I was involved in a really bad situation that would've cost me points on my license and a misdemeanor on my record. The court appointed me an Attorney who told me that the D.A. wasn't willing to negotiate and I should just accept having points on my license and a criminal offense on my record. I thought about it and told him " I'll think about it".. The next day I said a prayer and God told me " Get an Attorney, who isn't court appointed !!! ". I searched the internet and came across " The Law Office of Kenneth Mollins". After reading the awesome reviews , I gave them a call. I spoke with Tim and he assured me that he will keep fighting until I got the best deal available. He kept fighting for me until I walked away with an offer of no points on my license, a traffic ticket, and a reasonable amount of time to pay it. I highly recommend their Law Office because they are extremely knowledgeable, competent, helpful, affordable and they patiently address any questions or concerns you may have as a client. They will always be my go to Law Firm.

Olivier and his Paralegal Stephanie did an outstanding job with our immigration issues. The process was smooth, efficient and professional and we received the exact outcome we wanted. Throughout the process, there was constant transparency and communication to resolve our issues. Highly recommend Roche Law Group to anyone who needs help with USCIS or immigration related issues.

I have recently used Mr. Roche for a personal injury case, and was completely blown away by the exceptional work that was done in my favor. Many times with personal injury cases it can become a huge headache, however, having Roche Law Group handle my case was the best decision ever. I would easily recommend this firm to anyone seeking justice with personal injury cases. They definitely put their best foot forward at all times in this office. Easy 10 out of 10 for sure!! Thank you so much for your hard work. Referrals will forever poor in!

Having to navigate a divorce this past year was tough, I was rocked and didn’t know where to turn. Robert Montefusco and his office will “have your back”, are always willing to explain the process step by step and will fight for you. I couldn’t highly recommend a practice more that works with you and listens to your concerns. He is by far the best!

After having a lawyer that i felt didn't adequately represent me and had put me in a tough situation. Robert had taken on the case in my opinion on the losing team and was able to represent me and my daughter with our needs as top priority. Also having the case concluded after trial he had throughly reviewed the results and found an error. Then reached out to proceed with correcting the courts error. I couldn’t be happier with the practice and all staff!

STOP! Do Not Look Any Further! Robert is your man!
I have been dealing with my ex and her family literally since my son was born in 2011 and them trying relentlessly to get full custody of him. After the first three court fights with a different attorney and trying to appease demands and doing what was best for my son, that still was not good enough.
During my 3rd court fight in 2018, I reached out to Robert because I realized this was not going to stop. Even though I had another attorney at the time, I placed a retainer with Robert as well. I knew I would need someone more aggressive for a bigger fight that would come in the future. I wanted Robert to be familiar with my case and to plan for it. Well, that 4th fight came this year (2023-2024), and HE DID NOT DISAPPOINT!
Robert has the right balance of aggressiveness, exceptional knowledge, firmness, and negotiating skills. But if push comes to shove, just put your feet up, sit back, and watch! He will NEVER let you be bullied or give an inch on what you legally deserve. So much so, during this 4th court fight, Robert was able to modify my previous court orders (in favor of me), while the opposition filed custody petitions, enforcement petitions, and modification petitions. All of which failed!
Robert is still on retainer! Because as of today, the next time/the LAST TIME/the most important time...will be on our terms! Already preparing.
DO NOT LOOK ANY FURTHER!!!!
Thank you, Mr. Montefusco and Maureen! You truly are who you say you are!
Sincerely, Mr. Hampton

Chris Chimeri and John Whiteman are two excellent attorneys who helped me, guided me, and made me comfortable every step of the way in my divorce case. John Whiteman ran with my case and brought it to a very successful conclusion, I couldn’t have asked for better representation or a better outcome. Also my thanks to their support staff specifically Shawneice Belin who went above and beyond to help me navigate through this entire process. I would absolutely use Quatela and Chimeri again for any of my legal needs and would highly recommend them to anyone I know in need of legal services.

My attorney, John P. Whiteman is an excellent attorney of the highest caliber. I utilized John’s services for my divorce case and would highly recommend him to anyone I know in need of a divorce attorney. John was extremely helpful, advised me very well throughout the case, and consistently kept me in the loop. He was realistic and down to earth, very easy to talk to and relate to. He always provided the best advice while not being overly pushy at the same time. He proved himself to be very knowledgeable and was always in my corner. He was aggressive when i needed him to be but also calm and easy for the other side to deal when needed. In the end he did an amazing job for me and i would highly recommend him to anyone i know in need of his services. An excellent attorney and a great guy !!

I retained Ian for both child support and custody. In child support he was able to set my child support at a number way less than what I should be paying. I hired Ian to represent me in custody, he answers every phone call and every text. During the process I never felt alone. If I got frustrated and carried away he would make sure that I would remain professional and would not tolerate it. Because of him I now I have a set schedule with my children, he stopped my narcissistic children’s mother from controlling and manipulating everything she could get her hands on. Thanks to Ian my kids have stability and they can be in their father’s life without having any issues. Ian is a man of hard work and he doesn’t stop until you get what you want.

We have never needed an attorney for a personal situation before. LaToya came recommended to us. We described this challenging situation that required a Stay away order from our home and business. We had a call with LaToya, and she listened to the whole story, asking questions. At no time was she selling her service but offered potential paths forward. We hired her right away. She took charge of the situation, paperwork, court meetings and answered questions every step of the way. We just concluded the matter successfully. If you find yourself in a situation that requires a smart, engaged and empathetic attorney, you should call and speak to LaToya, you will be impressed with her professional attitude and focused results.

I highly recommend Chris as a divorce lawyer. After dealing with several lawyers in the past, I was reluctant to hire anyone and even attempted to represent myself. However, after those attempts failed, I had no choice but to seek professional help. I’m so glad I found Chris. He managed my child support case with incredible professionalism and expertise. Chris was thorough and knowledgeable about the law, ensuring that every detail was addressed with care. Throughout the process, he consistently communicated with me, keeping me informed about what was happening at every step. Chris made every effort to avoid a trial, showing respect for all parties involved while advocating for my best interests. When the trial did take place, Chris completed it with impressive efficiency, making the entire process as smooth as possible. I couldn’t have asked for better representation.

Had the pleasure of working with John Caffrey with regards to my legal issues. John is extremely diligent, professional, efficient, knowledgable, and was able to reduce my penalties to the bare minimum in a timely manner.
His fees are more than fair considering the services he is able to provide whilst utilizing his decades of experience in law. If I am ever in need of any form of legal assistance again in the future, I will not hesitate to contact John Caffrey. Thank you again John!

I highly recommend John Caffrey to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation. He handled my case, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the outcome.
John Caffrey showed unmatched professionalism throughout this process. He was always on time for every meeting and court appearance as well as being organized in managing the details of my case. John showed that he actually cared about my situation and worked tirelessly to achieve the best possible resolution.
John took his time out to walk me through my situation by making sure I was very informed about what was going on every step of the way. He always took time to address my concerns that I relayed to him. John is very good with his communication.
If you’re looking for a lawyer who is reliable, genuinely cares about their clients, and will fight for a fair outcome John Caffrey is the one for you!
I am overly thankful for his dedication and time that he has poured into my case. I would recommend him without ANY hesitation!

I went through a divorce involving children. It was a very difficult time in my life. I was very nervous at the prospect of losing my children. Hiring chris as my attorney was one the best decision I ever made. It didn't seem to be just a job to him. He was very responsive, always getting back to me quickly and answering my questions or concerns even if my questions were goofy. Not only was he compassionate to the situation but the outcome was better than what I had hoped. If you are going through a divorce, make your situation better and call chris.

I contacted Christopher on recommendation when my mother, after being separated from my father for many years, had received divorce papers. What made the situation more complicated was that my mother had also been recently diagnosed with advanced stage cancer. Christopher, Beatrice, and the rest of the staff were very understanding and handled the case with the utmost professionalism and empathy. When my mother passed a few months later, before the divorce was finalized, I received condolences along with a refund on the balance of the deposit that was not used, reinforcing the honesty in which they carried themselves throughout. I recommend this team with full confidence that they will continue to be honest and professional when handling your case.

Having been in a 14 year marriage with children involved, I knew that getting a divorce would be extremely difficult, and I‘d have a tedious, emotional road ahead of me. I also knew that finding an experienced lawyer was vital. Upon our first consultation I immediately knew I wanted Christopher Palermo to represent me. His approachable, respectful demeanor and knowledgeable, upfront, honest nature gave me confidence.
There were times in my situation that I had to make hard and bold decisions. Chris always kept things in perspective for me, reminding me to be strong. I trusted his guidance completely and Chris always delivered in the courtroom.
Chris responded to my e-mails within 24 hours, sometimes within the hour. If he was in court, Chris’s knowledgeable and informative staff, Beatrice and Riley, would get right back to me and they were always extremely helpful.
In the end, I came out of the divorce with EVERYTHING I wanted. The final agreement was fair and reasonable. I highly recommend Christopher Palermo. I wish I could give him higher than a 5 star rating because he is both a wonderful person and lawyer. I am forever grateful!!!

This is the 2d time I hired Aniella for a Family Court case. She hand-held me throughout the scary family court process. She explained the law to me and what was happening in court. She also explained her strategy to me, so I understood what she was doing. Her strategy worked out perfectly and I am thrilled with the results. She is the best.

Aniella was my lawyer in my first divorce, then in family court over a child support issue with first ex, then in an immigration case, and now in my second divorce. I am so satisfied with her services that I have gone back to her over and over again. Even when each of my cases were over, she would always return my calls. I am impressed with her legal knowledge and her manner with clients.

I first contacted Nicole upon recommendation of a friend as I was looking for an attorney to help with the separation between me and my husband. Upon my first conversation with Nicole, I immediately felt that she was exactly who I was looking for in an attorney! Nicole guided me every step of the way and I felt at ease to discuss some very personal issues with her that I was dealing with. She was professional every step of the way and extremely personable and empathetic which made the entire process stress free. Because of her easy-going nature while remaining professional at all times, everything moved a long very smoothly without any problems between myself and my husband!
When we were ready to finalize our separation, Nicole was very accommodating in arranging the day and time my husband and I could meet with her as we all had different schedules. Even though we had an evening appointment, we were never rushed. Nicole took her time in reviewing the separation agreement thoroughly with us and answered all the questions that we had. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone. She will surely help you on all levels and the end result will be exactly what you are seeking!

We had to obtain Mrs. Brodsky to help my daughter obtain custody of our granddaughter. Mra. Brodsky went above and beyond to help ease the stress of this situation, taking calls quickly, responding to emails quickly and advocating for us to the Judge. The entire process went smooth and she prepared my daughter extremely well for the situation. I would highly recommend Mrs. Brodsky for your needs.

Chris knows the system and the people involved on all sides and how to deal with them. He is well respected in the criminal justice community.
He helped my son out of a very difficult situation. I found him to be an honest broker and not someone who makes promises that he can't keep. Good legal representation doesn't cost... it pays by sparing a defendant many years of Jail time.

I was charged with a DWI, the cops said I was drunk, but I wasn't. Chris was able to have the charges dismissed after hearings. He was very well versed in the law, made me feel like part of his family. I had access to him 24 hrs a day via phone, text and email.. He always took my calls. I would recommend this attorney to anyone in trouble.

I think Chris G is a great guy, he saved me from going to jail for a long time. Chris diligently worked on my case, visited me in the jail and kept my family and I informed about the status of my case. I never had trouble getting in touch with Chris and neither did my family. Chris told me, his goal was to foster a family atmosphere in his firm for his clients; my family and I now consider him a long lost cousin. Use this attorney, he will not let you down. Jason F.

Having to navigate a divorce this past year was tough, I was rocked and didn’t know where to turn. Robert Montefusco and his office will “have your back”, are always willing to explain the process step by step and will fight for you. I couldn’t highly recommend a practice more that works with you and listens to your concerns. He is by far the best!

After having a lawyer that i felt didn't adequately represent me and had put me in a tough situation. Robert had taken on the case in my opinion on the losing team and was able to represent me and my daughter with our needs as top priority. Also having the case concluded after trial he had throughly reviewed the results and found an error. Then reached out to proceed with correcting the courts error. I couldn’t be happier with the practice and all staff!

STOP! Do Not Look Any Further! Robert is your man!
I have been dealing with my ex and her family literally since my son was born in 2011 and them trying relentlessly to get full custody of him. After the first three court fights with a different attorney and trying to appease demands and doing what was best for my son, that still was not good enough.
During my 3rd court fight in 2018, I reached out to Robert because I realized this was not going to stop. Even though I had another attorney at the time, I placed a retainer with Robert as well. I knew I would need someone more aggressive for a bigger fight that would come in the future. I wanted Robert to be familiar with my case and to plan for it. Well, that 4th fight came this year (2023-2024), and HE DID NOT DISAPPOINT!
Robert has the right balance of aggressiveness, exceptional knowledge, firmness, and negotiating skills. But if push comes to shove, just put your feet up, sit back, and watch! He will NEVER let you be bullied or give an inch on what you legally deserve. So much so, during this 4th court fight, Robert was able to modify my previous court orders (in favor of me), while the opposition filed custody petitions, enforcement petitions, and modification petitions. All of which failed!
Robert is still on retainer! Because as of today, the next time/the LAST TIME/the most important time...will be on our terms! Already preparing.
DO NOT LOOK ANY FURTHER!!!!
Thank you, Mr. Montefusco and Maureen! You truly are who you say you are!
Sincerely, Mr. Hampton

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.
