Volkan bey ve ekibine ne kadar teşekkür etsem az. Biraz sorunlu olan green kart sürecimde bana inanılmaz derece de yardımcı oldular.İşinde ki titizliği, detaycılığı bir harika. Ve tabi ki de istediğiniz zaman kendisiyle iletişime geçme konusunda mükemmel biri. Telefonlarına yetişemediğim zamanlarda , sesli mesaj bırakıyor ve email atıyor.(hatta haftasonları bile kendisiyle görüşmüşlüğüm oldu) Ne yazık ki bir çok avukat bu konuda çok profesyonel değil. Özellikle ödeme yapıldıktan sonra , ulaşmak imkansız oluyor. Kendisinin kibarlığı , beyefendiliği ve işinde ki profesyonelliğini anlatacak bir kelime bulamıyorum.Eğer işinde çok profesyonel, kolay iletişime geçebileceğiniz ve ayrıca çok saygılı, kibar bir avukat ve ekibiyle çalışmak isterseniz , bu kesinlikle Volkan ANIK ve ekibidir. Şiddetle tavsiye ederim, gözünüz asla arkada kalmayacak.

In June of 2022, I filed for divorce on a Pro Se basis simply because I could not afford an attorney. After a year of handling everything on my own I knew I couldn't go any further because my Ex-husband was manipulating, lying and coming against me to get Alimony. A friend of mine referred me to Ramsey Merhi. He was God sent literally! My divorce was tumultuous and very stressful. Ramsey stepped in and handled all documents and steps that lead to a full trial. Ramsey was very professional, kind and very supportive through the divorce process. He was very thorough in all the proceedings. A week ago today (July 30, 2024), I had my 4th and final court case for the judge to make a final decision about alimony! I've been fervently praying for the last 2 years about this case.. praying that the judge would rule in my favor that my husband NOT be granted alimony. Thanks to Ramsey's excellent representation and argument against my husband, I am now a FREE WOMAN !!! ITS OVER and ALIMONY WAS DENIED!!!.. I can't stop thanking God for answering my prayers and sending Ramsey my way! If you are looking for a good divorce attorney I highly recommend that you go with Ramsey S. Merhi! You won't be disappointed!

I had never met Mr. Kim before he became my attorney. I have dealt with my fair share of attorneys but my experience with him is by far the most appreciated yet. This man is helping my family and I keep our home when we were supposed to be homeless. He has such a genuine heart and cares about the well-being of his clients. I feel blessed to have him helping me during this tough time and working with me. May God richly bless this man!

I had the good fortune of having Ciro as my attorney. I had never met him before I appeared before the judge for the first time on a bitter divorce false arrest - on a alleged domestic violence charge. Ciro, arrived on time. Sat with me in the hallway of the court house. Listened, and my accuser kept trying to say that I had assaulted her. He called her bluff after consulting with her attorney and she backed down on the spot! I could have served real time for something I never did! This lawyer, is extremely great at what he does! A must hire, if your back's against the wall.

A week ago I was in New Jersey and I had the opportunity to meet Stephanie Cangialosi, a lawyer who works in Cella Associates. She took my case because seven months ago, my son's father left my country Peru, taking with him my baby, with false documents to the United States. After meeting her, I realized that there is divine justice and God put in my way to this professional in every sense of the word. I was able to check their identification and full dedication to my case, working without sparing the time, as if she was really going through my suffering. Now I thank heaven for having this angel on my way. I'm pretty sure she will recover and bring my baby back to my country, again.

Several years ago, I was being represented by a local firm in complex civil litigation. I felt that my case was essentially being ignored by each of the several attorneys to whom it had been assigned. As I was about to take my case to another firm, attorney Cangialosi was hired and assigned to handle it. As an attorney myself, I immediately noticed a huge difference. Suddenly we prevailed on two motions, and I was being contacted and updated by Ms. Cangialosi frequently. Ms. Cangialosi's thoughtfulness and thorough nature became readily apparent , and her positive results are obvious. Based entirely upon Ms. Cangialosi's dedication and hard work, it appears that my case will be resolved. As both a client and colleague, I am extremely pleased and impressed with attorney Cangialosi. For that reason, it is without reservation that I recommend I recommend Stephanie Cangialosi in the highest possible terms without reservation.

I would not recommend this lawyer.I think his judgement is influenced by the amount of money his client has, he would make comments that make you feel guilty you are fighting for your case and wander if he is on your side.I do not believe that a lawyerwho would question and jude you, is fit to represent a client. Also his advices were l;ess then average.

I retained Dan to write a demand letter to a neighbor who was encroaching on my property. The letter was very thorough and detailed, and it included some wording I'd requested, and the overall tone was sending a strong message. And I don't want to make promises for him, seeing as I don't know how busy he may get, but in my case he wrote and sent out the letter the day after I had retained him. The letter was successful, as the neighbor adhered to the demand down to the letter. Another thing worth mentioning is that Daniel is very responsive, always replying to my emails in quick fashion. I am very pleased with my dealings with him and his firm and will not hesitate to retain him and refer him to others in the future.

I've been using this Firm for the past 10 years. Dan is very knowledgeable in various areas of law. I've used him for everything from real estate to family law and even litigation when a customer refused to pay me for a job I did for them. He helped me with a couple of traffic tickets and my grandparents Will and subsequent probate application. I won't use anyone else. He even works with other attorneys so I never have to look anywhere else for exceptional legal help. He really is a one stop shop for all things legal. He's always very warm and inviting when I call or visit the office. His staff is amazing. I really can't say enough good things about this guy and they way he conducts business. I would never trust anyone else for my legal needs. Keep up the good work Dan!

Mr. Barbieri represented me about 12 years ago when I was still a juvenile. The case involved when I allegedly assaulted another student who spit on me and shouted out racial slurs to me. He wanted me to admit to the assault and hope for “sympathy from the prosecutors”; so what ended up happening was that I stayed in the juvenile detention center for two weeks and sentenced to house arrest for 90 days. He isn’t only useless, he makes it worse; he is worse than any public defender.

Mr. Barbieri was in my opinion horrible. He did nothing for my case. I gave him ammo and he didn't even use it. What should have been a slam dunk ended with me having to pay a hefty fine. There were so many holes in the "witnesses" story and Mr. Barbieri just let them continue lying without question. It seemed like he wanted me to do what he wanted me to do and didn't want to listen or defend me or anything I had to say. I would not recommend him to anyone that actually wants to win their case!

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.
