This is my story, In 2016 I started my journey at nursing school at Stone Academy in the evening program. I encountered many delays during this time, I finally graduated in the year 2020 instead of 2019. I have been trying to pass my NCLEX from November 2020 until January 2024, I passed. I felt accomplished and all congrats were in order. I applied for a job went through the process but my license keep saying pending on DPH website.
I called the Board of Nursing and the person who answered the phone informed me that my license will not granted until they receive an updated transcript that I graduated from this institution as the one they have on file said withdrawn. The emotions were high when I heard these words my response was how could you have sent me ATT to write my boards for the past 3 years? The backlash was awful, detached and no empathy. She did refer me to call OHE ( Office of Higher Education) to find out if they have the transcript but they did not! Long story short….OHE put me on a list to request an official transcript from Stone Academy, this school stop existing in 2022 and currently have lawsuits.
I decided to higher a Lawyer, I called Keily Mira Law Firm and was connected to Jon. I went in the office, I explained my case but he never had a case like mine. He got the understanding and decided to take my case, he was also hitting close doors! I gave him all the information for him to work with, when I thought getting a Lawyer would perform a miracle, I felt frustrated and overwhelmed. Jon reminded me that he is working on my behalf and he is my ADVOCATE, I would have to be patient because it wasn’t an easy task.
OHE placed my name on a list to receive my official transcript, even though a copy was sent wouldn’t be enough, on 2/20/2024. I emailed OHE 2 weeks ago to find out if there were any updates the person responded to me yesterday 4/18/2024 “as of right now there hasn’t been any updates and I have escalated your case”. I forgot to forward this email to Jon yesterday, I was rushing to work. While I was at work yesterday my phone rang and I saw that the call was coming from Jon’s Office.
He was excited too, He said your license is in your inbox, I was thinking this is too good to be true but he kept saying it. I started crying on the phone, He insist I check and so I did. I couldn’t see from my eyes being filled with tears. I said where is it coming from and he told me and I saw it! Awwwwh what a relief Jon has been working behind the scenes while I was being patient, Jon was definitely my advocate! I am forever grateful, I am now moving forward with my life to make a better living for myself and my family. I cannot thank you enough! You didn’t turn me away. Thank you! Thank you!

My attorney Brittany helped me with a custody battle brought against me by the father of my child and she helped me through the entire process! Making sure to break things down into detail for me and also being an amazing support system as this was stressful for me and with me having no prior court orders or court knowledge. I would recommend her and her amazing office to anyone in search of legal help, the office staff is outstanding, professional, and ensure that they get back to you in a timely manner! She handled this matter for me in a way as if it were personal to her and that mean the world to me!! Thank you so much to the entire team at Marshall & Veale!!

I'm a New Yorker and I was involved with a dispute with the ex that involved outrageous child kidnapping charges across state line. Rick work in conjunction with my lawyer in NY to get these dubious charges dropped. I can't thank him enough and having the right lawyer that knows the Conneticut courts really helped. He was very attentive to my case and I can't thank him enough. I highly recommend him, especially if you have a crazy high conflict ex!

I was referred to Rick by a friend, and from the first phone call with his paralegal Isabel, a genuine caring, patient, dedicated, smart, and a skilled professional, I knew I was in good hands. Rick is a highly intelligent, ethical family attorney that understands the emotional impact on clients aproaching each case with empathy and compassion taking the time to explain the process in an ease language, always with high standards of professionalism and ethical manner. Rick never judged me, never doubted me, only listened, taking the time to learn and understand the story (My Story -The “Marriage of Lies”). Rick and Isabel held my hand firmly, guiding and supporting me throughout 15 months of a painful ordeal that seemed never going to end, with patience and a total caring style that is so hard to find, going above and beyond to fight my fight and to protect me, handling all obstacles and challenges with professionalism, composure and integrity, never saying no, never giving up, never abandoning me, especially in times I was not my best self, cheering me up along the way and putting me back together as best as they could Words cannot express my deepest gratitude and admiration to all, Rick, Isabel, Leslie (my army of angels), and to all other caring and amazing professionals I met in the office. Rick is a true “Honorable” to a society that desperately needs a highly intelligent, skilled professional of “Justice” who respects, cares, protects and remembers humanity in all, specialty in the vulnerable. Rick - I was honored to be represented by you, and proud to stand next to you! Thank you for fighting my fight! Thank you for being there for me!
I have and will continue to pray for you, your families for strength and peace as you fight the good fight! eli:-)

Is Rick expensive? Yes. But I also promise he’s the best divorce attorney you will ever hire. He will fight tooth and nail for you to get an honest settlement. He’s kind and collegiate to his clients but, when you need him to get nasty and fight for you he will, always. I recommend him with no hesitation. If you are going through a nasty divorce like I did, he’s the only one I would ever trust.

Attorney Harold Ralph Burke of Greenwich, CT gave excellent advice-- quickly, completely and clearly answered. Thank you, Attorney Burke, I appreciate it!

You won't find a more dedicated lawyer than Harold. He will be your tireless crusader and will not hesitate in your representation. Finally, a lawyer who believes in his clients and cares about them as an individual and about a true successful outcome of their case. He represented me in a matrimonial matter on an appeal - took it to the highest Court in New York, and was successful! As a lawyer myself in a different field, I know what makes an outstanding attorney stand out in a sea of mediocre attorneys, and Harold is most definitely in the class of outstanding attorneys.

Harold is the type of attorney that I wish everyone could experience and have the pleasure of his representation. He is extremely thoughtful, listens to the facts presented him, gives unbiased factual feedback, and represents you with class and dignity. He does not look to gouge the other party (unlike the attorney we faced), and he kept the dialogue civil and professional, despite the challenges one faces in civil litigation where opposing counsel can act quite interestingly.
He managed to extract me from a 25 year marriage in 9 months, with significant assets effectively being split, and only one year of alimony - who could ask for better results than that! Further, he was extremely aware of tax implications of assets being disposed, loss carry forwards and a host of other material items that needed to be incorporated into a resolution and he did so effectively and surgically.
I could not have been asked to be better represented that the job he performed so well for me. He is the kind of knowledgeable person that, regardless of the type of litigation one is contemplating, his professional guidance, thoughtfulness and experience just make him a rare find in this world! And, he is simply a good human being in a world where so many have lost touch with reality. I couldn't more strongly endorse his skills and professionalism, and that comes from someone who spent 35 years on Wall Street, so I don't make that endorsement lightly!

I had a traffic ticket. If this ticket wasn't thrown out of court, my license could have been suspended and my insurance would have went up. Thanks to Joe's experience, he was able to get it thrown out of court. I will be using his services in the future and would recommend him to others. He is experienced, understanding, patient and easy to work with. I am very thankful for the work he has done for me.

Melissa, Kevin and Kelly showed the perfect combination of compassion and competence as they took me thru the most financially threatening, emotional disturbing and overall challenging time of my life. As a result I landed on my feet happy and in good shape for my future. I am now able to take care of my sons and look forward to happier days in every aspect of my life. The service approach of always being there to answer questions combined with their deep knowledge of divorce law and decades of experience combined to quickly build my trust in the Needle Cuda team. If you find yourself in a divorce situation I highly recommend your first call be to this team.

Megan McGrath handled my collaberative divorce and I highly recommend her. She was professional and compassionate through the entire process and really helped get me to stable ground and a fair distribution of assets, after a fragile and emotional beginning. I'd recommend her for the collaberative process, like I went through, but I also saw that she has the ability to be a much more fierce advocate if in litigation, as well. She made the process smooth and I'd trust her in either scenario. I cannot say "thank you" enough, Megan!

Attorney Marlow was always readily available and on top of what is going on in the case. He thoroughly answered any questions I had and put it in terms I can easily understand. Throughout the process, he was very fair and always had my back. His experience in divorce procedures was phenomenal and he was extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone who is unfortunately going through the divorce process, especially if their are children involved.

Melissa is absolutely the best disability attorney anyone could ask for to help them navigate the complicated process of SSDI. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable and professional, but she has a genuine compassion for her clients. She understood that I was going through an unexpectant life altering change and at times, I was unable to focus or compose myself. Melissa was caring and patient with me and put me at ease. She explained how to fill out the paperwork and took the time to review each of the questions with me. She was extremely responsive and always available to answer any questions I had. It is because of her expertise that I was approved. I would highly recommend Melissa for anyone looking a highly competent and emphatic attorney. Thank you, Melissa, for all of your hard work and diligence.

Melissa is one of the kindest, greatest, most helpful person I’ve ever had the chance to talk to. After having a horrible year last year and finally getting my notice about my disability coverage. I fell into a pretty bad depression, but Melissa was so kind to me and was able to appeal it and I got approved, I went through a pretty traumatic experience and lost my hearing, along with a whole list of other problems and thought applying for disability was such a hassle. I was so happy she cared so much to do her best to help me get approved. Thank you Melissa! Thank you so much! She even helped me with my total disability problems, she knew what papers I needed, along with any questions I may have had. Such a helpful person for those in need. I know If I run into any future problems I will go here first.

She made the process smooth and I'd trust her in either scenario. I cannot say "thank you" enough, Megan!

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.
