I had the pleasure of working with Alex Zugaro during a challenging time, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the service I received. From the start, Alex took the time to explain everything to me in layman’s terms, ensuring I fully understood every aspect of my case. The communication was excellent—Alex kept me updated at every stage, making sure I was never left in the dark.
Throughout the process, Alex maintained the highest level of professionalism while also showing genuine empathy for my situation. It was clear that he and the entire team at Phillips & Associates truly had my best interests at heart. Their dedication and thorough approach gave me confidence and peace of mind during a difficult time.
I highly recommend Alex Zugaro to anyone in need of legal representation. You’ll be in excellent hands.

I am so thankful to have had Danielle Seid-Vazana as my divorce attorney. Danielle is a very professional, responsive, diligent, a caring attorney. She listens to every detail and her approach is well throughout. I would highly recommend her for anyone dealing with a highly contested divorce. She stood by my side the entire time until the end. I truly can't thank her enough as she helped me get through a difficult time in my life.

Danielle is a compassionate, caring and present family law attorney. She is responsive, timely and actually cares about the best interest of your child. Before I started working with her I referred a few clients to her based on a recommendation, and I’m happy that I hired her as well once I had respond to litigation for the first time in four years. It’s important to have someone who cares because otherwise the attorney will get bored of your case, won’t respond and you’ll be put on the back burner. Danielle is unlike the others and I highly recommend her.

I decided to hire Irene after consulting with a few attorneys regarding my child custody case. What made her stand out is her experience working at the Children’s Law Center of NY and her attention to detail. She asked pertinent questions that would be critical to my case and explained the importance of those questions. I felt she was frank and sincere which I appreciated because it gave me a true sense of what I should expect with my case. Thanks to her counsel there were no surprises, I felt completely confident in her abilities from my first court date and watching her represent me. If you are looking for an attorney who is professional, knowledgeable in child laws and all around a straight shooter I would recommend Irene to anyone who needs a family lawyer.

Irene handled my divorce, and I would give her more than 5 stars here if I could. She was not only very knowledgeable and experienced in her field, but inspired so much confidence that everything was going to turn out ok (which it did, better than ok actually). She handled every situation with compassion and was sensitive to even the most delicate issues, she basically took the stress and worry out of my hands and handled everything, with a level of confidence and competence that was very reassuring. She never failed to give me excellent advice and was always responsive when I needed to get in touch with her, she returned my calls promptly and never left me hanging or wondering if my interests came first. And she was a fierce advocate for those interests at all times, she maintains professionalism but never lets the other side push her around. I don't think you could be in better hands, if you want somebody who will go to bat for you and make sure your case is handled the best way possible. I'm truly thankful to know Irene and to have her work on my case.

I cannot say enough positive things about Kate Ryan. Going through a divorce is never easy, but Kate made the process so much more bearable with her professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care. After firing my first attorney for unnecessarily prolonging my divorce, Kate stepped in and got things moving immediately. Within just a few weeks, she was able to resolve my case efficiently and professionally. From the start, she took the time to understand my situation, patiently explained all the legal options, and always made sure I felt heard.
Her expertise in family law and the court system is outstanding, and she handled my case with precision and attention to detail. Kate was always available to answer questions, provide updates, and offer sound advice. She fought hard for a fair resolution, and the outcome of my case exceeded my expectations.
If you're looking for a highly skilled divorce attorney who will prioritize your needs and advocate for you every step of the way, I highly recommend Kate Ryan. She truly made a difficult time in my life so much easier, and I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you for your unwavering support and exceptional representation!

Katherine was my divorce attorney and I don't feel she represented my best interests with any sincerity and her focus was on billing until I was wrung dry, at which point, she dumped me as a client against my wishes. In the long run, she did me a favor but at the time it was very stressful and I was left unrespresented because I couldn't afford to lay out another retainer, as she was aware.
She was not successful in securing a good deal with the other side, repeatedly brushed off my concerns and didn't bother to inform me of any strategy or what to expect. Her "bedside manner" was pitiful.
When I had a status conference coming up again, she threatened that if I did not come up with the balance several days in advance that she would not go on my behalf. I scraped up most of it but could not come up with the entire amount. She accepted that and seemed ok with the small balance left.
She went in to the conference and announced to the lawyer, court clerk and judge that she would not be represnting me further, without having informed me. Afterwards, she explained to me what had transpired, urged me to take the paltry offer from the other side and only then let me know that she wanted off my case because I had lost faith in her. I told her that we did not need to like each other in order to continue, should be keep things professional and that I had no recourse to replace her as my funds were dry. If perhaps she had secured spoousal support from my ex who earned far more than I did, I could have afforded to pay her but she was not interested in pursuing that. She did not seem to care about the dire financial situation I was in and had ignored my suggestions that she try to get court ordered compensation from the other side as well. I knew this was possible from other separated people I knew in simiar situations on both counts.
It had been approximately 6 months since forward progress had been made in our case. I kept paying for status conferences and to only keep hearing how the other attorney does not return calls. The offer she was suggesting I consider was ridiculously low and I truly believe she wanted to move on to someone with deeper pockets and had lost interest in my case.
I asked her not to take herself off my case because I needed representation and she said if I did not sign to allow it, she would go to court and would get the judge to let her off anyway. She agreed to waive her fee for the last court appearance because if I had known she was quitting, I would not have wanted her speaking on my behalf. I felt coerced into letting her resign.
I am now being pursued for the balance on my account at a larger amount than agreed. I offered her a settlement but instead she hired a lawyer to pursue it in court. That feels like bullying again from someone who knows the law against someone who cannot afford professional representation.
I was referred to her because my prior attorney made a large financial mistake that, luckily, I caught when discussing it with someone who was more experienced than I am. The person who referred her said she would fight for me and be a pit bull. Unfortnately, rather than feel like she was representing me, I felt that she was fighting me rather than fighting for me.
In the end, she did me a favor because I represented myself and got a far more favorable deal than she had pushed me to take. It involves retirement funds which I can't touch yet so that doesn't help me with affording her current bill, which is higher than she last agreed to accept. I was stressed about going in on my trial date without a lawyer for almost 6 months. Divorce is stressful enough already but she left me to feel defenseless for months, literally.

Jacob Silver is an outstanding attorney! My partner was dealing with bad debt and went through a hard time with not being able to make ends meet. I found Mr. Silver on google and saw the amazing reviews and had my partner make an appointment ASAP. Within 2 months Mr. Silver did everything with paperwork, meetings, etc. for the bankruptcy as he felt necessary and let me add that he is always responsive and available for questions when his clients need him because my partner would email at some random times and always received a response! My partner is now debt free. This was such a big weight lifted off of both of our shoulders, and I am happy I found Jacob Silver. Thank you for giving my partner a new start in life. I would recommend this attorney in a less than heartbeat, 10 stars! :)

- 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.

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.

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.

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. -

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.
