Megan very quickly grasped the nuanced details of our personal situation and worked with us with both efficiency and empathy to reach an agreement that felt comfortable and reasonable to both parties. Of note, she also has a good team and works well with them to achieve closure without excessive billing. This was important, and helpful during a process neither of us had experienced before. Megan also responded to a Sunday night email almost instantly which was not expected, but very much appreciated. There’s a good reason several trusted colleagues recommended her, and I wouldn’t hesitate to do so myself, nor would my now ex- husband.

From the time that my wife and I purchased our home and through two cost-saving refinances, attorney Widmer has been there helping us to close our mortgages. Every closing has been successful, on time, and with no surprises. Attorney Widmer always explained everything we needed to know while ensuring that all parties included in the process were lined up and ready on the days of the closings. No question about it, five stars and top recommendations for being a professional, organized, people-first lawyer that actually gets it done.

August of 2016 I came to Attorney Davis with a mess involving my teenage son. In the past, I had worked with several attorneys that delivered poor results and wasted a lot of my money. I found Attorney Davis through a referral from another highly regarded Attorney that was too busy to take my case at the time. Immediately Attorney Davis took the case on and began working on the situation within 24 hours of agreeing on the use of her services. Over the last year and a half Attorney Davis navigated my case through the courts and strategically worked with the other involved attorneys on my behalf. While working with Attorney Davis I have found that she is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, thoughtful, strategic, conscious, and a truly amazing person. I can confidently recommend Attorney Davis for family matters involving children. Attorney Davis has been fair and the cost for using her services was worth every penny. I would consider Attorney Davis to be a true adversary of families with a strong moral compass, and passion for giving clients her absolute best work. Thank you, Attorney Davis you are awesome and I truly appreciate all that you do!

Where to begin, because I didn't when I got arrested and falsely charged with a dui. I called a couple other lawyers and firms and didn't have any good feelings about who I talked to, felt like they just wanted my money. Tamar gave me excellent advise and made me have no worries proceeding forward with her representation. We went to several hearings with the outcome still wanting to charge me with my crimes, but Tamar took no for an answer she knew something wasn't right with how everything went down that night for me. After a few months and a couple hearings later my case we dropped and only a small fine was acquitted towards me, she saved my future this is something that could of greatly affected me and ruined my life in many ways.

We hired Tim and his firm to help on a managed care dispute where we felt we were owed a significant amount of money and were having difficulties resolving it independently. They handled the case impeccably. Their inside knowledge of the company and the people involved was instrumental and helped expedite things. They researched our claims thoroughly and put together a case that was almost impossible to dispute. Most importantly, they were appropriately aggressive and achieved an extremely favorable outcome for us but did it in a way that allowed us to maintain a cordial continuing relationship with the company. We have dealt with many lawyers and many firms and this was one of the most satisfying experiences I have ever had. On a personal level, Tim was a pleasure to work with. He is calm, reassuring, does not patronize, lays out both the good and the bad, is timely and stands by his work. Everyone at the firm was professional and always helpful.

I had a wonderful experience with Atty Jurkiewicz and his para-legal Aralinde. I came in emotionally stressed due to finances and they were able to clarify my situation and my options and let me choose a course of action. Going through the bankruptcy process with them was broken down to be straightforward and clear, and they were extremely timely in responding to any questions and concerns I had. I had guidance at all times. I would retain them again in a heartbeat for any future concerns, although that hopefully won’t be necessary!

I reached out to this law firm from my Google search. A soft and friendly voice answered, it was attorney Edward Jurkiewicz. I nervously explained my financial situation to him and he patiently listened. Afterwards he gave me a general rundown of the process and requirements If I do decided to go with him. I wasn’t sure what to do or If I should continue to shop around for other assistance. During that conversation I felt comfortable with him so we agreed to meet in person to go over the details formally. Once we were done I agreed to take on his service. He introduced me to his paralegal Aralinde. She assisted with more of the paperwork and other documents I needed for the process. The worksheet they provided me was very thorough and had very comprehensive questions. I needed to list detailed information to complete my process. They were very thorough with the paperwork or the documents they needed do you start this process. Anytime I had a question I I ended up reaching out to them for answers. I get a really quick response, which is a great thing when when you need it immediately. When time came to do the actual filing it was done as stated. I was scheduled a date for the trustees hearing. Unfortunately because of a current Coronavirus situation the hearing was rescheduled twice. I wanted it to be over with as soon as possible but I had no control over the current situation so I have to be patient and waited. Finally there was a set date for the hearing it was to be done via phone conferencing. I didn’t know what to expect from this set up but Edward was kind enough to inform me of how to proceed. Both Edward and Aralinde were there with me during the hearing. They both were there early and explained the rundown of the hearing. After the hearing Edward asked me if I had any questions and explained to me what to be expected. Overall I had a really good experience with this law firm, Edward and Aralinde. They made this process for me very easy and painless. I truly recommend a service for anyone that is in the same type of situation I was in. Their service was very valuable to me. I can’t thank them enough for what they did for me. Highly recommended.

Attorney Jurkiewicz took his time to explain all of our options and walk us through the bankruptcy process. He and Aralinde went above and beyond to ensure we had all of our paperwork ready and their attention to detail ensured our stressful time was manageable.

We were introduced to Conlon & McGlynn by our friend/realtor. From the start, Louise and Karin were very helpful, very straightforward, and honest in their opinions and recommendations. We utilized their service as closing attorney on a short sale property we put an offer in for. The whole journey took over 6 months. Couldn’t have made it 6 1/2 months through this whole journey without their guidance and expertise in the matter. They helped two people buy a seemingly impossible house! We appreciate everything that the office had done to help push through the legal and red tape bureaucracy. All in all, their flexibility, patience, professionalism, and persistence was unmatched! Thanks for everything!

Divorce is never easy and it wasn't for me, nor my family. I worked closely with Louise through the actual proceedings, and subsequently through a number of post-judgments. At all times, she and her associates displayed amazing patience, empathy, understanding and professionalism for all parties concerned. I whole-heartedly recommend Louise and her firm to anyone facing this life-changing circumstance. Should someone approaching this point in her/his life want to talk about my experience with Louise and her associates, am perfectly willing to connect with whomever.

Conlon & McGlynn is an amazing practice. Louise McGlynn was everything I was looking for in an attorney. She was forceful yet extremely professional; knowledgeable, resourceful and at the same time, was very empathetic to me and my situation. This helped make a very difficult time more much more tolerable. I have already recommended her to others and will continue to do so. I could not have asked for a better firm to represent me.

I have been working with Attorney Dave Minicozzi for close to 20 years. He adeptly handled the closing on my house and its subsequent refinance, as well as my Will. He has also assisted my mother with her Will and other legal concerns. Attorney Minicozzi is professional and well-versed. He responds in a timely fashion, shows concern for his clients and their well-being, and works hard on their behalf. He is well-respected in the local community and draws on his connections to provide additional resources for his clients when necessary. Attorney Minicozzi has always been available to answer my questions or respond to my concerns, and does so in a friendly and no-nonsense manner. His affable approach to his work makes him easy to talk with, confide in, and trust. I never hesitate to recommend Attorney Minicozzi, and do so happily and with much regard.

Attorney Minicozzi assisted me after my divorce when my ex-husband refused to comply with the divorce decree. David was supportive and knowledgeable about how to proceed through this difficult experience. During the course of the case he had to file multiple contempt charges. He was always prepared to stand in front of the Judge and advocate for me. Being in front of a Judge is nerve-racking but David always reviewed with me prior to the appearance what would happen, questions that may be asked, making me feel confident when I had to get on the stand.

Atty. David Minicozzi has been my attorney for over 10 years. He is extremely bright and incrediby dedicated to his clients and their various needs and challenges. He goes "over and above" in making himself available to his clients in any way that is necessary. He helps his clients feel included and informed, whether it is by generously taking his time to explain sometimes complex legal details or by providing a calm demeanor and sympathetic ear, which is so important given the often stressful and emotional landscape clients may be trying to navigate. His passionate nature shows not only in his approach to practicing law, but also in his dedication and participation in many social activities that benefit his community. I have recommended Atty. Minicozzi to business associates, as well as friends, knowing with confidence that they will be in excellent hands. I will continue to recommend Atty. Minicozzi to anyone that is in need of expert legal counsel.

Won “best case scenario” judgment Should you ever find yourself needing a family lawyer, I highly recommend Andrew Eliot. He was recommended as one of the best CT / NY family attorneys, which I needed with a complex NY agreement that was interpreted in Connecticut. Long story short: Andy helped me win a best case scenario judgment. Andy laser focused on the key issues, brought in game changing experts, handled himself with poise despite a lowball opponent — all while being mindful of fees. I trust him. It is clear that he genuinely cares about his clients and families. The process may suck, but this is the guy you want on your side.

Joe was a tremendous resource during my divorce. He listened intently during our initial consultation, and ultimately understood how to work WITH me. Throughout the process he was interested in how I wanted to handle and approach each step. He didn't hesitate to recommend alternate approaches to reach my end goals, but never overstepped. He understood that I was the one who had to live with the result. Joe's legal knowledge and guidance was always spot on. He helped me fully understand the difference between my "wants" and what the law would allow. No Surprises. That was critical to managing my expectations, and helped me to better prepare for the next stage of my life. Joe was GREAT at helping me manage the financial side of the process. He explained his costs and the billing process. No unnecessary phone calls, no unnecessary meetings. We spoke when we needed to, period. In the end, costs for the process were about 1/3 of my ex-wife's. Not because his rates were cheaper, but because he and I managed the process better. I would recommend Joe to anyone who, God forbid, needs to go through this process.

We never thought that one day we would need to look for a Family Law Attorney for help, but life at times brings us unexpected sudden events! We were extremely rewarded when we were referred to The Law Offices of Rashmi N. Patel. We still remember details of our first conversation, occurred on the same day in which she was asked to call us back, but the major one is that we noticed that above all we were speaking with a True Human Being, instead of just an Attorney!In anything that one does in life, it does not matter at what level, sense of Humanity needs to be present, a cordial smile should be seen even over the phone, and the W.I.T. will to help needs to be firm and honest.We were indeed quite impressed with that phone call and we knew at that moment that we could place our entire Trust on Rashmi N. Patel as we did feel that she would get the job done!Well, let me tell you! We were right! She immediately became familiar with our case, asked important questions and moved forward with the process.During its course, which was not very long at all, she proved herself to be a very clever and experienced Family Law Attorney, firm on her words, truthful on her commitment, and kind on her guidance.When in Court at the first required appearance, on a very crucial part of the litigation, she proved again to be a Winner! Not a Winner on that moment, but a Winner of all!What Rashmi did that day, how she professionally performed, and how she guided us showed once again that we were dealing with a Fighter, not for her Rights, but to defend ours, which became as important to her than they were at the time to ourselves! We did not measured words to express our sincere appreciation for all that she wanted to do, did, and we knew she would do!Every time we needed her; she was there. Every time we e-mailed her, she got right back. Every time we texted her, she texted back. Every time we called, she called back!All of the many conference calls we had were done timely and to the point! She did not extend it to be long. She led the conversation to decisively address that important points and got it done efficiently.Rashmi immediate responses showed us how we were important to her and assured us on how rewarded we were in counting with her skilled Legal Services. We knew that when she said we would celebrate Victory that she meant it and she knew within her heart that no unfairness should remain unpunished so that people should somehow be penalized for their unjustified and evil actions!It did not take long, besides many days passing by, for the final honestly Victory come to fruition!We still remember Rashmi N. Patel very strong words when of the very first call: “We will help you!” We for sure do encourage you, if in need of a Family Law or Immigration truly competent Attorney, to call the Law Offices of Rashmi N. Patel. You will not talk with an assistant that will transfer to another Paralegal, and so forth and so forth! You will speak with Rashmi on the first shot and every time you need to!There is a huge difference between people who chose certain Professions because of the “money” involved and people who do what they love to do with the intensity of their soul and passion within their heart!Rashmi is one of them! Rewarding True Success comes not to those who enrich themselves from serving others but from the conviction that we as Humans are on this Earth to Make A Difference to others! Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi) - 1869/1948 - was also an Indian Lawyer, and on one of his most famous Quotes, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others”, Gandhi pretty much reinforced our personal view of Rashmi N. Patel, also an Indian Attorney. “By serving others from the heart and soul, the difference that you make to yourself and others is without any doubt quite priceless! Thank you so much, Rashmi! Awesome Legal Performance!

Before writing this review, my family and I are forever grateful and indebted to Rashmi for representing our case & helping us to keep our family together. When we first approached her, we were scared, confused, and clueless about how the case is going to unfold. She listened to the entire case very patiently and offered necessary guidance. She was honest about the chances we had to win. During the whole process, she was very thoughtful, dedicated, and promptly responded to our questions. At times, we lost our hope, but she persistently tried everything to win this case. I am thankful to her and her entire team to help me keep our family together. I highly recommend her expertise and professionalism if you are looking for an Immigration Attorney for any complicated immigration-related issues.

My citizenship case involved multitude of items that had to obtained from various sources (agencies). Some of it was obsolete, some of it was archived, none of it readily available. Once gotten, it then needed to be cross referenced and checked for accuracy. From the distance it looked like a long and winding road. Ms. Patel handled the case with aplomb and alacrity: my case was completed sooner than expected. This attorney is highly effective, very efficient and utmost professional. Thoroughly recommended.

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.
