Tammy did a great job on my case. I never had to go to court, she was able to handle everything while mainly communicating through email. I appreciated her communication and willingness to help. I would recommend if ever needed.

Rachel was very unprofessional. She didn’t take the case serious. She showed up the the court house unprepared. Judge was asking simple questions about the case she was shooting from the hip with the answers. Making my boyfriend have to step in and answer for her. Then when the final judgement was issued she conviently let the 10 days for an appeal laps. She was the worse took our $1500 and ran. Then to top it all off she dodge him for at least 2 weeks about speaking to her regarding everything.

Christine Aung and Valerie were a Godsend in my divorce ! After being misrepresented by a previous attorney, Christine took on my divorce case, picked up the pieces and handled everything completely and professionally. Christine always answers her cell phone when you have questions or need advice. She is a wealth of information and guided me through every step of the process.
They both go above and beyond to help you navigate the legal process and help you understand what is going on and don’t leave you in the dark. They are the best and only have your best interest in mind, they strive to get the best outcome in your favor!

Men are often on the losing side of family law. Christine equalizes that. She listens to what you want tells you what she can do and does it. She's with you every step of the way. I can't say enough good things. There is nobody better to have on your side.

Ms. Ambrose is absolutely hands down the best attorney you can find. Not only does she do her job right she does it with compassion. I had wasted so much money on other lawyers that wasted my money, didnt do anything right or have any compassion for my case. Thank God I fired them and found her. She is no pushover and she will let you know how it is. No sugar coating the issue like some or fake promises. You need to hear the truth even if you are in the wrong. I had an attorney that told me what I wanted to hear and I almost lost my battle. Sandy picked up my case and turned it around. It was work...she made me realize what was important but it was worth the time heartache and money. Please don't make the same mistakes I made. Ms. Ambrose is rated so high for a reason. Shes also a really good person with a heart of gold that goes after exactly what you need. Don't settle for anyone else. She's the best!

Mr Huddleston represented me in a very ugly divorce, and I can think of no other attorney that I would rather have in my corner.Divorce can be a very nasty and drawn out affair,and often parties involved tend to make bad decisions, and I was no exception. Mike took the time to listen to me and advise me .
He gave solid advise, and worked with me through the entire process.
Thank you Mike

Mr. Huddleston represented me in my injury suit. My neck was hurt and he took me on as a client, collected all the information, doctors bills and reports and insurance information. He was able to get me a settlement that not only paid for the left over doctor's bills, but also would allow me to pay for care in the future. All through it, he kept me informed and worked hard to get me all that I deserved. I would highly recommend Mike Huddleston to anyone who needs an attorney.

Mr. Clements wrote our living wills, poa for healthcare, and our wills. He suggested ways to minimize the expenses of probate. We did some price shopping and found him to be fair priced, as well as pleasant to work with. The process was quick and all of our questions were answered.

I always had a really rough go of family legal matters until I met Jared 5 years ago. He's helped my family and I tremendously since then. I'll never use another attorney for any family related matters again. I wish I had his services sooner!

So I have to brag for a minute about my lawyer. He is the best thing in this world when you get put in situations like mine with a very difficult person. He is literally God's gift to women like me who have fathers of their children that want to be Deadbeats and treat everyone like s***. He literally lives up to every single word he said to me the first day I met him. So thanks to my lawyer for restoring hope in women like me with douchebags like him in our lives.

I highly recommend this attorney. When I sent out some questions to several of my attorneys, no one else responded to me except Brett, and it was when he was in EUROPE on VACATION. He has also stayed up late on a weekend working on my stuff, he even called me on a Sunday to see how I was doing. He is the only attorney that cared about 'how I was doing'. He has a wonderful family; He is honest, ethical, knowledgeable (or will find out), he acknowledges your emails or assigns someone to get back to you. A very good man. I can't say enough good about this attorney.

I would not recommend anyone work with this individual. To my knowledge no motions were filed or submitted to the opposing legal representative over the course of several years. I simply gave up due to the unprofessional behavior that occurred after our first meeting. Mr. Tuma took my money and stopped responding to emails and phone calls. Do not recommend.

Chris was recommended to me by my bank clerk. From the get go I was happy with him. Quick to return phone calls, knowledgeable, and listened to me rant a few times. He handled my divorce with grace and sharp, honest counsel. He's worth far more than I paid him.

Chris Ditslear is hands down an amazing lawyer. I find dealing with any legal process sucks, but Chris definitely makes it suck less. He’ll take care of you (and your family). He takes the guess work out of really complicated situations. He’ll be frank and realistic - so expect zero b.s. I can’t say enough good things about Chris. I’ve fortunately worked with him during two unfortunate situations (including one this month, July 2019). He went above and beyond to secure sanity and safety for my family when dealing with my divorce case. I cannot think him enough for his efforts (while also being reasonably charged). I’d recommend anyone to Chris who needs family law services!

Chris was referred to me by a Church friend. From the first meeting, where HE came and met us at a coffee shop so we didn’t have to attempt the stairs (Dad and I both needed canes to walk at the time), to when he met Dad for a personal matter, He was professional, knowledgeable and compassionate to our needs. My Divorce was not something I ever thought I’d go through, nevermind needing a Lawyer. Both my Pastor and Chris helped me through the toughest times I have faced so far in my life. Chris and his Administrative Assistant made me, my Kids and my Dad all feel comfortable and confident both with and in them. Chris took time to explain each step and my/our options. He also helped me understand how each part of the process would either help or hinder the situation depending on how the Ruling and choices went, etc. Chris also went out of his way to help me find assistance with food, bills and other matters. He wasn’t out for money, He fought for what we needed and won!! (Sorry Octavia for all the extra paperwork). I not only found a great Lawyer, we made new friends!

Mr. Michael L. Boswell is a top-notch, knowledgeable attorney with a very caring, compassionate and personalized touch, which is why I highly recommend him. There is no way that I will ever be able to thank or repay Mr. Boswell for his kind and much needed legal advice and assistance. He could see that I was very distraught and anxious over a very personal family legal matter, which required the legal expertise of an attorney who could understand and personally relate to my situation. Mr. Boswell was that attorney. He is a very kindhearted, legal professional, who connects with his clients, who connected with me on a very personal level. Though now retired, I used to work with numerous, various attorneys on a weekly basis for about two decades, who either worked for the county or the state, or who were in private practice. My point being, I am well familiar with attorneys. Of the hundreds of attorneys that I worked with in that two decade time span, Mr. Boswell is one of the top three attorneys that I have had the pleasure to work with and who I hold in the highest regard. Take my advice. If you need an attorney who cares, who understands and who you want to work with you on a personal level, Mr. Boswell is the attorney that you need to see. Thank-you, Mr. Boswell! I will never be able to thank you or repay you for your much needed legal advice and assistance.

Michael Boswell is representing our disabled child in a Special Education case. He's a very experienced attorney, immensely knowledgeable, and extremely ethical. This is a man who has strong committed principles (and was definitely the answer to our prayers) combined with a relentless drive to vigorously protect the rights of children with special needs. He is always responsive (allowing - obviously - for his other responsibilities including frequent court appearances) to my often lengthy emails and he has kept us informed every step of the way. I am completely confident that we (and especially our child) are in safe, dedicated, capable hands. Kids with special needs are particularly vulnerable so having such an effective force for good safeguarding our son' rights is incredibly reassuring and we would highly recommend Michael Boswell without hesitation.

Michael Boswell has represented me in a case which has gone on for almost seven years. I am a little guy fighting a massive legal machine which has caused damage to me and hundreds of individuals. He has never faltered from continuing my representation where it has far exceeded my capability to stand my ground on my own. His staff is equally as dedicated. And while he is not always in a position to return calls immediately, his assistants assigned to individual cases are responsive to repeated inquiries and have kept me informed.

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.
