Lynne took my case under a very difficult circumstance and was able to provide outstanding advice and counsel on the merits. We remained principled and at no time yielded to pressure from the opposing attorneys. I would highly recommend Lynne's work and professional demeanor should you find it necessary to prepare for divorce proceedings.

CPT McCoslin helped me secure a medical retirement at my Army Physical Evaluation Board. Now I will have a pension and health care for the remainder of my life. Although he represents hundreds of Soldiers, he made me feel as if I was his only client. I wish there were more Officers like in him in the Army.

I don't know why she was cited for professional misconduct but I will never go to court withour her.
when she took my case I was down, my previous lawyer quit and I could only see my son 4 or 5 days of the months, after a long 4 years and $17K in lawyer fees my divorce was final, I had a 50/50 possession and all the lies from my ex-wife and her fancy, liar & expense lawyer were undo in court by Ms Greely. BTW my ex-wife's lawyer fees over $70K.
Ms Greely did this not only one but twice, one for the divorce and one more time 18 months after the final divorce against another fancy liar lawyer .
Ms. Greely never charged me extra 1 penny, she never lie to me, she never was unprepared in court, on the contrary she won most of the arguments in Court and finally she won the case for me twice
Thank you Ms Greely

I found Mr. Anderson to be very knowledgeable in all aspects of the law. He kept me informed of everything going on and was a pleasure to work with. Everything was accomplished in a very timely and professional manner, while still showing concern for feelings. He definitely tries to look out for the best interest of his client while still abiding by the laws.

I've had many attorneys. High conflict X, I've had 6 attorneys slam their hands on desk stating they will protect my rights as a father. Over the 5 years I've maintained my rights 4/6 days a month. When I went to Stacey Puls, this overwhelming comfort that I've never felt. She's stands strong and guided me to the direction of getting primary custody of my 9 year old child. I'm very thankful she was put in my path but my daughters most important years of life. Stacey you are amazing. Thank you for always guiding me in the direction to happiness. If your a father looking to protect your rights. This is your attorney. Loyal parents matter. The child loves both Mom and Dad.

Ashley is a winner! She was extremely well prepared for my hearing. She worked very hard on every detail of my case, even on Sundays and after-hours. She helped me understand the process, and made me feel very comfortable communicating with her. She replied to all my emails and phone calls almost instantaneously. She listened to my concerns and incorporated my suggestions. As our case progressed, I trusted her 100%, and I was confident she was going to win. And she won! Most importantly, Ashley is a nice person; I felt that she really cared about my case. Additionally, Ashley and her paralegal Sylvia are excellent team. When Ashley is not available, Sylvia is always ready to help. Sylvia is particularly respectful, professional and also nice. Overall, highly recommended attorney!

Ashlee handled my divorce for me three years ago. This was an extremely stressful time and she was very helpful in walking me through the process and preparing me for all the necessary steps that I would have to go through. She was excellent in drafting all the documents and making sure that I was involved in the process and making sure my needs and wants were met. It was definitely a relief having such a wonderful, and professional attorney during that time.

Ms. Premazon did an excellent job getting things done for my family. She was able to sort through our uncertainties, helped us make good decisions and got documents done and filed promptly. Knowing these legal details are handled is a great relief for us. Mom and Dad are able to relax knowing affairs are in order. My sister will be calling her soon for another matter. I definitely would recommend Edith Premazon for your legal needs. She communicates clearly and we knew exactly what to expect, knew what fees were and what steps to take next. Knowledgeable and professional. Glad we chose her.

I had the chance to work with a couple of lawyers before working with Ms. Kuenstle and I would have to say that my experience was night and day. She was very knowledgeable and willing to point out case law to support her position. She was always willing to fight for me during my case. I would work with Nicole again if given the chance and I would recommend her as a family attorney.

I started working with her and she placed me on a payment plan. Everything went as planned. She gave me directions on what I needed to do to get the case moving forward and I obeyed them to the exact specification. In less than 5 months I was divorced. There's really nothing negative I could possibly say about Angelica Landa. We went before the judge and everything was granted. It's difficult to believe the other reviews I see on here. There's only so much an attorney can do and a lot of responsibility falls on the person seeking legal help. I can only offer my experience with Ms. Landa and everything worked out timely and well to my overall satisfaction.

Kevin provided us a with legal services related to a premarital agreement. We appreciated his commitment to our needs, his independence in providing us with both sides of the picture and his professionalism in meeting our objectives and our timeline. We are impressed that he has not missed a single deadline (including one draft sent on a day on which he was obviously unwell - but he put in the time to get the draft to us to keep his promise). Kevin is not just a legal counsel - but truly a risk manager who looks at possible outcomes that we may not have thought of or thought through and then presents them frankly and easy to comprehend. We definitely recommend him and will look to other opportunities to engage his services when we need legal help. He was honest and very transparent about his time spent.

Of all of the Professionals I have dealt with in the past Heather Daniels is the best. She is a truly incredible attorney. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable and informative, she really cares about her clients and it shows. She is tough and strong when required and has empathy and understanding when needed. I cannot say enough, she has helped my children and I during the most difficult and trying times in our lives. She translates the law and legal happenings to where you can understand and feel like you know what is happening.

I went to Ms. Hall seeking visitation for my children. Not only did Ms. Hall get my visitation back started, she also assisted me in getting sole custody of my boys. I recommend Ms. Hall if you are like me and wanting to play a role in your kid's life and an ex wife is not letting you. we kept missing each other on the phone, but Ms. Hall responded to each and every one of my emails. I will use her in the future.

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.
