Due to family issues I have unfortunately needed to contact and work with different attorneys over the years. I reached out to Micaela for a child custody matter. A minor child, who was a relative, was being abused and I needed legal advice and potentially an attorney. I am very happy I reached out to Micaela. In my first face to face meeting with Micaela I could tell something was different. She didn't just listen for key words or phrases. Micaela asked questions that demonstrated she was genuinely concerned. After the initial consultation I knew I wanted to hire her.
During the family court process, Micaela was honest about what to expect and what actions were needed. Many times I would express frustrations with government officials, and sometimes the system. Micaela was always able to help me put thing into perspective.
Working with Micaela I felt like I had a genuine advocate. She wasn't just an attorney I hired to help get a family member out of danger, she felt like a genuine partner. She always kept me informed about each step along the way. Micaela and her team were also very prepared when anything needed to be filed. Before any court appearances or filings, Micaela explained what motion was going to be filed and why. When I would ask questions about the judge, or the proceedings, or any other legal matter, Micaela was ready with an answer, or she would always get back to me in a timely manner. I appreciated her humility and honesty.
The qualities I appreciated most about Micaela were -
1 - her honesty - she was upfront about expectations
2 - her humility - she was not afraid to acknowledge her own limitations
3 - her preparation - she always had a plan B (and sometimes C) and she always explained my options. Knowing she was prepared gave me confidence in court.
4 - communication - her office was quick to respond and open
5 - genuine - I felt like she genuinely cared about my case.
6 - tenacity - I felt good knowing I have a "bulldog" on my side. I felt comfortable hearing Micaela be my (and the minor child's) advocate. I felt as if she was fighting hard for the child's safety.
I would hire Micaela again in a heartbeat. Hopefully I won't be in need of her services ever again. If I am ever in need of an attorney for child custody, Micaela will just be the first person I contact, she will be the only person I contact.
I'm very thankful that Micaela was available when I needed her services.

I would definitely refer other to Micaela and her firm.

Before I hired Willow my divorce was never-ending and a complete nightmare. I was almost 3 years into it and being taken advantage financially and custody wise. I needed a top -notch attorney on my side and Willow not only delivered, but she exceeded my expectations. She managed to settle with the opposing side outside of court and avoid impeding trial! She was professional and obviously well liked by all who work with her, including me. Willow is extremely quick thinking and is absolutely one of the smartest people I have ever met. Her solutions to very difficult problems are very creative. I will absolutely recommend Willow to any friend of mine in need of a great Family Attorney. Willow walked by my side through the most difficult time in my life and I trust her completely!

How could I describe the acrimony of my divorce? Hmmm? Maybe as a dumpster fire, wrapped in a train wreck, placed inside an asteroid hurtling towards Earth. In other words, everything about my divorce was nightmarish aside from my dealings with Willow Anderson.
Willow managed to secure for me a miraculous settlement under truly difficult circumstances and, throughout the long, hideous process, she helped me keep my spirits up. It’s one thing to have stellar legal chops. It’s something all together different and extraordinary to have empathy and humor alongside professional skill. Willow Anderson has both in spades.

I consulted with Sophia on a family matter case and she was so helpful and honest about the situation and what she could do to help. She was professional and was there for any questions I had. I ended up hiring Sophia for my case and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. I'm so glad I hired her because I had no clue on how to handle the case. She was able to clearly state what the best option would be and jumped right into action. I would definitely recommend Sophia to anyone looking for an attorney!

Reggie was always very professional and helpful with guidance throughout this ordeal.
When prosecutor offered us some options Reggie helped us to understand all of the possible consequences of agreeing with them.
We followed his recommendations of staying on the original path that we had talked about.
The end result of aquittal was exactly as he predicted.
I would highly recommend him to everyone and I would recommend following his advisement.
We found him to be trustworthy, loyal,focused and genuinely caring.

I worked with Jeff while at Moss & Barnett. He is very diligent, professional, and skilled. Although I have no experience--yet--in his skills in bankruptcy proceedings, I'm sure he'll perform with same vigor, skill, and professionalism. I look forward to refer any of my clients who have a need for consumer bankruptcy representation, to him.

Mr. Lin is an effective attorney who is thoughtful and diligent in his approach to each legal issue presented to him. Mr. Lin has performed work for me in matters such as, but not limited to, negotiating and drafting business contracts, reviewing existing contracts and providing ongoing legal advice as needed. He has been an excellent litigator for me when I've needed to initiate and defend against company lawsuits.
I do not enjoy the legal aspects of being a business owner and Mr. Lin brings a level of security and peace of mind when it comes to disputes, both big and small.

I ave used Amanda for several custody issues. She is phenomenal. She provides clear and factual advice, easily taking out the emotion out of the situation and getting you to focus on the long term best result. I have passed her name onto others all with glowing reviews. Even with a good co-parenting relationship, I keep Amanda's info handy as questions or conflicts still arise over time.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience under less-than-ideal circumstances with worker’s compensation. Denise and Conrad were quick to respond when I had questions and explained every step very well. I contacted them after being jerked around by worker’s compensation insurance company for an injury. Denise helped me get more treatment that improved my injury and negotiated a good settlement. I would recommend them to anyone and would use them again in heartbeat!

The team at JD Hass & Associates can only be described as awesome.

Cortney Whitehouse excelled working with me for well over a year on my difficult divorce case. She was kind, understanding through various delays or difficulties that arose, and professional despite antagonistic and ridiculous behavior from the opposing party’s representation. Cortney also made sure to make the most of my time and financial resources. This is a situation where I’d never hope to need her again, but I would have no hesitation to make her my first call or refer others in need of similar assistance.

Originally I had hired Dennis to consult me on an unpaid employment check, of my late husband. Soon after Dennis was working with me on the sale of my home, which rolled right over into probate matter. He worked several months without pay just with the confidence that he would get me what I had to do. Patiently educating me along the way. Simultaneously, I needed legal representation in the matter of child custody. He passionately and aggressively got me through several legal matters over the past year of my life. He and Shirley have a guided me through and stood by my side during the most difficult situations during the most difficult time of my life! He has been professional and proficient and I would highly recommend him, to anyone who needs legal representation in a multitude of situations. He’s smart as a whip, he’s
listens to everything, and helped me weigh through what is best for me. He’s been honest, and really straight forward. He’s answered his phone, to consult with me when his been sick and even when he took a short vacation! This is the kind of attorney you want working for you.

I first contacted Mr. Felix to get advise on my upcoming divorce. My ex was unreliable and did not follow through with obtaining a mediator. I then decided to hire Mr. Felix to handle my divorce. Dennis, is very knowledgeable in family law matters. Dennis worked with me as we tried to bring a resolution to the table that was fair to both parties. When things made an ugly turn and accusations were made about me that were not true. Dennis and Shirley worked very hard to prove the information that was presented was inaccurate. The team at Felix Law worked extremely hard to help me get joint custody of my child. There were a lot of circumstances involved in these proceedings and Dennis always had the best interests of my child in mind. We were dealt a few setbacks along the way but Dennis stayed on his course and was always confident that the outcome would be what we were looking for. Dennis was always honest with me throughout this whole process and I would recommend him to anybody needing legal assistance with family law matters.

He seemed nice enough at first, but he ended up being somewhat rude and made several comments that were just plain unprofessional. I saw him for my divorce and was considering bankruptcy. He used up the $2500 retainer on ONE response to my ex-wife's summons. I gave him all the financial information he asked for and watched him spend 2 hours trying to get it into his own spreadsheet and do some formatting. Why should I have to pay for his lack of computer experience? Very disappointed. I'm still going through this process but I'm pretty certain I'll be changing lawyers.

Ms. Donner was hired to represent me in a divorce. She did NO appreciable work on my file. The only thing she did was make excuses about why she hadn’t done anything. Ms. Donner could not even get simple discovery responses to the other side after months of my asking her to. She asked for 2 different continuances because she never prepared for trial. Hellmuth and Johnson did not have the staff needed to run a law office. I kept receiving other client’s documents- including confidential wage and medical records. Staff didn’t know how to obtain medical or bank information or check what was in a Sharefile link. Hellmuth and Johnson charged me $12,000 over the amount we had clearly agreed upon. Ms Donner refused to bring a motion asking for more fees as the judge had ordered her to do. Stay Away!

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.
