David went the extra mile to make sure I was defended in my lawsuit. He was realistic about setting up my expectations for the outcome & walked me through the entire legal process. He did research on previous lawsuits of this type & fact checked all my documents to ensure I was fully ready for the deposition. David was compassionate towards my situation & worked hard to understand my side of the story. He was able to get a better outcome for me than I had anticipated which I am fully satisfied with. I have used David's services in the past & he is always consistent about his process, the fees associated & the expected outcome. I would recommend his services to my closest friends & family members.

I was first introduced to Mr. Tafelski years ago as my court appointed attorney. For anyone who doesn't know, a court appointed arrangment is not profitable for the lawyer at all, his fee couldn't have even covered his fuel expenses. It was basically pro bono. Anyway, I was facing a felony possession conviction and did not even have the money to bail myself out. Paul took my case all the way. He brought me a suit to wear to court so I did not have to wear jail "clothes". Paul not only tracked down a witness for my defense, he drove 30 miles one way just to remind the witness of the court date and make sure he would show up. When we went to jury trial Paul was a straight up stud. This guy is money in the courtroom! It was awesome. It was like watching a movie. I couldn't believe it. The bottom line is, Paul won the case for me and I was found 'not guilty'! Haha,Then Paul told me to keep the suit. The absolute best part was the look on the prosecutors face when the verdict was read. It was certainly different than the menacing sneer that she continuously shot my way throughout the entire case. The look on the face of the police officer who testified against me wasn't bad either. My life has since turned around dramtically for the better and I have hired Paul for everything from my divorce to restoring my license. Someone at Paul's firm is reachable at all times and I have never felt better represented. I have never once felt rushed and people I know are amazed at how much time Paul always spends during consultations. I will never need any other attorney for as long as Paul practices law and I would recommend him to anyone who needs help. If your looking to hire an attorney who actually cares and shines in a court of law, Paul Tafelski is your man!

My case was quite unique in a sense that it was over a decade old. I had a previous lawyer and also represented myself to the Secretary of State without any good results, year after year. Long story short, Paul was able to clear me from the mess I had created in my underage days as I had moved from the state of Michigan and reside now in California. He was very professional and knowledgable with the little information he had on me long distance and handled my case very well. All in all he got me out of my bind and cleared my record. I recommend him for any OWI or DUI case you have.

I can’t begin to describe how much Chloe helped me. She represented me in one of the strictest cities. She was able to help me avoid serving time in jail and got my charge reduced. She worked diligently to get the best outcome for my situation. Her efforts will never go unnoticed and I will always recommend her services. Thank you Chloe for representing me, thank for all of your hard work and for making this stressful situation easier.

I hired Chloe for a DUI incident that happened in June of this year. From that day she has kept me updated with the entire situation, kept me calm (which is very hard to do), stayed positive, and above all was a friend through the entire process. She helped me know what to say to the judge, presentence investigator, and probation officer so that my case could be brought to the best resolution. We got the best outcome that I could ask for which was a short term of probation, and after all was said and done she helped me figure out what to do on an unrelated civil issue that I couldn’t employ her for. If it was me facing a judge or jury, I would hire Chloe Hickson time and time again. Thank you Chloe!

Not only did Chloe slam dunk my case (without a trial), she was at my side with hardly any notice. Family court stuff, in my case, custody/parenting time, is never fun to go through. Chloe heard me, understood me and fought for me. I walked out of the courthouse today feeling peace and comfort. Money can't buy that. 100% satisfied! Thank you for your hard work and professionalism!

I've worked with Jim on a few different different issues, and couldn't have been happier to have him on my side. When planning for a trust, he was straightforward and easy to understand, making the normally daunting process simple for us to breakdown and get our paperwork together to begin. I've also had him advise me on a few legal matters and appreciate his honesty and attention to look at the whole picture and explain it from all sides before jumping in. Nobody wants to be in the situation of needing legal advice or services, and I felt assured that Jim advised me in the direction that was best for my needs, not what was best for his pocketbook. His honesty and integrity stand out amongst other lawyers I have used in the past.

Without any knowledge of Cronin I was led to this lawfirm from a a bit of Intel where I ended up on the phone with a firm more local, but the team there couldn't help me. That same firm suggested I called Cronin and though most of the phone calls between the team and I were loud because of my work, I was surprised that notes were taken well and I didn't have to repeat any information on further calls and conversations. Overall I'm another step forward in getting a grip on my situation thanks to Samantha Faulkner at Cronin Lawfirm.

Samantha was all in from the moment she was hired to assist with my post divorce litigation. Samantha was not only an incredibly well organized and knowledgeable member of my legal team but was a caring and compassionate person as well. I knew that she was really in it for what was best for my children and for me. I really appreciate all of the hard work that you put into my case and on behalf of my children - regardless of the outcome - I thank you Samantha. I would HIGHLY recommend Samantha's services for ANYONE in search of a qualified family law professional.

Next to custody issues, is there a hotter topic than vaccines/medical between two parents that are divorced and do not see eye to eye on said topic?? What I really appreciated is that Samantha may not share my same concerns about vaccines, but she guided me objectively and accurately through my possible options and described how she could be of assistance to help us draft an agreement. My ex is a very difficult and duplicitous person to deal with. As a very loving and involved parent herself, I know family law has to be challenging. On the flip side of this, I know this makes Samantha a passionate (and tenacious) advocate for her clients. In the event that I need someone in my corner in a family court, I will definitely call Samantha!

I had the fortunate experience of having Albert Holtz to advise and represent me in my unfortunate life experience...a divorce from my husband of 31 years. I went to Attorney Holtz (Al) with no knowledge of how to proceed or what to expect in filing for divorce. His professionalism, expertise, courtesy and care gave me peace of mind. He was up-front, open and honest. He kept me abreast as to what to expect every step of the way. He watched out for me in every aspect of the divorce process. Al gave me confidence and courage in the face of adversity. Albert, I can't say thank you enough. ... "IF WORDS COULD EXPRESS" If words could express my gratitude they would have a heart so full that it palpitates on the verge of a quiet combustion with beams of red, yellow, orange and blue; The words would be warm to the touch; They would feel cozy and soft; They would speak with a quiet and sincere voice; If words could express... If words could express my appreciation They would have trotting feet racing to meet you; They would have a face that shines like the sun and a head held down in respect; They would have a heart so full that it palpitates on the verge of a quiet combustion with beams of red, yellow, orange and blue; The words would be warm to the touch; They would feel cozy and soft; They would speak with a quiet and sincere voice and say, "Thank you. Your caring way means so much to me." ~Bonita

I would highly recommend Al Holtz to anyone who is looking for an attorney. While searching for a divorce lawyer, I interviewed three attorneys (both men and women) and am very glad that I selected Al. He is experienced, knowledgeable, and cares about his client as well. Al takes the time to get to know his client and listens to what is important to them. He is patient, hard working, efficient and keeps his client well informed on the progress of their case. As my divorce progressed, I felt that I could completely trust Al to take care of my interests and to manage my case. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my divorce. I would highly recommend Al Holtz.

Attorneys Marc and Ryan Fishman are WONDERFUL! From the start, Marc was very patient and explained every step to me in layman terms. He always returned my calls or answered my emails within 24 hrs. When it was time to "fight", he protected me and fought a good, clean BUT strong fight. His level of legal experience was noticeable to all involved. I've never had to use a lawyer before and I thank God that my first time was with the Fishman Group. Marc dispelled the negative pre thoughts I may have had. Hopefully I will never have the need for a lawyer again, but if I do, I'm immediately calling the Fishman Group. I can best describe this law firm with three words...INTEGRITY, HONESTY and COMMITTED. I pray that God will bless them and every client they touch. If you or someone you know needs a lawyer, I 100% recommend these exceptional lawyers!

From her candid responses, direct guidance all married with her gentle understanding makes her a force to be reckoned with. Divorce can be such a sad and lonely road. And when children are added to that mix, divorce can feel so scary. Sherri took her lawyer hat off when talking to me directly and made me feel like a human. She frequently check on me and made sure that I understood my decisions based on the next steps. One of my favorite traits of Sherri is that she has this family like approach. She never made me feel like a pay day. She literally made me feel like an extension of her life which made me trust her and her approach even more. She owned every experience as if it was affecting her directly. Sherri protected the integrity of my hard work as a future single mother both from a financial and a parent perspective. She put in her all and assisted me in obtaining the healthiest situation for my children and myself. If you’re looking for a force with a family feel all while knowing she is truly working for you and your family, Sherri is your rock. She was mine. I adore her and will be sure to partner with her if ever needed again!

Terrible communication. I hired him and paid him $7500 for my divorce and he barely spoke to me, lied under oath at the mediation and sided with my ex husband. Horrible lawyer.

Lorne is a great attorney. He is tough when necessary, but also reasonable and fair. He won't drag out a case just to make more money. He discusses options and costs every step of the way, and he allows you to make sound decisions based on his advice. He is very knowledgeable of the law, and is smart with settlement numbers. Not only is Lorne a great attorney, he also is a great counselor. He is insightful and can recognize the games played by the other side. He helps you keep your patience, and focused on your goals. Lorne performed above and beyond in my case and I would recommend him to anyone.

I hired Lorne to handle a very complex family law matter when another attorney had failed. Lorne was not only able to understand and handle my case, he did so with tenacity and compassion. He is very well respected by both judges and mediators and he is respected and feared by opposing counsel. If you want a smart, tough, honest attorney who cares about your case and has the respect of everyone in the family law arena, Lorne is the best there is.

Lori Becker is a consummate Professional; a Phenomenal Attorney and just a GREAT person to have on your side!! She is very smart, wise, incredibly knowledgeable of her profession, extremely skillful at negotiations, and has a hugely compassionate heart. She is not judgmental. She has Amazing Grace & Severe Mercy and patience for her clients. Lori Becker is passionate about equitable outcomes and solutions in divorces. She knows that no one got married hoping for a divorce. But divorces still obviously happen. Lori fought for what really mattered: my daughter!! There are three types of negotiators: the Competitive (they have to win & you have to lose); the Conquered (one who gets run over and cannot or will not fight for their clients); And then there is Lori, The Collaborative One (she reaches mutually satisfactory outcomes while not exploiting either side). Lori Becker is definitely a Collaborative Attorney. She gets win-win results. She cares about her clients and mutually satisfactory outcomes in delicate situations. I hope I never have to use her services again because divorce is traumatizing. But If I do marry again, She will still be my attorney and now my friend also.

I will forever be grateful for Lori Becker. She was able to get what could’ve been a very volatile divorce done peacefully and quickly. Not to mention it was a considerable savings not to have battling attorneys. I never would have dreamt things could have been done so quickly and thoroughly. I literally tell everyone to see her if they want things done right.

We hired this law firm to assist with guardianship and conservatorship. The law firm was wonderful...to start with. This law firm does not help with the entire process. We were asked to withdraw counsel before the first and final hearing for conservatorship. We were told that the law firm does not help through the whole process because conservatorships can last 7-8 years, despite ours lasting less than a year. They left us to complete the legal paperwork on our own. Also, they suggested to create a trust to avoid probate. This was frowned upon by the court because they did not ask the court's blessing before it was done. The law firm told us the trust was not funded, which was not accurate because it was funded with the house, which by the way, had a lady bird and the trust messed this up. We also tried calling Rutkowski about help with probate, despite being a client, three weeks later we had not received a call back. This law firm was originally referred to us. We would not recommend this law firm, unless you want to pay alot of money for bad advice.

We would like to express our highest gratitude to Givi Kutidze for his unbelievable professionalism and assistance in every step of our immigration process. From the very beginning, Givi explained and coordinated all the nuances. He would respond to hundreds of our emails, no matter the type, and no matter where he was at that time. We would always feel that we had 100% support behind us. During the duration of the process, Givi would constantly monitor any changes in regulations from USCIS, NVC, and protocols from the Embassy to make sure everything was going smoothly. Not only is Givi an amazing Immigration Attorney but he is also compassionate, polite, understanding to others feelings, and very kind. We were extremely fortunate to have located Givi within the long list of Immigration Attorneys. In such a complex process as immigration, it is impossible to know the ending. However, with Givi we did not doubt a single second that everything would go well. We sincerely thank you from the bottom of our heart for everything you have done for us! If there were more than 5 stars, we would give those too. With love Peter and Kseniia

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.
