Sahmra and her entire team were fantastic from start to finish. I could write a full length essay about everything I appreciated about her business, but I will limit to my top three.
1. Sahmra and her team were punctual. From the initial consultation to the signing of documents, everything startedon time.
2. Sahmra and her team are knowledgeable, patient, and technologically savvy. I appreciated how Sahmra was able to thoroughly present information via zoom as a skilled teacher.
3. Sahmra made me feel as though she wanted to continue the business relationship even as my children grow older. She positioned herself as a true family lawyer that would extend to my children as I age.
I would highly recommend Sahmra Stevenson and her team for family law needs.

I know "great divorce" sounds crazy, but Ms. Stinson was dedicated, up-front and honest about what was going on. She made a very stressful situation more tolerable. I would definitely recommend her for her client focus.

I cannot speak to the firm's skills or ability, but I will say I find it exceedingly unprofessional to apparently refuse to call me despite the fact that I left 4 messages. Also they agreed to review audio documentation for me but they never called me back and now appear to be ignoring my messages.

Victor Berger is a world-class attorney with exceptional litigation and negotiation skills. Victor works with clients towards the view of avoiding court if humanly possible but diligently prepares for a winning strategy if court is unavoidable. Not only is Victor a people person and very relatable, his work ethic is impeccable. Victor promptly returns all calls and emails, returned several calls on weekends and even a Sunday, called me before traveling out of the country to update me on my legal matter, and completed every task he told me would do. If Victor agrees to take your case, hire him on the spot. I was thrilled with the outcome of my very difficult legal matter. I give Victor 150% credit for my positive outcome. Much gratitude to Victor Berger!

Mr. Gracey is a stand up attorney for what is right. When a "professional" was slandering his client and unethically telling the judge outright lies, he immediately took action to address the situation and made sure the judge was informed.

My husband and I had trouble finding a reputable attorney, we had met 4. Wayne was the first one willing to put us on a payment plan for the retainer. He even traveled to our home when my husband was sick to meet with us. I have since referred him several other clients and they all seem equally as happy. His friendly staff was always available to answer our questions when Wayne was busy in court. We highly recommend him

Mensch is a Yiddish which roughly means a good person, a person of integrity and honesty, and I can’t think of a better word to describe Marni Schwartz.
I highly recommend Marni for anyone in need of legal representation. I have used Marni for my divorce and recently for a custody matter, and I couldn't have been more grateful for her expertise and guidance every step of the way. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable in her field, but she also took the time to make sure I understood all of my options and what to expect throughout the process. She was always responsive and kept me updated on any developments or changes in my case. Additionally, she was very professional and compassionate, making a difficult situation a bit easier to handle. Overall, I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional service provided by Marni and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal representation.

Marni,
I owe you a special debt of gratitude. From the moment we met I felt a sense of ease and assuredness that I would get the best outcome available. As you have seen there was no way I was going to settle this in a reasonable manner.
Thank you for your unfailing support, I know you deal with all sorts of clients and are told all sorts of things, it was always my intention to be honest and forthright with you to assist you in helping me.
I'm grateful a friend suggested I hire you and without a doubt, YOU ARE THE BEST!
I look forward to continuing our relationship and I'd be shocked and amazed if I don't need you in the future.
Thank you so much!

If you are looking for an estate attorney, whether your estate is large or small, simple or complicated, I highly recommend Andre McDonald and the Mc Donald Law Firm. I recently had the occasion to use the McDonald Law Firm for a small estate that had some minor complications due to the fact the deceased did not have an estate prior to death. Mr. McDonald met with me several times over the phone for information gathering and then set up the face to face meeting. Every document, every filing, every notice was prepared, laid out and explained clearly. At the same time, Mr. McDonald prepared a living trust for me with the same meticulous precision he used when he prepared the estate. I have complete confidence, due to Mr. McDonald's in depth knowledge of estate law on every level that the estate will be settled cleanly and quickly and my Trust will provide exactly what I want upon my passing. Do not settle for anything less than the excellence provided by Andre McDonald, his team and the McDonald Law Firm.

Thomas Stahl and his associates are very kind, patient and good in what they do. Tom was my attorney and from my very first meeting I could tell he would be great for me. He helped me understand the law and various strategies for my divorce so I get my fair share of our assets. Of course more importantly I got the custody of my kids. I highly recommend Tom and his firm.

Thanks to Brenda.... the facts surrounding my son's automobile accident were revealed and the outcome changed in his favor. Through her hard work and persistence, my son was fully compensated for his injuries and property loss. Our calls were ALWAYS returned promptly, with any questions answered in a timely manner. As the case progressed, Brenda continually kept us abreast of any new or changing details. I would HIGHLY recommend her services as she has proven to be a skilled attorney who is both personable and professional.

She was also able to have my fines waived & i did not get any points on my driving record. She was a nice lady as well. She was approachable; she explained everything in detail so I could understand. I'm very pleased with the results. Thank you so much! She's also quite fashionable. She's a very confident attorney. She does a great job!

Attorney Furman offers good legal representation, as she has a plethora of experiences dealing with varying factors. We did our best to present our case, but sometimes external factors are too great to overcome, regardless, I feel that my views were articulated properly. Sometimes it may feel like you have fallen to the wayside leading up to the trial, but Attorney Furman will always respond to a call, text, or email as soon as she can. Overall, I’m happy with the representation and will reach out for any future issues.

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.
