Michelle Sommers is the attorney you want representing you! She is extremely knowledgeable in custody, divorce, and family law. She got me exactly what I was asking for and was clear and concise throughout the entire process. I have since referred her to friends and family. This is the person you want on your side!

Michelle is an incredible lawyer. She's empathetic to your situation but makes sure you know all of the facts and you're ready for your court appearances. She's very knowledgeable about the current laws and also past case studies similar to yours. Thankfully I haven't had to use her lately but should I need her I will not hesitate to hire her again.

Brandon provided hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible... A 10 year case of complex issues that Brandon stepped into on year 8. Not only was he able to defend us, but he has guided myself to remain calm with an empathetic demeanor. My needs and rights as a good parent were put among my childs, which always was Brandon's first concern. I was treated with respect and as a person rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. If I was looking at things in the wrong way, Brandon was honest enough to tell me exactly that and that honesty wins my entire faith within this terrible Family Law system I have dreaded almost as much as those making such decisions probably do. I have quite a few steps in my battle but Brandon has somehow made this ordeal a battle for the best interest of child rather than allowing the typical back and forth BS.
If you're dishonest and unable to to put your child first, I'd highly not recommend Brandon.
If you're an honest parent willing to trust in order to be trusted that wants to whole heartedly fight if need be, compromise, stipulate or litigate if it means your family is in good hands.... Then I hereby recommend Brandon without any reservation.
Btw...if like myself.... Money was a huge factor in my decision making and first off.... Yes, of course family law is expensive and when I learned the hard way it truly does matter whether you go ProSe or not... I researched until my mind couldn't handle anymore. I retained Brandon after MANY consultations and my case's paperwork began within a week. 2 years later I unfortunately researched again knowing my case was a complex case that could no longer be "stipulated" and knew I needed someone that was going to litigate shall it lead there due to contempt and my child's emotional and psychological welfare in question. Brandon is entirely commited to believing in our children and their needs moreso than parents and I respect that so very much.
Again, my research all lead me back to my number 1attorney! I look so very forward to my case have an opinion and order via the court based upon my sons best interest and I have absolutely no doubt Brandon will be just as ready that day as he was years ago.
You can't go wrong with an attorney such as Brandon O'donnell! An added compliment is his compassion and incredible sense of style to boot haha!
Chances are whoever is reading this is desperately wanting the same peace of mind and facing the same fear as myself and for that, I'm sorry and know you aren't alone. Brandon truly does care and guides you as much as he listens. I wish you the best of luck!

Brandon is professional, highly educated and stays current on every level of his profession. Not only is he transparent and honest when providing counsel, he is patient and compassionate. When I thought my desired outcome was not in reach, he outlined multiple strategies for me to chose and explained all the calculated risks and outcomes. Always available in emergencies and the office staff is amazing. I highly recommend Brandon.

After years of not getting anywhere with another lawyer. I spoke with McKenzie, and he assured we would get past points of friction regarding my divorce. McKenzie called me and asked me what I was trying to do or what I needed to settle. He was very thorough and precise in his questions towards, and he seemed genuine and empathetic told him we had been separated for 3 years and I did not want anything except to be divorced. After much push back from the opposing counsel, McKenzie fought for me and ensured I didn’t give anything else up. When the MSA was received it was exactly what I needed and wanted to move forward with the divorce. In just a matter of time, I had my final MSA and my divorce was finalized. I spent money on an attorney prior and she never fought for me or asked what I needed. Every time I asked, she told me that we would talk after, and we never did. McKenzie on the other hand was extremely transparent and notified me right away about the negotiation process with opposing counsel. He showed me what a lawyer should do for a client, and I will definitely be recommending him to people in need of a lawyer.

I needed help with my custody situation and Mr. Clark was helpful and on point every step of the way.

McKenzie Clark is a fantastic lawyer. I have a high conflict ex and Mr. Clark took the time to explain everything that happened or going to happen in a timely manner. He even went above and beyond to check in to see that no problems had occurred throughout the whole process. He made sure to listen to my worries and make them known throughout our whole custody hearing! I am so appreciative of Mr. Clark and everything he did for my custody case!

This man gave me confidence in having a lawyer. He took my case pro bono and helped me get 50/50 custody of my son when I thoughtthe best I could hope for was visitation. He never lied to me or gave me false promises. He explained the risks and what I needed to do to have the best chance of giving my son equal time with both parents. He has also represented me in instances between my ex and I. He has even been there to give me legal advice on matters separate from what I hired him for. I would recommend him for anything

Paul is by far the most knowdegable and helpful attorney I have ever had. He was a true blessing in my most dire time of need . I will never forget him helping me .

He fought for me and I will never forget it . He has your back . He also has a heart when it comes to domestic abuse against mothers and children . I trust him completely . He is a good man and an excellent attorney . I highly recommend him to anyone in need especially victims of domestic abuse . He will help you .

I used Paul to assist me in seeking a PFA against my husband. My husband had been abusing me for years and I finally stepped up to fight him. My husband kept telling me I would lose and paid some high-paid attorney out of Harrisburg to take the case. Paul fought for me in Court, and I walked away with a full PFA against my husband. I can finally live my life how I want to. I recommend Paul to anyone seeking a protection order and wants a caring and understanding attorney.

Working with Mr. Wolf was one of the best decisions of my life. He's very experienced, insightful, and professional to work with. I am certain he was able to secure the best possible outcome for my case. From the beginning, we established a meaningful legal strategy and he was with me every step of the way to see me through this. It was very reassuring to know I had top-notch counsel representing me, and I felt he genuinely cared about getting me the best possible outcome. His pricing is very fair and reasonable, and there were no surprises. Overall, I am very pleased with all that he has done for me. I would recommend him to my friends and family, and I will most certainly contact him again if I need to. 5 stars.

I contacted Attorney Wolf with an urgent matter which I needed assistance within 48 hours. Nathan responded immediately and jumped right in to handle my needs. He was compassionate, confident and informative on the situation. As you know not all cases are a win, but in our case it was! When Nathan speaks on your behalf, he is articulate and intelligent. My family was so impressed and very happy with the resolution!! Thank you Attorney Wolf!!

I hired Michelle to help me negotiate a new custody order when my ex-husband wasn’t cooperating. Our initial custody order was initiated via zoom, during the pandemic and there was far too much gray area, which he took advantage of. Michelle is very knowledgeable, bold and she put me at ease each time we spoke or met. She was my voice when I was nervous to speak up and she fought for me and my children. Thank you so much!

I had the pleasure of working with Atty Shannon Costa on a very important case involving CYA that could have had a very big impact on my career. Atty Costa was very professional and made sure to get all the paperwork in on time even emailing me at the start of her vacation to make sure everything was complete. Her fees were very reasonable and she made sure to get the job done and see it through until the end as CYA ended up dropping everything. Thanks Shannon for everything!

Michael represented me in my divorce and I appreciated his availability and quick response time by e-mail. He was always prompt and personable and seemed to genuinely care about me and my case. He advised me how to protect myself financially and clearly advised me not to take actions that I didn't need. He turned out to be right about that. Highly recommend.

Founding ourselves in need of an attorney for an adult daughter with special needs seemed overwhelming at the start. Stephanie took all the time we needed to understand the directions we could proceed in. Once our course was charted she explained each step. She kept us informed and answered our many questions. The office staff was friendly and helpful as well.

I felt like attorney Kendall genuinely cared about the troubles I had going on that I was looking for help with. He was honest and fully understood and respected my priorities. Which was very important to me. I felt a lot better after my consultation with him and offered to pay for it, even though there was no charge and he declined payment. If I ever need representation in the future I would call attorney Kendall right away. I also would recommend him to anyone who needs representation.

I hired Attorney Kendall to represent me after a separation I received with the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections in 2015. After the initial consultation and retainer, Attorney Kendall represented me at my unemployment and civil service hearing. He stated after the hearing and in multiple emails that he was confident in a positive outcome. In March 2016 the civil service commission dismissed my appeal. Attorney Kendall then asked the civil service commission for reconsideration and appealed my determination to the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court. After continued conversations and emails where Attorney Kendall stated that he was confident in a positive outcome, the civil service commission denied my reconsideration and the Commonwealth Court upheld the civil service commission’s findings. I personally believe Attorney Kendall had my best interests in mind and communicated well with me. However, working with the Scaringi Law firm it was a huge waste of money after a VERY large financial investment for absolutely nothing!! I question whether honesty was of virtue or if I was continually assured of the positive outcome due to my financial investment.

I entered a case agreement in January 2013 and paid a retainer to have my case started. After numerous unreturned phone calls and nothing being done I reset and appointment December 2014 and was at that point just planning to have my retainer returned. Two years of waiting is unexceptable business practice to nearly any company. After setting a new appointment a complaint was filed against the defendant and a phone call was made to this lawyer offering a poor settlement. In the ensuing three months since numerous calls have been made and I finally stopping calling after being told "he is with a client" or out of the office. Voicemails that I left from over two weeks ago have yet to be returned to me. I feel this lawyer has no interest in doing this case despite taking my payments. I would highly recommend anyone needing a lawyer to not use McKnight law firm

If you are using ground for exactly what it was zoned for on the state, county, and local level and need to contact the attorney that handled the settlement on said property due to an issue with the local level and you are told that "You should be more neighborly." and "Maybe you should move." and then he bills you, while not dealing with, correcting, or representing you on the local level issue, this would be Mike Scherer. Unfortunately, this wasn't the first time we have had such issues with Mike, thankfully we have been able to find attorneys that actually understand the issues and are interested in helping and we have been found not at fault in all of these situations.

Attorney Scherer was recommended by another local law office that did not have the time to take on my divorce case. Though my case was in most ways simple and straightforward, it was complicated but the irrational and unpredictable behavior of my now ex-spouse, plus the frequently aggressive yet marginally competent actions of her counsel. Throughout the proceedings, Attorney Scherer gave me excellent legal advice and communicated effectively as to what was happening and what I should expect. He defeated several motions contrary to my interests that were filed by the opposing attorney.
I have been involved in numerous legal proceedings, but nothing can compare to the emotional stakes in a divorce. Attorney Scherer was highly sympathetic to my personal situation and the difficulties I was going through. Attorney Scherer has a very professional demeanor yet also treated me as a friend. He offered encouragement and support and helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel. To my delight, the light at the end of the tunnel was NOT an oncoming train, but newfound freedom.
In determining the final settlement, Attorney Scherer was clearly the superior negotiator, and his familiarity with the Divorce Master's Office in Carlisle also worked to my advantage. In the end, Attorney Scherer reduced my alimony obligation by several years and tens of thousands of dollars. I guesstimate that the amount of money he saved me was around ten times what his services cost me. I will always be indebted to Attorney Scherer.

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.
