Larry Martin is an effective lawyer who knows how to get the job done, but in my experience the communication and follow through after the verdict fell short.
I hired Mr. Martin to address a divorce/custody issue. Even though the verdict was a success. The follow through was a 2.5 /3 on a 5 point scale.
The attention to reviewing information that was provided to Larry or his team. Resulted in countless emails/phone calls back and forth only for myself to reiterate the information had previously been received by his team.
In addition, I wouldn’t say don’t hire Larry. I would say understand what your getting, set expectations on communications, and ensure his team is held accountable for every document their reviewing for you.

This is my first time with a divorce experience. Mr. Martin has been a god send. He is a straight shooter, does a great job developing a plan, provides options and very much approaches the event as a team. I have been so impressed with his ownership level and just a decent dude. Very appreciative to have our life paths cross.

When you need the best, the very best, then there is truly only one lawyer in Family and Divorce law and that attorney is Mr. Martin. . An extremely effective leader of people, Larry astounded me with his strategic ability, resourcefulness, and determination. Additionally, his technical expertise in family and divorce law is nationally respected and rightfully so. In my view, there is no such thing as an easy divorce and mine was very complex, performed under extreme discourse between the parties and to apply a little added pressure to the situation a client (me) who due to health issues was not as helpful as most clients can be. Larry took t all in stride. His “Game Plan” was second to none. Mr. Martin is an action-oriented, detail-focused, high performance individual. He is willing to take both ownership and accountability, and can lucidly present his conclusions that are always extremely well supported. Putting aside all of the technical skill and acumen of Larry, Mr. Martin is one the few people that has truly remained a simply “Nice Guy.” Someone, who after you go through one of the most trying events you can experience in life and come out on the other side, you just want to call him friend. Larry is someone I am very pleased to and do highly recommend without any reservation.

Mona Hosseiny-Tovar represented me in my divorce. Anytime I had a question or needed anything she was always quick to respond and didn’t mind answering any of my “dumb questions”. She was very kind and understanding of what I wanted and how to navigate the best possible solution. Mona is extremely knowledgeable and I would definitely recommend her and the Goranson Bain Ausley firm.

Going through a divorce is an emotional and complex thing to endure. Having the support of a positive, thoughtful, and caring lawyer is key. Esther and Jill made a very tough situation manageable. They were extremely organized and their support was unwavering. They turned an emotional process into a manageable endeavor. Esther’s empathy and understanding helped me in more ways that just what a typical lawyer would do. My divorce was finalized in a few months because of the constant support of Esther and Jill. While I pray no one has to go through a divorce; if you are in that situation I highly recommend Esther Donald and the team at Goranson Bain Ausley.

Hola estoy escribiendo este mensaje por mi familia. Gastamos mucho dinero en esta abogada y cuando dimos el último pago paro de tomar en cuenta nuestro caso de inmigración. Nos empezó a ignorar y nos pasó nuestro caso a unas de sus asistentes. Si tienen una problema de inmigración por favor no gasten dinero en esta abogada qué también a echo lo mismo con conocidos. A traído decepción y tristeza envés de ánimo y esperanza en mi familia porfavor si tienes problemas de inmigración busca otro abogado no vas a encontrar solución con este abogada. Le importo más el dinero que nuestro problema de mi familia.
Hello, I am here anonymously on behalf of my family. I do not recommend this lawyer at all. Once she has collected all of my families money from our case, they stopped working on our case and even started ignoring us with our problem still at hand. She seemed hopeful at first and did try and attempt to do something the first time we met but as time went on, she became so distant and even was rude to my family. She handed our case that she promised to solve and gave it to her assistants who had no idea about our case. She has brought distraught and sadness instead of hope to my family as she clearly does not care about us except our money. If you have any immigration problem she will do nothing but collect your money i recommend going to a lawyer that cares about people and not their money.

Mark Robinius has represented several cases for me and his team including Gabe Reed and Glen Weitzel have been nothing short of amazing. The experience and knowledge that they bring to the table is, in my opinion, unmatched. I’ve had the pleasure of referring them to several clients of mine and I’ve received great feedback from them as they’ve become repeat clients. This is my first stop when thinking of hiring an attorney in the Dallas area!

I cannot express my appreciation adequately enough for how Meyer Friedman Reed PLLC has helped our family.
Over a year ago I got a red light ticket in Dallas and Meyer Friedman Reed got it dismissed.
So when my daughter had an issue with old tickets and warrants Meyer Friedman Reed tackled them and ALL OF MY DAUGHTERS tickets were dismissed.
They have become a good friend to our family.
The most honest straightforward wonderful people is their entire firm.
The paralegals, Delilah, all the lady’s over the last few months have been incredible
I’ll never be able to thank them enough
Thank you Meyer Friedman Reed for being REAL, and the wonderful people you are

I can’t begin to express my gratitude enough!!
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!

Mr Karns and his para-legal Rob are some of the very best in the field of military law. Mr Karns years of experience made him invaluable in defending the attack on my character. While the military is not always fair Mr Karns works hard to ensure you get a fair outcome. His professionalism, empathy, and character are among his great qualities. He was always willing to answer every question I had, and to empathize with my situation. Hiring Karns Law puts your best foot forward for your defense whether it is a Court Martial or GOMOR. Without his help I would not have been able to successfully defend myself. Thank you again Mr Karns and Rob without you I don't know if I'd have made it through.

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.

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.

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.

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.
