I hired Ms. L'Italien to represent me in filing for bankruptcy. From the very start she showed a genuine interest in my personal circumstances and I could tell she truly cared about achieving the best outcome for me in my case. Certain aspects of my case were complicated to say the least and Ms. L'Italien was extremely thorough in handling every nuance. I especially appreciate her communication and flexibility - she always let me know what the status of my case was and was even willing to meet with me after hours when needed. Thanks to her handling of my bankruptcy I'm getting my life back!

I hired Jonathan for a fried a while back for a custody case that was all over the place. Not only was he able to fit all the missing pieces he was so professional answered all my questions and walked us through the whole thing step by step and it was a complete success.. And also why I hired him for myself after my divorce I was given a petition for custody for the kids we have together and sadly his dirty tactics didn't work Jonathan was so forceful and direct there was no way it was ever going to go in any other direction other then in my favor. And it did just that. The case was fully grated in my favor and support was finally being received. I owe it all to him I just couldn't do it alone.. Highly recommend if u ou want to win your case.

Highly recommended. Mr. Keith Santillo handled legal issues surrounding old tickets issued in NJ from 1993, which were affecting the renewal of my FL Drivers License. Once Keith took over, the matter was successfully resolved as he promised. I was unable to resolve this matter on my own.
Keith also resolved a business related matter of non-payment for materials and work performed. Again, he knew exactly what to do. The matter was resolved quickly and we were paid immediately once Keith stepped in.
Keith is very knowledgeable and has his client's best interest in mind. We will continue to use his services.

This entire law firm is absolutely great! Amy is on top of everything and makes sure you are comfortable through every step of the way. I would recommend her to anyone looking to adopt.

We retained Amy after our Adoption became Contested. Having no legal knowledge of how adoptions worked it was a relief to have Amy walk us through every painful step. She worked diligently at times I would of never expected, including conducting depositions on her own daughters birthday and through the grieving of the sudden loss of her Mother. Never once was there an excuse and she was always one step or more ahead of any opposition. To say she is an Expert in her field is an understatement! She would always make sure that we were "ok" Mentally with the horrific ordeal we were facing and that she never expected us to take time away from our Baby. Encouraging us to talk with our LCSW. She never laughed at any of my Husbands absurd questions which was a huge plus.
I am proud to say that we have made a Friend for Life by hiring Amy Hickman and would recommend her 100%. Our 16 month Journey would not have been as tolerable without her, it was fate she was brought to our family. I honestly can say I miss talking with her every single day.

He taught my daughter so much about the process she had to go through . He was compassionate and he was generous with his time. In the end Tyler saw through all mess that my daughter’s ex created.

I reached out to Taryn for a consultation and was immediately impressed with her sensitivity, compassion, and really smart advice. She never rushed me, and instead took her time to really listen to see how she could help me in any way that she could. I am so lucky to have found Taryn to help me with my case. Finding a Family Law Attorney who will take the time to really listen to your individual situation as opposed to making you feel rushed or like you are just a number, is very unusual. I look forward to having Taryn help me. and highly recommend her. She is the real deal.

I have literally never met an attorney who genuinely cares about her clients. I came in to her office as a single mother with not a hope in the world that she or anyone else could help me get what I needed to guarantee what was in the best interest of my child. She is silent but deadly when the time comes and will fight for you until the end. Please, if you find an attorney who seems "practical" do not choose them, come here because Taryn will fight through to achieve the impossible.

A kind word never goes unheard, but too often goes unsaid. Cynthia's knowledge of marital law is so extensive I had to comment on how impressive she is. She doesn't pull punches. She analyzed my situation and told me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to hear. This clarity was not only helpful from a legal standpoint but for emotional well being, too. Her sincerity was greatly appreciated. Having Cynthia guide me through my situation made it easier to sleep at night. She is passionate about her work and she provided me with a strategic plan. I am very grateful for her counsel.

She droped the ball from day one when she did not file and the other party filed first. Getting her on the phone or to respond to emails was next to imposible. Mediation she recomended a private meadiator which was a joke. When it came to trial she was totaly unprepaired even though I had every text message and recorded notes every day on the events that took place these were never even brought up in court. She basically sat there and told me to do the same. Please if you care about your children do not use her unless you want a fly -by-the-seat-of -your-pants lawyer who just wong it in the court room and did not prepair at all.

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.
