeable like Daniel Lurvey by your side.

Olivia has been nothing less than a top notch attorney for me. From our first sit down, she was notable for knowing the law and possible outcomes of my case, where my ex-wife emptied out our joint bank account. Even though the case was simple, she exceeded to go above and beyond in prepping the case, informing me of all that was happening , and keeping everyone accountable for their actions. We were able to settle in mediation, and she was fierce, on point, and knew of hand what documents would stick and which wouldn't. A great lawyer and person. Thank you!

Ms. Olivia Retenauer is an exceptional attorney! I had hired three lawyers prior to her and I must say that none compare to Olivia. She and Celina at The Rios Law Firm are top notch. Olivia recently handled my case which involved terminating my soon to be ex husbands parental rights. She maintained an open line of communication with me at all times and worked very efficiently. Both Olivia and Celina are very knowledgeable and unlike most attorneys, both were also very compassionate and listened to all of my concerns. Olivia exceeded my expectations by far and helped me attain the outcome that I desired (what was best for my child). I will definitely recommend Olivia and Celina to any friends and family should the need arise. Thank you Olivia and Celina for everything you've done. I am forever grateful.

I am not related to Mr Franklin, though I wish I were.
There are no words to describe how happy I am to have hired him.
He is tireless, knowledgeable, professional, honest and exemplary in every way.
I can say with all candor he is one of the finest professionals I’ve ever had the honor to work with.
I was desperate and dejected after receiving bad advice previously.
He literally turned things around, and it was not easy. Fighting against unethical and dishonest people is hard. He and I persevered due to his remarkable hard work and dedication .
I love him not only as a lawyer, but as a brother and friend. His team, Nicola, Samantha and Jessica, thank you all from the bottom of my heart. We will never forget you!

I have never before written a review of a company, but due to the poor service experienced and nature of the business, I feel it is important to do so.
Simply put, Liliana and Kaplan Loebl overcharge and under deliver:
an abundance of elementary mistakes, unpreparedness, poor communication, lack of follow through.

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.
