He helped me with my divorce that I knew no one could have possibly done for me like he did. Very compassionate, a real human being act of kindness and treats individuals cases to a profession. And there is no discrimination of whom you might be. Call them today and you will be in good hands tomorrow. I recommend him strongly. God bless his firm and the teams.

Wow! Pearman Law Firm was attentive, caring, professional, polite, precise and just what I needed. I feel very blessed and fortunate to have spent time with Shaun and his dynamic staff. They were thorough, diligent and informative. They covered all the areas of concern and left me feeling secure, relaxed and confident. I am very grateful for Pearman Lawfirm!

I don't believe anyone who's truly dealt with Mr. Pearman would rate him anything but excellent. One day before my court appearance, I realized I was in over my head and needed help... I contacted his office and he called me back within an hour, talked me down from my hysteria and we spoke for about an hour. Then he called me back after business hours. The next morning Mr. Pearman was standing beside me in court. I don't know what he had to re-arrange to make this happen, but it couldn't have been easy. Then, before our second appearance Mr. Pearman called to tell me he had gotten my case completely dismissed! I thought I was going to lose custody of my daughter over truancy (health related) but I followed his advice, got the home-school paperwork together and he took care of the rest. Well worth every penny!!

Randy Golden was amazing in guiding me through a tough cross border divorce case. Not only was he supportive, he gave me choices and kept me informed and involved over a protracted 143 week case. When it came time for trial he was perfectly prepared, and presented with astounding elegance. I went in expecting the worst, and came out with so much more that I ever anticipated! I highly recommend Randy Golden!

I wouldn't recommend. I was looking for an advocate in my legal separation case that was filed against me. He filed necessary paperwork, but he reacted negatively when I asked him specific questions, as if I was questioning his ability rather then me just trying to understand the whole process. After the retainer was spent and still had more work to do on a very simple case, I decided to represent myself.

This attorney is great at filing the initial paperwork for a Chapter 13 BK and collecting her payment. After she is paid in full, her services cost $300 per hour, she does not take the time to explain legal requests, she does not have a sense of urgency, and she is a bit rude. I recently had to file a request to incur new debt to purchase a home. Because she is our attorney, the request had to be submitted by her office. The request took over two months to process. She made a mistake on the income portion of the application and understated what is actually earned on the submitted paperwork (with paystubs that were submitted to her on more than one occasion). I actually had to send multiple emails to complete the application because she was unable to locate information. Due to her costly negligence, our application is denied and our monthly payment is going up. Meanwhile, we are still paying rent when we could be paying a mortgage. Bankruptcy is a competitive market... You can get better than what this office will do for you while being treated with respect and dignity for the $300/hour you will be paying. I would give less than one star but that isn't an option...

David is highly knowledgeable and extremely effective. He prepared extensively for my case, not trying to "wing it," and the difference was clear. He has a long history as a prosecutor so he knows seemingly judge, mediator, arbitrator and investigator in Denver. If parenting time is at stake, there is not a better attorney to have by your side than David.

Ed has taken care of many cases for me. He wont always tell you want you want to hear, but he will tell you what you need to hear and I've learned over the years that he is always right. He looks out for his clients and prefers Settlement over Trial - can't say that about other attorneys. I would never go to anyone else to take care of my legal issues.

I hired Mr. Huttner several years ago for a personal injury case -- while he talked a good game for a reasonable settlement to hook me in to signing with him after he reviewed my case -- subsequently there was little contact with him after that and once I made it clear to him that I was impressed with him - in a deposition he actually became combative with me - his client - - including casually mentioning my weight - which was completely unnecessary, unprofessional and inappropriate. He realized I wasn’t going to settle for less then what he said was to be expected in the beginning and was angry I was not impressed with him to say the very least.

Faced with the shock of a divorce after a 25+ year marriage, I had to quickly secure legal counsel. Jeremy Bernstein was consistently mentioned as one of the best, and it was easy to find information validating his vast experience and legal knowledge. What I soon learned was that Jeremy is also personable, compassionate, honest and trustworthy. He was very responsive and resourceful, and guided me through the difficult unraveling of long-term investments and assets. Jeremy has a direct yet calming approach to dealing with the inherent challenges and disagreements in a divorce. I understand why friends consistently provided his name, and now I am happy to unequivocally recommend Jeremy!

Jeremy came highly recommended to me from multiple people that he would be a fighter for me and my case. He was the only attorney I consulted and was impressed with him and hired him. Jeremy was friendly and understanding of my situation, which at times he had to navigate some complexities. Also, Jeremy's staff and paralegals were always helpful, kind and understanding. I frequently received quick responses from Jeremy and his staff including in the evening and on weekends. I felt that his office took care of me and that I got the best results possible in my divorce. I highly recommend Jeremy.

Bob represented me for close to one year during my divorce case. From time to time throughout the process he would state that my case was one of the most difficult cases he had handled. About two weeks before the case was to be finalized, he suggested that I should "fire him" (stated over the phone) because I spoke up about my concerns. He also stated that he had other cases he was working on. I called the mediator assigned to our case and left a voice message about this conversation. The mediator did not return my call. For over a year Bob had been paid a large sum of money to represent me. At that time he had me between a "rock and a hard place". He actually walked out of his office on me during two occasions. I did not feel respected as a client, I felt trapped and exploited. By then I couldn't afford to start over financially and time was closing in. If he didn't want to represent me, he should have spoken up months earlier. Believe me, I have thought long and hard before sharing my story. I have tried to examine this experience from many point of views in an effort to be fair. The divorce was hard enough, our client/attorney relationship just added another level of frustration. To Bob's credit the divorce was finalized. However, to this very date, alimony and the property settlements as written were never secured.

Bob represented me during my divorce. The situation was rather complicated but Bob was able to get to the root of the issues and maintain focus in the face of various challenges. I found Bob to be extremely smart, competent, and interested in balancing time spent (cost) versus value achieved. He consistently kept me focused on the important issues. Bob was very easy to work with as his style was laid back, jovial, and flexible. I strongly recommend Bob Cooper as an attorney. I was very satisfied with his services and feel that my divorce was easier, fairly concluded, and done at a reasonable cost due to Bob's (and his entire offices) services.

Not only is Bob Cooper an excellent lawyer, he has a great understanding of the human issues that come up when there is a legal issue. He helped me following my divorce with child support and parenting time decisions. Bob is not an attorney who is interested in going head-to-head with other attorneys (though he is great at that, if needed) - he is most interested in everyone, and especially children, arriving at the best outcome with the least amount of pain and suffering. If there were six stars, I'd give him all of them.

I was impressed with Mr Usiak right from the beginning. He stated the pros and cons of the case, the percentage of the outcome and what all was involved in perusing my case. He was insightful. knowledgeable and didn't talk down to me, or treat me as a run of the mill case. I don't understand Bankruptcy and all the in and outs. My ex had filed a Chapter 13 to keep from paying the divorce settlement and Mr Usiak was very clear in his explanations, the law and what options I had, what the chances were for the options and possible outcomes. It was great to have him on my side Very warm and considerate. I would highly recommend Mr Usiak

Daniel Usiak is very knowledgable, but he is very weak in the courtroom. If you have an amiable family law case, he would be ideal. But if you are in a high-conflict case, involving child custody and litigation, as I was, he is not the attorney for you. He actually did more damage to my case than good, and I lost my case because he failed on so many fronts during the hearings, including not entering exhibits into evidence and not preparing for our hearing adequately.

I hired Attorney Matt Patton in July of 2023 to help me with my divorce. From the very first moment I met Matt, he was not only professional and knowledgeable, but he made me feel supported, empowered, understood, and at ease. What should have taken a few months to process took over a year because of things outside both of our control. Matt was there for me every step of the way and felt my frustrations as his own. He did everything in his power to get this handled for me quickly and efficiently. Throughout, Matt was communicative, kind, and represented me with integrity and grit. One of the more notable parts of Matt’s representation of me was whenever we had mediations or hearings in front of the Court, he stood up for me in ways that I have never been able to do for myself. To have a lawyer like that in my corner meant more to me than words can describe. I can honestly say that I would not have been able to make it through this process without him. Matt was able to get me everything I asked for and more. For the high level of representation I received, and for the care he gave to me and my case from the beginning to the end (especially in such an emotionally charged and delicate situation), Matt was worth every penny I spent to hire him as my lawyer. I could not give him a higher recommendation. Thank you, Matt, from the bottom of my heart, and thank you to your amazing Paralegal, Amanda, for making this process as least painful and as smooth as possible given the circumstances. You guys are truly the best! -Karina

Bridgett Has been great and very helpful with my cases (custody and child support). I had little hope fighting a gender biased system typically favorable of women, but after quite some time things have worked out well considering. Unfortunately sometimes individuals have a biased view such as Sherri kowaleski, and I’m sure many others who never retained Harrison law firm, just aren’t pleased with the outcome of the cases they were on the opposite end of. Leaving a bad review for someone you’ve never hired is distasteful and irrelevant. Services rendered have been helpful to myself and my family and I will continue to have this firm on retainer for the foreseeable future.

Paul is undoubtedly the most honest and hard-working attorney I've ever had the pleasure of working with. His dedication and expertise were evident throughout the entire process, and his impact on my legal matters was truly exceptional. Paul handled three separate cases for me: one divorce and two domestic violence cases. Remarkably, we achieved favorable outcomes in all three. His deep understanding of the law, combined with his strategic approach, played a pivotal role in these successes. A close friend of mine, who had previously benefited from Paul's services in his own divorce case, recommended him to me. I am so grateful for that recommendation. From the very beginning, Paul demonstrated a commitment to my cases that went far beyond my expectations. He was not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly empathetic, making a challenging time much more manageable. One of the standout qualities of working with Paul was his exceptional communication. Whether through phone calls, emails, or in-person meetings, he was always readily available to address my questions and concerns. His responsiveness ensured that I was never left in the dark and always felt supported throughout the legal process. Paul’s ability to explain complex legal concepts in a clear and understandable manner was invaluable. He took the time to walk me through each step of the process, providing me with the information I needed to make informed decisions. This level of transparency and patience significantly reduced my stress and helped me feel more confident in the outcomes of my cases. Furthermore, Paul's professionalism and ethical standards are second to none. His genuine care for his clients and his unwavering dedication to achieving the best possible results truly set him apart from other attorneys. Given my positive experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Paul to anyone seeking legal representation. His expertise, dedication, and exceptional client service make him an outstanding choice for anyone in need of a reliable and effective attorney. I would confidently refer him to all my friends and family, knowing they would receive the same high level of care and expertise that I did.

At the beginning of the divorce case there was minimum contact. When a deadline near there was more communication but was last minute. Once it came time for mediation the charges really increased and it felt as the information gathered in the 9 months prior was not retained. In the end I would have probably saved money by representing my self because the permanent orders we 99% my exes request.

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:

  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.
