I recently had to go through a divorce which is a very emotional process. I considered the possibility of filling out all the paperwork with my husband at the time. It was overwhelming to me. I decided to hire a lawyer, Jennifer E. Flatow. Well worth the cost. She wasted no time, made sure all the information needed was gathered, and was sensitive to my feelings throughout. Jennifer is a "down to earth" gal, not a slick distant snooty lawyer. I felt comfortable talking with her. In addition, she was courtesy towards my ex-husband which was important to me. I will always be grateful for her helping hands during a very difficult transition.

The Weinberg & Cooper Law Firm was more than I expected. Their service was swift and precise. The woman power in that office speaks volumes. They are a group of exceptional women who get you the results you need. It was an emotional roller coaster for me my case, but these ladies put my mind at ease and helped through the finish line. If you ever need a law firm to represent you make sure you look them up. You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much!!!!!!!

Genevieve represented me in my uncontested divorce case, which involved no kids. She was very clear and patient, always ensuring I understood the divorce process and remaining transparent throughout our entire engagement. Her openness kept me informed and at ease.
She was my biggest advocate. She made sure she heard my story and helped me be creative during my alimony and asset divisions. I was the higher earner, and we built a strong case that I didn't have to pay alimony.
I highly recommend her, especially if you're looking for either separation and/or an uncontested divorce process.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to my lawyer Genevieve who showed a deep understanding of my personal situation and demonstrated empathy throughout the legal process. Right from the beginning of this case, I was advised step by step from getting Restraining Order to finalizing my Divorce. She genuinely care about achieving a positive outcome for me, she also is available to answer your questions and keep you informed of the status of the matter on a consistent basis. I acknowledge her deep knowledge and expertise in the field. She stuck by me through the entire process in dealing with this very stressful case. I admire her composure, work ethic and most of all excellent representation. This helped me a great deal to get through this difficult time.

I can’t say enough good things about Genevieve. She has been an absolute lifesaver for me during one of my life’s most stressful and challenging times. Dealing with difficult ex-in-laws was a nightmare, but Genevieve took charge from day one, and I instantly felt a weight lifted off my shoulders.
Genevieve isn’t just a brilliant lawyer—she’s also incredibly compassionate. She truly cares about her clients and made me feel heard and supported every step of the way. Whenever I felt overwhelmed or anxious, she calmed me down, explained everything clearly, and gave me the confidence to keep going.
The detail and effort she puts into her work are remarkable. Genevieve doesn’t miss a thing, and it’s obvious she’s passionate about what she does. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, she won all of my cases, and I’m finally able to move forward with my life.
Genevieve has become my family; I’m so grateful to have had her by my side. If you need a family lawyer who will treat you like more than just a client, Genevieve is the one. She’s the best lawyer I’ve ever worked with, and I couldn’t recommend her and her team more highly.

I was in search for a long-term disability attorney & I am so grateful I found Mr.Quiat & Mr. Zelkowitz.
Mr. Quiat took the time in our initial meeting to listen and understand my situation.
He and Mr. Zelkowitz are very thorough and always responsive to questions and concerns.
They are dependable, extremely experienced, diligent, detailed oriented and very professional.
Needless to say, they successfully represented me with my claim.
I have tremendous confidence in their abilities and highly recommend Mr. Quiat, Mr, Zelkowitz and the entire team at Uscher, Quiat, Uscher & Russo.

Joel Zelkowitz is very dedicated to helping out. On 3 separate occasions he reviewed different concerns I had and got back to me with honest feedback without charging me a dime.
He did thorough research to see if his efforts can be worthwhile to me and then sincerely declined taking on my case because he couldn't figure out a way to help me.
I truly hope that other attorneys are like him that make the first priority to assist the client honestly and with 100% empathy and sincerity.

This team deserves way more than 5 stars.
I hardly know where to begin to express my immense gratitude for everyone at the offices of Tomasella and Vacca. Im not sure how to adequately convey my appreciation for this team. This firm genuinely cares about me and my three children.
I have been navigating a very difficult and highly contested divorce that dragged on unnecessarily for over two years. Throughout this period, I faced numerous false allegations, multiple restraining orders, and countless trials and hearings. Victoria was there for it all and knew exactly how to handle my case. I couldn't have asked for better representation, its amazing to see someone work so well in their element.
Thanks to Victoria Tomasella and her team, I was able to achieve exactly what I wanted from the divorce. Victoria Tomasella knew the nuances of my case even better than I did, making me feel as though I was her only client. She was highly professional and extremely prompt in returning all my calls and emails.
Victoria Tomasella exceeded my expectations, and for that, I am profoundly grateful. This amazing team has allowed me to move forward with my life, maintain access to my children, and ultimately achieve the outcome I was hoping for with my divorce.
I would highly recommend this firm.

Victoria Tomasella delivered on what she told me from day one, that i would get 50/50 custody of my daughters. No matter what the other side threw our way, Victoria was quick to advise me on how to respond. When it was obvious the other side was delaying the process, Victoria knew exactly how to handle them and how to make them settle and put a close to this case. I would recommend Victoria to anyone in need of her services.

I had a domestic violence case in which I was the plaintiff and the only one with a attorney. My case took a little over a year to resolve. My experience with Mr. Banks is a nice guy but there are many things I experienced throughout my case that just shouldn’t of happened. I was on the stand for testimony for about 10 months for a few text messages that were not domestic violence related.
Mr. Banks let the judge be the Defendant’s paralegal and help her throughout the case. When it’s time for us to put the defendant on the stand in which we had numerous strong evidence against her breaking the law, he asks me to voluntarily dismiss the case. My parenting time got taken away just from an false accusation from the defendant in which I told Mr. Banks the judge and the defendant were wrong and tried to explain it to him in court at the present time and Mr. Banks didn’t listen to me until after i we left the court room then he realized I was right. Even though I did get back my parenting time I lost and the judge apologized, it should of never happened.
I typed up about a 40 page timeline of the domestic violence history and videos for Mr. Banks. There are times he came to the court unprepared without the correct paperwork and the videos, luckily I always carried my own copies to court. You could tell he didn’t look over the paperwork to be prepared, I had to walk him through the timeline in court for cross examination because he free styled the questions for the defendant.
I could go into more things that happened over the course of my experience with Mr. Banks but to sum it all up I think he could of did a much better job on my case.

I must disagree with many of the posts I have read. While the law practice helped resolve my case, the office frequently failed to respond in a timely manner and Ms. Carrion (yes, embarrassing name!), the clerk, was neither efficient - got hearing dates muddled up repeatedly - nor pleasant to deal with. The lawyer can be downright condescending, and if anyone is reading this, I suggest s/he think twice before picking this law practice.

Everything was filed quickly but they said “the court doesn’t provide updates” many times when asked.
Almost a year into my process, my ex heard from a friend that their divorce was finalized in less than two months and then she tried calling the court to get information, she was then told our divorce was finalized 7 months prior.
I went to court and was able to get the final decree, but still haven’t been notified by my lawyers that I’m divorced…

Not going to lie, they are quick with starting the divorce process but it has been almost 8 months and my divorce still isn't finalized...and I was told my divorce should be finalized from 6-7 months, then they pushed it back and told me it is now 6-8months. What's next, a year? I ask for an update and I get told that they will get back to me and they never get back to me. These reviews did get my hopes up unfortunately. I just want this process over with already.

My divorce dragged on for 2 years with my old attorney. I must admit despair and frustration was all I was feeling. My girlfriend told me about a fantastic attorney she had used. I called immediately. My new attorney, Mr. Jeff Hodge, is without a doubt, one of the best attorneys I've ever dealt with as well as one of the sweetest people I know. Within literally one month from hiring him the divorce is now over. Thank you Jeff for your professionalism, effectiveness, and your gentle and calm manner. You are truly the best!!!

Scott is a knowledgeable person with great ethics, sympathy towards his clients and he comes across as a human with understanding your situation. I, myself, have been going through an ugly divorce and Scott has been able to handle the anger, mess, retaliation from the other side by arguing the point of law in my favor. I will recommend him with certainty, knowing he can take on any task before him.

From our initial consultation to the final settlement, he demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal complexities involved, always offering clear and practical advice tailored to my situation.
His dedication to my case was evident in his thorough preparation and strategic approach, which ultimately led to a favorable outcome. He was always available to ease my anxieties during what was undoubtedly a challenging time.

My divorce dragged on for 2 years with my old attorney. I must admit despair and frustration was all I was feeling. My girlfriend told me about a fantastic attorney she had used. I called immediately. My new attorney, Mr. Jeff Hodge, is without a doubt, one of the best attorneys I've ever dealt with as well as one of the sweetest people I know. Within literally one month from hiring him the divorce is now over. Thank you Jeff for your professionalism, effectiveness, and your gentle and calm manner. You are truly the best!!!

Rosemary N. Gushiken is very professional, responsive, and caring through the whole process of planning our wills. She was extremely helpful and made sure we understood everything that was involved in the process and responded to all our emails promptly. Me and my husband’s schedule is very hectic during the week, so Rosemary took time out to meet with us on Saturday now that’s real customer service. I would highly recommend her.

I was referred to this law office to work with a different attorney, who unfortunately had a full case load. The company assigned Mr. Gerber to me. When I spoke to him I went over the actions I needed help with and was told he could do it. Unluckily the motions and answers I needed filed with the court were never done. I'm actually in a worse situation than I was before I went to him because I've lost money not only by retaining Mr. Gerber, but also lost money with the mediator and other irrecoverable fees. I cannot recommend this attorney to anyone involved in a domestic violence case or who has a special needs child. He just doesn't get it.

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.
