I had the pleasure of working with Preston Sanders when I got into a bit of trouble with a traffic ticket violation. From the moment I contacted him, Preston was dedicated and committed to helping me out. He took the time to listen to my situation, thoroughly reviewed the details of my case, and provided me with sound legal advice.
Thanks to Preston's expertise and hard work, he was able to get the case against me dismissed. However, there was a hiccup with the county clerk's office, and they mistakenly recorded the result incorrectly. Despite the case being resolved in my favor, this error caused unnecessary confusion and frustration.
Fortunately, Preston didn't just stop at winning the case—he went above and beyond by following up with the county clerk's office months later to rectify the mistake. He handled the situation with professionalism and persistence until everything was sorted out correctly.
I highly recommend Preston Sanders to anyone in need of a reliable and trustworthy lawyer. His dedication to his clients and his commitment to achieving the best possible outcome truly set him apart.

My wife and I recently hired Chris and his law firm to do a Revocable Trust for the two of us. We could not have been more satisfied with our experience. Chris is a very straight-forward and personable attorney, and we both felt that he went above and beyond to get to know and understand our family dynamics. Very reasonably priced and his documents and explanations are thorough and clear. His office manager Kyle was also very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this attorney and his staff!

Hired Chris to do an Estate Plan for my elderly and sick mother. Great experience all around. Took a lot of stress off of myself and my family. Chris and his staff came out to my mother's home several times and spent a few hours going over the details and answering all of our questions. Extremely satisfied with our experience and the law firm's client service!

I contacted them for consultation on a monetary item. He listened and advised me fairly that while I seemed to be in the right I would most likely waste my time and efforts for little recompense..I appreciate the honesty and candor. I will be contacting first with all my legal needs first.

Molly Lucas’ expertise and professionalism guided me through a difficult, painful process to the most positive outcome possible. The well-being and best interests of her clients are unquestionably her top priority. The genuine empathy & patient assistance of staff members Cody & Mike were invaluable throughout the entire journey. Their combined professionalism, knowledge, skill and compassion in dealing with clients under extreme duress have earned my admiration and gratitude. They carried the entire load of the case, which I am grateful for as they were far more equipped to do so. They also took the time to explain each and every step for me. Lucas Law has earned my highest recommendation.

Paid $7000 to represent my son on a misdemeanor. Her advice and planning was for him to play a sympathy card with the judge. Didn’t even manage to get bail for him and visited him once in jail. He has currently been in prison for 2 years on the misdemeanor charge.

I was between a rock the and a hard place when I had to find a lawyer within 2 weeks because the previous lawyer had quit at the worst possible time and left me with a high temporary payment . My divorce was rescheduled for right after Xmas which did not give me enough time to find a good lawyer.
I was going through what could have been a very contentious divorce and custody battle.
I found Mr. Carter a few days after New Years after another lawyer recommended him. He answered as many of my questions and took the time to look up my case so I did not have to explain everything. He immediately was able to get a continuance which gave me peace of mind and time to get all the discovery done. After the divorce,
the child support was reduced substantially from 600 to 250. I still have to pay the arrears but a minimal amount until I get on my feet financially. I was able to get joint legal custody and feel that he will be able to help me with this in the future.
I very much regret that I didn't find him sooner because could have saved thousands in payments.
After the divorce , he answered all my questions while my brother was in a three way conversation.
He was always generous with time estimates and breaks up the cost into 6 minute increments.
I would recommend him to everyone unlike the previous lawyer who was no help.

I hired this lawyer to do my divorce/custody. Worse mistake ever made. When I first met her she seemed very nice and knew what she was doing. It all started to go down hill once I had paid her. She was very rude to me over the phone, she would basically talk down on me. When she found out who my ex husbands lawyer was, she started to tell me that she respected that lawyer and was friends with her so right then and there I automatically knew I wasn’t going to get anything I had asked for. It was almost like she was scared to fight for me against the other lawyer. Well that’s when she started to ignore my texts and phone calls. She didn’t speak to me for about a month and a half. That’s when my soon to be ex husband started texting me saying his lawyer couldn’t get ahold of mine either. We all tried and no response. Well we basically did our divorce and custody papers through his lawyer only! He would contact me and let me know what was going on and what his lawyer was going to put in the papers. I had no support what so ever from my lawyer because she still wouldn’t contact me. Well I finally got fed up with it and told her that I paid her to be my lawyer and she needed to contact me!!!!! When she finally contacted me she said “I had a class Monday and I wasn’t able to speak.” Which does not explain where she was the rest of the Month and a half. She called me and I told her what me and my husband had agreed upon and she started gripping at me some more and talking down on me. She then told me a day and time to come into her office to sign my divorce papers. When I showed up at her office she took me to the room to sign the papers. While she was being very unprofessional and telling me that I shouldn’t sign them because I was going against the advice of my lawyer and saying I needed to take it all to court. She was not ever there for me to give me advice or to help me. She wanted to push it as long as she could so we would have to go to court. But I signed my papers and left. I would not recommend this lawyer to anyone! I wasted my money on her. I basically paid her for nothing because she didn’t do anything I asked of her and all she did was bring me to her office and let me sign my divorce papers.

We hired Pat as a divorce and custody lawyer after having wonderful experience with her in my criminal case. She was rude, talked down to us and was not on our side the entire time. She was on the other party's side because she knew their attorney. She ignored us for nearly 3 months, I had to do the majority of the investigating, and then let things go.Then gave us bad advice to give my husbands kids up for adoption to people who are alcoholics and child abusers. It was unfair treatment and we let her go as our attorney. We were aware that she had an excuse of family issues at the time our case was in full swing but that does not excuse her behavior. Now we will never know if those kids will survive the holidays.

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.
