Tina helped me with my divorce and I am very pleased with the results as well as her support during the entire process. This was my first (hopefully only :)) divorce so I had a ton of questions throughout the time that I worked with her, and she was always very responsive whenever I reached out, keeping me well informed along the way.
Tina and her team are very professional, helpful, and supportive so everything went smoothly and I am very happy with the outcome, since I was able to get everything I wanted out of the divorce and more.

Juliana and her team are truly exceptional. They are thorough, professional, timely, and extremely caring. When we decided to adopt our foster son, Juliana was the obvious choice because of her exceptional reputation in the community. We are so thankful for her team and for making our forever family dream come true! You will not be disappointed in hiring her to be your lawyer in any family matter.

Regarding a matter that involves a family cabin that was taken into consideration during the process of estate planning, Morgan Legal Group did a wonderful job with the case to deal with the situation.
Furthermore, they consistently demonstrated a high level of sensitivity towards any queries or concerns that were brought up during the process. From the very beginning to the very finish of whatever was being done, this ensured that everything went off without a hitch and that everything occurred without any problems.

During the process of estate planning, Andrew did an excellent job of leading us through each phase of the process. He accomplished this by walking us through the process step by step. Not only was he extraordinarily comprehensive and well-organized, but he was also able to explain everything in a way that ensured it was easy to comprehend. He was a master of communication. I found this to be a very beneficial resource for those persons who had no prior experience working in the legal sector.

I worked with Andrew Schwartz and his legal team, on a renouncement of a co-executorship. The situation was highly emotional for me, but Andy and Sunny really helped me to understand what was being asked of me and what my options could potentially be. They made me feel like my case - and my feelings - mattered.
They were professional, approachable, and handled the challenges - and my emotions - with skill and confidence. I am so thankful to have had their help and guidance. If you want legal team who knows their stuff and genuinely cares, look no further!

“I would like to thank Ashton Malkin and his team at Ellis Group for their excellent work, professionalism, kindness and understanding. At a time when things were very stressful and anxious (my late mother's probate), Ashton was very undertanding and provided excelent advise, which was very much appreciated. I would highly recommend Ellis Group and would definitely use them again in the future. Many many thanks again for everything, you were brilliant”

I recently had a probate issue in Florida and Ellis Law Group was recommended to me by my Maryland attorney. I worked with Ashton Malkin on the case. He was always professional, kept me up to date on what needed to be done, and completed our business in a very timely manner. All of the paperwork was clearly labeled and explained to me throughout the process. As I do not live in Florida, it was nice to have someone there who looked after my case without my having to prompt him. I highly recommend Ellis Law Group and Mr. Malkin in particular.

In 2021, I faced losing my sons, as my ex-wife sprung an emergency motion to relocate them out of Florida. In a time crunch, I searched for the best family law attorney in Palm Beach County. God blessed me and I found Stacey. With professionalism and humility, she joined my family law attorney (who didn't have expertise in emergency relocation motions/hearings), and became a member of the team, and now of my extended family. After experiencing legal hell since 2020, we finally had our due process and day in court. The positive court ruling has given my family a chance at a new beginning, most importantly to the benefit of my sons. Stacey Mullins helped us realize this positive legal outcome. Her poise, brilliance, ethics, and experience is extraordinary. Most of all, she genuinely cares and zealously works to achieve justice.

Honestly, she got me through some of the most difficult times in my life, and I am very grateful that she was my attorney. I would definitely recommend Stacey.

We sold one of our houses we owned but the Title Company paid off the house we lived in currently instead of the one we sold. Big mess needless to say and I needed a good Attorney, Jan Morris was the man for the Job. He dealt with the Title Companies Insurance holder and got a settlement for our damages. He is a very nice guy to work with and easy to talk to as well.

I am finding it difficult to even put into words how grateful I am for the work Todd put into my family law case.
From returning phone calls on weekends, to filing emergency documents in the middle of the night, he was there with me every step of the way. I heard from many friends their lawyers were extremely condescending and unresponsive, so I was worried what I may encounter during my journey. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney than Todd. He took my case personally and does not even utilize a paralegal for his practice. He is hands on and does everything himself. He lives and breathes for his work.
Our intitial consult was on a Sunday. I called his answering service and he returned my message within minutes. While he never pressured me to retain him for my case, I hired him on the spot. It was the best decision I made.
My case was invovled and he had the knowledge and experience to see it through, despite many complications along the way. He definitely took an outside the box approach to several matters that ended up closing the case.
No one expects to need a family law attorney. However, should you find yourself in that position, Todd is an excellent choice.
Andrew was also briefly involved with my case and while we did not have much interaction, I was impressed by his compassion and appreciated the time he took to offer his insight as well.
On a final note, I found Todd's billing extremely reasonable and fair. Thank you to this firm for helping me through an extremely difficult time in my life.

I have high standards with regards to professional services, and I was consistently impressed.

I never thought needing an attorney ever. Unfortunately, Florida has way to many dishonest people. Somebody gave me his name and phone number and call. The next day, meet him and since, I needed him twice. In both cases he suggested me the best way, and won in both. Man, i liked the way he made this happen. Efficiently and in good time. I coudn’t hace been more lucky, running in to him, perhaps, God put me in his direction. He is simply an excelent attoney and person. Who ever hires him, i assure you, that he will do his best for you.

I was referred to Andrew Lieberman by a personal friend. I met Andrew for my consultation and at that moment I knew he was the one that would represent me in my case for custody/overnights for my baby boy. It was a battle to get overnights with my son and the mother was putting up every wall possible for me to prevent me from getting overnights. With Andrews professional guidance and knowledge of the law the case was settled at mediation as he had mentioned. I was ecstatic with the out come and blessed that Andrew was there to help thru the process. His professionalism, understanding and punctuality to respond to every answer of the opposing counsel was impeccable. He made this whole process easy to understand and cooperate with. I never want to go thru this ever again. But if any of my friends or family unfortunately have to go thru this they can rest assure that I will be referring my attorney and friend Andrew Lieberman of Law Office of WiseLieberman. Thank you Andrew to you and your team!!

Denise handled my modification of alimony negotiations. She was the only lawyer who told me without hesitation that my outrageous alimony settlement could be modified to my benefit. I felt confident that she could do the job and I retained her. Denise took a broad look at the situation with impressive psychological insight, paying attention to details, to circumstances, to recent events and history. She involved me in the process and we planned our moves wisely. Denise displayed her expertise on the applicable law and on the court system. She was resourceful, bringing in the necessary consultants,yet keeping reasonable expenses. She was very successful and now I know why. She is my kind of lawyer.

I cannot express enough gratitude to Tina Lewert and her staff for the exceptional support and guidance they provided during one of the most challenging times of my life. Tina was not only THE most knowledgeable and skilled attorney I could find (after much research and many consults!) but she was also a compassionate ally to me throughout my divorce process. From the beginning, Tina took the time to understand my goals and my many concerns and she consistently provided clear, practical advice om every issue. She was always responsive and made me feel heard which is exactly what I needed. Thanks to her expertise and strategy, we were able to achieve a successful outcome in my case (even though she astutely told me "no one ever wins or loses a divorce"). I'm just so grateful to have had Tina and her very experienced and patient staff on my team and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a dedicated and effective family law attorney.

She has proven to be...the best!

Tina is a wonderful attorney. She guided me through my ugly case and ultimately her wisdom lead me to successful settlement of my case. She wasn’t afraid to advise me of the pros AND cons of my case, and the legal system which can be brutal, and I always felt like she was being straight with me, instead of just telling me what I wanted to hear like another attorney I spoke with. Tina is quick on her feet and I could also tell that she is respected by judges and other attorneys (by the way everyone treated her when we did have to go to court to finalize the divorce once settled). If you need a strong, confident divorce lawyer who also happens to be a good person, hire Tina Lewert.

I came to see Anne during the worst week of my life. I was an emotional basket case. She was very professional and made time to see me right away. I hired her and a few days later decided to try to work things our with my husband. She was very supportive of this and told me she thought I was doing the right thing. I did not expect to hear this from an attorney. I felt she was not all about the money but more about doing the right thing. I respect her for that and would use her again if I needed to move in that direction. I am also being refunded the unused portion of my retainer fee. Excellent experience based on the situation.

Dan represented me in a personal injury case that went to trial. He not only won the case and won a substantial judgment but he did it in a most resourceful and creative way. He thoroughly researches the facts, anticipates what opposing counsel will do at trial, and is prepared when that counsel does what he has anticipated. He is an excellent reader of how juries will react. I would HIGHLY recommend Dan for any person who has experienced a personal injury or been injured in an accident. He keeps his clients informed throughout the process and is outstanding in every way.

If you are looking for a personal injury attorney in South Florida, I strongly recommend my attorney Dan Haverman. I was hit in a car accident and even though I am myself an attorney and know many personal injury attorneys, some of whom are good friends, I never hesitated in calling Mr. Haverman. I trust him fully and know many others who also do the same. His competence and knowledge is as a result of close to 3 decades of practice and can not be questioned. He was always responsive to my requests and has always kept me informed through mail, text and phone calls about the developments in my case. I wholeheartedly endorse Dan Haverman. Give him a call. You will be glad you did.

This past Spring during COVID-19, I virtually purchased a home in Delray Beach Florida. My relocating from New Jersey to my new primary home in Delray Beach was very stressful and not the easiest thing to do. Especially, when you have to rely on people that you do not know and never met before. Erika assisted in completing my move, as well as prepared me for the closing on my new house. She treated me like a friend that she had for many years. She was extremely responsive and answered the numerous questions that I would constantly ask her. Sometimes, I called her office every day. In addition to Erika’s personal touch with the legal services that she provides, Erika has an amazing Paralegal, Amber, that does fantastic paralegal work. She is extremely thorough and efficient. Amber made my move and closing process a total breeze! These two women are absolutely incredible. Their honesty and integrity far superseded my expectations of any law firm. If you are looking for an outstanding law firm, please look no further. Rodriguez Law is the law firm for you! Thank you Erika and Amber for assisting in paving the way to my new life in Delray Beach! I now have an attorney that I can always rely on in Florida!

Let’s face it, divorce is never something that is easy or painless for anyone involved. It forces us to expose our “underbellies” when we already feel vulnerable and afraid. The Ozelie team was incredibly sensitive to the tender emotions involved. They were very fair towards finding middle ground for a settlement, yet protective of my interest in their legal approach. They were available many times outside of normal business hours, and always respectful of my position and perspective. If you unfortunately find yourself in a divorce situation, I HIGHLY recommend and encourage you to reach out to OZELIE and determine if they are a fit for you. BTW, I have now retained them for representing me on some legal issues one of my adult children is facing. Long story short…If you are looking for 100% TRUST, RESPECT, and CONFIDENCE navigating the legal waters, I personally wouldn’t look any further than them.

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.

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.

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.

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.
