I had the pleasure of working with Earl Kavanaugh for my family law needs, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for his support and expertise. His intelligence and strategic approach to family law truly sets him apart. From our very first meeting, it was clear that he is not only a strong advocate for his clients but also deeply compassionate and understanding.
Throughout the process, Earl remained professional and level-headed, guiding me with clarity and confidence. He took the time to listen to my concerns, making sure I felt supported every step of the way. He was a strong advocate not only for the immediate legal issues at hand, but also considerate of the short- and long-term implications of the possible avenues in my case. His kindness and consideration made a world of difference during a stressful period.
I wholeheartedly recommend Earl Kavanaugh to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and caring family law attorney. His dedication to his clients is truly remarkable, and I feel fortunate to have had him by my side. I am incredibly grateful for his support and would recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance. Thank you, Earl, for all your hard work and support!

I seriously don't think I could reccomend Earl enough.
My case started in Febuary of 2022 when my child's father after years of no contact, got married and they decided they wanted to start having visitations with my daughter. I was skeptical after his inconsistency and abandonment for years prior but Earl was able to put a plan in place that not only made me comfortable, but a plan that also kept my daughter in a safe controlled environment. After that failed to happen we were able to file a motion to terminate his rights and protect my daughter from someone whom lacks pure intentions. Earl was fantastic at fighting for myself and my child. He always explained things clearly and made sure if I had questions that he would answer them. After 2 and a half years of going through the courts there were times I found myself feeling a bit anxious for what was to come. Earl stood his ground for me and was all around the best choice I could have made to ensure my daughter has the future she deserves. Thank you to Earl and team for going above and beyond and never stopping at anything to fight for your clients.

Earl is I wonderful advocate to have on your side, professional, and very detailed. I cannot express how happy we are with the outcome of our case.
Earl is the only lawyer I would trust to handle my estate.

Of the many attorneys I have worked with both professionally and personally, Kim is by far the best. She is extremely knowledgeable, conscientious and resourceful. She does what is needed to protect and defend her clients, and she does it with great finesse. Importantly, she is genuine, kind and can be relied on to keep information confidential. She is a super star in my book!

When I was served papers for joint legal custody of my son, I panicked. Bo was recommended to me by a family friend and I couldn't have been happier with my decision. Bo is very kind and upfront with people and very knowledgeable. He assisted me in not only getting a fair deal, but he fought alongside me to ensure that wasn't getting a raw deal. Thanks again Bo!

Kate was an absolute pleasure to work with. She handled all of my concerns promptly and always made herself available for conversation when issues came up. I highly recommend her if you are going through a divorce, she worked circles around my spouses so called "experienced" lawyer and she was always two steps ahead of him. At one point my spouse actually wanted to fire her lawyer and just let Kate finish out the paperwork process. She's that amazing folks.

Kate was very professional and delivered on everything she intended to. She kept me well informed throughout the process and was able to rush my divorce through in less than one week. Even though my final bill was much higher than what was estimated, I would still recommend Kate to anyone needing her services. Just budget for more than what is estimated.

No one ever wants to be placed into a situation where they need representation for a divorce, which is exactly where I found myself. I reached out to Kolby towards the busy new year weekend, but she still made time for me quickly and explained the process. My situation was further complicated being out of state, however, Kolby was very thorough, making a difficult situation as painless as possible. If you find yourself in need of a divorce attorney, I will always strongly recommend Kolby.

Kaitlin was my attorney for my divorce. She was very professional and always made sure I knew what was next or what to expect during each stage of the process. I had a lot of questions and she answered all of them promptly and provided expert consult and advice. Amazing service from a knowledgeable attorney. Divorce is never easy or fun but Kaitlin made the process as seamless as possible and truly cares about her clients wellbeing.

Erin represented me in a civil dispute with a service provider who owed me $2,000 and refused to answer my calls or return my voicemail messages for 5+ months.
First, Erin is of the highest ethical standards. He explained to me that he thought this dispute could be easily resolved outside of court and, if so, he would only charge me his hourly rate rather than the standard 1/3 of the recovery amount. Second, Erin was extremely professional. He kept me up to date with his progress as well as what my options were at each turn.
Erin was right and the dispute was resolved within a few weeks of him initially contacting the service provider. I recovered the full $2,000 and paid Erin for less than 2 hours of work which ended up saving me a lot of money. He was great to work with and I would recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney.

Words cannot describe how grateful I am for Tracy Eaton and her services. She answered and replied to each and every email, text, or phone call very promptly. She would often even answer me during non-traditional business hours. I was very anxious at times, and Tracy did a great job at easing my anxiety by constantly reminding me that she would make sure that everything would be okay. And, boy was she right. She got me exactly what I wanted and was able to avoid a long drawn out process by solving the issue through mediation. I never thought it was possible, but SHE MADE IT HAPPEN. I would not trust anyone else with any future divorce/custody issues other than Tracy Eaton. She exceeded all expectations. For sure 10 out of 10!!!!

I cannot recommend my lawyer highly enough. From the very start, his assistant

Would not recommend. They do offer flat rates, however per their website they state that payment plans are offered. These payment plans though at through a third party. So you pay the $200 upfront to talk to someone just for them to say you need X amount upfront in order to procced. Had I know that the office themselves did not offer the payment plans I would have never paid the $200 up front. So now I am out $200 and still no close to getting the help I need.

She listened, was attentive and empathetic to my situation and really had the best interest of my daughter in mind for all steps! She even got us to settle out of court which was such a blessing! I can’t say enough good things about it! (Jake is a huge bonus as well :) )

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.
