Rohom possesses knowledge, a high EQ, and a drive towards outcomes... combine that with ethics and integrity and you have the perfect attorney - and dare I say a priceless one. We were able to come to resolutions probably faster than some others in my situation, because of Rohom's ability to work well and sensibly with all parties (it certainly helped that all parties were genuinely interested in reaching a resolution). He and April are responsive and their availability matches the urgency. That my situation wasn't urgent at all and we still managed to get things resolved in a short period of time is a blessing. Rohom is a treasure - and for that I would be judicious in my recommendations as he deserves to work with mature, fair, and reasonable clients.

Me and a few coworkers went fishing on our time off and being completely unaware and mistaking one species for another we got a list of charges from FWC. After speaking with another attorney we were in a bit of a panic, hearing misdemeanor, fines possible jail. I called Attorney Sando & explained the situation. He instantly explained how he’s not a lawyer that’s gonna scare us into hiring him and knowledgeably explained all of our options and his plan of attack he explained his fee & all of us agreed to hire him. None of us are residents of Florida & we were concerned about our jobs over a mistake. I have to say, Attorney Sando is the greatest. He kept in constant contact, always returning our calls & answering our questions. He handled all of our court dates, and in the end, charges were dismissed. We may have been quick clients, but he has become a friend for life. His expertise & professionalism are truly one in a million. Thank you Drew, you are the greatest.

This past spring, my lease manager invited me to film him and his son turkey hunting for the opening day of youth season. Unbeknownst to me, he had placed his blind within the parameters of his "feed area" the night before. I met up with them before sunrise on the morning of the hunt and we entered his blind. As the sun came up, I realized where we were but did not feel comfortable stopping the hunt because he was my lease manager and I didn't want to get kicked off. FWC raided the hunting lease and arrested several hunters and one videographer (me) for being within 100 yards of bait while turkey hunting. Drew took the time to understand my position and did an awesome job helping me get these charges dropped. This was the first time I had ever been in trouble with the law and I am thankful that Drew was there to help me navigate through it.

I consulted Attorney Andrew Sando with regards to a citation I received from Florida Fish and Wildlife. Atty Sando was the only attorney I spoke with that exhibited a vast knowledge of the FWC regulations and laws, and provided an overview of how he would approach the handling of my situation. Attorney Sando listened to my situation and my desired outcome of the case. Atty Sando took the time to understand my case. He then explained his process and how he would like to move forward in handling my case. Atty Sando was available and accessible at all times. Atty Sando involvement in my case resulted in the citations being dismissed by the States Attorney office. Attorney Sando is a man of his word and does exactly what he says he will do. As a business owner myself, I am not one to recommend people in this day and time, but I have no reservations in giving my 100% recommendation to this man. He is without a doubt, a man with integrity. He listens and provides alternative solutions. If you are in need of, or looking for an attorney, Atty Sando is without a doubt a win/win.

Exceptional Divorce Lawyer – Highly Recommend! I recently worked with Douglas and Lindsey during my divorce, and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with their professionalism, expertise, and compassionate approach. From the very first consultation, they provided clear, honest guidance and made the entire process less daunting. Throughout the proceedings, they were always responsive, answering my questions promptly and keeping me updated every step of the way. They handled my case with great care, ensuring my best interests were represented, and made sure I understood my options at each stage.

We suffered damage to our roof during hurricane Ian. Make a long story short, we settled our case with the insurance company and are ready to move ahead with roof replacement. This would not have been possible without the help of Cohen Law Group, and our attorney Chris Carey and litigation assistant Erica Whitlock. Erica took the time to answer any questions and provided excellent communications throughout the process. This was my first experience with a homeowner's claim, and I really appreciated Erica's patience. Attorney Chris provided expert advice on how to move forward with the case and settled the case with the best possible outcome. What impressed me the most was the expertise that Cohen Law Group provided in terms of the litigation process and the knowledge on the roof claim itself. I fully recommend Cohen Law Group to anyone who needs help with a roof claim. I would certainly call attorney Chris for any future legal needs. Thank you so much for all your help.

I would like to take this time and share the details of my unfortunate divorce. I’m a PALM BEACH resident that went through the unfortunate experience of separating from my wife of 17 years. My first response was to go to high price attorneys in Palm Beach. After experiencing two consultations Which cost me $2000 for two hours worth of their time with two different firms they put the fear of God in me. Completely rattled I took a step back and went online and found Mayersohn LAW GROUP. Within the hour, Leah Mayersohn ESQ had returned my call, listened to my story was completely positive and uplifting from the very beginning. Leah assured me that the team she would assemble for me will do everything they can to get me through this process as painlessly with minimal amount of cost and take me through this process from the moment I signed up to the day the divorce was finalized. My lead divorce attorney, DENISE GENTILE Was not only thorough in her work, everything from paperwork to returning phone calls to telling me the breath deeply when I became overwhelmed at times more often than not the compassion was real and undeniable the team consisted of Deborah Gordash, Who was my paralegal. JOHN who uploaded thousands of documents for me Lulu who schedule appointments and took care of our Zoom calls, conference calls , to much to mention. The bottom line is, I can’t say enough about the firm. They were supportive, understanding, compassionate, and finalize my divorce within months. In this day and age it’s rare to fine a company as professional as the Mayersohn Law Group where profits aren’t the bottom line.

After vacating my unit and leaving the premises in impeccable condition, the landlord had decided not to follow the statue and not return my security deposit. With the help of Arthur Vincent I was able to receive my full security deposit and legal fees. Mr. Vincent was a reassuring presence throughout the legal proceedings and made sure that the law was followed. Based on my experience, I would certainly recommend Vincent Law to others who may need legal assistance in similar matters. It is always reassuring to have an experienced and knowledgeable lawyer on your side, and Mr. Vincent was that lawyer.

I recently finished a highly contested, complicated divorce, involving children and money. I was represented by Attorney Bryan Hesser throughout the process. My opinion of Attorney Hesser is as follows: he is an impeccable professional who promptly, meticulously and thoughtfully responds to all of his clients’ thoughts and concerns, who constantly thinks ahead to the next strategic steps involved, and who has the confidence and mastery of work to handle any level of divorce difficulty. In the end, I got to keep my kids according to the time sharing plan I had asked for and I received an alimony judgement which I thought was quite reasonable. I credit Attorney Hesser in coming up with persuasive arguments for both of these outcomes. In particular, the alimony argument was solely his. The entire Liebenhaut Hesser firm was very professional, from my first phone call reaching out to them. I’d like to thank them as a whole, including Attorney Austin Mutnansky who assisted with my case and the two paralegals involved. I give my absolute highest possible recommendation to Attorney Bryan Hesser and the Liebenhaut Hesser firm. They are the best possible representation one can ask for in divorce. Despite this being a difficult period in my life I will always have fond memories of them.

For family law, I could not imagine a better choice. I've had this black cloud hanging over me for 15+ years regarding custody and child support, and I was honestly dreading this legal process. Austin and all of the great people at Liebenhaut did a great job of making me feel comfortable with the process and helped me to understand and simplify each step along the way. I originally chose a different attorney due to financial reasons but quickly found out you get what you pay for when it comes to family law attorneys. I did consultations with multiple family law firms but Austin and his team stood out from the rest from the very beginning. I should have trusted my gut from the start. Don't mess around with your choice of legal teams to save money if you can help it. Liebenhaut was worth every penny.

I cannot express enough gratitude for Tim Hessinger and the life-changing work he did for me. Facing the possibility of 30 years in prison was the most terrifying experience of my life, but Tim’s skill, dedication, and unwavering belief in my case made all the difference. From the very first meeting, Tim put me at ease with his extensive legal knowledge and confident demeanor. He took the time to understand every detail of my case, meticulously prepared my defense, and tirelessly fought for me every step of the way. His ability to analyze complex situations, find weaknesses in the opposition's arguments, and present a compelling case was truly remarkable. Thanks to Tim’s hard work and brilliant strategy, I am free today and able to rebuild my life. He didn’t just save me from an unjust sentence; he gave me hope when I needed it most. If you are in need of an attorney who will fight for you like your life depends on it, Tim Hessinger is the one you want in your corner. His dedication, compassion, and expertise are unmatched. I owe him everything and will forever be grateful for his incredible representation

This review is long overdue. I was very overwhelmed with the case and wanted to shut it out completely afterwards. After having consultations with a few different attorneys, one who was very demeaning and one who wanted to take advantage of the situation monetarily, I was feeling distressed. I remember the evening that I called Tim. It was after business hours but he picked up my call and truly listened. He gave me the feeling that my gut was looking for, a sense of calm and that it will all be taken care of. Tim was courteous, easy to work with and followed-up frequently, answering my questions and requests. I'm so glad and very grateful that it was Tim, as it all worked out. Thank you so much, Tim.

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.
