Wonderful folks, I was hit while I was stopped at a light...I will probably have issues for life. These guys made sure that I was treated fairly by the insurance company. I would, and have, recommended them to others that have been in an accident. Their involvement made all the difference in the world. I don't think the insurance company would have even covered my medical bills if it wasn't for having a lawyer. Thank you for all of your help in navigating the crazy process of insurance paperwork and procedure.

I was in a not-at-fault auto accident in Colorado Springs, where I was rear-ended, and my car was totaled. After speaking with Mr. Clawson, I retained him as my attorney. Mr. Clawson and his team were courteous and professional and provided exceptional representation. I received a settlement more significant than I could have imagined. I highly recommend the Clawson Team for any bodily injury accident claim! The free initial consultation was also helpful! Thank you.

I highly recommend Clawson & Clawson! Mr. Clawson and the whole team were so helpful, understanding, and knew exactly how to get things done as related to my automobile accident. My medical bills added up quickly, and I never thought they would all be covered, let alone get money for me. I was amazed at the outcome. I received the best medical treatment, and my expenses were covered. I received more than I ever hoped to cover future needs. Thank you, Mr. Clawson!

I hired Andrew Bryant as my lawyer in my child custody case that was a complete nightmare! Both Andrew and Emily worked tirelessly dealing with with custody and criminal aspects of my case. They also worked with me and stayed on through the entire multitude of the cases, of what ended up being a couple years. They were supportive and informative through everything! I couldn't have made made it through such an intricate and intimidating custody battle for my son, and criminal case paired with it, without their no-nonsense drive, expertise, and absolute devotion to their clients and cases! I would go to Andrew immediately in the future if I need a lawyer again, and will continue to recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer in the future!

Going through a divorce can be so hard, especially with all the uncertainty. With every call, hearing, and court appearance, Andy's knowledge and confidence proved successful time and time again. His No-BS approach has the opposing counsel scrambling. We won and got everything we asked for. Hiring a lawyer is daunting; but if you hire Andy, know you'll be well taken care of, from day 1!

Cory and his team are the best in Colorado Springs ! I have had a difficult divorce for the past 5 years. I hired Cory 3 years ago to help me with a contempt of court. I am so glad I did. He is articulate, personable, attentive, and professional. He is incredibly knowledgeable and all around good person. I am so thankful for him. He is an aggressive attorney that always looks out for your best interest. Very grateful that I was directed to Aviso Law.

Cory Tuck is a top-notch Family Attorney specializing in divorce and separation. His professionalism, work ethic, moral compass, and ability to seek out alternative, positive solutions to any obstacle is truly exceptional. Cory is on your side from day one. My case involved a 2 plus year mental marathon that wouldn't have been possible, and successful, without the guidance and support of Cory and his team. Cory's personal interest, steadfast loyalty, and discipline is above reproach. Divorce sucks, and having someone like Cory on your side during the process is invaluable - mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Cory and his team successfully and routinely handled all the big and small issues that surfaced from my case, often with little on no effort on my part. If you are going through troubling times, and divorce/separation is imminent, look no further than Cory Tuck. His resume includes thousand of cases, all varying in slightly different nuances, making his breath of knowledge focused, practical, and refined. You will not be disappointed in Cory Tuck.

I had two terrible divorce lawyers before finding Cory Tuck. After having a phone interview with him, I was convinced that he is the lawyer I was always hoping to have. I hired Cory! My life and my divorce situation improved instantly. Cory is very honest, hardworking and, most importantly, gets results! He is also very professional and confident: he stands up in front of the judge and states your arguments in a logical and assertive manner. He won both of my recent cases: Contempt of Court and Motion to Modify Spousal Maintenance. Cory focuses and knows what’s important to win your case. He takes charge of the situation and avoids getting intimidated by the other party. His office staff is friendly and communicates clearly, and quickly. Cory is also a trial lawyer - this is the type of lawyer you want presenting evidence to the judge and crossing your ex on the stand. I highly recommend Cory Tuck of Aviso Law!!!

The entire staff at Marrison Family Law is top notch! Having been a client for 2.5 years during my DV divorce and custody case, I can say with out a doubt that I made the best choice in law firm. You can tell that every client matters to the owner Pat Marrison and the firm. Mark Bosworth and his paralegal Shannon have been nothing short of outstanding through the entire process- and I did not have an easy divorce case. They handled every aspect of the case with professionalism, support and are both extremely knowledgeable and well versed in the process of family law cases. I was awarded full custody of my children and Mark and his team fought to make sure that was the outcome. I cannot recommend them enough! When you are going through a hard situation and need someone strong by your side, Marrison Family Law is the best choice!

A friend referred me to Dominic J. Perrino and told me that he was helping her navigate a contentious adversary who was negatively affecting her children and was causing great distress for her whole family. She told me that Mr. Perrino was compassionate, highly efficient, helped her with the documentation, and listened carefully to her needs.
I had spent several months contacting about 42 divorce lawyers in the Colorado Springs area, but I finally decided to go with Marrison Family Law because of my friend’s recommendation.
Mr. Perrino did not disappoint — far from it, and he came up with strategies for me that solved seemingly impossible problems, saved me tens of thousands of dollars, and was able to assist me in negotiating a divorce settlement that made the difference between walking away with enough to start my life over or ending up in a protracted fight and financially catastrophic outcome which is the likely fate I was facing.
My paralegal, Rene, has given me appropriate, focused attention, responded quickly and efficiently to every inquiry I’ve made, at the same time that she and my lawyer have worked very hard to keep my fees to a minimum.
As a result, I was able to get through this extremely painful and harrowing process in roughly 100 days with competent, caring support. I have full confidence that they are fully invested in my success and truly care about my well-being.
A professional staff member at Marrison Family Law answers the phone every single time I have called during business hours. They respond to my e-mail communications usually within the same day or no later than the next business day. They are consistently professional, courteous, and efficient.
I am eternally grateful to Dominic, Rene, the support staff, and Ms. Marrison for providing a level of personalized and professional service that I would never have been able to find at a big-name law firm. Also, unlike other practices I have researched, they do not have a policy of intentionally aggravating emotions in order to create conflict between the parties so that they can increase their charges. Quite the opposite, they were completely cooperative to my insistence that I maintain a stance of peace during the divorce process. They made sure that I didn’t incur any unnecessary charges so my total divorce costs were about a third of what I expected — and I am fantastically happy about that. I must also give credit where credit is due; this outcome heavily depended upon the cooperation of the other party to a peaceful process.
Everyone has a unique situation and experience with their divorce, so your experience might be different but I highly recommend Marrison Family Law because they are truly focused on my success, are cost-conscientious, and they were able to provide efficient, personalized, creative strategies for problem solving.
Finally, and most importantly, I believe that my friend’s referral to Mr. Perrino was Divinely directed. Thanks be to God for His provision, protection, and guidance!
Blessings,
An eternally grateful client

I interviewed 15+ local attorneys and finally came across Lyndsay. Immediately, I knew she was it. It’s so daunting to put the fate of your future in the hands of one person but Lyndsay made me feel heard and validated my concerns right away. She was the only attorney to discuss what to expect during the process, which naturally included extended periods of time with little to no contact. The team at Ressler law are attentive and I was always able to reach someone to answer my question or concern. Lyndsay KNOWS the law and how to get her clients positive results. She was poised, passionate and powerful in the court room! Lyndsay knew every key detail to my case and was able to present those details to the judge flawlessly. In addition to her unparalleled knowledge and experience in family law she doesn’t waste her time or yours. Lyndsay is very direct and to the point but has listened to me bawl my eyes out and offered me both empathy and support in those trying moments. This was the longest, most stressful and hardest fight of my life and I can’t imagine trusting anyone else with such a pivotal moment.

It’s hard to find a genuine person in the world of Divorce/Family Attorneys. With the money and stress associated with family law, it’s important to hire someone interested in serving the needs of their clients rather racking up billable hours. Lyndsay Ressler truly is that attorney.
After doing an initial consultation with Lyndsay in regards to a child support dispute, I felt very confident that Lyndsay was the right attorney for the job. The family court system is very subjective and tough to navigate. Lyndsay handled my case like the expert in the field that she is.
In the end, you should pick an attorney that can get you results. Lyndsay presented the merits of my case, worked out a suitable settlement, and ultimately got the results I needed. And she did so, without charging an exorbitant rate.
I was very please with my experience with Lyndsay and her team at Ressler Law and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a great attorney.

Mr. Travis and his paralegal Dauna were wonderful in representing me in my divorce and child custody case. They were both very knowledgeable about laws, and detail oriented in preparing my case. I was extremely impressed with their explanations of all of my questions. Mr. Travis spent time talking with me about a situation that could have potentially gone negative on me with my kids, and helped me form a positive plan to present in my hearing. The outcome for me and my children could not have gone better. Their firm was also cost cautious. I will definitely hire Travis Law if I ever need legal representation in the future.

Jeremy was knowledgeable, professional, and straightforward. He never sugar coated things with me and told me what he thought, straight up. He also made sure to look at the situation from all angles to give me the best chance at the outcomes I wanted. My biggest concern was being able to keep my commercial driver's license. Jeremy was able to help me maintain my innocence at every stage of the case and the DA specifically cited the motions we filed as the reason for making such a favorable offer. They went from a DUI (12 point offense) to careless driving (4 point offense) after the DA initially refused and we forced them to trial. I was able to keep my licenses and received unsupervised probation. He was cost-conscious, always gave me a detailed receipt of my costs upfront, and obtained a successful result without even having to travel down and be present at my hearing. I never had a hard time getting ahold of him and if for some reason he wasnt available at the time he was always quick to get back to me.

I was in a very tough situation. Going into sentencing and my lawyer had just resigned. After reading Ms. Shipley's reviews I decided to give her a call. What an amazing and compassionate lawyer! From the start she was straight forward and honest with me about what was going on while being compassionate and empathetic to my situation. When it came time for my sentencing she did an amazing job with her plea of probation instead of jail time. Though a little pricey for my limited budget it was worth every penny to have Ms. Shipley representing me. I just can't say enough excellent things about this Lawyer other than I wish I had gone with her from the start and maybe justice would have prevailed and my case would have been handled better.

I hired Catherine after my former counsel quit 29 days before my final orders hearing. It was a complete shock she could even take my case on such short notice. My ex was out to make my life hell and opposing counsel was the same. Catherine was able to get us a 30 day continuance. During that time she prepped and did amazing work for me. She really prepared for my case in that short time and caught up on over a year of drama in less then 2 months. The day of final orders we got an offer that was garbage, so we went to trial. Catherine was amazing and caught my ex in so many lies. She objected whwn needed and truly fought to keep the hearing about division of assests. In divorce cases its never east to know what the judge will award. In this case, the judge sided with Catherine. I was awarded spousal maintenance, which honestly we were not sure the judge was going to do. I didn't get everything I wanted but spousal maintenance was a huge win. I can't recommend Catherine and her team enough!

You won't get just a great attorney, you also get someone you can trust and know without a doubt, that is genuine & good at her job.

I was in desperate need of legal help. I was trying to get my children back from a horrible custody battle that took place the year before. I hired Ali Vandenberg from at that time Modern Family Law to help me win my children back. Right from the start Ali handled my concerns and gave me a sense confidence that I had not had in a long time. She didn't sugar coat anything. She told me what the pros and cons were to every option of approach, and explained what she felt would be the best route for my case, all while keeping me in the decision making seat. Once I had given the ok to advance, she took charge and told me what our game plan was and what I needed to do to to help win my children back. We won the case, and I have my children back. I cannot express enough, more than words, how grateful and pleased with the services that Ali Vandenberg gave me. If you want peace of mind during your legal battles I would suggest Ali Vandenberg and Modern Family Law.

I had the pleasure of working with Ms Virginia Henley Gatz, Esq., during the summer of 2015 as she represented me in post divorce child support negotiations. Divorce processes are difficult, and the subsequent negotiations around parenting and child support are laden with a lifetime of baggage while accompanied by an emotional roller coaster. Virginia was ever the consummate professional and advocate. She remained grounded when I wasn’t and provided honest, clear and concise council. One of the things I most appreciated was her frank assessment of the process, and sharing of her indignation when the opposing side became out of line.
My previous counsel did not serve me well and I wish I had hired Ms Henley Gatz at the start. The level of service, responsiveness, direction and advocacy provided by Virginia was stellar. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of strong representation.

Limited to 4000 characters? Stephanie knows this is going to be difficult.
Ms. Rikeman came into my case late as I was taking care of this myself. Was doing OK but when a couple of other items came up that I knew were going to require something beyond my capacity - I sought out legal counsel and was fortunate to find Stephanie and have her accept my case.
Stephanie is very knowledgable and will pursue your case tenaciously. She has integrity and is absolutely honest - something I thought you only used as a punchline when speaking about an attorney. I was pleasantly surprised to have my faith restored in the legal system and all of that can be attributed to Ms. Rikeman. If you are hiring Stephanie you should be much the same. She will work within the framework of the law. Not that she won't look down every avenue in winning your case but if you are looking for someone that is a little shady ... then there are plenty of those out there. Stephanie will win your case doing what is right and just.
Stephanie is diligent in her work. Don't be surprised to get an email from her at 9:00PM ... on a Saturday. She is a work-a-holic. Sometimes that isn't always a good thing, but considering she is working for you - then it is very good. It is a work ethic you don't often see anymore. It needed to be done so she gets it done. Sometimes that is from 9-5, sometimes that isn't enough. Unlike other attornies that will shrug that off and come in the office the next day or the next week or whenever - don't be surprised when you get that late email.
Very early on Ms. Rikeman made a suggestion for my case that I really questioned. I didn't see that there was much benefit to it and there was an additional cost associated with it as well and I was already short on funds with everything else going on. Even after speaking with the person that she suggested I was still hesitant that it would help my case and there was even the chance that it would hurt my case. In the end I put trust into Stephanie and went with her suggestion - outside of retaining her it was the best decision I made. In retrospect let me simply say this; you are hiring Ms. Rikeman for her knowledge and expertise, take it! She isn't making a suggestion to make someone else money and it damn sure isn't going into her pocketbook. She is suggesting you do something to make your case have a better chance at success. OF course she can't guarantee it always goes as well as mine, but if she didn't think it was a good idea with a higher probility of success then she isn't going to mention it to you.
Now then as far as money and all of that - again I find Ms. Rikeman to be very fair and honest. Her business practice itself is set up well and is absolutely fair in the manner that she has it. I would reccomend though that you hire Stephanie immediately - she is severly underpaying herself. At some point in time she will come to realize what I did quite awhile ago - that she is an awesome attorney and a lot better than the majority of the competition - yet the competition charges significantly more than she does. I know the explanation she gives and this isn't one of those, "Well for the money she is damn good". The fact of the matter is that she is better than damn good - getting her service for what she charges is the bonus.
Well 254 characters left - I easily have enough to go on for another 4000 characters - Stephanie will know this is true.If you are still looking for an attorney and you have gotten to this point then I have to ask, "What the hell are you waiting on?" Call her now and get this going, make the best decision you are going to make in a long time and be confident in the decision you made.
Thanks Stephanie - you are awesome!

I interviewed nine attorneys before finding Rikeman Law. Not only did she come highly recommended but she spent a lot of time with me at our consult and all along the way! I really felt like I was included in understanding the laws that affected our family's case and she was always more than thorough in making sure I understood them and my options!
I know divorces are rough on people but I can honestly say, I stopped losing sleep over ours just a few days after hiring Stephanie to handle mine! It was obvious very early on, that she had a ready understanding and quick recall of the facts in our case, was crazy organized and not much got past her! I felt safe with her on my team and certainly wouldn't want to be on the other side of the courtroom!
Having seen what's out there Stephanie is a truly rare entity in Attorney Land! I would recommend Rikeman Law to anyone!

I had an issue with my wedding videographer. We hired them to film our wedding back in August 2016 and our contract had stated a finished film would be completed by October 31, 2016, It was March 2017 and after countless emails to the person, I gave up and needed some professional help.
I spoke with Brian about my situation. He had me email the contract to him so he could review and told me there was a breech of contract. He offered to call the videographer for me. The next day, Brian sent me an email letting me know that he was able to get in touch with the guy and got him to commit to an ECD as to when the film would be sent to me.
Brian checked in on me a few days after the film was due to make sure I got it. I was not happy with the final product from our videographer and talked to Brian about possible steps I could take if I wanted to sue him. After some advice I got from Brian, I decided the damages were too little for me to sue and stress out about.
Brian was very helpful and supportive throughout the entire ordeal. He was easy to work with and provided great advice.

I could not be more happy with my choice to hire Kevin Major and his Paralegal, Christine. I hired them from out of state to represent myself and my child. I was always informed every step of the way. Kevin and Christine always made me feel like I was their only client. Kevin is an honest and fair attorney. There were many times that the other party was dishonest, cut corners, withheld information and documents and was outright rude- but Kevin and Christine both never wavered. Kevin remained honest, respectful and fair. Kevin took the time to educate me in all aspects of my case resulting in me feeling comfortable and confident in my decisions. I highly recommend Kevin And will absolutely hire him again in the future to represent myself and my family.

Kevin Major is a fantastic person and it translates into his work as a lawyer. When I needed the services of a lawyer, I searched and interviewed many potential candidates. I didn't have a lot of money and I didn't want to hire somebody who was an unfeeling, cutthroat lawyer. Although I didn't want to have to go through the particular situation I was in, I also wasn't interested in destroying the other party. Kevin's approach to my case was exactly the same as mine, and that's why I hired him. In a court system that doesn't always make much sense, filled with sharks and others who want to do you wrong, Kevin rises above the fray and gives a person reason to continue believing in the system. Against ridiculous odds, the outcome of my case was more favorable to me than I could have imagined -- I attribute that to some kind of good karma based on his common sense approach and desire to seek-out right from wrong without wanting to inflict undue harm on any parties. He worked with my financial situation to enable me the time I needed to get on my feet. I am very grateful to Kevin and Christine for the generous effort they provided me and the excellent results. I still consult Kevin as circumstances change and continue to validate that he is one of the "good guys." I wouldn't hesitate to consult with and then hire Kevin, he is an amazing person, and lawyer.

My wife and I hired Mr. Visser to help us out with our minor son's legal issue and we couldn't have had a better outcome. Mr. Visser walked us through the legal process up front to help us understand everything we would be going through. He ensured all the paperwork was accurate and filed in a timely manner. His presence in the courtroom and interaction with the judge was instrumental in his obtaining leniancy for our case. He has our strongest recommendation for legal advice and representation!

I don't want to get divorced ever again but if I ever do I know to go to Marika. She is very professional and does not make a million useless calls and emails in order to run up a big bill on me. She explained the process in a way I could understand and the case ended in a way that I thought was fair. She can be trusted and I will recommend her to my friends and family.

When my daughter needed a divorce lawyer, I asked my attorney friends who the best divorce lawyer is in Colorado Springs. The answer came back – Yolanda Fennick. She fully lived up to the reputation. She fought hard for my daughter and was very skilled through every complicated step. She was a superb negotiator. It was also evident that other attorneys and judges have high respect for her. I strongly recommend her.

I had been battling for my child support since 2005. Once I hired Ms. Fennick my child support payments started 6 months later. She had to fight with Child Support Enforcement and Social Security. She was so thorough she even found out that CSE made several mistakes with my Order. Not only did she fix the mistakes she updated my Order. If not for Ms. Fennick I would not be receiving my child support due to the mistakes she uncovered and fixed.Thank you.

With just a phone call from me, Paul, was willing to hear my situation and advise me as to my rights. I told him that I valued his advice so much I would eventually re-imburse him. He asked for a fraction of what I believe his advice to be worth. When needed I would hire him in an instant.

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.
