Attorney Wiese returned my call within 30 minutes of leaving him a message. My wife and I filed our own bankruptcy because we could not afford an attorney. A couple weeks after filing my wife and I had questions about our case. Even though we could not afford to hire an attorney to handle our whole bankruptcy, David advised us anyway for free and saved my wife and I from making some potentially catastrophic mistakes. I fully recommend the services of this law firm. David is truly professional. Thanks Mr. Wiese.

I had the pleasure of working with Don Dennis, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the service he provided. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough.

What stood out most was his dedication and strategic approach. He also provided a well-thought-out game plan for moving forward, giving me confidence and clarity in my next steps. His timely communication and responsiveness made me feel valued as a client, and I truly appreciated his commitment to achieving the best possible outcome.

I run an educational consulting business and recently worked with Don Dennis and his team to craft a new agreement for clients. He took the time to really learn about my business and what I wanted to accomplish. Whenever I had questions, he was quick to respond over email and was easy to get on the phone to discuss. I'm very happy with the final product and how quickly he delivered it. I highly recommend Don and his team.

Scott has been very helpful, reassuring and informative. He was quick to answer when I first contacted him. He’s been there to answer any questions or concerns that I’ve had through this process. He’s explained everything very thoroughly and always prepared me for the next steps. He was able to get me the best outcome I could have hoped for. I’m glad I chose him to be my attorney and if I ever need an attorney again, I know who to call.

I referred a case to Scott and he did a fantastic job ending in the case being dismissed. As an attorney myself for over 40 years, I appreciate professional excellence when I see it. I recommend Scott to anyone who has a criminal case and needs a caring and highly competent attorney to represent them.

As an immigration lawyer I do not handle criminal cases, so when one of my clients got arrested in Orange County, California I needed to help my client to find the very best criminal defense attorney.
I reached out to the people I trust in the area and they recommended Attorney Thomas. Scott Thomas is a force to be reckoned with, shortly after my client hired him, the case was dismissed!!
In other words, the best possible results! I strongly recommend this lawyer to my fellow attorneys as well as anyone in Southern California looking for a lawyer that gets results.
I have been practicing law for about 10 years so it is difficult to impress me but the Law Office of Scott C. Thomas gets a 10/10 and I will definitely be recommending them to all my California clients!!

I had the pleasure of working with Michael Ayaz on a recent matter. He was representing us in connection with an appeal from a neighbor. I found him to be an excellent subject matter expert. He provided clear guidance. He was a thorough communicator. I've had different attorneys represent me for different business matters and so I think he would be a good representative for an experienced client. His thoroughness with communication also causes me to think he would be a good attorney for a less experienced client who might be dealing with a complex or serious legal matter for the first time. Overall, excellent experience and good value.

Mike Ayaz of Blake and Ayaz is the lawyer you want in your corner. He represented me in a case brought on by ABC. It was already in a default judgment against me because ABC never properly notified me that there was a case against my establishment. Mike was able to get the default judgment thrown out and allowed me to start anew. The outcome was more than expected. I like that he did not sugarcoat anything. He was honest about my chances and the possible outcome from the beginning. Oh, and he took my call from day one. The other law firm took my name and said they would call back the following week. Mike always returns your phone calls and makes you feel like you're never alone and that you have the best lawyer representing you. He is a bull dog and that's what you need when dealing with ABC. I will also add that he took the time to know my wife and I personally and that he listens. I will forever be grateful for that. Lastly I will say that I so admire his quality of work that I have hired him for more legal work. Thank you Mike! 🍻

I was referred to this law firm by a friend, and I am truly grateful for the recommendation. From the very first minute I spoke with Matthew Buttacavoli, I could tell he was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely sincere and compassionate. He took the time to listen, offered thoughtful advice, and made me feel at ease during a stressful situation. His honesty and integrity were evident in our conversation, and I felt completely confident in his guidance.
Matt is someone you can trust.... As a fellow Christian, I appreciated his values and the way he conducts himself with kindness and professionalism. I highly recommend Matthew and this firm to anyone in need of legal assistance.
Thank you, Matt 🙂🙏

If you can avoid family law litigation, that would be my first recommendation. However, if you must litigate, I strongly recommend Michael Morris and John Murillo. Both have represented me in court and are outstanding. I have a very combative ex (and unreasonable....she explicitly rejected
settlement offers that were better than both court judgements and expert recommendations) so I have needed their help repeatedly over the years, and I believe I have received the best representation possible. I don’t think there is ever such a thing as winning a custody case, but Mike helped me secure the desired end result.

I cannot recommend Matthew Buttacavoli enough! From the moment I reached out for legal assistance, he exhibited the utmost professionalism and expertise. His deep understanding of the law and attention to detail made a world of difference in my case. Matthew took the time to listen to concerns, patiently answered all my questions, and made sure I felt informed every step of the way. His strategic approach and dedication to achieving the best outcome were truly impressive. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, but he also genuinely cares about his clients. His support and guidance throughout the process eased my worries and gave me confidence in a very complex case. If you need a reliable and professional attorney, look no further than Matthew! He is, without a doubt, the best in the business!

From my first phone call to GFF&F, all the way to reaching the settlement of my case, every individual in this firm has been professional, patient, kind, knowledgeable, and informative. This was my first ever (and hopefully last) claim against another party’s insurance company, due to an accident. Dealing with a physical injury and incapacitation was very overwhelming, and it would have been impossible for me to deal with the other party’s insurance company on my own. GFF&F gently guided me through this, and had me take important steps to get the care and information that I needed in support of my case. GFF&F won my case and obtained a fair settlement on my behalf. I highly recommend this firm to family, friends, and anyone in need.

I came to work with Chantel and Justine at GFF&F after I was hit by a vehicle while walking my dog. My dog perished on scene and I was devastated afterwards. While I was healing from 4 broken bones I decided I could not deal with insurance companies and my grief at the same time. I am so glad I found GFF&F - Chantel and her team were so compassionate and understanding. They helped me understand what I needed to do and helped me resolve the case in record time. I recommend them very highly.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Anthony through a free consultation. He was very informative and was able to explain legal terms to me in a way that I was able to understand. I received documents about a securities investment from a real estate developer. I wasn't fully knowledgeable about the terms and agreements that the documents entailed. Anthony made me feel more educated and confident about the documents that I was going to sign. He was also friendly and made my friend and I feel comfortable during the consultation. I definitely recommend taking some time out of your day to speak with Anthony as I feel he can help you with whatever legal concerns you may have. I recommend Anthony to all that are interested in making an appointment with him!

Kimberly Leding is a wonderful attorney that listened to my concerns and was confident, positive and supportive. She made the experience one that I learned from. I have a new appreciation for a professional who puts in genuine effort as well as understands the unforeseen complications that can arise during a legal proceeding. Kimberly provided insightful information that helped me understand the legal process. She was always available and was consistently prepared when opposing counsel was not. She has acquired a lifetime client and respect and admiration for a job well done.

My husband and I hired Kimberly and her firm to assist us in getting a Contract canceled and return of funds.

Kim Leding helped our family with the Conservatorship of my Sister. My sister has special needs and is not able to navigate everyday life on her own. We met with Kim who came highly recommended and she did NOT disappoint. She was so patient and kind with all of us. She took the time to explain everything to us even when we asked her the same questions 10 times LOL. Every year we have to file additional paperwork with the courts and Kim is always on top of it. If I could give her a 10 Star rating I would. Thank you Kim for taking such good care of us!!

Mr. Razai is a proactive attorney that never lets anything slip through the cracks. He is forthcoming with all the possible outcomes so you can make informed decisions. He also explains the law in a way that is methodical, so things are more clearly understood. There is no middle-man to deal with as he deals directly with your case, so he is always available to respond to emails and phone calls.
Previously, I was dealing with an attorney that I had spent $10k to carryout a set aside that should have taken 3 mos, but took 7 mos. I needed to get my kids back from a my children's narcissistic father who had played the judge at a custody hearing and did not tell the court that I had an excused non-appearance, therefore granted him the custody schedule he had been seeking - a 20/80 timeshare! Mr. Razai took on my case and handled it as if he's done it a thousand times before.
I hired Mr. Razai, who had a clear hold on the Orange County court system and the Family Law judges which gave me a sense of comfort. It also helped that he was a parent himself. But more importantly, he wrote an article about the phenomenon of the narcissistic father battling divorce and acted accordingly during my case. Considering this, I was impressed that Mr. Razai was able to keep the custody and child support hearings out of court which saved me a lot of grief and exorbitant costs.
Mr. Razai was recommended to me by a friend and I would do the same for anyone who is looking to defend your case in a succinct, professional manner. He is a hero in our household because he was able to get my ex to rightfully change our timeshare back to 50/50 AND defend my case against child support modification.

My experience with Mr. Khan and his firm was very recent. Before speaking with him, I reached out to numerous attorneys and my previous attorney was of no help. I'd lost all hope and thought that my life was going to go in a horrible direction. And then I reached out to Foglight Law. Mr. Khan dealt with me in a straightforward, non-pretentious and down to earth way. Also, he handled my case with flying stars and thanks to his intervention and advocacy, I can say that I am in a far far far better economic position. He is brilliant, honest, ethical and carries a strong sense of justice. When it comes to attorneys, he has surpassed all my expectations. If you need an attorney, I highly recommend
T. Khan at Foglight Law. He is the absolute BEST!
Thank you so very much, Mr. Khan.

If I could leave a negative review, I absolutely would. My experience with Sharman and her team has been deeply disappointing. Despite being entrusted with my case for nearly a year, no meaningful progress was made, and the situation was made worse due to her lack of preparation and attention to detail.
Sharman clearly never took the time to study my case, which became evident through her repeated oversights and lack of understanding of critical details. Her inaction and carelessness have left me and my family in over $20,000 of debt. Worse, when I retained a new attorney, they discovered that critical documents—like the initial dissolution petition—were missing from the case file Sharman’s team provided.
The contrast between my new attorney and Sharman’s approach is stark. My new attorney is working diligently to fix the damage caused, and the difference is night and day. Sharman’s lack of care and effort has turned my case against me, which no client should have to endure.
I share this review not out of anger but to inform others of my experience. Single parents and vulnerable families deserve better than to be taken advantage of. Please do your research before retaining this attorney or firm.

Mr. Mor has been a very helpful and generous soul this weekend. I am currently on unemployment and my unscrupulous former employers decided to challenge my approved claim. Mr. Mor was a cold call and he informed me I did not need to hire him and he spent about 40 minutes counseling me why and explaining some tips. He then had me send over a 40 page document involving the case and gave me another complimentary consultation regarding his thoughts. WHAT LAWYER IN THE WORLD WOULD DO THIS ALL FOR FREE? We had no prior relationship I simply google'd him and he was this kind to me. He specializes in wrongful termination and EDD/unemployment matters. I HIGHLY recommend consulting with this gentleman should a matter arise for you. What a great and caring man. Full disclaimer I had never met him before the cold google call. Sincerely, Mike M.

He was a bumbling incompetent attorney and I got what I paid for - bargain basement. If you have zero issues he may fumble his way through your case. Anything complex and it’s over his head and he’s out lawyered. I got a call from his assistant on another post I made asking what they can do before responding. Not only is he incompetent- he’s keen to blame everyone but himself and his poor skills. Lots of other attorneys to pick from. Don’t waste your time and money with this guy who can’t add up basic numbers.

John is an outstanding personal injury attorney with a big heart! I had two car accidents with life-changing injuries involving negligent drivers and felt very lost at the time. I was overwhelmed with medical bills while struggling to get my life back on track. I reached out to John and he agreed to represent me in a heartbeat! He was strategic and attained an excellent outcome that exceeded my expectations.
What impressed me the most was John’s determination to achieve the best possible result! He fought hard for my rights and was responsive to my needs, providing not only legal advice but also emotional support during the difficult time. He had the magic touch and superpower to make an initially daunting experience remarkably approachable. From the first phone call I had with John, I felt HEARD! His professionalism and empathy made such a huge difference! He guided me through the entire process, easing my worries and giving clear explanations regarding the legal and insurance procedures.
John was also proactive, sharp, and realistic about the strategies for my cases as they developed. He gave me honest counsel that showed the highest standards of ethics and professional integrity. He genuinely cared about my cases and my well-being. I truly felt my best interests were taken into consideration. John was kind and friendly and had a positive attitude. He addressed all of my concerns and made sure that I felt comfortable with every decision and option. He also took his time to explain complex legal concepts and treated even my silliest questions with great patience. He kept constant communication, ensuring I was informed every step of the way.
I was fortunate to have an attorney like John who is skilled and reassuring during times of high stress, especially after the car accidents leaving me with serious long-term injuries when I was not at fault. He went above and beyond to advocate for me and helped me through some of the most challenging moments of my life. My only focus was on getting well and receiving the medical treatment I needed. He gave me peace of mind and took care of everything else. Now that John has successfully resolved my cases, I am able to move on with my life and focus on my physical recovery with ease!
I am forever grateful for John’s help and highly recommend him to anyone seeking effective, trustworthy, and compassionate representation. You will be in excellent hands. A heartfelt THANK YOU to John!

I had a small, but complex legal issue that resulted in a warrant being issued for time I had already served, and left the state for. Jonah was very communicative from the start, and was able to get me added to SF calendar quickly, so I flew in/out for court in the same day. He answered all questions I had, and was always very good about responding. To top it all off - his price was excellent.
I highly recommend Chew Law for anyone needing reliable legal services in The Bay!

I must say that Ali worked wonders for me in my bankruptcy case, I was scared and stressed before the outcome of my case. I had plenty of debt where as Ali Nader relieved my stresses, not only did he remove huge debt, he educated me on each step before committing to filing and through the accepted process. He was always available speaking directly with him, whether he was at court or in his office he always was there. I had a second and a third and it was amazingly removed freeing me of those predatory lenders. My life has been great and I am able tomaintain my life just from the education alone from Ali.
I recently contacted Ali Nader and he still remembered me without a charge, he educated me on some questions that I had. I LOVE Ali and his firm and I hope and pray that he will always be available (which I have no doubt). Lastly, very pleasant staff.
THANK YOU ALI YOU ARE THE BEST.

I recently had a consultation with Ali Nader, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the moment we started speaking, he was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and kind. He took the time to listen to all my concerns, provided clear and detailed answers, and helped me understand my options in a way that left me feeling confident and relieved.
What really stood out was his genuine willingness to help—he even offered to take care of a pending lawsuit against me from a credit card company, which was a huge weight off my shoulders. Navigating financial difficulties can be overwhelming, but Ali made the process feel manageable and far less stressful.
If you’re looking for a bankruptcy attorney who is not only highly skilled but also compassionate and supportive, I highly recommend reaching out to Ali Nader. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients.

Recommendation for Sam Lasser:
Sam Lasser was an excellent advocate for me when, as a pedestrian, I was hit by a large pick-up truck. He showed genuine concern for my injuries and helped me to record them as the months went by as I tried to heal. He was a good listener and communicator explaining the process of recovery, and he was an expert negotiator on my behalf. I was very satisfied with my outcome, and I highly recommend him.

I do not generally leave reviews, but I felt this law office deserved one. Kamand Kompanian was phenomenal. She is quite well-versed in family law, and is the most fantastic advocate. She truly made the biggest difference for my family. As someone who is deaf, she found a way to communicate with me, and she did it well. I felt that she was there for me throughout the process, and I found her presence during representation very reassuring. My case was successfully concluded on very favorable terms. I would not hesitate to hire her again. Please consider hiring Kamand, as she is the real deal.

I was looking for a lawyer to help me with my divorce in 2019. When I met Kammie, I found her professional and caring and in the initial session she helped me better understand what my true legal rights were. She helped us come to a fair settlement that both parties were happy with. I would recommend Kammie to any couple going through a divorce. She is 100% invested in helping her clients get through this process as quick and fair as possible. I am so very thankful to have found Kammie and had her help getting through this most difficult process in my life.

Sandhya was a pleasure to talk to. Even though she was not able to represent me in person and due to the short amount of time she had to work with me, she provided me with a lot of legal advice and guided me through my court case. She was very upfront with me but at the same time understanding of my situation. Thanks to Sandhya and her advice, the judge took the time to hear me out . I truly believe she was an angel sent from heaven. I am very grateful for all your help Sandhya. I truly appreciate you!

In 2021 I was referred to Sandhya by a friend who had worked with her who said she was fantastic. Boy, what an understatement! I don’t think words can express how grateful I am to have worked with Sandhya on a difficult emergency Child Custody case.
When I reached out to Sandhya initially, she returned my call quickly, told me the services she offered, and she begin advising me immediately. Over the next year, with several orders and court appearances Sandhya was always prompt, professional and thoroughly explained all of the possible outcomes in any given decision I was making. Just having her experience and guidance was monumental in keeping my sanity during an extremely stressful time.
I now have full sole and legal custody of my daughter and she’s beginning to thrive again. I recommend Sandhya to anyone I know when I get the chance and just can’t thank her enough.

Darrell Griffin is a great lawyer. He is one of the rarest you'll find. I had a very complicated case and I have spent thousands of dollars on criminal defense attorney's before I found Mr. Griffin. He took my case and got it dismissed within 1 week which other lawyers couldn't do in months. I am very thankful to him for what he did for me.

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.
