I hired Keller from my hospital room when I was injured on 5/5/20. One of the very best decisions I could have ever made!
Literally I have zero complaints regarding Keller, and Brooke.
From the very same day I was injured i retained Doehling Law. That same week Brooke came to my home to sign the paperwork and made it so simple.
I am an autistic woman and cannot emphasize enough how simple, and transparent Keller and Brooke made this entire process for me.
Though all the neurologist appointments, MRI, neck injections to the final few months where Keller really ramped up the pressure on the insurance agency to get the full demand I was in the best of hands. Brooke is amazing at same day emails and calls. Keller has an amazing team.
No hidden fees, and he took care of the medical bills and argued them down to half their costs.
I'm immensely grateful all I had to do was just take check and deposit it.
Not only that, but as a personal touch the day I went to their office to get my check, Brooke took a while to explain to me what I need to include in auto insurance to make sure I have higher coverage to sue if I'm injured in an auto accident again.
I am so grateful for Doehling Law firm. I really am.
Thank you so very Keller and Brooke

I felt completely overwhelmed after being involved in a hit and run accident with both my medical bills and dealing with the insurance companies. I called and spoke with attorneys at other firms in Denver and were very disappointed in how they treated me. When I contacted Doehling Law I never once felt like I was just a number or that my case wasn’t important enough. Keller was up front with me throughout the entire process and walked me through my options. He was extremely kind, professional, and knowledgeable. I am extremely happy with how my case turned out and can’t recommend Keller at Doehling Law high enough!

Keller was an incredible attorney and friend during a time that was stressful, confusing, and just plain hard. I had never been in an accident before and, thankfully, Keller was able to come along side and help guide me through a difficult process. I had no idea what questions to ask, what bills meant what, what was a fair settlement, or anything about this process. He took all the pressure off me, handled every inquiry, dealt with every bump on the road in a professional, fair, and strong manner. I honestly was able to focus on healing and recouping while he handled all the red tape. I couldn't recommend him enough.

I hired Jim during a very difficult divorce and custody battle. Jim was able to do everything I asked of him. I started out with only have a few hours a week with my son, and after hiring Jim that few hours turned into me having 365 overnights a year and 100% decision making. It was the best move I could have made. Jim is worth every penny, and he is willing to work with you. If you want a lawyer that will go to work for you and always have your best interest at heart Jim should be your first choice. He fought tooth and nail and everything paid off in the end. He will let you know straight forward and wont sugar coat it. He will look out for you and your family. I am truly thankful for everything Jim has done for my family. He is the best in town in my opinion. I cannot say enough good things about Jim and his law firm. Each and every one of them from Max at the front desk to Julie wants nothing but the best for you and your family. Jim is a very good lawyer and knows what he is doing. He is at ease and relaxed in the court room. When he is in court he is in his element and knows what has to be done to get the job done. I am in his debt for what he has done for my family.

I went to Roy for guidance on a child support issue I wasn't easily navigating myself. It's difficult to find someone who you feel is "on your side" but I knew immediately he had my best interest and that of my son's in mind. He didn't throw huge retainers my way, he assisted me in preparing what I needed to prepare... even spending unpaid time helping me get it just right. I was very pleased with his help! His approach might be a little unorthodox, but he's smart and he's passionate about what he does. I would have no problem recommending him to anyone looking for legal guidance and representation!

If you're looking for an attorney, then you found it. There aren't enough good things I could say about Annie Le Fleur and her team, she is an amazing lawyer. I would recommend her 10 out of 10 times. She is tough in the courtroom, knows what she's doing and very professional. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer but even more than that I couldn't have asked for a better person to represent me. Annie values family, values the rights of children and pushes to get you what you deserve. She truly cares about her clients and gave me the confidence I needed to get thought a very emotional case. My custody battle took over a year to finalize and I'm so thankful that Annie was there beside me to get me through it. She was a true blessing to me and my kids. Annie was diligent, straight forward and knew what to say in the courtroom. She's tough and will fight to get you what you want and I definitely wouldn't want to go against her in court. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again and would highly recommend her. You can't loose with Annie. She is a true professional but more than anything just a beautiful person inside and out.

Annie is... attentive, insightful, to-the-point, no-nonsense. She knows the law. She knows the players in the court system. She knows the strengths and idiosyncrasies of folks on the other side of the issue. She doesn't waste time. Would I recommend her? Totally!

This is the Chris Mahre in Grand Junction not the good attorney in New York! I wrote a couple of bad reviews for Brendon Riley who, I believe knew because I have mental issues, he could do nothing in my case and let my ex husband’s attorney draw up our divorce and told me I had no choice but to sign it. It caused me to lose everything I have and left me homeless. After I wrote the reviews Chris Mahre called me and was so desperate for me take the reviews down that he promised me twice in that phone call that he would fix the problem that Riley caused me. I made him promise me twice because I was afraid he was just saying it to get me to take the reviews down. Well I was right. As soon as the reviews were down. Cheri Mahre started making excuses about why he couldn’t represent me or even fix the problem Riley had caused. He gave me a couple of attorney names and told me not to call back. Bear in mind that I am an elderly woman suffering from PTSD, a victim of domestic violence, and Mr Riley abandoned me in the middle of my case so I had no representation which along with the separation agreement that Mr Riley sabotaged me with, I am homeless, and have lost everything to the man who victimized me!! All because they know I am powerless.

I hired Amy to help me with my custody case. She was very thorough with her work, and stayed in contact with me to let me know what was going on. As we all know, court is a very intimidating and a very stressful thing to go through and Amy took all of the stress off of me and handled it well. She is amazing in the court room and knows the law. Her paralegal Josie gets back to you very fast, is very nice and professional. If you want professional representation I highly recommend Amy Hand.

Kali represented me in a pretty nasty divorce case. She stated from the beginning that we would always take the high road, and be cordial in court and we did just that. She was able to reunite me with my children and keeps fighting for me every step of the way. I don't know where I'd be without Kali, and she was a guardian angel sent to me. I highly recommend Kali Roundy for any family divorce case! Thank you Kali

Then they told me that I needed to fill out more paperwork to get my money and still no settlement. It will be 3 years in February fighting this!

He is a great attorney. I’ve had a few other attorneys in the past that spent my whole retainer in no time I used Louis on a family matter and he did not. He knew what he was doing, his experience in the court system made it fast and quick and saved me money in the long run. Yeah his hourly rate is exspensive but you genuinely get what you pay for with this office. I’d highly recommend to anyone and everyone. He doesn’t waste time with small talk either he’s there to get the job done and get out of your pocket. I’m super happy with his counsel and I think you will be too.

She wasn't prepared for court. She had a witness on my behalf that she didn't register with the court. He showed up and couldn't testify. Brittany assured me it was a "slam dunk". I got taken in a big way. She was overly friendly with my ex-spouse's attorney in the courtroom, talking privately before the hearing.

Richard Lane provided an amazing experience for me when resolving my insurance case after I was hit by a drunk driver. Mr Lane overcame my reluctance to deal with an attorney by being forthright and patiently explaining the insurance process and how he could get it resolved. After not getting anywhere with the insurance agents for months, Mr Long was able to get everything settled very quickly so I could receive the settlement. He was very reasonable on the percentage that he accepted as payment and I would confidently recommend Richard Long for anyone who needs a lawyer for dealing with the nightmare of insurance. Thank you Richard!

My husband and I honestly believe people work for people and we were very blessed to have found Susan Eggart and her team. Susan and her team were extremely ethical and patient during what became a very lengthy and emotional adoption case of my niece after my sisters passing. Susan was always 100% committed to our case and fighting for our family. Susan consistently went above and beyond , always focused on the larger picture, respectful in the court room, and outside of the court room. Susan's calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and my family. There are no words to adequately express our gratitude to Susan and her team for all of their hard work during the course of our adoption case. We highly recommend Susan Eggart!

Good lawyer but unethical, she got me my kids but didnt fight to get me any child support to help raise them. Be sure to read your paperwork very carefully and expect to be charged for her or her staffs mistakes and double her original quote. What should have been an easy case turned into a year long process and cost over 10,000.00 after being told it could be taken care of for 4,000.00, i paid her on time the first 8,000 then she sued me for not paying the last 1,700.00 within 4 months of her finishing my case and charged me an extra 1,000 to sue me. No contact from her was just waiting for my loan and was served. Greedy and not caring at all will stretch out her work to maximize her bill.

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.
