My alimony from my divorce settlement was nearly $2000 dollars a month. When I retired I was unable to pay that amount without draining my retirement funds. Michael put into motion through the courts and mediation my situation and using his prowess of the legal system successfully eliminated my alimony, yayyyy!!! The office staff was very efficient and communicated constantly updating me on court dates and times.
I had a very successful experience with Michael Cutler and strongly endorse his legal services.

Mr. Cutler is very professional and proficient. I always had full trust on him and was not disappointed throughout the process of my divorce, which could have been longer and more complicated and could have more severely affected my children and myself. I give my full and unreserved recommendation for his legal representation to anyone who is facing divorce.

Merrill Gordon was a great help to us. After being exhausted by a stressful dispute with our insurance company, Merrill's representation resulted in a very favorable resolution for us and we will always be appreciative of his efforts in this matter. If ever the unfortunate circumstance arose, we wouldn't hesitate to seek his representation again.

I have obtained services from many attorneys in my life, but I have yet to find one that can match his responsiveness. You won't wait weeks, days, or even hours for an answer. Having immediate feedback during delicate situations eases the anxiety one feels when dealing with the court system.

Merrill Gordon is an excellent attorney who truly goes above and beyond for his clients. He represented me in my divorce and later for parenting time issues. Merrill is professional, patient, thorough, and prompt to answer all questions and concerns. I really appreciated Merrill's no-nonsense style, he will tell you like it is and work hard to get you the results you want. I'm thankful for his representation and highly recommend for all family law matters!

I have no words to thank the lawyer Moses and his highly capable, responsible and empathetic work team. As many people know, the asylum case process is quite stressful and complicated, but thanks to the lawyer and his team the experience was much easier and fast, my case was satisfactorily approved and without a doubt I will continue to hire the lawyer for the next steps.
Infinitely grateful with the Lawyer Moses El-sayed.

Moses and his team made the whole process extremely smooth and easy from day 1. The immigration process is extremely stressful and thankfully, Moses eased all our worries constantly. He is detail oriented and made sure every aspect of our application was perfect. He kept us updated on all status changes and directed us perfectly. On top of doing his job as a lawyer perfectly, he was emotionally supportive and kept us calm when the stress of the immigration process got to us. I couldn’t have imagined a better lawyer or better team to get us through this process! He got my husband to arrive in America as fast as possible, and we are eternally grateful.

Parvine is the best! Absolutely, hands down, bar none! I was being railroaded with a criminal matter and a friend referred me to her. She took the time to speak with me constantly and put my mind at ease. I walked away with nothing more than fines and a small probation. It’s all been said and done for a while, but we still talk on a regular basis. She calls just to say hello and just talk with me about anything. I love this woman and how good of a person she is.

I am very pleased to have had Mike in my corner. I felt as if my big brother was defending me from a school yard bully. Needless to say, it was nearly like that. He made sure I and my son got the fairest treatment and saw the issue through. He is a great attorney and a good friend. Thank you Mike! I'm glad I know you.

I came to Elizabeth 3 years ago with a pile of paperwork, a lot of stories and a drug addict mother of my son.
After looking through my very unorganized evidence of what’s been going on for a few years, she explained to me that I have a case. She said with honesty that this is a very “different” case considering the drugs, alcohol, mental instability, etc and being able to prove all of this.
She admitted that this kind of case is more rare than others but she would study all areas of everything going on in my case and represent me to the best of her ability.
Now fast forward 3 years, tons of court dates in front of our referee and judge, a 2 day trial and even more court dates in front of our judge, post trial. I now have full custody of my son. He is out of harms way and is the happiest he’s ever been.
Elizabeth went above and beyond. She accepted all my calls, she called me regarding issues and has fully been just as involved in every aspect of this case as I have been (which is ALOT). She has completly took it upon herself to further her education regarding the very “different” aspects of my case such as drugs, how the mom is beating drug tests while still being high, different affects from different drugs and alcohol, getting medical records showing the mental instability and much much more. NOT TO MENTION, I AM A DAD. We all know courts can be a little biased towards fathers.
Thanks to Elizabeth Silverman, my son is safe and happy. It’s been a extremely long road but Elizabeth has been here for me every step of the way. Not only as my lawyer but as my advisor and even sometimes my therapist. All while seeming like a good friend.
I would also like to add, Elizabeth only hires the best Paralegals there is in the state of Michigan. I could not write this post without saying how great they all are but especially Gina. Gina has been here for me for so much and was always just a call away to talk me through my troubles and help with anything I needed.
If you want a great lawyer, with a equally great team behind her, to fight for you, Elizabeth Silverman is number one. I’ll stand by that until the day I die.
Respectfully submitted,
A very well represented father

Dear Elizabeth,
It was my pleasure to have you as my lawyer and my counselor during my divorce trial. Having some ideas that divorce is very painful procedure, yet I could not even imagine that a person whom I considered my best friend and the most closed person (my ex-wife) turned into the bitterest enemy.
Your professionalism, your excellent knowledge of judicial system helped me tremendously during the divorce trial. What impressed me, that you pay your attention to big issues, as well as to little or even tiny problems. It is your big role in Macomb County Court’s decision to award me not only with joint legal custody, but also with joint physical custody. (Later I found out that it is not often for men in Michigan to be awarded with joint physical custody.)
Based on my experience, I can advise to person who is going to get divorce, try to avoid it. If there is no way to avoid divorce, then talk to your spouse, try to solve problem peacefully.
But if it doesn’t work, I really can recommend person, who is facing divorce, use service of my lawyer Elizabeth Silverman. Elizabeth will do her best to get the very satisfactory (at least) results for her client.
I really appreciate your huge help to me during the divorce trial and after divorce was finalized.
Respectfully,
Felix.

Elizabeth Silverman is my attorney for longer than ten years. Instead of boasting empty promises, she advocates for honesty and fairness; both hard to argue against. In court, she is magnificent. Elizabeth is determined to win your case by working with the judge and his court. Judges appreciate, that Elizabeth offers the root cause of her case to the court in simple but very effective terms, which saves time. She is the attorney you really want on your side. Elizabeth is very intelligent, caring and professional on every level. In particular, she feels the greatest pain and compassion for the real victims of every divorce, our children. She offers counseling for them as part of the divorce. Her rates are fair, but Elizabeth and Sandy deliver much more bang for your buck than most attorneys who charge the same. You can tell, I am very satisfied and I know you will be too. Elizabeth Silverman is a great attorney and her law firm has never let me down.

I had the pleasure of having Mr. Mike Williams represent us at the most difficult time of our lives.
We were scammed by a Debt Service and ended in us having to file Chapter 13. We were refered to him, by our future son-in-law. He said that Mike will help us out. At our lowest point our vehicle was repossed and were going after our other assets. Mike made arrangements to see us the following day. Within days our vehicle was in our possession. He also stopped the creditors from coming after our other assets.
His kindness and concern towards our situation is something we will never forget.
Mike has helped us in other areas to help us get some justice and closure for our future. I can't count the times he called checking on us to assure us that we will be alright and get through this.
You will never know the comfort and appreciation for all that he has done for us. They say people come into your life for a reason. I thank God he was there for us.

We cannot say how thankful we were that we found Mike and his firm. We had a serious situation that we needed an experts help with and we found the Williams Law Firm. From the start to the finish they provided such personal attention to us and our situation we couldn't have asked or expected more. If you find yourself in a situation where you need help we would highly recommend calling Mike and his team.

Laura handles herself extremely well in and out of the courtroom. She is very well respected among her peers and the professionals associated with the court. Even the Friend of the Court doctor said to me “That Mrs. Anderson is one heck of a lawyer” after coming out of a courtroom win. My kids were in a bad situation, Laura went above and beyond to get them out of it. Navigating through the muck thrown in a custody battle, getting the judge and the magistrates to focus on the real problems. She is very personal and upfront with everyone involved. I have been to court more often that I would like to admit and having Laura by my side put me at ease when walking into the courtroom, where I was so nervous and apprehensive before. She succeeded where my previous lawyer did not. A great person and a great lawyer.

Working with Laura was the best experience I have ever had during a very stressful time in my life. Laura was available to talk, answer questions and give advice in a very timely manner. Laura had myself and my kids best interest in mind, I never felt like I was just another client or dollar sign.
Laura made me feel as if I was a family member while fighting hard for me. Laura's knowledge as an attorney was astounding. Prior to getting in touch with Laura I had shopped around and met with other attorneys, no one compared to Laura. In the beginning of the process I was terrified and full of questions, Laura eased my mind with the amount of knowledge and recommendations she had.
If you are looking for an attorney that will fight for you, show empathy, and look out for your best interest, I would highly recommend hiring Laura to have on your side.
Thank you Laura for everything you have done for my kids and I, we are better off and everything is panning out perfectly.

Wow! Lou was an excellent attorney who handled my divorce with expertise. He kept me from worrying about the little things and focused on the bigger picture - divorce. He took time to review the case and when I would talk to him, he remembered exactly what I was talking about. He told me he would do his best to work within the retainer and he accomplished this. When the case was over i didn't owe any additional money but, i felt compelled to give him a tip since he did such an excellent job. I feel I received an excellent judgement with my divorce and have no regrets. What Lou promised me, he delivered, better than my expectations. If you are reading this, this is definitely the attorney to hire. You can even ask me questions.

Words cannot explain what a great Lawyer Amanda Paletz makes or what a great person she is. This world is truly a better place with defense attorneys such as Amanda defending the innocent. She is so unbelievable and personable with all the time and hard work she put into my case. I also thank her family for being so understanding while she worked around the clock, on holidays and yes even weekends. I cannot thank her enough or will she ever know how grateful my family and myself are to have had her in my corner fighting for me. I look up to her so much having tremendous respect for her. It brings tears of joy to my family and I how she defended me, believed in me and trusted me. Raymond Cassar Law firm and all of his hard working staff are top notch and one of a kind! They make you feel like family. Thank you again and I am so thankful to everyone that prayed for me and helped me out, for being a shoulder to lean on and just there to listen.

As a father it is hard to receive rights in Michigan. It's even harder when your a father living out of state trying to have rights to your child living in Michigan. The process is hard to do from a different state. If it wasn't for Carmen Moyers being my attorney, I don't think I could have done this. She has helped me from day one and puts the needs of her clients first. She doesn't do it because it's her job, she does this because of the people she is helping and you can definitely see that in the work she does for her clients. Carmen has gone above and beyond what other attorneys I have dealt with did in the past and I am very thankful to have her on my side. She isn't afraid to stand up for her clients. Carmen's experience as an attorney shows in her knowledge of the law, delivery in court, passion for her job and persistence in seeking justice for her clients. I am speaking from personal experience working with her and would highly recommend Carmen to anyone.

I made an appointment with Mr. Rubinstein during a very challenging time. From our first meeting he was professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring. He agreed without hesitation to help me fight the injustice I was facing. He was always available to answer my questions and address my concerns with clarity and patience explaining everything in terms I could understand. His fee is reasonable, something I greatly appreciated. I am confident new clients to this firm would have the same positive experience that I did and therefore I highly recommend him and his staff to resolve any legal issues you may be facing.

He is considerate and it was very apparent he worked hard and dug deep to ensure the best outcome. I highly recommend working with this law office if you are facing difficulty with workmen's comp. All the paperwork and correspondence is not overwhelming. You will be heard as a human and treated kindly. I am very grateful for all the hard work.

My husband and I sought help for his worker’s compensation case after dealing with a career ending, on the job injury, for nearly 3 years without resolution; even after enduring every single demand they requested of him, both pre and post surgery. Several attorneys had informed us they believed best case scenario would be for him to take social security disability, that is, until we met Alex. Alex was compassionate, understanding and really took the time to listen to our extremely complex case; a case we were told was completely different than 98% of the cases he’s done in his 40 years of experience. While both Alex and my husband had hoped for a larger, more accommodating settlement from a well known municipality, we were pleased with the outcome, our ability to move forward with our lives and starting the journey for a new career, for my husband. Alex is a man who genuinely cares about his clients and their best interests, all while being honest, kind and upfront. His paralegal, Caitlin, was also exceptional relaying messages, answering questions, gathering sensitive information and doing it all with an overwhelming sense of kindness. We would highly recommend Alex and his team to anyone dealing workers compensation and the terrible stressors that can ensue. We could never properly express our gratitude for this law firm and its staff, who we now consider family; without all of you, we would still be spinning our wheels in neutral. An infinite amount of thank yous from the bottom of our hearts. God Bless you all,

Due to the powers at be i can not leave a negative start, this guy does not deserve one at all. I have not been a client but from the horror story i heard from my sister in law I do not want this lazy man representing me in a traffic matter. Tragedy struck my sister in law about a year and a half ago. After the claim was settled it seemed mr Kelly did not do the following up a lawyer should do, things where misappropriated left out and disregarded on her personal property that left out thousands of dollars of things that should have been recovered, this is very costly to a client in matters like this the insurance company already depreciates a lot of your items to the lowest price possible. When descriptions and items are incorrectly put in the inventory list makes it very difficult on receiving the correct amount of funds a client should receive to a life changing event to someones living situation, no-one is ever made whole by an insurance company a good lawyer recovers as much as the policy limit allows. And from the experience of my sister in law this was done and when trying to correct this issue mr Kelly ignored her put her on back burner and flat out not responsive. If this is the actions of a good lawyer mr Kelly is your man but in my opinion he needs to be more in touch with clients through out the whole claim process.

Due to the powers at be i can not leave a negative start, this guy does not deserve one at all. I have not been a client but from the horror story i heard from my sister in law I do not want this lazy man representing me in a traffic matter. Tragedy struck my sister in law about a year and a half ago. After the claim was settled it seemed mr Kelly did not do the following up a lawyer should do, things where misappropriated left out and disregarded on her personal property that left out thousands of dollars of things that should have been recovered, this is very costly to a client in matters like this the insurance company already depreciates a lot of your items to the lowest price possible. When descriptions and items are incorrectly put in the inventory list makes it very difficult on receiving the correct amount of funds a client should receive to a life changing event to someones living situation, no-one is ever made whole by an insurance company a good lawyer recovers as much as the policy limit allows. And from the experience of my sister in law this was done and when trying to correct this issue mr Kelly ignored her put her on back burner and flat out not responsive. If this is the actions of a good lawyer mr Kelly is your man but in my opinion he needs to be more in touch with clients through out the whole claim process.

The best lawyer experience I had in a very long time.. I found this law firm threw google and this time I filtered star reviews… the star review system really works… the real question is “how can everyone say the same thing and the answer isn’t correct…” Their price is excellent, thier service is complete, and their genuineness is real.. tough times going threw any divorce but having support really helps get you threw the process… i consider Ash & Ash, friends rather than lawyers… thanks guys and continue helping those that need help…

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.
