My partner and I have availed the services of Ambler Keenan Mitchell Johnson for our Trust and estate plans for many years now. We recently had a Trust review to update our documents and found their services, as in the past, to be exceptional. Although a small glitch was discovered during the review of our documents the staff worked diligently to correct the situation and provided a seamless execution of our estate plans. Having utilized this firm for not only our Trusts but those of our parents we can confidently recommend their excellent services.

Ann successfully handled my collaborative divorce this year. She demonstrated a thorough knowledge and understanding of the issues involved and was skillful in explaining concepts to a layman with little experience in this area. She kept me regularly informed regarding all the developments in my case and was an excellent advocate for me when I was unable to be one for myself. It was clear the other professionals involved in the case enjoyed working with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a collaborative attorney and will absolutely use her again.

I can't say enough positive things about my representation from Ogborn Mihn, LLP. Jason Wesoky and his team were amazing to work with in a tough case. Jason was accurate in his predictions, was objective and rational with advice, and a professional guiding voice during challenging times. The team (Julie, Alyssa, and Jason) also did an amazing job communicating where things were at, what to expect next, and reasonable timelines for events to unfold. I always felt highly informed. I would recommend Jason Wesoky and Ogborn Mihn, LLP. They certainly had my interests in mind and went to work to protect me.

Working with Linda was incredible. I was at such a vulnerable place in my separation, and Linda made this so much easier. Obviously, no one wants to get divorced, and I was particularly shocked and emotional throughout the process. The most remarkable quality Linda had was just making me feel validated. She listened to me, was comforting to me, gave realistic solutions, and treated me with such kindness and empathy. She would take the time to ask about my daughter, my friends, my job, just because she cared and genuinely wanted the best for me. I’ll never forget how touched that made me feel, and is something I would never expect of an attorney. But she was more than a lawyer to me - instead a guiding force. I appreciate how she treated me like a person first - a friend, even, and how that made me feel more level headed to take on the divorce process with gusto. Additionally, Linda was professional and fantastic at her job. She kept cost considerations in mind the entire time which was extra nice. Linda was always professional, had knowledge of the legal system that opposing counsel didn’t even seem to have, and always spoke honestly with me. She found solutions, got creative with me, and had my back through many frustrating situations in the divorce process. I would absolutely recommend Linda to anyone getting divorced. For me, it helped that she wasn’t dissimilar to me - friendly, young, a motivator for other women, and at times even funny. :) She made the legal system accessible for me: someone who had never thought she would be in this situation. The world needs more Lindas! :)

Linda was wonderful to work with, very professional, and informative. Her work ethic proved to be a great help in my case. She was always fast to reply, and never left anything hanging. Even when she went on vacation, she kept me up-to-date with information. I definitely recommend her to anyone dealing with a family law case. I had a consultation meeting with her prior to hiring her, and I learned that she was going to be the right lawyer for me, but she was dedicated to the task and wouldn’t let me down.

She was always communicative, organized, calm, kind, and exceedingly knowledgeable. I can’t say enough wonderful things about how pleasant my experience has been with Linda and Alyssa, despite the frustrating situation that evolved with my ex-spouse. Many thanks to both of you for helping me navigate what turned out to be a more complicated and stressful process that I originally anticipated when I filed.

I had the pleasure of working with Sahar during a very challenging time. My ex-wife was demanding everything and completely unwilling to budge, while I just wanted to end things and move on. Sahar was incredibly patient and understanding, guiding me through the process while ensuring I was protected. She genuinely cared about my situation and was determined to make sure I received a fair settlement, even when it seemed like I wasn’t getting enough. Her strategic ideas were sharp, and she was honest every step of the way, always making sure I was comfortable with the decisions being made. Sahar made herself available whenever I needed her and was flexible to work around my schedule. If you're looking for a lawyer who truly cares and puts your interests first, I can't recommend Sahar enough.

Living in a small mountain town, I required a strong, knowledgeable female expert in divorce law. This is Sahar. From the start, Sahar had a clear understanding of how to advocate and protect me and my children from a difficult situation connected to alcohol addiction. She lawfully navigated these hard issues with empathy, efficiency, professionalism, and expertise. Additionally, Sahar provided me with outstanding consultation around child support and the options the state provides to ensure that my children receive the financial support the court ordered. Overall, Sahar is exceptional in both representation and consultation.

I was referred to Lynne after another lawyer mismanaged the beginning process of my divorce. When I met Lynne I was immediately drawn to her straightforward and professional demeanor. Lynne is intelligent, compassionate and legitimately cares about her clients. She takes pride in her work, which is apparent from her attention to detail. She was never dismissive of my situation and always made me feel comfortable. Lynne not only had my best interest in mind, but she was also looking out for my future. I trusted her explicitly during this difficult situation. Lynne and her team always followed through to the last detail, communicated and explained everything that was going on in my case. Her and her staff were always quick to respond to all of my requests/concerns. When you are going through an incredibly emotional and stressful situation, it makes things more manageable when you find an attorney who is extremely knowledgeable, dedicated and amazingly supportive. She is someone I would call a friend. I would highly recommend Lynne without hesitation to anyone, especially a close friend or family member.

I had a consultation with John Haas based on his excellent reviews and area of expertise. I hired John for my case because of his second-to-none knowledge of the law. What I quickly came to find out was that it was the absolute right choice because of the extreme care he took not only with the facts of my case and the strategy he utilized during my court hearings, but because of the extreme care he took with me personally. When involved in a family/civil court matter, one of the most difficult and stressful times in a person's life, choosing the right attorney is critical. John was absolutely the right choice! With his expertise and unsurpassed guidance, he led me unwaveringly to a successful outcome. Obviously the outcome is the most important aspect of a court action, but feeling personally supported, receiving frequent communication, and being listened to and involved throughout the process was incredibly empowering. Choosing to hire John Haas for my case is easily one of the best decisions I've ever made.

After months of trying to save my marriage I finally concluded there was nothing really left to save. Next step was meeting John Haas who came recommended through a friend. We can all agree that divorce is a pretty terrifying thing. And the day day I walked into his office I was exactly that- terrified. For the next hour John calmly walked me through the process, the rules, and procedures of divorce in Colorado. I walked out of there feeling an indescribable sense of relief and real confidence. I ended up settling the divorce amicably with John's total support and expertise. If you find yourself with no other alternative than divorce , I strongly suggest hiring John to represent you. He's very empathetic, get's it, and knows exactly what he's doing. And he'll take the time to make certain you understand what he's doing and why. His people skills are tops and is reasonably priced. I was happy with my settlement and you will be too.

Where to begin... I was a shattered mess before I hired John he was referred to me by a friend who had hired John to defend her when she needed help with her divorce. The day I did a consult with John I was able to see the light in a very dark and sad tunnel. I was incapable of defending myself against my husband at the time, where I was weak John stood with the strength I didn’t have. He has been a truly amazing and unique attorney. He puts his heart and soul into a career for which the universe created him for. Never had I ever felt neglected or marginalized through the nightmare I was living. He was brought into this world to have strength for those who have none. I could never thank him for giving me an amazing gift, he gave me strength to assert myself in the most difficult and fearful aspects of my life. He, in my eyes went way above and beyond his call of duty. I can never find words to describe in words what was given to me for the first time in 43 years. John is uniquely created to do what he has done for me. His amazing and spectacular team, had never once made me feel like I couldn’t trust them. An awesome unique attorney and his dream team have changed my entire world, my outlook on my future, and changed the way I view myself. That’s a gift I have never been given. Thank the universe for bringing John and his beautiful dream team. They now and forever fill a void, and will forever be protected in this, my newly reconstructed heart I Possess. My gratitude is forever, and my love and my fondness will be there till the stars burn out.

She is a talented young lawyer.

I hired Dick to take over a very complicated case nearly 20 years ago. My hearing date was actually on September 11, 2001 And was rescheduled when the court closed after the planes hit the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. I had a very complex & emotional case. I was young & naive & married a man I thought I knew but didn’t. He was a fantastic liar & could charm anyone by telling them exactly what they wanted to hear. He was able to convince his lawyer & mine that I was the one lying when it was him. I had been severely injured in a car accident not long after I met him. I got a substantial settlement for my injuries & the future medical expenses, the life ahead of me of severe chronic pain and inability to earn the income I would have without the pain. The man I married changed into someone else the moment we returned from our honeymoon. I was foolish & naive & put all of that money in a joint account (legally making it equally his even though the accident & settlement both occurred before we got married.). My ex spent it all. I trusted and believed he worked very long hours and traveled as needed with his job. I was focused on a series of major medical procedures like reconstruction of my jaw and face (5 surgeries and still need a titanium total joint replacement for my jaw). Having to leave my job & find another one before my short term disability ran out while getting my surgeries. I decided to finish my MBA in one semester before going back to work so was very distracted with the pain, procedures, moving and getting my MBA. When that money was gone he turned to credit cards I was unaware of & ran up $50k in debt that I was legally half responsible for. ( Full of charges to places I had never been & things from Victoria’s Secret that I never saw.) I was not around much & when I was I was either doing homework or resting from the constant chronic pain & series of surgeries and recovery. He went from the perfect charming man for me telling me everything I wanted to hear & believe about him to a completely different man the day we got home from our honeymoon. He became increasingly violent and dangerous until the day I left. The day I left he started loading a 9mm gun while screaming at me that he would NEVER let me leave! He demanded instructions to get the money from my life insurance policy from my employer. He had a perfect plan to put my body in a wood chipper after I was dead to destroy my body & all evidence. We were needing to landscape at the new house & it was perfect to just mix my body in with the mulch. He would tell everyone I abandoned him & left everything with him. I managed to get the loaded gun from him & ran out the door with my purse, keys, gun, the clothes on my back and — MY LIFE! I hired a “low cost” attorney who drug things out ran up the retainer & told me I had to return the gun to my ex for HIS 2nd amendment rights. He also got me a restraining order with my location on it! I had to move again & hire a new attorney! I had already spent $10,000 to get nowhere. I found Dick & he fixed everything! In court Dick & his associate had a full day of questioning my ex until he lost track of his lies. He couldn’t fight with a real man when he was used to picking on women. My ex even insulted the judge! Dick came into a mess of a case with deadlines that had passed & I was an emotional, terrified wreck. Dick was able to make me feel safe & return me to as close to financially & emotionally whole again as possible. He was THE BEST Lawyer in 2001, & I can’t begin to imagine how good he is now. He saved my life literally & financially so I could get a new start. He is worth EVERY penny! Dick is extremely knowledgeable of the laws, he is great with negotiating in virtually impossible situations. He is tough as nails, but also sensitive to what his client is going through & gets results.

My divorce took nearly two years. We were weeks away from having to endure the expense and emotional toll of a two day trial. Dick was referred by my ex-husband's attorney for the final mediation attempt. I am grateful that we agreed to use him. His experience and professional, yet direct communication and explaination resulted in the impossible, a settlement. He not only saved our marital estate thousands of dollars, he made the road to rebuilding our sanity, trust and communication for the sake of our children happen that much sooner. I will be forever grateful for his professionalism, experience and ability to communicate with both sides in an honest and direct manner.

I recently went through a divorce and Mr. Rotole was recommended to me but a co-worker. Mr. Rotole was extremely knowledgeable and was not afraid to take on my strange situation as I was a resident of Colorado and my ex husband lived out of state (I am active duty military and my ex-husband was former military). Mr. Rotole and his staff were constantly keeping me informed on communications they had with my now ex-husband. Even though my ex-husband choose not to participate in the divorce Mr. Rotole and his staff made sure he was always aware of what was going on and important court dates. My ex-husband made Mr. Rotole and his staffs job difficult at times, he would claim to not have gotten documents that were sent 3 different ways, he would call yelling at the staff. Mr. Rotole and his staff were never anything but professional and accommodating. I am extremely pleased with my experience with Mr. Rotole and his staff. Divorce is never an easy or fun experience but Mr. Rotole made it as painless as possible. I could not have been any more pleased with the out come. Thank you

Chris was our families lawyer for many years. He made sure to inform us regarding the cost of his services and cautioned us when we were pushing for things that would cost us more and have no benefit to us at all. He is straight forward about the law and about our chances of success in any situation. It's not all about the money with Chris and that is why I would recommend him to others. I know that they will get quality care, solid advice, and good value for their money.

I hired Craig to help me retrieve earnest money owed to me from a buyer after a failed house closing. The buyer had refused to pay any of the earnest money specified in a real estate contract, though I as seller had met all contract obligations. Craig presented me various options on how to proceed and discussed each option in detail, including cost-benefit analysis. Together we developed a strategy of recovery based on several of those options. In just two short, powerful emails to the buyer, Craig elicited a most favorable outcome. Craig gets my highest recommendation.

I can't thank John enough for helping me uncover some shady practices from my roofing contractor. Initially, everything seemed fine, but John guided me in investigating further. We discovered that several of my neighbors had also been misled by the same contractor. With John's support, we gathered evidence and took action to report the contractor, preventing him from scamming anyone else in our community. I highly recommend John- his expertise made all the difference!

I'm relieved I chose John to represent me in the separation proceedings initiated by my wife. He responded quickly to all my inquiries through email and text messages. His fees were very reasonable, and the billing was precise. He was well-versed in all the steps necessary to safeguard my interests. On the other hand, my wife selected a lawyer who was nearer to our house. She experienced overcharging, high expenses, and their lack of availability, along with their failure to file documents promptly. It's crucial to do your research; John is a commendable choice.

Within one week, I had my rights back, daughter home for the holidays, and ultimately Chelsea was able to settle out of court helping me navigate a settlement agreement, offering her input on the best ideas moving forward,which saved everyone from more stress including my child. She helped remind me of my rights when it felt like the other party was trying to take advantage of me and find the best solution in a very short amount of time.

I retained Zach as my attorney as I was in a custody battle after my divorce. I had been going it alone for about six months and although I felt I had a good case, there is always the "what if" Many factors regarding my case brought me to Zach. I had relocated to another state, had a new job, paperwork to locate and file, many things had to be addressed and considered. It was overwhelming. From the moment I made the decision to get help, I knew that Zach was the attorney to represent me. The initial conversations we had by phone were comfortable and productive. The fact that I was 1400 miles away and that I was placing my children's future and well being in someone's hands was scary at first but Zach, I felt, was the one that could get it done for me. The biggest concern I had was that I had given him less than 3 months to prepare. In that short amount of time he compiled all the documents, filed all the paperwork, conducted the interviews with the witnesses. He did that and so much more. When we entered the courtroom I was confident and WE were prepared. In court Zach was direct, to the point and was able to "paint the picture" for the Magistrate. He asked the right questions of every witness called to the stand and when the proceeding was complete there was no "what if" left in my mind. When the court made their decision and I received the call from Zach that we had won, I knew I had made the right call. I cannot express enough my gratitude, nor the respect I have for Zach. I put my trust in him and he delivered. I could not be more pleased. Sincerely, Dave

Suzanne helped me with my divorce last year. She is professional, sharp, and extremely effective. I was able to keep my retirement accounts because she pointed out that my ex and I had always kept our accounts separate from day 1 of the marriage, and that I should be able to retain my own accounts. The judge accepted this and signed off on it, and I feel safe and financially secure as a result. As contentious as divorce can be, she helped keep everything fair and civil. She is a wonderful person who wants to help. I cannot recommend her enough!

It is a pleasure to compliment the legal work that Susanne Ewy has done for me. At 92 years of age my ability to deal with Boulder (Colorado) County authorities is quite limited. When I received notice this year that my home valuation had just risen by 50% I was shocked. This meant my home real estate taxes would also rise by this same 50% amount! Boulder (Colorado) County displayed “comparable” nearby home properties that had recently sold as justification despite the significant differences in comparisons. I engaged Suzanne Ewy to help me deal with Boulder County over this gross exaggeration. She developed a plan, gathered materials, both statistical and visual, and, within the County-stated strict limitations, delivered my request for re-evaluation. She prepared, I think, about forty-five pages of information for the County. The County Assessor rejected her request for re-evaluation completely, requiring her to file an appeal and appear before the Board of Equalization. She prepared me for that virtual hearing, making sure that I could hear and understand the proceedings. Long story shortened, the BOE granted me the totality of my evaluation amount – the entire reduction of 50%. Virtually unheard of in this county. This will result in a reasonable tax amount that will have an immediate and a long-term effect on this aging citizen who has paid Boulder real estate taxes since about 1970. My many thanks and admiration for her reasoned and effective work is unbounded.

I have been a paralegal for over 20 years and have never needed counsel. After being in the profession for so long, I tend to be cynical about attorneys and their quality. Mr. McCalla completely restored my faith in the profession. He was attentive, answered all of my questions, gave me no B.S. and told me how it was. He responded to all of my messages and got me a deal I could get on my own (and I tried). I have taken several of his cards and plan on giving them to whomever needs legal assistance. If I could give him 7 stars I could. Hands down the best, most affordable, and competent attorney I have met in a very long time. You will have no regrets using his services.

I have worked with many professionals across various fields, but never in my life have I encountered someone as extraordinary as Michael Zywicki. To call him a genius in law feels like an understatement. From the moment he came on board, it became abundantly clear that this is someone operating at the highest level of legal expertise, combined with a compassion and dedication that are simply unmatched. Mike has a remarkable ability to break down even the most complex legal issues into understandable terms, making the entire process feel approachable and manageable. Patient beyond belief, he never made me feel rushed or insignificant, no matter how many questions I had or how complicated my concerns were. Every response was prompt, thorough, and reassuring, reflecting a depth of knowledge and experience that is truly rare. Mike is a force to be reckoned with in and out of the courtroom, he is relentless—an advocate and protector with an unparalleled drive to win. Whether it’s crafting a flawless legal strategy or passionately presenting the case before a judge, Mike embodies the word unstoppable. When you have him on your side, you know you have someone who will go to the mat for you, fight tooth and nail, and leave no stone unturned to achieve victory. What’s more, is his extraordinary skill and determination come with a level of integrity and fairness that is almost unheard of. The pricing was reasonable, especially compared to other law firms, that I was honestly shocked by the value of the services I received. I expected to pay significantly more for the kind of dedication, brilliance, and results he delivered—but his commitment to accessibility and client care blows me away. I can say without hesitation that I would trust Michael Zywicki with my life. After working with him, I will never look to another attorney. Michael Zywicki is not just a lawyer; he is a true advocate, a protector, a warrior, and a friend who will fight tirelessly to ensure justice prevails. Michael Zywicki is without question the best there ever was. Fierce, brilliant, compassionate, and unstoppable, he is the gold standard of legal excellence. I will forever be grateful for the life-changing services I receive!

He took the time to explain the whole process of my divorce, and answered any of my questions that came up along the way. Larry really cares about my situation and worked hard for me to get the results I was comfortable with and did it in record time (considering my situation). He was always ready to discuss my case with me, no matter what when I called, and if by some anomaly I missed his call or he missed mine, he made sure to get a hold of me within hours. Larry is very conscious of my bill and was able to get me to a good end while still keeping my budget in mind. Larry is worth every penny!

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.
