I was lucky enough to meet Jeff Robinson during one of the worst times of our lives. My son was involved in a road rage incident where he unfortunately got in trouble for simply trying to protect himself. Jeff came into our lives, never judged, held our hand every step of the way, and made sure my son was treated right! A simple mistake that could've cost our son a future that he would suffer from indefinitely ended up turning into a positive outcome and a valuable lesson learned. Jeff is not only professional and courteous but he is compassionate and passionate. His work ethic is second to none and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need. Our family will forever be grateful to Jeff.

Scott Levine came to my rescue in my divorce case. After being mistreated by another attorney, Scott stepped in and worked magic! Scott is so knowledgeable about family law and took tons of time to carefully review and explain all the details about the divorce process. He answered all of my questions and made me feel comfortable in all aspects of my case. His work ethic is impeccable and he performed with great diligence and efficiency on my case. Cannot thank Scott enough!!

I had a difficult case. A true not me case. Because there was no arrest or fingerprints it was very hard to prove it wasn't me. I discovered I had a warrant for my arrest when I applied for an apartment and they did a background check. I talked to him after researching for a couple weeks. He gave me more information in a 20 minute conversation than I could find in 2 weeks of research, before I even hired him. He did way more than originally thought necessary. His diligence, wisdom, knowledge, years of experience & research that left no stone unturned, eventually cleared my name. He also insisted the warrant be lifted while clearing up this huge mess. I could go through the process feeling safe w/o fear of going to jail. He actually did way more than what I originally hired him for. He didn't charge me more even with me asking about it. Scott Levine is amazing! All that experience, wisdom, knowledge, connections, diligence and tenacity, yet still generous at heart. I would hire him for ANY & ALL legal matters! Scott Levine would be a great deal at twice the price! Your in good care with Scott & can trust Scott Levine implicitly!

I thought I was going to be railroaded until I got Mark as my attorney. So if you want a straight forward, honest, and reasonable lawyer to get the job done with a divorce case for you to walk out as the victor in the final judgment ruling then Mark your guy! So I highly recommend him and his team!

I can tell you for sure that my case was about as intensely complicated as it was an international divorce with a young child involved. Mark and his team burned the midnight oil to do all of the research and find absolute facts....and nothing but facts and case precendent. If you don't hire him you are missing out on the best attorney in Florida. I am blown away by him.

Tara is bar none the best attorney I have ever worked with. She is tenacious like a bull dog! I' not going to go into the specifics of my case, but I will say she gave me a great payment plan and when she concluded the case far quicker than all expectations she even cancelled the last payment owed! I can not say enough about how I appreciate her.

I was recommend to use Bob Stok from another attorney in the small town I live in and very thankful that I did. Bob was attentive, on a personal level, responsive to my needs and very efficient. He was also very persuasive with the judge. I felt a mutual respect between Bob and the judge and that put me at ease. I had jury trial and won! The decision to have Bob represent me is one of the best decision I ever made. With that being said, I will sing his praises to anyone looking for the best attorney's I have ever seen in action.

John Pittarelli was recommended to me by a friend. Best recommendation I’ve been given in 10 years! John is sharp in the courtroom, has high attention to detail — very attentive and knowledgeable. He was able to help me navigate through my court proceedings with ease and with understanding. John had an arsenal of information and resources as I moved through the process of my court proceedings which made my court process very easy and my transition as a result of my disposition was beyond satisfactory. If you’re looking for an attorney that knows how to get the job done, John Pittarelli is definitely the attorney for you. He’s highly respected and knowledgeable in his field and he has great rapport with his clients. Absolutely recommend!

I first hired John to help with my divorce in 2012. Honestly did not think I would need him again. Fast-forward to 2020 and I found myself in a custody battle for my son. John has been the level head needed when I was too frustrated with my ex to see straight. He fights for what is right, which is not always what is easy. Win or lose, he felt every judgement just as much as I did. He coached me along the way and I am more knowledgeable now then I was at the beginning. We had mediation back in October, which I thought would be the end of our relationship, and he would just move onto other clients. However, he still calls to check up on us and wants to see how the child is doing. He seems to care more for my child than his biological father does, which makes trusting him with decisions so much easier. John truly wants what is best for the child and will fight for that.

I'm a real estate broker and met Leslie at a networking event. What started off as me performing a valuation for one of her divorce clients has blossomed into me referring a ton of business to her firm for real estate closings. Leslie, her partner and their staff treat every client with tremendous care and respect. They most certainly go the extra mile any and every time needed. She's thorough and resourceful as well as very knowledgeable. I highly recommend Leslie and CMO Law Group.

I hired Leslie to help me get shared time with my daughter. During the process of getting the mother served, I was served with child support The mother avoided getting served long enough to get me served with child support. I didn't even know I was getting served, I thought it had to do with my case.
This helps the mother get almost double if not more child support plus 24 month of back pay, since theirs no record of shared time. If you're like me trusting in a hand shake, DON'T! you can't trust anybody that includes the mother of your child and family!
Leslie rapid response and action to my questions and concerns made a grave and stressful situtation, bareable. If your a man dealing with family court, contact leslie. Not once did I feel like I was the bad guy or a loser, which is what happened when I was trying to do it myself through the court "trusting in the system" never again. Always hire a lawyer, never trust anybody especially the system. You're just a number among hundreds if not thousands of cases.

This attorney has no clue I am writing this review, maybe he will see it at some point. If you are seeking an attorney in his field, you absolutely cannot go wrong with this guy!!! I can guarantee you he will be the type of attorney who will put his all into your case and I say that with 100% certainty.
Today walking to go into the courthouse feeling scared, stupid, anxious, stressed and clueless. I was going to file a motion on what seemed to be a simple case but turned out to be extremely complicated.
I decided to stop at this law firm and that’s where I met an angel on earth.
As I explained my case, he listened well; he is very knowledgeable and whatever he didn’t know or wasn’t sure about, he took the time to research online and in law books. He explained everything to me impeccably well; I felt like I was talking to a very nice judge. He sat with me for about 90 mins in his office, just selflessly and professionally helped me.
The care and the concern that he put into helping me is beyond my expectation of a consult.
I just had a terrible experience with a previous attorney & after speaking to over 10 attorneys last week, I was blessed with exactly the kind of help I got from him today.
I don’t know if he even understands how he affected my life today. I don’t think he knows how much stress he alleviated by taking time out of his day to help me.
Thank you for your compassion and kindness, sir. You have restored my faith in humanity(and attorneys). I cannot say enough about my experience with this attorney, this human. God Bless You and I am forever grateful.

I worked with Eric on a business buyout and contractual dispute. I cannot say enough about him - he was terrific. I felt lost at first and Eric helped me get control and feel confident. He was smart and took the time to really understand my business and future concerns. The resolution was better than I hoped for and I owe that to Eric. I would recommend him to family and friends alike.

Brandy has been so helpful from start to finish. She is always quick to respond and has kept me current on all aspects of my case as it Has proceeded. There has not been a single occurrence in my two years working with her that I have called or emailed and not gotten an immediate response from her. She has also made her best attempts to minimize unnecessary work and time to avoid extra costs. Very personable and reliable!

When Brandy Brennan took over my divorce case that had been dragging on for 6 months without much progress she went straight to work and got the case moving in the right direction. By reaching out to the other attorney on many occasions and working out solutions instead of playing games she saved me a lot of time and money. She kept me well informed throughout the process and was highly responsive. I was especially impressed with her level of dedication, open communication and strong work ethics. Her billing was very detailed and transparent.
I highly recommend Brandy as a divorce attorney!

Mrs. Arneson is an exceptional attorney. I could not be happier with her representation. I utilized her services for a divorce incorporating a distance time-sharing plan for one minor child. Mrs. Arneson's legal advice was unparalleled. I spoke with several attorneys prior to retaining her and she by far had advice; which (in my case) saved me the legal battle of fighting Florida's relocation statute. It was her expertise and savvy counsel; which turned a frightening and frankly anxiety-ridden situation, into one of ease and comfort. Divorce is not simple and certainly not enjoyable, but Mrs. Arneson represented me avidly and even informed me when I was incorrect in my personal assessment of the situation. Mrs. Arneson was respectful and made herself available on pretty much any occasion for questions and concerns. Please do not hesitate to retain her, you will not regret it.

Last year I had a case in which I needed strong representation against a person determined to not give me what I was entitled to. Within a few months, Mr. Shomar got all my damages, including my money back and full reimbursement of my attorney's fees and costs. He is smart, attentive, a professional, and makes it a point to keep you informed about your case. I felt comforted that he had it all under control. I would recommend him to anyone looking for legal representation!

Attorney Cynthia Lauriston took the time to educate me and made sure I understood the proceedings of my case. We met several times to strategize and she was always professional, informative and patient.

I was so pleased with her service that I've referred several clients to her and they've also shared my sentiments on her outstanding understanding of law and exceptional professionalism.

I sought the services of Cynthia as a consultant to my family law case.

I know the laws regarding my situation rather well. Cynthia was kind enough to refine that knowledge while offering a new level of insight and strategy

Andrea Gundersen has been representing me for over 1 year now. I was fortunate enough to find her at the time that I did. She's literally been the biggest blessing , I like to call her a Miracle.
Andrea Gundersen has brought life and hope back to what seemed to be a very dark place at one point. She's been my family's lifeline.
As we all know, Family Law cases can be extremely sensitive and draining, and at times seem impossible to deal with. Andrea Gundersen has always made me feel secure and confident and very hopeful throughout this difficult process.
Andrea Gundersen has extensive knowledge in Family Law and has tons of experience. She is super sharp, aggressive and very intense. I could not ask for a better litigator. She is a SHARK in that courtroom. She has the degree of strength and capacity that this job demands. She is FIERCE!!! Her knowledge for the law speaks for itself. She always exceeds my expectations. I feel totally protected when she is sitting by my side representing me.
With that said, at the same time she manages to be one of the most compassionate and understanding persons I have been fortunate enough to encounter throughout my life.
Andrea Gundersen has a very unusual way of explaining the law, and its
process and procedures that makes it very easy to understand exactly what is happening.
She is very realistic, straight forward, and honest. She has never left me with a question or concern unanswered. She is overall a amazing person and the best Attorney in the entire UNIVERSE!!!
I write this review for Andrea Gundersen with great honor. Whomever chooses to be represented by her will have made the best decision of their lives. Andrea Gundersen is 100% reliable, responsible, diligent, caring, and EXTREMELY BRILLIANT!!! She fights for her clients like no-one else.
Thanks to all her hard work, and all her countless hours of nothing but pure brilliance and passion she puts into her cases ..I am able to sleep in peace at night knowing that I have the best representation possible. It does not get better than Andrea R Gundersen "Family Law".
Who Andrea Gundersen is and what she represents is priceless!!! I am and will always be truly grateful God put her in my path!!!

I am most honored to be writing this review for Andrea Gundersen. My case was extremely difficult and with my inital phone conversation, prior to even hiring her, she took the time to explain the law and provide insight on my options. She showed care and concern before meeting me and taking my case. Once hired, she immediately started working on the case and throughout her concern was always - the best interest of the child. She spoke to you(not at you) by explaining the law so that you can understand - each step of the way. She is an extremely intelligent and professional woman that cares about her clients. I highly recommend this attorney.

I hired Ms. Dana Swickle to represent me in a divorce action from a 26 year marriage where I earned double my soon-to-be ex-wife. I hired Ms. Swickle to replace another attorney who was failing to represent me and had me exposed to a long term disaster for the rest of my life. Firing one and hiring another attorney is normally not advised and always more expensive, but I was in total despair dealing with an irrational opposition and a useless attorney.
On the recommendation of a friend I hired Ms. Swickle to take over my case. Ms. Swickle worked diligently to get me into a fair and equitable settlement that gave me my future back. Ms. Swickle is a masterful negotiator who was laser-focused leaving no stone un-turned. Thinking "outside the box" Ms. Swickle negotiated a lump sum alimony arrangement from a difficult current financial situation. I cannot say enough about her efforts and abilities. I am so fortunate to have had Ms. Swickle to represent me.

Juliette and her team are through professionals with a deep understanding of all the nuances of family law, clients and their emotional and financial state as they go through a divorce. Juliette not only is a very well known and well connected attorney but also an amazing human being who took the time to coach me through a very messy divorce ...even after hours. unlike some other lawyers she is not reliant on a ticking clock...she takes care of her clients even through evenings, weekends, holidays. She is very candid when it comes to how the legal processes will help or hurt and will advise with compete honesty, she did not only fight when she knew we had a very good chance of winning but also told me not to fight endlessly when there were stipulations that would not yield positive results. She gets personally involved in each case although she has a very good staff and trusted network of professionals who are ready to work with her. Divorce is hard and I don't wish it on anyone but if you have to get one get Juliette on your side.

After spending a great deal of time and money on a crappy attorney and yielding no results, I was referred to Juliette Lippman by a colleague and I must say this was one of the best decisions I’ve made. From the moment I spoke to Juliette during our initial consultation I knew this was an entirely different league. Juliette and her team of professionals are detailed, thorough, caring and most importantly—deliver results! I consider myself very fortunate that I was able to find such a dedicated, assertive and passionate attorney to take the helm and guide me to victory. Thank you!

Juliette and her associate Joshua Roberts took over my divorce case after I did my best to represent myself in court as a pro se litigant post having an awful experience with another attorney. Their level of professionalism, care, knowledge and impeccable work are outstanding. I wouldn't have had a positive outcome without their help. Furthermore EVERYONE in Juliette's office made me feel at ease and at home as I dealt with issues that are next to experiencing the death of a dear one when it comes to stress levels. Their compassion and empathy for their clients are genuine and I cannot thank them enough for successfully handling my case.

I would like to share some thoughts with you why Professor Timothy Arcaro should be your attorney.
My son was kidnapped from the United States in 2001. Through the Grace of God we were reunited in 2003. Many people participated in this process but no one gave more of his time and energy than Professor Arcaro.
When seeking legal help in this endeavor, The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children gave me one name. They said I was very fortunate to be located near one of their most highly regarded attorneys in the United States, Professor Arcaro.
After Professor Arcaro accepted me as a client, I had the opportunity to witness one of the most remarkable men I have known.
Because I was simultaneously litigating in Europe, Texas, and Florida at the appellate level, he was dealing with an extremely complicated case. I observed Professor Arcaro devote endless hours on my case.
Not only does Professor Arcaro have the admiration of governmental agencies, he has the respect of his peers in Florida, the United States, and in Europe. His ability to work across borders, languages, and cultures to champion his client and pursue what is right, no matter how long it takes, is an example of a consummate professional and humanitarian.

Mr. Andy Wilson took care of me during my ex husband's attempt to modify my settlement. As you can imagine I was scared and needed a lot of support. Mr. Wilson always kept me informed, responded to my questions immediately and most importantly gave me emotional support during the ordeal. He managed the case with gentle aggression to opponent attorney, knew everything about the case and in the end everything turned out fine. I will not forget the way I was treated by him , and all in the firm with whom I had contact, and how diligently they worked to achieve a positive outcome; Mr. Wilson is excellent and informed of details that were important in resolving issues. Thank God they were on my side.

I was in a brutal accident in Fort Lauderdale, and I was really afraid of medical bills and not being able to work for many days. Adam was referred to me as a bicycle accident attorney from a friend of mine. I wasn't aware that someone specializes in that first of all. Then I learned that he was also a member of Million Dollar Advocates Forum which is based on achieving rewards/claims for plaintiffs in cases. Well I was able to settle with the defendant for a'lot of money and rehabilitate my health. I owe Adam my life.

Mitch was recommended to me and in a field of many attorneys in south Florida, Mitch really stands out. If things get messy in the divorce, Mitch is pro-active and not only able to help anticipate your needs, but your spouses attempts to play dirty. What makes Mitch great is his ability to see the bigger picture with your case, not just the moment or the current step in it.
Mitch is the one I would recommend if you love your children but can't make it work with your spouse. Mitch understands the end goal is a productive co-parenting relationship with your former partner and he does what is needed to reach that goal.

Mr. Gordon was referred to me after 2 previous attorney's. To say that Mr. Gordon worked a miracle is an understatement. I was stuck with an time sharing order that gave me 2 weekends per month, Mother had sole parental on extra-curricular activities which I had to pay for half of. (She once suggested flying lessons for an 8 yr old) and I was paying child support as well when mother made 50k a year more than I did.
Mr. Gordon was able to get mother and mother's attorney (without going to court) to agree to the following. I have 50/50 timesharing (mom: mon,tues) (me: wed,thurs) and alternating weekends. There is no child support on either side and we both are responsible for any extra-curricular activities we sign our son up for.
We now have the most equal (Parallel Parenting) plan I think has ever been seen. It is impossible to put into words what Mr. Gordon has done. I will be forever grateful and would encourage you to hire him any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Thank Goodness for Mr. Gordon! During the painful process of divorce, I was fortunate to have Mr. Gordon by my side. His intellect, his knowledge, abilities, and kind consideration for me and my son was only surpassed by his fierce defense of all things ethical, legal, and protective of me. While representing me, he demonstrated how to succeed, how to lead, how to work hard and passionately in defense of a woman and a child who needed his skills. Today, my life is on an even keel, with the financial resources I need and the self-confidence I have attained due directly to Mr. Gordon's work. Every woman or man would benefit from knowing him and my particular situation is better for having hired him.

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.
