I highly recommend Jillian for anyone in need of a personal injury lawyer. From the very beginning, Jillian was dedicated to resolving my case efficiently, even when faced with significant challenges from the insurance company. She made sure to answer all of my questions and was always there to reassure me when I felt anxious about the process. Jillian continuously fought for what was right for me, and I truly trust her expertise and determination.
What stood out the most was that Jillian wasn’t just focused on the legal aspects—she genuinely cared about my well-being. She regularly checked in on me during my physical therapy and even asked about my dog. Her personal touch and commitment to my case made a world of difference.
If you’re looking for a lawyer who is both professional and compassionate, Jillian is the one you want on your side.

I had the privilege of working with Jillian during a frustrating (for me mostly lol) and somewhat challenging personal injury case. She and 2 others were referred to me by my employer, and after interviewing all 3, I felt most comfortable with her and confident that my case was in capable hands. From the very beginning, she was friendly and professional at all times, and demonstrated exceptional legal expertise, compassion, and dedication. Jillian kept me informed throughout the process, patiently answering all my questions and helping me navigate the healthcare/medical aspect of this super fun journey. I appreciate all she did for me and how easy made the whole process. Having her in my corner truly helped minimize my stress A LOT. Thanks to her hard work, we achieved a favorable outcome. I highly recommend Jillian to anyone seeking legal representation and would refer her in a heartbeat.

I was glad my financial advisor referred me to Ron.
My Revocable Trust was due for a review and I also needed to make a few changes. Ron was very detailed and explained everything in a way that was easy for me to understand. I was very satisfied and will be going to Ron with any future Trust issues or changes that need his expertise.
I would definitely recommend Ron. Ron and his wife Sharon are a great team. I enjoyed meeting with them. It wasn’t just about the paper work, they made you feel at ease, you could tell they really care about their clients.

I am pleased with the service and connection we made as a family ,they are caring people and treated me as one. They made an organized and beautiful book for me with items page by page for adding or updating changes, I can stay in touch with them when ever I can. For the service they accommodated me for monthly pay verses one lump sum which I couldn't afford. Now I have a peace of mine.

I had the pleasure of working with Callan Olsen earlier this year. I reached out to a few attorneys in the area, and ultimately decided to go with her. She was prompt in her response to my request, and we set up the the initial phone call where she advised me of a few different strategies she recommended. She made sure our approach was cost-effective, and at the same time could guarantee the best outcome. I appreciate the upfront approach as other attorneys either wanted to charge me for the initial consultation, or just did not get back to me promptly. I signed the retainer with her right away and forego meeting with anyone else :)
We communicated mainly through email during the process, but Callan had always been prompt in her response. We were able to wrap up the case pretty quickly and seamlessly. Thank you again, Callan!

Carmen Rosas is an incredible professional attorney. I was blessed and fortunate to have found her to prepare our family Living Trust, not only is she an experienced, effective legal expert but a caring warm person, sensitive to her clients needs.
I felt as if I was talking to a friend. Carmen walked me through the process, and more than met all my expectations.
I also interacted with her office staff and was impressed by their courtesy and quick response.
Being bilingual and bicultural her services are valuable and important to our community. I am referring her to family and friends. May God continue blessing Carmen, her staff and family.

I can't thank Mr. Harry Dhillon and all the staff at Law Office of Harry Dhillon enough for their incredible help with my Form I-539 and F1 status reinstatement. Their expertise and support were a game-changer.
Mr. Dhillon made the entire process smooth and stress-free. They explained each step clearly, addressed all my concerns, and ensured I was well-informed throughout. There was complete transparency throughout the entire step. And all of this at a very affordable price. Could not have have asked for anyone better.

Hands down at the top of his profession!
I found Mr. Eisen after having trouble getting my other “super lawyer” to reply in a timely manner. I was racing against the clock, with a ex that was trying to sabotage my life. Jordan went straight to work, and was always accessible. He has the experience, acumen, and connections to get the best results. We were able to get it taken care of without ever having to step in the court room. My family now has peace of mind. He also worked on my expungment and he was able to get it all taken care of without me having to appear in court.
Thank you Jordan for everything.

From the start Parris was the best! She was very kind, clear with her communications, expectations, etc. and made me feel comfortable with the whole prenup process. She explained the process thoroughly in terms that I could understand. I'm a nurse so the legal jargon is like a foreign language to me. After consulting 3-5 different lawyers, I decided to go with Parris and it was the best decision I could have made. Not only is she amazing as described above but she was anywhere from 2-3 times cheaper than other prenup or family law lawyers. If you're looking for a prenup lawyer or anything that has to do with family law, look no further than Parris, I promise you, you won't regret it!

I’ve worked with dozens of attorneys at this point in my life and can very quickly identify the ones who know what they’re doing and the ones that need to go back to law school and retake the bar.
Paris is one of the best I’ve worked with among them! She very quickly knew off the top of her head laws and standards other lawyers would have to look up and bill a bunch of their time trying to figure out.
Would highly recommend to anyone looking for the best!

I was fortunate to work with Parris. In my divorce she was my 3rd attorney, so I had a chance to see how other attorneys could or could not handle my case, perform, and act upon my instructions in my best interests.
It was my first ever divorce and I did not know what to expect from the process or how the system worked.
My first attorney did not have a right to attend the court.
My second attorney seemed to be just interested in more money, with little to no help for me. He also was an expensive embarrassment in court.
So, when Parris agreed to take my case on, I was skeptical of the outcome. It ended up being best decision I could have made.
Parris is a true professional. She knows what to say and when not to say anything. She is fluid and well versed with legal procedure and the system. She dealt with the opposing council graciously, timely, and meticulously.
In court she was supportive to me and calm, with a professional and friendly attitude towards the opposing council and the judge.
The other side, despite a 3.5-year divorce process, was not well prepared. This cost them every point and detail that Parris was prepared for.
I wish there were more attorneys like Parris. She was a truly precious find for me and I am forever grateful!

Unfortunately had to go through a divorce and had to find a lawyer. When I met Ester she was very kind, listened to my story and gave me most of my options I could proceed with going forward. I wasn’t rushed or hurried in our initial meeting like I had been with other lawyers who wanted large sums just to talk with me for a short period of time and not very helpful with information. As we went through the process of the divorce she kept my emotions in check but did not dismiss them, which was nice knowing she understood where I was coming from, but guided me on the best path to pursue. But when it became apparent that we would have to be aggressive in our actions she definitely was up to it. Trust me when I say she will go toe to toe with any lawyer and will not be bullied around. Whatever you need or want to do she will tell you if it’s good or not then move forward with a plan. I can’t speak highly enough of her and how she helped me through one of the toughest periods of my life. I left feeling immensely satisfied with my agreement and custody and don’t think it could have gone any better

Dedecker
I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding legal support provided by Michael Dedecker during our adoption case. Facing a time-sensitive situation involving a novel law that most attorneys were hesitant to tackle, Michael stepped up to the challenge with unwavering dedication and professionalism.
From the outset, Michael demonstrated his commitment to our case by exhaustively researching options and took time to seek the expertise when needed. Despite encountering dead ends in finding a more experienced attorney, Michael never wavered in his determination to assist us. He took it upon himself to thoroughly understand the complexities of the law in question and diligently gathered all necessary materials within an incredibly tight timeframe.
When our case proceeded to trial, Michael's meticulous preparation and profound understanding of both the law and our circumstances were evident. He presented our case with confidence, clarity, and a depth of knowledge that instilled trust and assurance in us throughout the proceedings.
Michael's unwavering support, professionalism, and expertise were invaluable assets throughout our legal journey. Thanks to his guidance and advocacy, we achieved a successful outcome that exceeded our expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend Michael Dedecker to anyone seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable lawyer.

From the very beginning of our journey through the complex legal landscape of family law, Michael stood out as not just a lawyer, but as a beacon of hope for our family. Initially, we brought him on board for what was to be a de facto hearing. However, as our case evolved and became more intricate, Michael's role in our lives grew.
Michael possessed an uncanny ability to simplify the convoluted legal processes we were facing. He meticulously broke down each step, ensuring we understood the implications and strategies at play. His approach was not just about guiding us legally but also about educating us, empowering us to make informed decisions throughout our case.
Communication was one of Michael's strongest suits. He proactively kept us in the loop with every development, big or small. Whether it was through emails, phone calls, or in-person meetings, Michael made sure we were never left wondering what was happening with our case. His transparency built a foundation of trust that was invaluable during such a stressful time.
Perhaps what set Michael apart the most was his calm and reassuring presence. Family law cases, especially those leading to adoption, are fraught with emotional highs and lows. Michael's steady demeanor was a constant source of comfort. Knowing he was on our side made the journey less daunting. His confidence and compassion alleviated much of the anxiety and uncertainty that often accompany legal battles.
In the end, our case concluded more favorably than we could have ever imagined - we were able to adopt a child and officially welcome them into our family. This life-changing outcome was, without doubt, significantly influenced by Michael's unwavering dedication, profound expertise, and heartfelt commitment to our case.
Choosing Michael as our attorney was one of the best decisions we've ever made. Not only did he navigate us through the legalities with unparalleled professionalism, but he also provided moral support that transcended the typical attorney-client relationship. For anyone facing the complexities of family law, especially those considering adoption, Michael is an exceptional choice. His impact on our family will be cherished forever.

When we first talked with Michael, we immediately got the feeling that he was honest, truth worthy, transparent and knowledgeable. Michael proved to be all of that and more throughout the entire court process. We have had other layers, and I can’t understate how important it is to have a lawyer who can communicate with you with these qualities during a child custody case. I would 10/10 recommend Michael and continue to use him in the future for any needs.

Words can't even express the amount of gratitude I have for all of you. This court case has been so extremely stressful and I would have never gotten this far without you all! I woke up the day after court feeling such a relief and freedom, knowing I was finally heard in court and I feel like I'm finally capable of protecting my son the way I'm supposed to because of your help!
Katrina, thank you so much for the multiple phone calls and emails and calming down my obsessive, projective mind. You always made me feel like I wasn't crazy and my feelings were valid and I knew anytime I spoke with you I'd feel better and you were always so on top of everything.
Ms. James, thank you so much for all of the time and effort you spent doing what you do best. For sharing your confidence with me before court appearances when I was such a mess. For the amazing set of questions you asked me in court to let my whole story really be heard and for giving me a voice in court when I felt like I couldn't speak up for myself enough.
You guys are all so amazing and I'm so grateful to have had you guys on my side for this battle.

I didn’t think I could hire an attorney due to my current circumstances, but All American Law made it happen! Both Attorneys Mr. Jeffries and Ms. James have been absolutely professional, understanding, and passionate throughout the entire process with my case. I know I wouldn’t be as happy with my case and situation if I didn’t hire AAL to help me. They are beyond worth everything you invest and pay for them to represent you 100%.

After refinancing a property, The title company messed up in
recording of our quitclaim deeds. It seemed that something was wrong. We informed the tittle company. It took a while, going back and fort, the tillite company claimed that it was fixed.
By now we lost the trust in accuracy of the deeds. We needed an expert to review the documents.
Marc was very personable and knowledgeable. He reviewed our documents and told us that everything was ok.
He answered all of our questions and explained relevant details.
He was very professional and friendly. We felt very comfortable.
It seemed like we were meeting a caring family member.
We are sure he is our go to attorney when we need one.
He is highly, highly recommended.

Marc did such an amazing job on our case. He went above and beyond. His staff and him were always available for questions. Never left feeling anxious. When our case went to trial he was very prepared even when the opposing side was throwing curve balls. He was able to switch up his tactic during a quick lunch recess. Ultimately we won more than expected and were extremely satisfied with the results. Thank you Marc, you are appreciated! Would definitely recommend.

My parents and I used Zev Brooks to create our trusts years ago, and he made that process very simple and painless to put in place at the time.
My parents have both passed away over the last 2 years, and everything that had been prepared was super helpful to take care of now that it was needed. My dad depended on my mother for care, so when she passed away first, we needed to activate the POA docs that had been prepared. Zev was very supportive then in helping me get the various banks and doctors to abide by my parents' wishes to have me manage their affairs and oversee my father's ongoing needs. When he passed away a few months ago, he again helped me with transferring the deeds to their house into my name (per their wishes). All services provided were affordable and his patience and ongoing support is very appreciated!

He was extremely thorough, took the time to explain each step of the estate planning process to us in detail and was very efficient in meeting with us and turning around documents and filings. He answered all of our questions patiently and we were very impressed by his level of expertise and experience with all aspects of estate planning. He has given us a level of confidence with this area of our lives that we are so thankful for. We have already recommended his services to our close family/friends!

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.
