We recently went to Kahan Kerensky Caposela, LLP for advice on our legal options should one of us become incapacitated. Attorney Sutton gave us excellent information and when he inquired as to the status of our will, we all realized that it's 25 years old and needed to be updated. So Attorney Sutton and team updated the will (complete with additional paperwork). It was all very efficient. And every interaction we had with anyone in the office was pleasant and professional. We felt like we were in really good hands. We just signed the papers today and feel pretty confident about the future. We highly recommend KKC for any legal needs you have and KKC can be assured that, should we need legal advice or services in the future, we will definitely turn to them.

Steve Sutton was simply wonderful. He took the time to truly understand our situation - listening, asking, and listening some more – and immediately gained our trust as he counseled us through our estate planning. He made us feel comfortable as we worked through the process, explaining each point to ensure our complete understanding as we made decisions about our plan. In addition to meeting with us, Steve spent time with our adult children to explain the power of attorney, advanced health directives and medical authorization forms. He put us all at ease to ask questions, obtain clarification, and feel comfortable with the process and the outcome. He was professional with a personal touch and made the entire process actually enjoyable. I would highly recommend working with Stephen Sutton at Kahan, Kerensky, and Capasella.
Gratefully,
Gary and Susie Lotreck

Vining Law is a 10/10; I would recommend!!! Attorney Vining and his team are top-tier professionals who get the job done. My experience was pristine from start to finish. Attorney Vining was very transparent with expectations. Their team patiently answered my many questions and never made me feel like a bother. Attorney Vining and Attorney Scottland's level of insight was reassuring throughout the entire process.
When I learned I had to participate in a deposition, I was nervous, but once I prepped with Attorney Vining, I felt ready and was able to navigate the opposing attorney's questions with ease. He went above and beyond my asking number, and with this settlement, I finally was made whole. His passion for what he does shows. If I ever find myself in an unfortunate situation again, I know who my first call will be.
Thank you again-- Vining Law!!!

Attorney McConnell and his staff were great, and very attentive to my needs. Divorce is terrible regardless of the circumstance, and when children are involved it makes it that much harder. However, thanks to Attorney McConnell and his staff, we were able to reach a positive outcome quickly, and with as little pain as possible. Highly recommend.

She fought for what was best for my child and me, proving their team to be more than just lawyers but true advocates for our well-being.

Thomas is a gentleman and a pleasure to work with. He saw the importance of my case and fit me into his already-busy schedule. As my council, he made me feel safe and earned my trust in every step of the process. Thomas made time for me, even by holding office hours over the weekend. He is very intelligent and well-versed in his practice. He stuck up for me and defended my case to the best of his ability. It was a long day, but Thomas got me through it and we concluded with a favorable verdict. I would not hesitate to recommend Thomas J. Piscatelli to anyone considering his services. Thank you Tom!

Attorney Feraizi is an exceptional attorney in several ways. He is extremely articulate, charismatic and likable, and most importantly he not only understands the law and the application of it better than other attorneys, but he has a creative and highly insightful skillset that is far beyond most attorneys. Mr. Feraizi should be an attorney expert on television or working for a large firm at $500.00/hour but he is too busy helping others and contributing to community by helping individuals who would normally have often weak representation. He is rare in how he puts helping others ahead of his own ego and benefits often. It is also likli that a large firm would fear hiring Mr. Feraizi because he would be a threat to the upper management and moving to the top and in addition to this he would do what was right for clients and put office politics a very distant second. All attorneys and businesses have a few upset customers and in that I would like to put the few negative reviews that this fine attorney has had. Attorney Feraizi has inevitably dealt with more than a few difficul clients that don't understand the law or the practical considerations that must be done in order to get to a successful result. Often customers or clients of his didn't want to accept the incredible difficulty of their case, and we all know people who will not hear the facts and will only believe their own rose-colored views of their situation or predicament that they are in. In my case attorney Feraizi got a good result and fought for me but I did feel that he should have put on the court record the unusual circumstances of my case wherein I called someone a f....ng retard for saying outrageous things about US soldiers and a store or Target that I have a 1.2 Billion form 211 IRS complaint against that looked at years of purchases by me and determined that one of my self scan purchases was done incorrectly wherein I double scanned a less expensive item and not the more expensive one and stole under 100 from the store. An outrageous action by store that looked at years of purchases and had alterior motives, and I wanted on court record for future civil suit. However Attorney Feraizi did the right thing and only focused on his required job and getting me the best results in case, which he did and is not responsible for these extraneous matters unrelated and hence I give him a 5/5 or 100% but thought of only giving him a 4 earlier, but changed mind. I would also like to address the clients who claimed that attorney Feraizi has a temper and is short tempered. This is nonsense as because his mind burns on a higher octane, and he is in phenomenal physical shape he has mental and physical energy that few has and is assertive and uncompromising in stating the facts as they are. He does what is right and isn't concerned about acceding trends such as claiming a man who is assertive is mansplaining or expecting people to conform to ridiculous trends. In fact I was a victim of this absurdity in having the first amendment pi....ed on and getting charged for making a statement or an opinion about someone who made a disparaging comment. Attorney Feraizi is not short tempered andis in fact much cooler, collected, and focused that other attorneys who will make decisions based upon like or dislike of a client or how they feel during a specific time. Attorney Feraizi has unrivaled, focused, and assertive discipline that doesn't change or waver and is single focused on what is best for his clients. Highly recommend!!

I retained Attorney Shore for a divorce agreement modification. All I can say is WOW. Hands down the best Attorney I have ever hired in my entire life. She is tough, smart, and not afraid to tackle difficult and sensitive issues with a firm and caring hand. I have never seen someone stand up for my rights in court the way that Attorney Shore did. She worked with me out of state, spent long hours on my case, all while she was EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT. I can not put into words what her representation has meant to me and my family. If you do not hire Attorney Shore, you are not hiring the best.

I recently found myself in the middle of a "gray" divorce. 70 years old, married for 13 years to a woman that turned on me. I decided to represent myself in court, defending my pension, Social Security, health care, non marital assets, bank accounts and such. It didn't take long for me to realize I needed a professional consultation as her attorney's proposal was outrageous and would ruin me financially for the rest of my life.
Karen's name was highly recommended by a close friend. A quick email to her office and I scheduled a consultation.
I'm a good judge of people and immediately knew she was the person I wanted representing me. No nonsense or small talk. Straight to the point. Professional and knows the law. I knew she had my back.
Once the dust settled, I was able to keep 90% of what I worked my entire life for. To say I am happy with her service would be an understatement.
Regarding payment, her billing was straightforward and well documented. The entire process cost me much less than I expected.
In short, I would highly recommend consulting with Karen first. You won't regret it.

Attorney Gersten is a top divorce attorney in the area. She did an amazing job and what seemed to be impossible to me a year ago. I went through a very difficult divorce. Before hiring attorney Gersten I interviewed 4 other attorneys and I am glad I chose Karen. She is very efficient and has fair charges and accounting of hours practice. Karen is very knowledgeable and well respected in the court. She always fights to protect interests of her clients, while open to settlement without unnecessary trials if her clients are satisfied with outcome. If presented with challenge, Karen is open to face it without hesitation and do research of precedents to be used in the court. Karen is always confident and has genuine care for her clients. She always comes to the court prepared and ready to protect your interests. Karen is working hard to make sure she provides high quality service. I wish I could give Karen more than 5 starts.

I hired Attorney Gersten to represent me through a divorce from my now ex-husband, and it is the best financial decision I have ever made by a LANDSLIDE. Karen is the absolute pinnacle of professionalism, legal expertise, and client advocacy. Her legal counsel is worth every penny (and then some).
After finding out that my husband was having an affair, I wanted the best representation I could find. I was blind-sided and had no idea what I should expect navigating a divorce. I met with a few other divorce-specializing lawyers locally before finding Attorney Gersten. The consultations I had with other lawyers all seemed to end up in the same place-- a cookie-cutter response, and dismissive approach to the dissolution of my 9-year marriage. Not Attorney Gersten. From the instant I met with her to discuss my situation, I knew I'd found the person to help me get through the toughest season of my life.
Karen listened attentively to the details and circumstances that made my case unique, making sure my biggest concerns and needs would be met moving forward as she strategized her approach. She made me feel heard and understood, like a real partner throughout the process. She kept me grounded and provided me with previews on what documentation needed to be prepared (both by me, and her team), what I might expect while appearing in court, or what negotiations might come up on the road to settling my case. Further than that, she actually pointed out additional factors about my situation that I never would have thought to, explaining why they must be non-negotiable given my circumstances. Karen takes a no-nonsense approach, wasting no time on fluff. Every second she spent on my case was well documented and easily understood. Any interactions we had, she’d always try to get as much accomplished as we possibly could together to prepare for the next step. After watching Attorney Gersten command a room during court proceedings and other interactions, it is obvious that she is exceptionally well-respected by her peers and others within the judicial system. She is the perfect balance of kind and caring in her interactions, while remaining assertive in her communication and negotiations. She is ethical, confident, and exudes professionalism through every step.
Anyone who has been through a divorce knows the rollercoaster of emotions that can be experienced. Having Attorney Gersten as a champion in my corner through this process gave me not only an outstanding result financially settling my divorce, but something MUCH more important: peace of mind. Every nerve-wrecking situation that came up, she was there to calm my nerves. If you have the opportunity to work with Attorney Gersten… RUN, don’t walk.

Artila came highly recommended to me by a trusted friend. She really took her time to understand every detail of my case and wasted absolutely no time getting started. She is incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and answers all questions as fast and effective as possible. Due to my court date being in less than 2 weeks from the time she was hired, she could not attend court as she was at a different client’s hearing. She made sure her partner Dan was very well prepared and versed with all of the facts of my case for my court date. I could not be happier with the service I received!

I went to attorney Lubonja after my first attorney did not do anything for me and my children . Attorney Lubonja ended my nightmare with in 4 months. I got custody, and a reasonable asset division . Attorney Lubonja kept me in the loop at all time. Called me when she was sick, emailed me at 4 am , showed up for court not feeling well to represent me. She explained what options I have, and what to expect . Explained the pros and cons and the cost. She was the most transparent attorney I ever worked with. I can't thank her enough for her professional, honesty, and commitment. When I went to her my case was 9 months old and a mess due to my prior counsel and the GAL.
If you are like me, have no clue about law, need help and looking for someone knowledgeable to have your back please contact attorney Lubonja.

Attorney Ginzberg is exactly what you need for an attorney when you’re going through a divorce. He was empathetic, very much to the point and got everything done quickly. I went through to other attorneys before him that took my money and got nothing done. For this, I highly recommend Jeffrey Ginzberg.

Attorney Ginzberg provided me with legal representation that surpassed all my expectations. In addition to being kind and compassionate, he is fierce on the battlefield. He demonstrated the breadth of his legal expertise and knowledge in a particularly complex divorce case. Mr. Ginzberg has an exceptionally strong eye for detail. His explanation of the legal process was clear and understandable to a layperson. He adequately prepared me for my deposition to prevent me from becoming flustered in a setting where opposing counsel posed seemingly confrontational questions at a rapid-fire pace. He also has a very calm demeanor that was a blessing for clients in and out of the courtroom. His credentials are impeccable, and his professional training and expertise are evident in his interaction with other lawyers, paralegals, and courthouse staff. My highest recommendation goes to Mr. Ginzberg if you are looking for legal representation.

What began as a tough decision to find representation at a very difficult time, turned into a huge relief that helped me to protect my family's interests and needs. Catherine and her amazing staff helped me every step of the way, from consultation to the final judgement. Catherine was there, at any time, to answer my questions, address my concerns and explain every step of this process. My children and I were put in a difficult situation and Catherine walked me through it. At various times when I was unsure of what was in the best interests of my family, she explained the possible outcomes in a way that made it understandable and that allowed me to make the right decision. Catherine always told it as it was and explained how the system works and how to help my family achieve what we needed. When I was pushing for certain goals, Catherine facilitated it. Even when I was not able to reach those goals, Catherine was a voice of reason and explained how to care for my family the best way possible given the situation. She fought for my behalf multiple times and constantly tried to reach a written agreement even very early in the process. Catherine and her incredible staff were constantly in communication with me about what was happening and what could develop in the process. Many times, Catherine cooled my emotions and reminded me of the big picture. After filing for divorce in the middle of last year we came to an agreement early this year, and I could not be any more pleased. Catherine's attention to detail in the final agreement has left me with a feeling of relief, knowing that my children and I are protected and in turn have a much more comfortable and safer environment.

While Linda has a plethora of outstanding strengths, I valued Linda’s patience and her ability to keep me grounded and big picture based. Linda understands the intricacies and varying stages of emotions that accompany anyone who has a marriage that is ending.
Linda was able to appropriately determine the best way to guide me at each phase of process.
Linda approached every interaction professionally and with a prompt and consise communication style.
While I would have preferred not have have needed Linda’s services, I could not have made a better choice in retaining Linda to represent me.

After 28 months and two lawyers representing me in a complex divorce, Linda, as my third lawyer, finally settled my case in nineteen days. She is nothing but hard working, compassionate, ethical and smart. I had more communication with Linda than either of my past two lawyers combined. She really cared about bringing my divorce to a close after so little being accomplished after so much time. She was empathetic and at the same time worked us through all the details that had to be handled. She explained all legal aspects to me and her reasoning always made sense. She is incredibly skilled and experienced. As indicated here but I have to say again- Linda TRULY CARES about her clients and cases. She will go all out for you to get you your best deal. Thanks to Linda, I can finally move on and feel at peace.

I hired Peter Billings for a traffic violation and my experience with him was everything that one would hope for when hiring a lawyer. When I first contacted him, he got back to me quickly and was confident in being able to help me. Upon first meeting him, for the free consultation, he was nonjudgmental making me very comfortable telling him the complete situation. He also was very interested asking specific details and explained all the possible outcomes and the possibilities of each. I met with other popular lawyers locally and Billings was the most respectful of my time giving his complete undivided attention. Additionally, he is competitive in his pricing and made it clear he wasn’t going to lose a customer over costs. When I hired him, he communicated with me during the entire process and always returned my calls promptly. To top it off, he was able to get the best outcome possible.

Attorney Wing took a very difficult divorce and helped make the outcome as positive as possible for both parties. The process was challenging, due to unforeseen circumstances. His professionalism with the opposing side along with his knowledge of the court process, made the divorce less painful. Attorney Wing takes the time to listen to his clients and help get the best outcome as possible.

Attorney Wing helped me to create and send a demand letter when my former landlord failed to pay me back my duly owed security deposit. His assistance gave me the confidence to pursue a matter that felt intimidating.
In the past, I've dealt with lawyers that came off as being aloof and unpersonable. Attorney Wing, by contrast, is an extraordinarily genuine person who simultaneously manages to deftly navigate the law for his clients-- a balancing act which was impressive to behold, and which made me feel at all times that I was in good hands. I also had the chance to work with Karen, his paralegal, who was attentive and quick with communications.
I could not recommend Attorney Wing's services more highly.

Do not. I repeat do NOT settle for a subpar attorney when your reputation rests on another mans shoulders. This lawyer knows how the legal system works from a to z and if you are being falsely accused he will fight for you until the end. He worked tirelessly along with is assistant to get a false charge dismissed and was successful. Do not waste your time looking at reviews that say anything negative about this lawyer. He works extremely hard to uphold the the law and integrity of his clients it is on another level. Thanks jim and i appreciate your punctiality proffesionalism and attention to detail and payment flexibility.

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.
