Working with Linda was incredible. I was at such a vulnerable place in my separation, and Linda made this so much easier. Obviously, no one wants to get divorced, and I was particularly shocked and emotional throughout the process. The most remarkable quality Linda had was just making me feel validated. She listened to me, was comforting to me, gave realistic solutions, and treated me with such kindness and empathy. She would take the time to ask about my daughter, my friends, my job, just because she cared and genuinely wanted the best for me. I’ll never forget how touched that made me feel, and is something I would never expect of an attorney. But she was more than a lawyer to me - instead a guiding force. I appreciate how she treated me like a person first - a friend, even, and how that made me feel more level headed to take on the divorce process with gusto. Additionally, Linda was professional and fantastic at her job. She kept cost considerations in mind the entire time which was extra nice. Linda was always professional, had knowledge of the legal system that opposing counsel didn’t even seem to have, and always spoke honestly with me. She found solutions, got creative with me, and had my back through many frustrating situations in the divorce process. I would absolutely recommend Linda to anyone getting divorced. For me, it helped that she wasn’t dissimilar to me - friendly, young, a motivator for other women, and at times even funny. :) She made the legal system accessible for me: someone who had never thought she would be in this situation. The world needs more Lindas! :)

Linda was wonderful to work with, very professional, and informative. Her work ethic proved to be a great help in my case. She was always fast to reply, and never left anything hanging. Even when she went on vacation, she kept me up-to-date with information. I definitely recommend her to anyone dealing with a family law case. I had a consultation meeting with her prior to hiring her, and I learned that she was going to be the right lawyer for me, but she was dedicated to the task and wouldn’t let me down.

Linda came highly recommended, and I was very happy with my decision to hire her. She was flexible and fair in terms of figuring out pricing and what level of service worked best for me at various stages of my case. She was always communicative, organized, calm, kind, and exceedingly knowledgeable. I can’t say enough wonderful things about how pleasant my experience has been with Linda and Alyssa, despite the frustrating situation that evolved with my ex-spouse. Many thanks to both of you for helping me navigate what turned out to be a more complicated and stressful process that I originally anticipated when I filed.

Kevin D Murphy was my lawyer for my divorce which was very very complicated and multifaceted more so than your average divorce. He is very professional and is able to break down complicated legal jargon into a single comprehensible format. Mr. Murphy always showed up on time and professionally dressed. He always kept me updated me as soon as he got new information in the divorce. A divorce is a very long and stressful ordeal. Mr. Murphy took the stress out of the entire situation and had my back at every point in the divorce. I was able to call and or email him 24-7 365 with any questions comments or concerns always promptly replied to the phone call or email with all the information I needed and then some. Mr. Murphy was an advocate for me and my children and facilitated the best possible outcome of the divorce. Mr. Murphy sent me a well documented monthly invoice with all of the fees associated which always checked out. He was worth every penny, and also is a pleasure to be around he's very charismatic and very experienced. To list a few of the items that Mr Murphy did are as follows. 1. He sat down with me and took the time to establish my sworn financial statement that a corporate accountant could go through with a fine-tooth comb. 2. He set up a private investigator. 3. He helped triangulate between child support payments and the payment registry as well as triangulate with the child support enforcement office technician. 4. He recommended and gave excellent tax advice for the fiscal year of which we got divorced which was very complicated. 5. He triangulated with CPS caseworker and local sheriff's involved. 6. Here ran background checks on Associated individuals involved. 7. He was able to pull from all of the information I had given him and extract what he needed to write very professional legal documents. These are just some of the skills that mr. Murph has. His attention to detail is amazing he caught things that I totally missed. If you are going through a divorce I would personally and only recommend Kevin D Murphy he is a multi-tasker extraordinaire and truly a subject matter expert at what he does. He has improved me and my children's quality of life significantly and alleviated the stress out of the whole entire situation.

I had the opportunity of working with Attorney Kevin Murphy for my parental allocation (custody) issues with my son's father. Mind you...I spoke with more then 8 other firms who all insisted that my specific case required a $10,000 retainer and would take at least a year in court because we live in 2 separate states. As a single mother, this was so discouraging. I worked with Kevin, and he was quick, responsive, and didn't waste any of my time or his time with filing, paperwork, advice, court dates, etc. His billing and invoicing was clear and concise and there were never any surprises. Very laid back, but professional. Never came across as a "pushy salesman" lawyer, and helped with everything I asked.

Kevin was an awesome attorney. He took my case when I was at the end of my rope, I couldn't figure out where to turn, what to do, and had a court date pending. Mr. Murphy exceeded every expectation I had of him, and of any lawyer. He always had time to talk to me, he was quick with response, and even after it was all over he went above and beyond with the final issues I had. I can't recommend him enough, I feel like he was able to handle all attorneys involved in the case and didn't take any of their posturing. After months of being told what to do, how to do it, when I can see my kids and when I can't all at the whim of my ex and her lawyer, someone stood up and fought for me, and kept fighting for me. Kevin is definitely the lawyer I want in my corner for any future issues that come up.

I had the pleasure of working with Sahar during a very challenging time. My ex-wife was demanding everything and completely unwilling to budge, while I just wanted to end things and move on. Sahar was incredibly patient and understanding, guiding me through the process while ensuring I was protected. She genuinely cared about my situation and was determined to make sure I received a fair settlement, even when it seemed like I wasn’t getting enough. Her strategic ideas were sharp, and she was honest every step of the way, always making sure I was comfortable with the decisions being made. Sahar made herself available whenever I needed her and was flexible to work around my schedule. If you're looking for a lawyer who truly cares and puts your interests first, I can't recommend Sahar enough.

Living in a small mountain town, I required a strong, knowledgeable female expert in divorce law. This is Sahar. From the start, Sahar had a clear understanding of how to advocate and protect me and my children from a difficult situation connected to alcohol addiction. She lawfully navigated these hard issues with empathy, efficiency, professionalism, and expertise. Additionally, Sahar provided me with outstanding consultation around child support and the options the state provides to ensure that my children receive the financial support the court ordered. Overall, Sahar is exceptional in both representation and consultation.

After an painstakingly difficult custody battle with my ex, Rene’ was able to get me 50/50 parenting time of my son. Without the guidance and patience that Rene’ exemplified I wouldn’t have been able to mentally handle this hardship. She stuck by my side and helped me deal with the emotional stress that comes along with a case as mine. The 2nd time in court my ex brought on false allegations and the judge was able to see right through it due to the amount of evidence and preparation that Rene’ provided. I can’t thank her enough for getting my son back to me so I can have a better and more prosperous relationship with him in the future. Definitely would recommend and use in future cases.

Rene represented me for the last six months through the process of an extremely difficult and conflict oriented child custody case. I honestly couldn't recommend her more. She is equally compassionate and effective, which is exactly what was needed during this challenging process. I had the opportunity to see how a number of other family law attorney's practiced, and thanked God that I had retained Rene and not them. Rene worked tirelessly, and her billing was extremely fair and affordable. It's because of her that my daughter is safe and happy. If you have any type of pending divorce or other family law matter, you need to call Rene.

I was referred to Lynne after another lawyer mismanaged the beginning process of my divorce. When I met Lynne I was immediately drawn to her straightforward and professional demeanor. Lynne is intelligent, compassionate and legitimately cares about her clients. She takes pride in her work, which is apparent from her attention to detail. She was never dismissive of my situation and always made me feel comfortable. Lynne not only had my best interest in mind, but she was also looking out for my future. I trusted her explicitly during this difficult situation. Lynne and her team always followed through to the last detail, communicated and explained everything that was going on in my case. Her and her staff were always quick to respond to all of my requests/concerns. When you are going through an incredibly emotional and stressful situation, it makes things more manageable when you find an attorney who is extremely knowledgeable, dedicated and amazingly supportive. She is someone I would call a friend. I would highly recommend Lynne without hesitation to anyone, especially a close friend or family member.

I had a consultation with John Haas based on his excellent reviews and area of expertise. I hired John for my case because of his second-to-none knowledge of the law. What I quickly came to find out was that it was the absolute right choice because of the extreme care he took not only with the facts of my case and the strategy he utilized during my court hearings, but because of the extreme care he took with me personally. When involved in a family/civil court matter, one of the most difficult and stressful times in a person's life, choosing the right attorney is critical. John was absolutely the right choice! With his expertise and unsurpassed guidance, he led me unwaveringly to a successful outcome. Obviously the outcome is the most important aspect of a court action, but feeling personally supported, receiving frequent communication, and being listened to and involved throughout the process was incredibly empowering. Choosing to hire John Haas for my case is easily one of the best decisions I've ever made.

After months of trying to save my marriage I finally concluded there was nothing really left to save. Next step was meeting John Haas who came recommended through a friend. We can all agree that divorce is a pretty terrifying thing. And the day day I walked into his office I was exactly that- terrified. For the next hour John calmly walked me through the process, the rules, and procedures of divorce in Colorado. I walked out of there feeling an indescribable sense of relief and real confidence. I ended up settling the divorce amicably with John's total support and expertise. If you find yourself with no other alternative than divorce , I strongly suggest hiring John to represent you. He's very empathetic, get's it, and knows exactly what he's doing. And he'll take the time to make certain you understand what he's doing and why. His people skills are tops and is reasonably priced. I was happy with my settlement and you will be too.

Where to begin... I was a shattered mess before I hired John he was referred to me by a friend who had hired John to defend her when she needed help with her divorce. The day I did a consult with John I was able to see the light in a very dark and sad tunnel. I was incapable of defending myself against my husband at the time, where I was weak John stood with the strength I didn’t have. He has been a truly amazing and unique attorney. He puts his heart and soul into a career for which the universe created him for. Never had I ever felt neglected or marginalized through the nightmare I was living. He was brought into this world to have strength for those who have none. I could never thank him for giving me an amazing gift, he gave me strength to assert myself in the most difficult and fearful aspects of my life. He, in my eyes went way above and beyond his call of duty. I can never find words to describe in words what was given to me for the first time in 43 years. John is uniquely created to do what he has done for me. His amazing and spectacular team, had never once made me feel like I couldn’t trust them. An awesome unique attorney and his dream team have changed my entire world, my outlook on my future, and changed the way I view myself. That’s a gift I have never been given. Thank the universe for bringing John and his beautiful dream team. They now and forever fill a void, and will forever be protected in this, my newly reconstructed heart I Possess. My gratitude is forever, and my love and my fondness will be there till the stars burn out.

Ted and Robin were VERY well organized as well as prompt with responding to my concerns! Honesty. Integrity. Transparency! Three very important qualities that make a very difficult situation bearable. From the moment I retained Ted, I felt very comfortable knowing he was NOT in this for the money, but to help me fight a battle that meant the world to me! I had attempted to fight this battle alone up until about 40 days before the trial date. Feeling overpowered, I called Ted's office and met with him a day later. After consulting with Ted, I walked out of his office with a huge amount of weight lifted off my shoulders. With not very much time to prepare, Ted and Robin immediately started working on my case. Ted never once steered me in the wrong direction and always pointed out the logistics of the case. If I didn't like what the opposing party had to say, Robin would listen very carefully to my thoughts and concerns and she and Ted would have a "plan of action" within minutes. Although we settled outside of court 5 minutes before the trial started, Ted had his well documented notes and was ready to stand by me in court and fight for what my daughter and I deserved! Ted went back to his office and worked on organizing all of the documentation of what had been settled on in court. We went back and forth for several days until everyone was happy with the agreement. Robin very patiently listened to my concerns and made several "tweaks" until both parties were completely happy. Thank you very much!! I appreciate you both!

Ted Finn had a no-bull approach that I found efficient and refreshing. At the same time, he consistently showed perceptive intuition as to the nuances of the case and the opposing party's tactics. He was about the business of my case as opposed to running up my bill. He was inclined to take the high road, very upfront regarding cost, and he communicated throughout regarding cost analysis of pursuing various approaches or battles. When it did come time to stand ground as opposed to negotiate, he was well prepared and persuasive. In my opinion Family Law is a good fit for Ted and I'd certainly prefer to have him on my team than face him as my opposition counsel.

She laid out the strategy and resources needed to win my case beautifully. My Ex and her attorney didn’t have a chance. She outsmarted them at every angle that they took. Paula’s communication and follow up in everything was flawless. She is worth every penny.

I am so happy I hired Paula to represent me. She made sure I was informed through out the entire process - which took months to complete. She provided me with the alternatives so I could make the best choice. She was conscious and efficient with time and money (knowing how expensive this can be). She made sure I was well prepared and she was too and all of that was apparent when we received the decision from the court.

Going through a divorce is not an easy process. Especially as an attorney myself, I didn't know how to be a "client". Paula eased me through the process with great knowledge and comfort. She gave me just want I asked for and needed. She was responsive, efficient, and knew the nuances of the law and process expertly. I hope to never need her again, but will happily refer her. She is a talented young lawyer.

I hired Dick to take over a very complicated case nearly 20 years ago. My hearing date was actually on September 11, 2001 And was rescheduled when the court closed after the planes hit the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. I had a very complex & emotional case. I was young & naive & married a man I thought I knew but didn’t. He was a fantastic liar & could charm anyone by telling them exactly what they wanted to hear. He was able to convince his lawyer & mine that I was the one lying when it was him. I had been severely injured in a car accident not long after I met him. I got a substantial settlement for my injuries & the future medical expenses, the life ahead of me of severe chronic pain and inability to earn the income I would have without the pain. The man I married changed into someone else the moment we returned from our honeymoon. I was foolish & naive & put all of that money in a joint account (legally making it equally his even though the accident & settlement both occurred before we got married.). My ex spent it all. I trusted and believed he worked very long hours and traveled as needed with his job. I was focused on a series of major medical procedures like reconstruction of my jaw and face (5 surgeries and still need a titanium total joint replacement for my jaw). Having to leave my job & find another one before my short term disability ran out while getting my surgeries. I decided to finish my MBA in one semester before going back to work so was very distracted with the pain, procedures, moving and getting my MBA. When that money was gone he turned to credit cards I was unaware of & ran up $50k in debt that I was legally half responsible for. ( Full of charges to places I had never been & things from Victoria’s Secret that I never saw.) I was not around much & when I was I was either doing homework or resting from the constant chronic pain & series of surgeries and recovery. He went from the perfect charming man for me telling me everything I wanted to hear & believe about him to a completely different man the day we got home from our honeymoon. He became increasingly violent and dangerous until the day I left. The day I left he started loading a 9mm gun while screaming at me that he would NEVER let me leave! He demanded instructions to get the money from my life insurance policy from my employer. He had a perfect plan to put my body in a wood chipper after I was dead to destroy my body & all evidence. We were needing to landscape at the new house & it was perfect to just mix my body in with the mulch. He would tell everyone I abandoned him & left everything with him. I managed to get the loaded gun from him & ran out the door with my purse, keys, gun, the clothes on my back and — MY LIFE! I hired a “low cost” attorney who drug things out ran up the retainer & told me I had to return the gun to my ex for HIS 2nd amendment rights. He also got me a restraining order with my location on it! I had to move again & hire a new attorney! I had already spent $10,000 to get nowhere. I found Dick & he fixed everything! In court Dick & his associate had a full day of questioning my ex until he lost track of his lies. He couldn’t fight with a real man when he was used to picking on women. My ex even insulted the judge! Dick came into a mess of a case with deadlines that had passed & I was an emotional, terrified wreck. Dick was able to make me feel safe & return me to as close to financially & emotionally whole again as possible. He was THE BEST Lawyer in 2001, & I can’t begin to imagine how good he is now. He saved my life literally & financially so I could get a new start. He is worth EVERY penny! Dick is extremely knowledgeable of the laws, he is great with negotiating in virtually impossible situations. He is tough as nails, but also sensitive to what his client is going through & gets results.

My divorce took nearly two years. We were weeks away from having to endure the expense and emotional toll of a two day trial. Dick was referred by my ex-husband's attorney for the final mediation attempt. I am grateful that we agreed to use him. His experience and professional, yet direct communication and explaination resulted in the impossible, a settlement. He not only saved our marital estate thousands of dollars, he made the road to rebuilding our sanity, trust and communication for the sake of our children happen that much sooner. I will be forever grateful for his professionalism, experience and ability to communicate with both sides in an honest and direct manner.

I recently went through a divorce and Mr. Rotole was recommended to me but a co-worker. Mr. Rotole was extremely knowledgeable and was not afraid to take on my strange situation as I was a resident of Colorado and my ex husband lived out of state (I am active duty military and my ex-husband was former military). Mr. Rotole and his staff were constantly keeping me informed on communications they had with my now ex-husband. Even though my ex-husband choose not to participate in the divorce Mr. Rotole and his staff made sure he was always aware of what was going on and important court dates. My ex-husband made Mr. Rotole and his staffs job difficult at times, he would claim to not have gotten documents that were sent 3 different ways, he would call yelling at the staff. Mr. Rotole and his staff were never anything but professional and accommodating. I am extremely pleased with my experience with Mr. Rotole and his staff. Divorce is never an easy or fun experience but Mr. Rotole made it as painless as possible. I could not have been any more pleased with the out come. Thank you

We have worked with Miranda Bouchey and can highly highly recommend her. She genuinely cares about our family and works incredibly hard on our case. She can understand the pain and tension we feel as parents as we deal with an ex and can also understand how our situation impacts our kids. She has made herself available to us; previous lawyers we have worked with were very hard to get a hold of, leaving us feeling abandoned at key times. Miranda is the total opposite. She prioritizes us when we need it, responds quickly to emails and makes herself available for phone consultations. We have felt so supported by her. She is also incredibly smart and competent. She knows the law and how to apply it to our situation. She is on top of every deadline and produces high quality work. She has calmly and expertly walked us through a situation we never wanted to be in. When you are walking down these terrible, messy and murky paths, you want Miranda by your side.

Miranda was amazing! I knew I had an uphill battle going into our case since I wasn’t the primary care taker and my ex wife wanted to relocate with our son. I knew that I also had a lot going for me since I have always been there and have provided for my son since his birth as well. Miranda took my case on short notice and short preparation, but got up to speed quicker than I anticipated. She gave me the best possible legal advice (the to-do’s and not to-do’s) the entire 5-6 months she worked with me. When it came down to actually going to court, she guided and prepared me on exactly what was going to happen before even getting into the courtroom, so all I had to do was remember and execute what she told me to do. She was already in the courthouse before I arrive at the courthouse (which I’m always early) and I really appreciated that. She was attentive in the courtroom and honed in on what was important to the judge’s decision making. She won my case for me because she’s an amazing attorney and knew what to say and what not to say. I will be forever grateful for Miranda and her talent as an attorney! I hope I never have to go through this again, but she will be the first call I make if I ever need to. Thank you Miranda! You’re truly a blessing!

After being injured on the job, breaking my toe, the retail company that I worked for refused to get involved and help me get my workers compensation medical claims paid. The bills continued to pile up and were adversely affecting my credit. After numerous calls to the H.R. dept. and visits in person to the company, I was unable to get them to resolve the unpaid claims. This situation went on for over a year. I finally decided it was time to seek an attorney to help me with this. After hiring Mr. Secrist, the matter was resolved within just a few weeks. He contacted my former employer, medical providers and workers compensation to ensure that ALL of the bills were paid and there was not any outstanding medical bills on my accounts. Not only did Mr. Secrist resolve my case in a professional and timely manner but he also got me an financial settlement for my bodily injury! I was extremely happy and grateful to Mr. Secrist and would highly recommend him to other clients.

In January of 2010, I was involved in a sporting accident that put me in the hospital for 20 days, then in rehab for another 10 days. Upon release, I applied and received Social Security Disability. However, my medical bills were enormous. Cameron examined my situation and determined that the sports facility was negligent in the design of its equipment, so he launched a civil suit to recover compensation for my injuries. He was successful in negotiating a financial settlement that covered all my medical expenses. He was very detail-oriented about receiving all my medical records and documenting my injuries, so that the sports facility's insurance company was clearly faced with my ongoing disability and their client's responsibility. I am grateful for the generous help he was to our family, and the compassionate and considerate manner in which he communicated with me. Today, six years later, I am almost fully recovered but I will never forget the assistance Cameron was in my time of need.

Working with Law Offices of Said Sharbini, has been pleasant from start to finish. I live in Florida had a couple of warrants that needed to be taken care of and Contacted a few lawyers there; a couple were a bit cheaper. Called Mr. Sharbini and we had a nice conversation. I was concerned he was a little bit more expensive than the others, but like he said, "You pay for what you get". I took the chance; I'm glad I did he got Amanda Borsman on my case she was able to get one settled the next day and took about two months to get the second one handled. During that time, her or the office, never left me waiting responded quickly and explained the law where I understood she was patient and listened to my concerns. I loved the results from both cases; even got a portion of my trust fund back. Very honest firm and Highly Recommend them.

Honestly, hiring Said was a better experience than I even hoped for. Not only did he keep my desired solution in mind when he took on my case, but he kept me informed of the process, timeline, and gave me post resolution factors to consider. Without hiring Said, I’m beyond certain that I would have been treated unfairly throughout my complaint process and I would not have been made whole.

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.

When getting a divorce the outcome is probably 90% is decided before you hire a lawyer. I contacted 2 other lawyers prior to finding Mrs. Howell and the only conversation was only price and retainer. My first meeting with Mrs. Howell was questions about the issues some history and a guesstimate of the outcome and then the price and retainer. Mrs. Howell makes herself highly visible throughout the process. Her pace is extremely fast to help keeping the billable hours as low as possible. She stepped up to do process my wife layer would normally do to reduce the cost the overall lawyer cost. Another major item is her negotiating skills to help change the outcome. Nobody wants this but what it could have been verses the final decision I am pleased with. She is Awesome at what she does.

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.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
