I had a serious mold issue in my home due to defects caused by the builder, which led me to seek legal help from Moster Law Firm. At first, the communication was a bit uncertain, and I wasn’t sure how things would proceed. However, once we received a response from the opposing counsel, Shahriar made it a priority to keep me updated every step of the way.
He regularly checked in through emails and phone calls, ensuring I was informed about any developments in my case. His professionalism and dedication gave me confidence that my concerns were being taken seriously. In the end, I felt supported throughout the process.
I appreciate the effort put in by Shahriar and the team at Moster Law Firm. If you're dealing with a similar issue and need a firm that will fight for you while keeping you informed, I would recommend them.

I recently had the good fortune of working with Esther Donald on my collaberative divorce. Esther came highly recommeded to me and she lived up to the billing. The divorce process was much more challenging than I had anticipated. Esther was instrumental in getting the divorce done collaberatively, thus preventing litigation. Her advice was always spot on and she was always willing to lend an empathetic ear. Her ability to get my case across the finish line, working with multiple lawyers, was truly impressive. It was clear to me that Esther was invested in me as a client, as I am sure she is with all of her clients. Should you need a collaberative divorce attorney, I strongly recommend Esther.

As this was my first time ever needing to hire an attorney for anything, my experience was as close to perfect as I could imagine. Ms. Bryson was attentive, I felt heard when sharing information, all while receiving great guidance on what to do next. Her ability to also explain court language to me so I wasn't lost was huge! She is definitely a fighter, and that's what you want when it comes to representation.

Unfortunate to experience ongoing litigation, but fortunate to have John Kappel represent me against an appeal. John was patient, objective, and responsive during a stressful time. He helped explain the legal process and approach and was open to feedback as well. Successful outcome. Highly recommend!

If you are going through a complicated divorce and having the misfortune to have to appeal a judge’s decision, I highly recommend you to hire John Kappel (Fox Rothschild, LLP) as your appeal attorney.
Through this unpleasant experience, I learned that “only between 5% to 15 % of the thousands of appellate cases cited by the United States Courts, are successful, depending on the specific type of appeal.”
Therefore, it is crucial that your attorney knows how to build a strong and comprehensive case to beat your opponent in an appeal.
John possesses the expertise and the clear knowledge that are needed during this challenging time.
I am writing this to extend my heartfelt thanks for the exceptional legal representation John has been provided me.

I engaged John Kappel as my legal counsel for a divorce appeal. During our collaboration, he showed remarkable responsiveness in communication, even replying within an hour of my initial message through Avvo. He consistently tackled my inquiries and addressed any concerns I had. His commitment to keeping me informed was commendable, and he maintained transparency on costs to ensure my comfort throughout the legal proceedings. The quality of his work was exceptional, showcasing his expertise and meticulousness. His professionalism made a challenging situation more manageable, for which I am truly grateful for his outstanding service.

I contacted Hargrave Family Law last week. I'm in the very beginning stage(s) of what I hope will be a smooth transition into the next part of my life's journey. They have been nothing short of incredibly kind, understanding, and the tone of conversation(s) via text, phone or email, have been so comforting, patient and not rushed. I received a call from Ms. Toi Angelle this afternoon, and again, I feel like I'm going to be in great hands. I've made contact over the years to other law firms, and I felt nothing by way of empathy in most cases. During a time like this, a person wants to know that they are supported, and they don't have to go it alone emotionally, amongst other things. I'll try to come back and update once I'm in the thick of things, but right now I just wanted to thank everyone I've had contact with, it means more than you'll ever know. I have to tell you that I'm a strong person, but even I know I still need others to make it, none of us can make it alone. I'm about to remix this message if I don't stop, and simply say, thank you all for what you've given me so far. I know it's redundant, but that's just worth saying more than once.
I want to add something below, because it was some time after I had already determined that it was time for me to make a very hard choice. My hope is that it speaks to someone who needs to hear it, because in my opinion, this was a gentle way of telling a person to maintain their peace, don't entertain anything that is going to take you out of character, or crack your foundation. You have to know when it's time to make an adjustment, and most of all, you can/will survive it.

Unfortunately, I was only able to get operator/receptionist on the phone. Though it was almost noon, she responded as if she were just waking up. I told her who I was and why I was calling (referral from Bar Association) and she responded by telling me that I had CALLED a law firm.🤣😂 Would the Bar Association refer to me someone who was NOT an attorney? Then, she asked if I was an attorney.😂😂 I had told her who I was and why I was calling… besides, would an attorney call the Bar Association referral service, looking for an attorney??
Good luck with this firm! I’m sure the attorney is more intelligent but you might never reach him, with this woman answering the phone.

Belachew law firm took a huge burden off my shoulders. I was injured from a car accident and had to endure the physical and mental stress. On top of that, dealing with insurance companies and legal processes by myself wasn’t easy at all. But then I made the best decision by reaching out to Ruth Belachew, and her team resolved my case. I’ve now fully recovered, back to my normal life, and happy with the settlement we’ve reached. Thank you Ruth.

I engaged John Dubiel at Bristol & Dubiel LLP to assist me in obtaining a judgement for an overdue debt of close to $1.0 million. John was responsive and did a great job of working with me on the debt. The debtor came up with all kinds of crazy excuses/affidavits but through John's excellent legal work and guidance we were able to obtain a summary judgement for the whole amount and everything we asked for. I highly recommend John Dubiel for your legal needs especially in difficult situations.

A coworker that knew I needed a divorce attorney recommended Jan in 2007. I'm Asian and at the time spoke limited English. She patiently listened to my story and assured me that she could help. I suggested having a translator for the court room but Jan told me that she understood me well and that together we would present the case. She turned an impossible situation into a very good settlement for me and my children.
Since then I think of Jan as a friend I can reach out to for any legal needs including my will, healthcare and durable powers of attorney.
Most recently she helped my son with his own child custody settlement.
If you need legal help I highly recommend Jan Holleywell-Smith, she is a very good attorney.

This law firm I still believe is a good firm to represent your case. Although, I tried to retain them most recently. My review is regarding the intake staff personnel Sarah. Sarah’s professionalism, communication, and ability to listen and assist a client is subpar. First call, I specifically asked for a particular attorney, she then suggested another attorney. Due to them moving into the Dallas office the next day, she advised to give her until the following week for someone to contact me. I was patient and in that waiting time, decided I would go with her suggestion as the Dallas attorney was more affordable, closer, and honestly had stronger credentials. Never got the follow-up call. I called and she only kept trying to redirect me. There were some back and forth and I ended up requesting for one of the Managing Partners to respond to a specific request. Guess what, she follows up without ever asking but comes back with a generic response. Keep in mind, this is after waiting another week for the MP to return. I had to wait for her to go back to ask the original request. Long story short, her mannerism doesn't display trustworthiness, but a person who appears to want to do her own thing. I still don’t believe she communicated properly to the MP. It appears that she may not have the client nor the firms' best interest in mind. In my opinion she doesn’t need to be at the forefront when she has created weeks of delay and roadblocks, and she was made aware that I was referred by a reputable friend of this firm.

I recently hired the office of Friedman and Feiger for a pretty intense legal battle. My mental health and livelihood were on the line. Jason Friedman, Larry Friedman and Tara Munder took immediate action.
It had been some time since I felt protected/safe. I was protected and defended by what I would call nothing less than a legal dream team. Larry Friedman and Jason Friedman are two of the smartest and most talented lawyer’s. Critical thinking and analytical skills like no other.
I prophesied that the Friedman’s and the firm always live in a winning season.
Anyone can fight, but these guys are my champions!
I will continue to highly recommend Larry, Jason and the Friedman and Feiger team.

I cannot stress enough how important it is to find the right attorney for a divorce. I had already hired a different attorney for my divorce proceedings and then needed to find an attorney that specialized in Education, which is where I came across Marianne and her Avvo profile. After speaking with her, I knew right away that she was the right attorney for me and hired her to take care of my situation with the university. Within a week or so, Marianne seamlessly handled my situation with the university without any hassle on my part, and I knew I wanted her on board to be involved with my divorce. Since the current divorce attorney was charging so much and falling short with results, I fired that attorney and retained Marianne. Let me tell you, it was night and day after that point and Marianne once again took care of business and gave me the results I wanted in my divorce.
She is extremely professional, always on top of what is going on, excellent with communication, extremely patient, and very fair with billing. I would never hesitate to recommend her to any friends and family that are in need of an attorney that specializes in the fields of Education or Family Law. I wish her all the best, please continue the excellent service you provide, and thank you again for all of your guidance and help!

Hands down easy peasy experience working with this firm! I was referred to Trujillo Gonzalez by my best friend whom had unfortunately been in a similar situation with an auto accident. I am so happy I called, they fought for me until we reached the best deal we possibly could and from expecting nothing and being so disappointed with the whole system- Trujillo González came in and gave me the biggest surprise with a compensation far greater than expected!
Two years went by and it was worth the wait with little effort from my part! I am so appreciative of everyone’s hard work for my case! I couldn’t be happier to leave them a perfect star rating!

I am very happy with the results of my case handled by attorney Shaina Weisberg. She was very empathetic, caring, and helpful. She listened to my concerns and quickly responded to my questions. She reviewed the work of the previous attorneys and prepared an action plan. She shared her plans and took action to implement them. She kept me up to date with all of the proceedings with a weekly summary and occasional phone calls. I would highly recommend her for your divorce attorney.

My experience with attorneys has not always been good. In going through my divorce I had to fire my first attorney because she failed to meet deadlines and didn't have the acuity to grasp the intricacies of my case. My case was complex, involved the control of a business and we were facing unscrupulous opposition who had no problem perjuring themselves multiple times.
Once I hired Ben things changed. Billing was honest and reasonable. Ben handled himself well in multiple hearings against a barrage of misinformation.
I wish Ben had been the first attorney I hired. It would have saved me a lot of money. Ben was able to grasp the right legal argument at the right time in order show the judge the information and the precedents that would guide his decisions.
My divorce is now final. I kept control of the business and reached an acceptable settlement. The settlement became possible only because opposing counsel was not successful in selling their position to the judge.
Opposing counsel told my X to settle because she wasn't going to trial. It was a long drawn out process because what opposing counsel was asking for was not reasonable and they were distorting the facts.
Part of opposing counsels strategy was to cause me so much financial pain I would pay anything to stop the bleeding. It was only through Ben's competence and integrity that I was able to survive the process.
I give Ben my highest recommendation that is backed up with the war stories to prove his legal skills.

Ja’Mesha Morgan is an exceptional attorney who exceeded my expectations in every way. From our very first meeting, she was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and transparent, walking me through each step of the process and setting realistic expectations about how my case would unfold. Her ability to explain the legal complexities while managing expectations was truly impressive.
Throughout my case, Ja’Mesha was always in close communication, promptly responding to my questions via email or direct calls, which I deeply appreciated. It's rare to find an attorney who is as personable and dedicated as she is—she truly made me feel like I was her top priority.
In the end, we achieved a favorable outcome, exactly as she had predicted, which is a testament to her experience and insight in handling employment cases.
Ja’Mesha is kind, patient, hardworking, and extremely knowledgeable—qualities that make her the perfect attorney. I have told and recommended her to many of my friends, and I would happily recommend her to anyone else in need of legal assistance in a heartbeat.

I recently worked with JL Morgan Law regarding an employment termination issue, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the moment I reached out, she was incredibly prompt and personable. Ms.Morgan quickly outlined all of my options and took the time to ensure I understood each one, which gave me confidence in my decision-making process.
She knows her field and laws, and made me feel supported every step of the way. I’m 100% certain she had my family’s best interests at heart throughout, and I am incredibly grateful for her expertise and genuine care. I highly recommend Ms.Morgans for anyone needing legal assistance—shes simply the best!

I recently hired the office of Friedman and Feiger for a pretty intense legal battle. My mental health and livelihood were on the line. Jason Friedman, Larry Friedman and Tara Munder took immediate action.
It had been some time since I felt protected/safe. I was protected and defended by what I would call nothing less than a legal dream team. Larry Friedman and Jason Friedman are two of the smartest and most talented lawyer’s. Critical thinking and analytical skills like no other.
I prophesied that the Friedman’s and the firm always live in a winning season.
Anyone can fight, but these guys are my champions!
I will continue to highly recommend Larry, Jason and the Friedman and Feiger team.

- 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.

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.

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.
