Quiero recomendar al Abogado Ángel Leal y su grupo de trabajo por hacer una maravillosa gestión en mi proceso migratorio, ya que fui víctima de estafa por otro grupo de abogados, el cual me hicieron perder mi estatus legal aquí dentro de los EEUU, con un alto índice de probabilidades de que fuera deportado, pero gracias a Ángel y su equipo tan profesional pudieron solventar mi situación y lograron regresarme mi estatus demostrando que realmente fui víctima. De verdad lo recomiendo como uno de los mejores abogados que puede haber.

My mother had a separate guardianship case handled by Melissa Dacunha. I was dealing with a related probate case but I was not a client of Melissa. The escrow title attorney made a request within two weeks of the closing of the estate sale. Melissa changed her schedule to accommodate my mother and I by filing a petition with the guardianship court in one business day. Thanks to Melissa everything was handled and the court rendered their decision with time to spare at closing. I highly recommend Melissa's law firm to friends, family, and anyone else in need of a quality attorney. thank you.

As a Venezuelan migrant mom, I can say that having a lawyer like Annalie is a blessing. In my case, I was seeking to establish visitation and child support for my daughter, and it has been a very long and slow process, especially because everything has been post-pandemic. Annalie has always treated us very well with kindness, empathy, and a great commitment to ethics. Thank you, Annalie, for accompanying me and my family in this uncomfortable but necessary process. I highly recommend her because she is also a family-oriented mother who puts God and children first. //Como mamá venezolana migrante puedo decir que contar con una abogada como Annalie es una bendición. En mi caso buscaba establecer las visitas y child support para ml hija y ha sido un proceso muy largo, lento, también porque todo ha sido post pandemia y Annalie siempre nos ha atendido muy bien con amabilidad, empatía y gran compromiso y ética. Gracias Annalie por acompañarnos a mi y a mi flia en este proceso o incómodo pero necesario. 100% recomendada porque también es una madre de flia que pone a Dios y a los niños en primer lugar.

I strongly recommend Thomas Willis as your attorney. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable. Through this difficult time he was able to help me and make sure that at the end of this journey I was going to be fine. No divorce is easy but he made sure to make it as smooth as possible. Every time I contacted him or his Paralegal they were always available for all my questions and concerns.

Mr. Willis was very professional and knowledgeable since the initial consultation, he explained all the details of the loan modification and even gave me alternative options in case I did not qualify.
His secretary Jessica is AMAZING!, she was always on top of everything since day one following up on all the information my bank requested and making sure the deadlines were met. Mr. Willis and Jessica made the whole process very smooth and in 7 months the loan modification was approved!
I cannot thank them enough for making everything possible and in a short period of time!! I highly recommend them!!

Mr. Willis is very professional and cares about his clients well-being. Jessica is excellent at what she does, she is very understanding and kept me inform of my case every step of the way. I highly recommend them to everyone.

Raquel is a caring, compassionate, knowledgeable lawyer. We have used her for several legal documents and to evict a bad tenant. Her office is quick to respond, communicative and she knows her field well. I whole heartedly trust Raquel. She is upfront, efficient and handles herself well in different legal scenarios. She’s brilliant. It’s very challenging finding a good lawyer in Miami. She’s truly special.

I hired her for $ 2500 at 3 weeks I had not sent the documents to my husband and he found out from the letters of the lawyers that they sent him by mail on the fourth week it was that they were done when he already knew , I always had to call about my case because they never called me, they told me that they had sent the motion to court and I realized that it was a lie when I went to the office and they did it in front of me at last after 6 months the hearing arrived A few days ago he told me that if I wanted to, he would represent me at the hearing that I had to give him $ 2000 more. Draw your own conclusions that Janet Gorguis is so professional. I do not recommend it to anyone women

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.
