I had been handling my car insurance claim on my own for the past 4 months. After much negotiation with the insurance company of the party at fault, the claim was at an impasse. Enter The Law Offices of Tim O’Hare, specifically - Mr. Dustin Clay. I called their office last week, and the receptionist was very polite and had an attorney (Mr. Clay) return my call same day. He allowed me to share my situation, never rushing, interrupting, or pressuring me, and offered excellent advice and advised on how their firm might be able to help me. He offered me a one hour in person appointment the following week, at no cost, to review my claim thus far. After reviewing my claim in detail, he shared my options - even options that didn’t make his law firm a dime - but were in my best interest. Ultimately I decided to continue handling the claim on my own, not once did I feel pressure to hire them - Mr. Clay was professional the entire time. At this point I had talked to four law firms - NONE of them compared to the integrity of The Law Offices of Time O’Hare. None of them. If I were going to be represented by any law firm in Texas, it would be them. Thankfully, they have an attorney that handles wills/estates - so I will be working with them in the future on that. I highly recommend this law office - I just don’t think it gets any better than them.

I had Mr. McGee as an attorney for my divorce case out of Denver.
Mr. McGee was the best attorney I could have asked for with my particular case. He kept a level head throughout the process even while we were being jerked around by my former spouse's 2nd attorney. He gave me thorough advice and let me call the shots as far as the direction I wanted to take my case. With his calm demeanor and negotiation skills, I was able to get my divorce settled without having to go to trial. We just had the misfortune of having to deal with my former spouse's incompetent attorney that dragged the case out beyond a reasonable point.
I would highly recommend Bob to anyone who needs help with a divorce case. He keeps his cool and is not the type of attorney that is out for blood or gets extremely emotional. He is fair in his billing and provides a detailed bill of everything that he does upon your behalf.
As I said in my title, I could not have asked God for a better attorney than Bob.

Paid a retainer fee of 2500$ to them. Never heard a word for almost 7 months after the DA had dropped the case 30 days after my incident so 6 months ago. Called to cancel council and was told the 2500$ is non refundable. Bill never showed up to a court case and other than a 10 minute consultation we never spoke again. Don’t waste your money to be ripped off.

I would definitely recommend Fonda Fitzgerald, I started out, trying to do the legal work myself online, and then I went to an online only attorney and they left me worse than before . By now a year had passed and a whole lot of my finances thrown at this. Fonda Fitzgerald was recommended to me, and I’m so grateful for her help. She definitely set everything straight and finished everything that I needed to have done in a very reasonable amount of time.

Fonda has been my attorney for many years. Not only does she have my best interest at heart, her office is a "safe zone" where all are welcome! Her attention to details and her compassion are second to none.

I had a very difficult and complicated divorce situation with a spouse that had issues with addiction and time was of the essence. Fonda was very knowledgeable and kept me informed throughout the divorce process.
Her legal fees were very fair and she made it to where I could trust in the fact that she was on top of everything. Her instructions and just overall demeanor is what helped me to get through my divorce with as little stress as possible. Divorce is hard in itself and you add in a spouse who has issues like mine..... I just can't say enough about being able to TRUST and how much that helped !

I hired Mr. De La Garza to handle a case for me and he went above and beyond of what was asked of him. He was very professional and well prepared for the case he handled. The outcome was better that I had hoped for and without his persistent work ethic and attention to detail this could have gone in the wrong direction for me. I will recommend him to anyone who asks for a good attorney. Thank you Mr. De La Garza for all you did for me and my family.

This guy as part of the firm I contacted for an abandoned easement issue involving a utility company. The firm advertises expertise in this area, but then refer to this guy. Says in his email he has a plan. Our goal was to get the easement removed and then sue for damages. After reading these reviews I was trying to be objective. But after a 15 min consult, he nor the hiring firm had knowledge of what an abandoned easement was. Kept asking ME on the phone what it was....HELLO? Thats why we're seeking your counsel! ..then said literally at the 15 min mark your time is up get your credit card ready...most lawfirms give a free consult outlining your case etc. If you pay for a consult, which we were happy to do...there's an expectancy of a plan, cause of action , advise, etc. We received nothing in exchange. They had all the information we sent, evidence and bullet points of information yet have no clue. Very unprofessional. The other reviews are correct.

When I first contacted Veach he was fired up about my case. I paid him a large amount up front. A couple of months later I contact him for an update. He gives me this sob story about how him and his wife are struggling to make ends meet because he is a new attorney and trying to make it on his own. I send him several more thousands of dollars. He acted very graciously and laid out this grand plan of how my case was going. He claimed he had sent the defendant's attorney all these papers and had filed all these motions. He told me how things were going and what to expect. Then months later the defendant fires his attorney and gets a new one. All of the sudden Veach's attitude changes. He has supposedly talked to the defendant and his attorney and now it seemed they were running to show.
Veach lied to me and then when the well went dry he dropped my case because he said he had other bigger cases to worry about. I have never met him in person, but now believe he is a con-artist and should be brought up on ethics charges by the State Bar Association. I now have to find another attorney and start the whole process over. He never offered to return any of the money I paid him.

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.
