Ms. Erika Becker represented me recently in Juvenile Dependency Court. She stepped in and stepped up to defend me and worked hard to make sure my child was returned to me. She helped lead me through what I considered a terrifying time of my life. She was always there to answer questions and responded to my phone, text and emails right away. With her exceptional knowledge of the Juvenile Court system, she not only kept me informed, but looked after me and my child's best interest. I would highly recommend her based on the above mentioned and her professionalism.

I helped my boss and boss's wife get through a criminal charge against her. I didn't know where to turn to, but when I searched for an attorney in Fullerton, Attorney Erika Becker showed up and several others. I contacted all of them, and she was the first to return my call within a day and realized she has a many years of law experience. When I met her, she explained details about what can happen to what she can do for us. Although, what she advised us wasn't the best outcome that we were hoping for, when the final outcome came out, she made it even better than what we had hoped for. There was a misdemeanor charge, 2 years of probation, 1 year of schooling...the charge was downgraded to infraction, no probation and no schooling! How awesome is that! We were excited and so glad that we hired her to represent us. Thank you Attorney Erika Becker and I am confident that she will help so many people like us and so good to know I found such a great attorney. So, glad that I met a great person, attorney, and I think she will make a great difference in our community. I definitely recommend her and I can't say enough about her! Great person! Thanks again, Attorney Erika Becker!

My world was turned upside down, after a silly mistake at the age of 23 landed me straight in Santa Ana County Jail facing up to 6 years. I called Erika on a Sunday, and she responded within two minutes. Ever since that conversation Erika has worked ferociously to defend me, and is the reason I am free today, clearing me of all felony counts. She has a huge heart and made me feel like family. She stopped at nothing to obtain justice for my life and my family, and for that I will never be able to repay her. Ericka was honest and professional, and is second to none in work ethic. Thank you so very much, you have changed my life.

I am writing this review to express my utmost gratitude and admiration for Attorney Richard Curran. His legal expertise, professionalism, and dedication to his clients are truly unparalleled.
From the moment I first consulted with Richard, I was immediately put at ease by his calm demeanor and confident assurance. Despite the severity of my case, which had the potential to result in many years of incarceration, Richard never wavered in his commitment to fight for my rights and freedom.
Richard's legal acumen is nothing short of extraordinary. He has an uncanny ability to navigate the complex labyrinth of the legal system with ease and precision. His strategic approach to my case was meticulously planned and executed, leaving no stone unturned.
What sets Richard apart from other attorneys is his ability to turn the impossible into possible. He is not just an attorney, but a magician who can make legal troubles disappear with his profound knowledge and experience. His relentless pursuit of justice and his unwavering belief in my innocence were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome in my case.
Richard's communication throughout the process was exceptional. He kept me informed at every stage, explaining complex legal jargon in a way that was easy to understand. His empathetic approach made me feel valued and respected, and his tireless dedication gave me the confidence and reassurance I needed during a very stressful time.
In the end, Richard did more than just represent me in court; he fought for my future, my freedom, and my reputation. His efforts resulted in a resolution that far exceeded my expectations. I was looking at many years for my case, but Richard worked wonders and turned a potentially life-altering situation into a manageable one.
I cannot recommend Richard Curran highly enough. If you are in need of an attorney who will fight for you, who will treat you with respect and dignity, and who will do everything in his power to ensure the best possible outcome, look no further than Richard Curran. His exceptional legal services are worth every penny.
Thank you, Richard, for your unwavering dedication and for giving me a second chance at life. You are truly a beacon of hope in the legal profession. Best Maurice H

I contacted Kelly and Mark Irwin, after going to court alone without representation, regarding an assault case and abandoned mediation. Both Kelly and Mark are very familiar with Family Law and how it works. I felt secure that they would do a very good job for me and they did. I was most impressed with their professional and knowledgeable approach on how to negotiate a successful end to a very disturbing case.

I couldn't be happier with the way Mark handled my divorce. He kept me informed the entire way and I always felt Mark was working in my best interests. Mark was very understanding during the difficult times of the case and was empathetic to my situation. In the end Mark achieved everything he (we) set out to accomplish and I couldn't be happier with the results. He is truly a person of good moral character and a professional who always worked hard for his client. Thanks Mark.

I don't see how our recent case could have gone any better, or relieved me of so many details I do not enjoy. It was a wonderful experience having Mark's guidance and assistance. Mark was right on target with the decisions he left to me, and those he took by himself in our behalf, and he is clearly an enterprising person with a good ability to press his case without seeming aggressive.

I hired Kelly to represent me in family court while obtaining a restraining order for my past relationship, which involved Domestic Violence. Kelly was very thorough and knowledgeable along every step of the way, and fully invested herself and her time in my case. She was very straight-forward with myself and my family, and most importantly for me, honest. I was extremely apprehensive about going to court in such a sensitive situation, but Kelly made me feel more at ease in the courtroom with the competency in which she represented my case. If need be, I would not hesitate to hire Kelly to represent me again in the future.

Kelly helped me get through a divorce that I had been working through myself for 17 years, I could not do it on my own, I needed professional help with this, and she listened to my needs and helped me through it every step of the way. I turned it over to her and let her do her magic, this divorce had so many aspects that a "normal" divorce wouldn't have, and she was able to work through it and resolve it in a professional and dedicated manner. I would refer her over and over again...kudos to Kelly!

I retained at a time when I was feeling my lowest. Not only did Rhonda help me through this process efficiently and thoroughly, I felt that her and her paralegal, Rene, truly cared about me. I had another attorney previously and I rarely got responses. In fact, his staff often didn't remember who I was. Renee always got back to me promptly and kept me informed throughout. The rates are reasonable and I never felt overcharged (which is a HUGE concern for anyone going through a family law matter). If you want personal attention with years of expertise, this is the office for you.

I was referred to Ronda by another member of my law enforcement family. Right away, I could feel her confidence, knowledge and professionalism. I was faced with an extremely difficult dilemma that Ronda assured me would be ok and told me not to stress. Easier said than done. Prior to each stage of my case, Ronda was able to provide me with righteous information. I was expecting a nightmare. Ronda was able to work well with a very difficult divorce process on my behalf. Ronda was great.

This guy just takes you're down payment of $3000 and then does nothing for you. He will tell my husband and I that he had another client whose case was more important and wouldn't show up to our court days. He sends a back up who knows nothing about the case. It's hard to get ahold of him and when you do he reply by telling us he hasn't looked into anything yet. He likes to preach about being there for you and then goes M.I.A on you. Don't waste you're time and money on this man. I feel like half these reviews are fake.

Christopher is unlike any other. I can't thank him enough for everything he’s done for me and my family. To start off, the man knows what he’s doing. He’s very straight forward, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely cares. I’ve consulted him on four different cases and he has managed to strategically work around every case with diligence and technicality. Everything started off after a bad choice on my part which led me to possibly lose custody of both my kids along with a criminal case. I felt like my life was spiraling out of control and he helped keep it together; With the help of Chris, his team, and the grace of God both my kids are still in my custody. He also managed to help my marriage. On multiple occasions he spoke with us over the phone while things were on edge, including while he was on vacation and has also done prayers with us.
On another occasion I landed back in jail and thankfully my mom was able to contact him before my court trial. Without even being retained for my (new) case he joined me for hearing and got me released without bail that same evening. If I could go back in time I’d make different choices but I wouldn’t change hiring Chris to defend me.
God bless this man!

Where to begin.. Mr Hernandez has debunked almost every stereotype that’s associated with lawyers (expensive, insensitive to needs/details, punctual), all but one; he wins! I went from a 3-6yr prison threat for burglary to no jail time. Highest praises for this man & his skills. He help me while all this Covid was going on and never missed a beat! Thank you to Chris & his team!

I met with Miller Family Law regarding a Temporary Restraining Order filed against me. After the initial consultation, based on both Matt and Evelin's thoughtful approach I retained the firm.
I was impressed by Matt and Evelin's combined knowledge of the process and their ability to develop a defense that was concise, accurate, and thorough, which resulted in a removal of all temporary orders. Their follow up advice since the matter was settled has also been valuable.
I could not recommend the Miller Family Law Group any higher. Thanks Matt and Evelin for all your hard work!

Have been through the mill with divorce attorneys, five of them and over $100,0000 in legal fees and almost 2 years in court before I found the Miller Family Law Group. Matthew Miller was able to get my case on track, get things in order, utilize the law on behalf of my son to get 2% custody (can you believe?) turned to 46% custody. The Family Law Court is such a dens of thieves with attorneys playing divorce games, threatened restraining orders, filing phony police reports, etc. Matthew Miller turned all this around. No games, just the law. Matthew and Evelina work tirelessly, even in the late hours, and they've had to work with a frustrated dad. Matthew Miller practices law like it should be practiced. He won't throw tomatoes for you. He will just get what needs to be done, done. And out of the six attorneys I've hired, his fees were the most reasonable!

When I first retained Mr. Miller 8 years ago for my divorce and ugly child custody matter, I was especially concerned with his youthful, boy-next-door appearance. I wasn't sure he would be tough enough for the battlefield. I quickly learned Matthew is more than capable. Not only does he know the law, but he understands the politics and procedures of how these things work. He knew when to sit back and when to stand up. His advice to me was spot-on and results were even better than I expected.
Several years later when I needed his services again, he again did a fantastic job for me and my family. Together with his wife/partner Evelina, the Miller Family Law Group has been nothing but professional and effective. They've both always been accessible and totally available whenever I've had questions and have explained every process to me fully and respectfully. Most importantly, I completely trust Matthew. He has represented me, advised me and fought for me. These types of matters are so difficult and emotional you need someone who is looking out for your best interests. It's been many years but I continue to be immensely grateful for Mr. Miller's service.
I highly recommend Matthew Miller as a family law attorney.

I rarely post reviews for any business on any platform, however, while searching for a lawyer that would help me resolve a contentious custody battle for my children, I found Megan with Irwin & Irwin law firm, and felt compelled to write this review.
While researching Irwin & Irwin, I read mixed reviews online, and after meeting with Megan, I knew she would be fair, caring, and tenacious enough to help me resolve our contentious issues with grace.
Megan and the Irwin & Irwin team were exactly what we needed to get our contentious custody case, and family relationship back in order. She helped me decide exactly what I wanted, and what I was willing to negotiate for. Her positive personality helped with mediating our agreement, and she was very fair in regards to billing without drying out my well.
I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND MEGAN THOMPSON TO HELP RESOLVE YOUR CUSTODY CASES- only if you don't want to live the rest of your life in court, spending every last dime you have, and living in misery from aggressive attorneys creating discontent and aggravating issues to the point of stalemate.
Thank you Megan!

Alan is an easily likeable man. I, being trusting, let him take over my case from his fellow colleagues. That should have been my first clue. He burned his own employee in the same office. Didn't care about my dire situation, I retained him and repeatedly told him to file for attorneys fees but he never did. Then he wanted to sell my house for money for him, went through a load of hearings to do so. He claimed to hook me up with this realtor who he trusts and doing business with for years. So much for that, as much business that they supposedly have done, they didn't file proper paperwork prior to DCSS collecting on a child support lien. As a result the paying parent was over credited. When I exhausted all my available annuities and 403b to keep him working on my case he dropped me, leaving me with a mess. I do not recommend him to anyone.

I would not recommend using Chuck as an Attorney. Unfortunately I have gone through a sticky divorce and had to use many attorneys for many tasks. Many attorneys are specialist in different areas of the law. I hired Chuck to remove a lien off of my property that was paid in full over 6 year ago. It is a simple legal procedure and should have only taken 6 months tops to clean up. I am currently at the year and a half marker and no response for Chuck. He made a mistake on the paper work and it has cost me an additional 7 months of time. I would strongly suggest using another attorney. He is very unresponsive and will go weeks at a time without returning a call. The only time I get in touch with him is if I use a different phone number when calling him. Legal matters are stressful enough, you don't need your attorney to add to the stress.

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.
