Working with Mr. Patel was a great experience. I hired him to review and consult on a prenup, with three weeks to go to the wedding. He was very consistent in communication and efficient in reviewing and returning materials, as well as providing thoughtful legal advisement. Would definitely recommend.

I can’t say enough about NVP Law. Nishit, Dante , Donsha and Danielle all played a role in making a very hard divorce case as smooth and productive as possible. I couldn’t imagine going through this without the personalized attention and care from this team, and the genuine effort it took to successfully complete this divorce process. Thank you!

Having to go thought a divorce is horrible, having to find someone who can represent you is another difficult task. Before I came to this office I went though a few lawyers and they all seemed interested in one thing, money. They all dismissed what was more important to me, my daughter. I thought I was never going to find someone who understood what I needed. Until someone guided me to Jim’s office. At first I was a bit worried because I thought this might be the same thing. To my surprise this was a very different world. I felt heard, I felt like they understood what was important for me. Most of all the one person who helped me throughout this whole situation was Lora. I couldn’t have gone through all of this with out her help. She sincerely opened her heart and shared her help in way I couldn’t began to describe. I know that lawyers are always busy, but when they have someone like Lora, who reminds them of certain situations and someone who cares a lot about what you are going through and does her best to make sure you understand everything that is happening even if it means after hours or on the weekend. I can’t fully express my gratitude to her, if it wasn’t for her help and guidance I don’t know how things could have ended. Thankfully my situation concluded and I was okay thanks to this team. I will forever thank them for their help, and if anyone is having a hard time and need help I think this is a great office and a great team that could help you. I highly recommend them.

This team is full of good people with good morals & will fight & represent your family well. They are honest, very detailed oriented, aggressive when needed, knowledgeable, will fight for what is morally right & work with you through your financial situation (& they’re very persistent). I would highly recommend using their team for any custody issues, divorce processes & they will take the time to guide you to do what’s right in the best interests of your children (or whatever situation you may be faced or dealing with). They’re like family….thats how they treated me & my children & the outcome was in my favor. Largely because of how they operate their practice. Jim W., Lora H. & Kevin P. are the only people I’d ever recommend (or trust) in a tough situation like the cases they handle. Their like family & again the way they practice is the right way. My lawyer Jim stepped up big, kept me straight through my own emotions & how to follow the process & the para legal was absolutely amazing, smart, knowledgeable & kept me moving in the right direction. Kevin stepped in on one of my most important hearings & was an all-star representative of my family. Love these people. Their normal good hearted people & not like “the blood sucking lawyers” mentioned in Jurassic Lark. I can’t say enough about what they did for me & my family. God bless each of them, because we handled it in the “right way”. Don’t go to anyone else but them. If you’re truly a good person, parent, wife/husband & your battling with a tough situation I highly recommend their team….& only then team. Trust them, follow their lead & if your intentions are good….their the best team you could hire. I’m forever in debt to these fine American based people. I just can’t say enough. Don’t go anywhere else. Lean on them & their practice/knowledge.

It was truly a pleasure to have Mr. Winston Gammon as my attorney. I hired Mr. Gammon about a year and a half ago. Through the whole time he was on top of everything. He was always willing to answer the phone or have me come in and talk when I had questions or concerns. His professionalism and expertise made the journey bearable. He was always curtious to my wife and kids when they would join me in meetings and always treated me with respect. Mr. Winston thank you, you truly are a great person and lawyer to have in a time of need.

If you have a criminal case. Do NOT hire him . You will waste your money and end up with a long prison sentence. I am living proof. I wasted years of my life for a case that could have been thrown away or gotten a reduced sentence. He will work with the DA an throw you under the bus for another client to get time reduced.

Exceptional Divorce Attorney – A Fierce Advocate for Justice Going through a highly contested divorce is one of the most difficult experiences a person can endure, and having the right attorney makes all the difference. After a traumatic experience with my first attorney—who was ultimately fired from her firm—I knew I needed someone aggressive, strategic, and unshakable in the courtroom. After extensive research, I found Candice Davis, and hiring her was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My divorce was contentious, with an ex-wife who demanded everything and refused to compromise, and an opposing attorney who was more of a ruthless bully than a professional. I needed someone who could not only defend me but turn the tide in my favor—and Candice did exactly that. From day one, she was laser-focused, well-prepared, and fearless. In court, she absolutely devastated my ex-wife on the stand and completely unraveled the opposing attorney’s aggressive tactics. He was so off balance that he resorted to making nonsensical statements while I was testifying. Candice’s sharp legal mind, commanding presence, and ability to expose contradictions turned the case in my favor. The final hearing’s outcome was extremely favorable, and I owe it entirely to Candice’s skill, preparation, and tenacity. She took what felt like an impossible situation and delivered justice and peace of mind. If you need an attorney who will fight relentlessly for you, outmaneuver the opposition, and secure the best possible outcome, look no further than Candice Davis. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Having to go through probate and a court appointed administrator I had to deal with a lot of different lawyers. Nothing compares to the way Adam and his team were. I NEVER had a problem getting him or anyone on the phone or an email response. Mind you I had given up because my case was turnt down by multiple lawyers. But Adam took the case and we won and I can’t thank him enough for everything. He absolutely deserves a 5 out of 5.

I have been working with my divorce attorney, Samantha Lennon, and her paralegal, Hannah, since April 2023. Throughout my experience with the Lennon, Giovinazzo, Steele Family Law firm, I have been consistently impressed with their professionalism, dedication, and expertise. Samantha not only handled my divorce proceedings with great care and attention to detail, but she also represented me in a successful contempt of court case against my ex-husband. Her knowledge of family law and her strategic approach were instrumental in achieving favorable outcomes in both matters. Hannah, her paralegal, has been an invaluable asset as well. She is always prompt and meticulous in her work, providing thorough support and clear communication at every stage. The entire team at Lennon, Giovinazzo, Steele Family Law firm made a challenging and emotional time in my life much more manageable with their compassionate and skillful approach. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a family law attorney. Thank you, Samantha and Hannah, for your unwavering support and dedication. Your hard work has truly made a positive impact on my life.

After having a very bad and disappointing experience with a previous law firm who claimed to have my interest in mind, I can say I found THE RIGHT ONE in Rafi Law Firm. They showed great compassion, attention to detail, and I felt as if they had MY best interest in the process. They are detailed oriented and follow up promptly to all questions. Super professional job!! I couldn't be happier with the service provided. If you're in need of great representation, do not hesitate to use this Law Firm. They will treat you the best.

I absolutely MUST take the time to express my deep gratitude for the amazing services that were rendered by Attorney Lennon and her incredible paralegal Hannah Garcia. I filed for divorce from my husband in August 2023 and I hired counsel in July 2023 to guide me through this process. I was so unhappy with the initial counsel I hired and truly felt like I was being forced to settle for terms that I was uncomfortable with and not being advocated for, which was both really scary and disheartening. After about a year of being with previous counsel, I started searching for another attorney to help move my divorce proceedings along and to get the advocacy that I truly needed. From the date of securing Attorney Lennon as my counsel, she immediately began working on my case and swiftly moved my divorce forward, arranging mediation with a wonderful mediator. She consistently advocated fiercely for me and my daughter, which was so helpful and needed. As of this week, we've reached a settlement that I completely satisfied with. Within two months of hire, Attorney Lennon has turned my entire case around. Her and Ms. Garcia, her paralegal, are incredibly responsive and thoroughly answered all of my questions throughout my time as their client. If you are looking for a sharp team to both support and advocate for you during the scary time of going through a divorce, I implore you to PLEASE give this firm a call! Attorney Lennon and Ms. Garcia, I truly appreciate you both for everything you did for my family!

Exceptional Divorce Attorney – A Fierce Advocate for Justice Going through a highly contested divorce is one of the most difficult experiences a person can endure, and having the right attorney makes all the difference. After a traumatic experience with my first attorney—who was ultimately fired from her firm—I knew I needed someone aggressive, strategic, and unshakable in the courtroom. After extensive research, I found Candice Davis, and hiring her was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My divorce was contentious, with an ex-wife who demanded everything and refused to compromise, and an opposing attorney who was more of a ruthless bully than a professional. I needed someone who could not only defend me but turn the tide in my favor—and Candice did exactly that. From day one, she was laser-focused, well-prepared, and fearless. In court, she absolutely devastated my ex-wife on the stand and completely unraveled the opposing attorney’s aggressive tactics. He was so off balance that he resorted to making nonsensical statements while I was testifying. Candice’s sharp legal mind, commanding presence, and ability to expose contradictions turned the case in my favor. The final hearing’s outcome was extremely favorable, and I owe it entirely to Candice’s skill, preparation, and tenacity. She took what felt like an impossible situation and delivered justice and peace of mind. If you need an attorney who will fight relentlessly for you, outmaneuver the opposition, and secure the best possible outcome, look no further than Candice Davis. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Extremely frustrating experience with this law office. My father passed and this firm was handling probate details. I needed to sign a couple documents and no longer live local to the office. The documents were emailed to me and I had them notarized and shipped the physical copies back. The documents were received Monday April 29th. On Monday May 6th, Terri Erickson emailed saying she sent the wrong documents and I would need to go through the process again. Ok, mistakes happen. She provided a new document for me to sign. I went to have the new document signed and she made a mistake on my name. The notary would not notarize the document. Another wasted trip. The lack of attention to details is surprising. I would highly recommend looking for a different law office. The attorney Terri works for is Leslee Hungerford.

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.
