Do not make the mistake and hire Audra Asher.🌈She will 100% do an incomplete investigation and steal your money.(FACT). She proposed to suspend my parental rights AND I HAD DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG TO MY CHILDREN. Looks like other MEN gave a 1 ⭐️. I’m Currently preparing a detailed proposal to the Kansas Disciplinary Committee. If Audra wants to propose to have my parental rights suspended for “Whatever reason”, I hope the Kansas Disciplinary Committee suspends her license for incompetence, diligence, and communication. Audra should not be treating fathers in a manner that she treated myself nor my children. Kansas attorney’s MUST follow Ethics and under Rule 226, 1.1, 1.3, and 1.4 she has failed miserably.
Audra Asher knows that..
1. Mother is on welfare and does not have a steady income and is not able to pay attorney fees.
2. I have a successful business in Texas, and able to provide for my children without welfare, and I am able to pay Attorney fees.
Because of this Audra Asher decided not to do what was for “the best interest of the children” and instead take the mother’s side (Even with all of the criminal activity). Because Audra Asher knows that I will continue to fight for the best interest of the children, therefore, Audra thought she could make attorney fees from myself. Audra Asher knows that mother is not able to pay attorney fees. (Let’s take away the father’s rights, Because the father will pay to have his rights restored, Disgusting!)
This is how Audra Asher Looks in a hearing “For the best interest of the children”. Stretched out T-shirt, sitting on a couch. Very unprofessional to say the least. Just a big fish and a small pond.
Audra you owe me a refund!

Please do not make the mistake i made by hiring Audra Asher, she is not professional has no integrity and will take your money tell you what you want to hear and then do nothing and then have her secretary tell you she will not do any of the filings you have contracted her for. I hired Audra to file 2 petitions with the state and county and she did not do then, i have email documentation of the many times i emailed her asking her of the progress i was met with with very short and kurt and unprofessional replies, SHe claimed to have been getting ready to file some probation papers for me with a judge on July 25th 2023 and i sent her two emails before that date asking about the status of the filing, I got two automated replies saying she was out of town, i sent a third email after the 25th asking what the status was and that it was unprofessional of her to not o what she said she was going to do and to not have replied to me, i was then ignored until early november when i tried to set a meeting with Don Anderson to inquire about the status of them filings, Don refused to see me and Audra had the secretary tell me she would not be working with me. Audra is so unprofessional she could not even tell me personally or send an email.
I probably should have seen this coming because Audra was a terrible attorney for the charges i had, Audra missed a bail reduction hearing while i was in jail waiting for a trial. Audra seems to be too worried about being a part of the "Good Ole Boys Club" than she is being a good attorney that fights for her clients. it seems her strategy is to let you sit in jail until the Prosecutor gets bored. There was one gentlemen i was in jail with and he had been in jail for over a year waiting for Audra to actually do her job and get him released on a case and that had already been plea bargained out.
Please avoid Audra Asher at all costs she will not fight for you, i think he only attribute is riding Don's coat tails, using his reputation to squeak by, her act of being cute and smiling for the judge and prosecutor is only going to be useful for anther couple of years at best.

I called and the woman that answered said that my boyfriend has to be charged with a crime and the Sheriff has his camera futidge and statements about the crime that the owner thinks that it's a crime and I wanted to talk to this Attorney and it's awful if you can't even talk to Donald Anderson because we want
Employment Disagreements case, Defense Attorney, family Attorney and more but you can't even help anyone about that? Because the woman that answered the phone says that there isn't a case that they can't help anyone about unless he's charged with so crime and I really hope that Donald E. Anderson Attorney's can read this and understand that she has dismissed me about my boyfriends case.

Mr. Boeckman is a different breed of lawyers, one of the most kind and compassionate humans, none the less lawyers, I have ever spoken with. He helped me in every way he could and informed me of the legal process in a way I could easily understand it. He addressed all of my concerns and was very patient and understanding the whole way through. It was not a hard case that I had but very few lawyers would actually consult or listen to what I had to say. One lawyer was going to charge me seven times the amount that Boeckman did. He is an incredibly reasonable person, I am beyond grateful that he was willing to help me.

I worked with Mr. Boeckman for a child custody modification & had a wonderful experience! Mr. Boeckman always kept me informed, had incredible communication and guided me through the whole process with ease. I felt confident in his hands! The case went way quicker than I ever expected, which was a direct result of his hard work on the case! We are so grateful to have worked with Mr. Boeckman and would recommend him to all!

Dirty, twisted, corrupt, and evil people every one of them. Totally and fully under the control of Earl Moses and buried in his back pocket. Think of this law office as the personal legal attack dogs that Earl Moses and Moses Properties can sick on whoever he wants with no consequences at all whatsoever. If there's any reviews on here higher than a 1 star, then they were bought and paid reviews.

Remington should be investigated due to him being, he will padden charges, and also allow law enforcement to lie under oath then he won't even make sure everything gets investigated. And if there's anything that he shows in court best believe it will be edited which is illegal he will add and take away what people say just to try to incriminate you. For 2 years he has been holding someone in jail that is and wouldn't even give him a chance to clear his name.

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.
