I originally booked a consultation last year with Pervaiz to discuss my options since I was going through divorce. I didn't have enough info for her during my 1 hour consultation so she cut my session short. So I ended up having a credit for 150$ from the 300$ hour consultation. After I finalized my divorce amicably with my ex, I decided to reach out to schedule a consultation to write a Will. No Money was collected for this appointment, I just reminded them I had the credit still in my account and they confirmed. I called and emailed the day of my appointment to let them know I had a 103 fever and that I was very sick and I am not able to discuss anything related to a "Will". I mean how could you? With a high fever!! This is a serious topic and you need you full brain capacity to do so!! Pervaiz refused to reschedule my appointment and they told me if I do not call at my appointment time that they will not allow me to reschedule. I was diagnosed with the flu and pneumonia and they can clearly tell I am not making my sickness up from the way I was coughing. I offered to send a doctor's note however she just decided to take the credit I have left with them instead of being empathetic with my situation! This clearly shows you that she doesn't care about people! And she just knew I had a credit and took it! Sickness happens and this unpredictable. I will not recommend her to anyone especially after what happened to me!

Sarah Knapp and the Shounbach team were truly pivotal in guiding me through my divorce. Sarah is not only a highly skilled attorney but also incredibly kind, patient, and calm—qualities that make all the difference during such a difficult time. I always felt supported and knew she was advocating for my best interests every step of the way. Divorce is messy, emotional, and overwhelming, but having an attorney like Sarah in your corner brings a sense of clarity and peace. I can't recommend her enough.

Steven and his assistant Julia were and are the perfect professionals with the patience and expertise and experience to guide me through my first and hopefully last divorce. I was and am probably their most disorganized client ever and after a 30 relationship ended at total wreck. But there is light at the end of the tunnel and not only did they get me through the darkness but where and still are my most trusted councilors. It’s a tough process and they provide sound advice with positive results. It’s difficult to feel good but they helped to at least make me more financially stable and make sense of the legal process and still be there as this process and period comes to a conclusion and a new period begins. I’m more the wiser and better educated because of them. I highly recommend them.

Jason Weis represented me in a post-divorce matter to look at spousal support. This case was a bit more complicated and required hiring a couple experts and Jason was awesome throughout everything. The experts he suggested were excellent and really helped our case. He and his whole team were extremely detail oriented, kind and polite to deal with (which makes a HUGE difference to me), and were really thinking about every angle and aspect to make sure we presented the best possible case. In court, I was blown away. It was clear throughout our 3 days in court that he was the better attorney, made sure all our evidence was presented and we got everything in that we thought was important, and always kept a calm and focused demeanor. The case ended up better than I ever could have imagined and am SO thankful that I was able to find Jason. Jenny, his paralegal, was also great to work with and helped make sure all documents were provided, didn't miss anything, and kept everything for this whole case extremely organized. Can't recommend Jason Weis and his team any more highly!!

Even though I wasn’t a paying client, they were incredibly generous with their time and knowledge, offering valuable information over the phone. They went above and beyond, and offered to visit my friend in the hospital to discuss the matter personally.   The customer service was outstanding, and I wholeheartedly recommend contacting them if you ever find yourself facing a legal issue.

Over the years I met with a few different attorneys for this matter, but did not feel comfortable with any of them until I met with Mariah for my consultation with Livesay & Myers. I’m so glad I decided to go through with the legal proceedings and am very happy with the representation that I had. Very personable, knowledgeable, and worthwhile.

When I say Mr. Simms is a phenomenal attorney, I mean that in every sense of the word, phenomenal. He is truly dedicated to his work, and he stops at nothing to obtain the best possibly outcome. I was charged with a petit larceny charge that could have ruined my entire life and that of my family as well as my career. Mr. Simms made a 4 hour trip to represent me, and was able to get me a dismissal! If you want a knowledgeable, kind, hardworking attorney, and an attorney that strives to get a dismissal or not guilty verdict, then Mr. Simms is the attorney you need. He won’t disappoint! Thank you Mr. Simms for not only representing me, but for making the drive to represent me, and for not settling for anything less than a dismissal, and that’s exactly what you got for me. I will be eternally grateful for your devotion to my case, and for getting me the verdict of dismissal. I owe you my life for what you did. Thank you sir for representing me! You’re simply phenomenal in every sense of the word, and your kindness will never be forgotten!

I was in court today with Mr. Hasan, and he represented me in my motion for visitation modification and a rule to show cause for failure to pay child support-and we won! I have known Mr. Hasan since 2019, and he has represented me several times over the years for child support, divorce, and custody agreements. Every time, with Mr. Hasan by my side, I have attained the results I desired. Mr. Hasan is not only extremely competent and prepared but also very aggressive in the representation of his clients in court. His sharpness in legal matters, work ethic, and determination are incomparable. Apart from his professionalism, Mr. Hasan is kind, considerate, and treats you like family. He truly takes the time to understand your situation and fights passionately to ensure justice is served. If you are seeking a lawyer who will go above and beyond for you, I cannot recommend Mr. Hasan highly enough. He has been an absolute great advocate for me, for which I am very grateful.

Steven and his assistant Julia were and are the perfect professionals with the patience and expertise and experience to guide me through my first and hopefully last divorce. I was and am probably their most disorganized client ever and after a 30 relationship ended at total wreck. But there is light at the end of the tunnel and not only did they get me through the darkness but where and still are my most trusted councilors. It’s a tough process and they provide sound advice with positive results. It’s difficult to feel good but they helped to at least make me more financially stable and make sense of the legal process and still be there as this process and period comes to a conclusion and a new period begins. I’m more the wiser and better educated because of them. I highly recommend them.

Jason Weis represented me in a post-divorce matter to look at spousal support. This case was a bit more complicated and required hiring a couple experts and Jason was awesome throughout everything. The experts he suggested were excellent and really helped our case. He and his whole team were extremely detail oriented, kind and polite to deal with (which makes a HUGE difference to me), and were really thinking about every angle and aspect to make sure we presented the best possible case. In court, I was blown away. It was clear throughout our 3 days in court that he was the better attorney, made sure all our evidence was presented and we got everything in that we thought was important, and always kept a calm and focused demeanor. The case ended up better than I ever could have imagined and am SO thankful that I was able to find Jason. Jenny, his paralegal, was also great to work with and helped make sure all documents were provided, didn't miss anything, and kept everything for this whole case extremely organized. Can't recommend Jason Weis and his team any more highly!!

Sarah is not only a highly skilled attorney but also incredibly kind, patient, and calm—qualities that make all the difference during such a difficult time. I always felt supported and knew she was advocating for my best interests every step of the way. Divorce is messy, emotional, and overwhelming, but having an attorney like Sarah in your corner brings a sense of clarity and peace. I can't recommend her enough.

Awful. I turned to DiPietro when i had a court date and had little time. They charged me over $40,000 to prepare for the case. I asked several times to speak to someone and never received a call from anyone other than the lawyer they assigned me. Now he has left the practice and they are refusing to contact me about my case. I have asked for files and whatever can be provided without a response. This is after me waiting weeks for them to contact me regarding a path forward as they had told me they would do via an email.

I didnt have any experience working with lawyers so I wasn't sure if he's screwing up or not until it was the hearing date. It was a big mistake that I hired him. i Wouldn't recommend this lawyer to anyone.

I had the pleasure of working with Miss Chim from Safi, Duran, and Chim LLC for my uncontested divorce, and I highly recommend her. Despite my narcissistic and controlling ex-husband trying to handle everything on his own, I knew I needed professional support. Miss Chim was decisive, thorough, and ensured my rights were protected throughout the process, even when faced with challenges. My 'small win' was simply taking the step to file for divorce, and Miss Chim played a crucial role in making that happen. I now wish I had followed her initial suggestion to pursue a contested divorce, but I always felt confident she would fight for me. If you need a lawyer who is clear, direct, and will stand firm on your behalf, I highly recommend Miss Chim and her team.

I cannot say enough good things about Jason and his paralegal Jennifer.   I have had a protracted case with Jason going on 6 years now.  I'm grateful I have him in my corner.   Jason is an expert in this field of law and his command of the subject matter is unquestionable.  His advice is always wise and on point.  He's reasonable, fair, and interested in finding the best overall solution (for all parties).  He is also not afraid to tell you like it is when you need to hear it.   He has saved me from myself on multiple occasions.   He's clear, articulate, and efficient in the court room.  He has a knack for cutting thru the minutia and homing in on the critical issues and what's necessary and prudent to argue them.  And when he gets on a roll, it is amazing to watch, as stated I'm glad he's in my corner!   Jason's fees are reasonable.  And it is clear he has my best interests at the forefront and never once has taken any action that could remotely be construed as having his bottom line in mind. No one wants to need to retain an attorney for such an extended duration but I can honestly say I consider him a friend! Jennifer is thoughtful, thorough, and meticulous while being  accommodating and understanding at the same time.  She is always willing to get it done, and is not afraid to hold the client accountable to deadlines ensuring she and Jason can best represent me.  She's spent many a night and weekend on my case and told me when I needed to work the weekend too!  And like Jason it is unquestionably clear she's got my best interests at heart.   She and Jason make a great team!  I couldn't recommend them enough to anyone that needed them!  You would be in good hands.

Jason A. Weis is the perfect pick! If you are someone who is going through a contentious child support/divorce and need a top notch lawyer on your side then look no further. I was lucky to have Jason Weis representing me. Jason, has the ability to assess any difficult situation and provide honest and thorough advice within the scope of the law that is beneficial to the client. Mr. Weis effortlessly navigated through the minefields that my ex-wife and opposing counsel attempted to lay out. Jason was able to understand the intricacies of my case and responded with a strategic yet realistic action plan that awarded me the outcome my daughter and I needed. I admire Mr. Weis’s calm, professional and eloquent demeanor. He did not wavier to the baseless threats or irate behavior of opposing council but rather took charge and spoke only based on facts. I truly believe it was Mr. Weis’s professionalism, knowledge, patience and most importantly his virtuous heart that got me through this challenging time. I am eternally grateful and would recommend Mr. Weis to anyone who is seeking assistant with divorce/child support/custody.

When we needed to learn how to manage our sister's anticipated inheritance, it didn't take long to settle on the Farr Law Firm for advice. Their reputation as the experts in elder law and estate planning preceded them. After a thorough review of our situation, they revised my mother's revocable living trust and prepared a Special Needs Trust for my sister. There was some urgency as my mother was nearing 100 years of age. Thanks to their knowledge and depth of experience they were able to complete the work in a matter of days. Trusts are complicated and in the course of administering them, I've had numerous questions for Mr. Farr or a member of his staff. Without fail, responses are clear, comprehensive and delivered without delay. Working with Farr, I know I can count on things being done correctly and to our best advantage - and that adds up to great peace of mind.

We much appreciated Evan's help in navigating the complex and stressful process of setting up our legal documents. We also appreciate Sara Entis' efforts to finalize this colossal task and to make the important signing appointment totally flawless.

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.
