I am immensely grateful for the exceptional legal support I received from Lisa Fabreguette, Esq. of Schoettger Fabreguette Law Office over the last three years. What initially seemed like a straightforward divorce quickly became complicated when the other party moved out of state and began making unreasonable demands. Throughout this challenging process, Lisa proved to be an invaluable ally.
From our first consultation, it was clear that Lisa possesses a deep understanding of family law and a genuine commitment to her clients. She took the time to thoroughly explain the legal nuances of my case, ensuring that I was well-informed and confident in our strategy. Her expertise and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of her work.
One of the aspects I appreciated most about Lisa was her honesty and transparency. Lisa is a straight shooter who provides a realistic assessment of the situation. She clearly outlined my options, the potential risks, and the likelihood of different outcomes. I never felt like she was telling me what I wanted to hear; instead, she painted an accurate picture of my legal standing and what I could realistically expect. This level of honesty was exactly what I needed and gave me confidence that we were making the best decisions based on the facts.
Lisa's professionalism and tenacity were crucial in navigating the complexities of my divorce. She was always well-prepared, proactive, and adept at handling unexpected developments. Her ability to remain calm and focused under pressure was truly impressive and provided me with a great sense of reassurance during stressful times.
Moreover, Lisa was not just a skilled attorney but also a compassionate and empathetic advisor. She understood the emotional toll of the situation and provided much-needed support and guidance. Her dedication to achieving a fair and just outcome was unwavering, and her negotiation skills were instrumental in reaching a favorable settlement.
I highly recommend Lisa Fabreguette, Esq. to anyone in need of expert legal assistance in family law. Her professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for her clients set her apart. Thanks to Lisa, I was able to navigate a challenging divorce process with confidence and ultimately achieve a positive resolution.
Thank you, Lisa, for your outstanding service and for being a steadfast advocate during a difficult time. I will absolutely use you again if the need arises.

It has been a pleasure working with Charlton Law. I needed representation in Idaho for a family law case, but didn't know anyone in Idaho. Fortunately, Regan took my case and delivered every step of the way. She successfully navigated our family through a complex and emotionally charged family law case. This team is proactive in their approach and their client communication. I highly recommend working with Charlton Law.

I don't have enough good things to say about Charlton Law. I came to them during an intense divorce, and they were exactly what I needed. Regan was knowledgeable and provided well thought out, calculated advice. Not only did she help me make moves to benefit the case, but she encouraged me to do so in the most cost effective way possible. Melissa and Kaitlin were also incredible. They always responded to my questions quickly and were clearly invested in the case. For anyone in the unfortunate situation of getting a divorce, do yourself a favor and give Regan a call.

Matt was amazing. I am a nurse and am not familiar with legal proceedings at all. Matt was so patient and kind while explaining things but also did not waste time. He was professional and caring. I’m so glad I had Matt in my corner. He knew exactly what to do and if I ever need representation again I wouldn’t even consider calling anyone else.

Matt was able to help me identify and resolve many issues with my divorce modification. He helped me turn around my parenting plan to where I was able to get back my kids and set up a life for me and my kids. He is a very caring person and made me feel like my issues were important.

I went in needing help with a small portion of my paperwork and he sat me down and put things in terms I could understand and even worked through the child support paperwork I was struggling with so much! He's a lifesaver! I wouldn't have been able to figure it out if it weren't for him! He was super friendly and knew what he was talking about.

Jake is the attorney you want in your corner in any high-conflict divorce and custody case. He continually put the best interest of my children and me front-and-center throughout the many twists and turns of my divorce.
This was especially true in drafting exact and precise stipulations to hold the other party accountable to avoid the court system from being manipulated or abused.
He found knowledgeable witnesses to support my case.
Through honing his skills with continuing education and experience in hostile conflict (domestic abuse) cases as well as military and veteran issues, he is able to protect his client as well as obtain favorable outcomes.
Jake’s expertise and support is an experience I am most thankful for, and will continue to be, for years to come.

Jake Hardee represented the Ex husband of a woman I dated. He was very good and she was penalized for not fulfilling her obligations in a timely manner.
Two years later I found myself in a very challenging predicament with time constraints. The associate at the firm who took my call told me Jake Hardee would be my best bet and was he ever. In record time, he was able to elequently and powerfully sumarize my situation for the judge and get me a hearing. He not only turned my situation around… He managed to clear it up.
I didnt have a chance without him. He is as good as it gets - he’s on top of the details and gave me a voice when I needed it most. His Legal assistant is also excellent. It takes a great team to do what they do and he has one. Jake’s skills speak for themselves. I am very thankful for his services and highly recommend Jake Hardee. He’s worth it.

Suzana did an amazing job dealing with my overbearing ex-husband who is an executive at a major lumber company and is accustomed to being in charge. He and his lawyer put non stop pressure on me to settle the case without a trial. Suzana encourgaed me to keep fighting for the support I was entitled to and after a full day in court we walked with nearly double what they offered and what my ex assured me numerous times was "much more than I would get in court." Throughout the process she was confident and encouraging and just all around wonderful. Thank you Suzana.

A big thank you to Stephanie for taking on and mediating my divorce situation. It started with a quick call to see if her services would fit our situation and from there we sat down with Stephanie and we were able to come to agreements on various issues. Stephanie helped explain the whole process and even helped address things that we hadn’t even thought about. We were spinning our wheels before going to Stphanie but once she took this on the whole process was done within a few short months. Very grateful for all the work Stephanie did to make this situation as painless as possible and for making everything easy to understand. The 5-star reviews do not lie, and I am adding my 5-star review to help others when they are looking for someone easy to work with and that will also provide exceptional service.

She spent extra time explaining to us what we needed and how we needed to execute it. We will always reach out to her for any of our legal needs.

We met with Ron, at Shep Law Group, for a free consultation. He was very helpful, honest and supported our needs. He was willing to suggest a next course of action, explain what our options were and give us what we needed to know if we wanted to pursue legal action or not. He was more than happy to spend time with us and give us advice even if it meant we did not move forward. I felt he was someone that was trust worthy and supportive to our issue. I will go back to Ron if we decide to move forward and I do recommend him to others.

I would strongly recommend Dan Dummar. Dan is extremely focused on his clients, as a person, and invests emotion into the case. He never missed an opportunity to make a phone call, write a letter, or do whatever necessary to go above and beyond for us. He was very calmly aggressive with situations he knew were not right and challenged individuals and decisions that were questionable. Dan is a very honest, solid and commendable person. We feel so fortunate to have had him on our side and defending our family.

Wendy was excellent. I wouldn't have prevailed without her. There is still another issue on my journey in dealing with the discrimination against by my employer that I am attempting to resolve on my own. If I am unsuccessful in my attempt to resolve this on my own then I intend to re-hire Wendy for her further assistance. Her office is extremely busy, so patience with her schedule is necessary, but well worth the time.

Ms. Earle has demonstrated her excellent skills both inside and out of the courtroom. Her communication skills have been excellent. She answers every question, and remarkably, often states the exact code or statute applicable in support of her answer. She is absolutely focused on the tasks at hand. As a type A personality myself, I can assure you of the thorough, exacting, accurate, error-free, complete, and timely work products she provides. At the same time, while she is very personable, there is no "wasting" of time to "pad" the billing and charge more in fees. I have never felt any of the fees charged have been unreasonable or exaggerated in any way. Before hiring Ms. Earle, and with an awareness she has a litigation practice, we questioned Ms. Earle about her experience. We were amazed at the amount and variety of cases as well as the levels of courts she has had very successful experiences with. Wendy replaced an attorney who did incredible damage to our interests. I didn't realize the true extent of the damage until hiring a thoroughly competent attorney, Wendy Earle. Our unfortunate situation would have been entirely different had Ms. Earle handled the issues in the first place. Lesson well learned but at a severe cost both financially and emotionally as the other attorney was well paid for her incompetence. It is without any hesitation or reservation that we absolutely recommend the hiring of Wendy Earle, Esquire to handle your needs.

Wendy,
Was professional and thorough in advising me on legal matters. She helped me understand the law based on the context of my unique situation and offered multiple legal perspectives where I could then come to my own decision. She also provided empathy and understood that legal matters are messy and that sometimes clients just need to be listened to. She answered all my questions and returned phone calls in a timeline manner. I hired her smaller office because I like professionals that provide individualized attention to complex matters instead of outsourcing staff to do their work for them. I was pleased with the case outcome, so much so that I would hire this attorney again.

Ryan Henson and Millie Ibarra with Bevis, Thiry, Henson & Katz helped our family with a sensitive family law matter. They were patient, kind and available to answer our many questions. They guided us through the unknown and complexities of the legal system. They helped us understand the criminal proceedings and how best to engage with the Prosecuting Attorney's Office. They were strong advocates for our daughter and grandson. Ryan was open with his communication and helped us be prepared for each step through the lengthy legal proceedings. Millie was there to help us understand with dedicated ongoing, open communication. Phil and Krista also provided their views and assisted when needed. They are an excellent, dedicates team. We highly recommend them when you need a strong advocate with experience.

I had the privilege of working with Michael Johnson on my divorce case recently. Throughout the process, Michael demonstrated exceptional skill in guiding me through what was often a challenging and contentious negotiation. Not only did he bring his extensive knowledge of family law to the table, but he also helped me grasp what was fair and equitable in my case.
There were moments when the emotional weight of the situation felt overwhelming, yet Michael's empathetic approach provided much-needed support. Despite it not being explicitly part of his job, he took the time to help me navigate the difficult emotions and realities associated with divorce proceedings. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to find peace with the outcome and move forward with confidence.
Michael's professionalism and compassion truly made a difference during this trying time. I have the utmost confidence in him and recommend him without hesitation. He exceeded my expectations, and I am grateful for his support throughout the entire process.

Michael Johnson was able to take on an extremely complicated case on short notice and complete what was requested in a reasonable period of time. I had spent a bunch of money with another law firm who kept saying they were doing things but never actually doing what was asked. Michael picked up the case and was able to figure out what was going on and complete what was requested in the amount of time requested and did it for an extremely reasonable price! I've had over a dozen attorneys to date and definitely the best by far! Highly professional and recommended for anyone that wants to make sure they're getting the most value for their money!

My wife and I hired Michael to facilitate the adoption of our grand-daughter. A few years prior, we had a different lawyer help us establish guardianship of her and we were not at all pleased with that lawyer so, needless to say, we were skeptical of lawyers prior to meeting with Michael. In our first meeting, Michael told us what to expect in this process from beginning to end and stated his fee up front and advised us to expect a few other court costs as well. Everything he said on day one is pretty much how the entire process unfolded. No unexpected charges or unexpected hoops to jump through. A lot had to be done to accomplish the adoption, but none of it was unexpected. Also, Michael was very patient with us, answered phone calls or returned them promptly and always answered emails promptly. For our needs and expectations, Michael was and will be a great asset. We plan on using him again early next year for some estate planning. Highly recommended.

Mandy Davis of this law firm handled the sale of my property in salmon, idaho, for alliance title.
Her failures to inform us of essential information resulted in weeks of delays and a sale price reduction of thousands of dollars to keep the buyer. It took dozens of emails & phone calls asking her what forms she needed with her replying with only the generic title, which we ultimately had to determine on our own. She lacked common knowledge about probate laws and refused to do anything to help us or figure it out herself. I don’t know if she is a lawyer but i will pass this on as a complaint to the state bar association about this law firm.

I'm not one to write reviews, but I have to say Sean Bartholick will give you the best representation you can get. His Integrity far exceeds your anticipation of what an attorney should be. He answered all my questions and gave me possible outcomes. He kept me up to date of what the next steps would be. Put your trust into Yessica and Sean, they have your back. In a court of law nothing is certain, but you can bet Sean will go to bat for you again and again. He doesn't settle until the best possible outcome can be reached for you. If you don't go with Sean, your crazy. Thanks Sean!

Jake is the attorney you want in your corner in any high-conflict divorce and custody case. He continually put the best interest of my children and me front-and-center throughout the many twists and turns of my divorce.
This was especially true in drafting exact and precise stipulations to hold the other party accountable to avoid the court system from being manipulated or abused.
He found knowledgeable witnesses to support my case.
Through honing his skills with continuing education and experience in hostile conflict (domestic abuse) cases as well as military and veteran issues, he is able to protect his client as well as obtain favorable outcomes.
Jake’s expertise and support is an experience I am most thankful for, and will continue to be, for years to come.

Jake Hardee represented the Ex husband of a woman I dated. He was very good and she was penalized for not fulfilling her obligations in a timely manner.
Two years later I found myself in a very challenging predicament with time constraints. The associate at the firm who took my call told me Jake Hardee would be my best bet and was he ever. In record time, he was able to elequently and powerfully sumarize my situation for the judge and get me a hearing. He not only turned my situation around… He managed to clear it up.
I didnt have a chance without him. He is as good as it gets - he’s on top of the details and gave me a voice when I needed it most. His Legal assistant is also excellent. It takes a great team to do what they do and he has one. Jake’s skills speak for themselves. I am very thankful for his services and highly recommend Jake Hardee. He’s worth 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.
