I can not begin to express my gratitude and gratefulness with my overall experience with Karyn Washington and her services. To state that my court coals and support during the process were more than satisfactory, would be an understatement. Her professionalism and promptness were above and beyond. Exemplary performance in her research, knowledge and guidance. I would recommend her services with the highest regards.

When my partner and I realized we were going to have to hire an attorney for our family court case it was very important to us that we find one with empathy, kindness, and a passion for protecting children from the worst impulses of a high-conflict ex. We searched high and low, took multiple introductory calls with several attorneys, but when we discovered Attorney Karyn Washington we instantly felt at home. Through the entire process, Karyn was there to take our calls, to strategize with us, to comfort us, and to help us understand the often unfair and unjust nature of family court with wisdom and empathy. When my ex hired a ghoul of an attorney who fit every bad lawyer stereotype, Karyn was there to do battle with him, a petite yet powerful woman standing toe-to-toe with one of those men who obviously don’t think women should practice law. We hadn’t hired an attorney after all. We had hired a warrior.
Karyn knows the law, and she knows how to exploit the hubris of aging, know-it-all lawyers.
We absolutely cannot recommend Attorney Washington enough.
In a world full of “Karens” hire a Karyn.
Hire *this* Karyn.

I really appreciate Laurie Malone for all she’s done with me for my divorce. This was a roller coaster neither of us expected but she stayed tenacious and got it done. If I had to do it all over again I’d definitely hire her all over again. Truly grateful for the work and effort she put in this.

James has always been very responsive, practical and realistic. He has taken the time to work through my case and has been very upfront. He's able to put all the legalese aside and has explained things in concise easy to understand terms. Our case has been going for over a year and at no point did I feel like he was not fully involved. I would recommend him to anyone seeking counsel in any type of domestic litigation.

Jonathan Bartell is a great professional immigration attorney. He is extremely smart, thorough, and tough when doing his due diligence in order to successfully win your case. His demanding mannerisms can be misconstrued as arrogant and insensitive, however, from my legal experiences, these are not negative traits but characteristics of a successful attorney working hard on your case. My sister was facing deportation for several years arising from an extremely complicated immigration issue. She found Jonathan's name on their company website while she was looking for experienced and successful immigration attorneys. She spoke at length with him about her immigration issue and he vowed that he could help her based on his legal expertise in immigration and deportation law. She placed her faith and trust in him and he devoted his time and worked extremely hard on her case. Today, Jonathan successfully and miraculously won my sister's case to remain in this country legally thereby removing the impending deportation proceedings against her. Our entire family are especially grateful beyond words to Jonathan and we cannot thank him enough for his hard fought efforts to keep our sister with her family in this great country of ours. He is a super amazing attorney! We give him more than 5 stars! I highly recommend him to help you with your most complex immigration issues.

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional legal representation provided by Ann during one of the darkest periods of my life. She navigated me through a challenging custody case for my children and a daunting bankruptcy with unwavering professionalism and compassion.
From our first meeting, it was clear that she genuinely cared about my situation. She took the time to listen attentively to my concerns and patiently answered all of my questions, alleviating my anxieties along the way.
Her reliability was unmatched, she was always prompt in responding to emails and calls, ensuring that I felt supported and informed throughout the entire legal process.
Thanks to her expertise and dedication, we achieved a favorable outcome in both cases, giving me a fresh start and securing the best interests of my children. I cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate attorney who truly goes above and beyond for her clients.

I did not have a good experience with this law firm. During the initial consultation, I was told they could pursue one particular avenue that would be very advantageous to me.
After this conversation, I signed the paperwork and was assigned two attorneys (I did not realize I would be paying two people to do one job). They would hold regular "meetings" and bill me for their time. The notes of these meetings were very vague and did not explain specifically what they discussed and the direction they planned to take.
When I asked about the frequency and the lack of detail pertaining to what they discussed and/or their upcoming strategy, I was told that these meetings were a little more frequent than most and the lack of clarity/detail was how they did things. I go the impression that they didn't want to be questioned and that I should just let them do their job.
After questioning them directly about two particular items, I was told by both attorneys that they couldn't pursue either one. The issue I had was that each of their "meeting" summaries had both of these topics listed. I didn't understand why they kept making this a topic of conversation and charging me when I was told nothing could be done about them.
In the end, I paid over $6k and the only change that occurred happened when they requested the court review some payments (which were never in question) and they found a mistake that ended with me paying more out of pocket.
It's my opinion that they didn't have anything to work with on my case from the initial consultation but took it anyway. Then they proceeded to hold meetings and continue to bill me to meet their billable hour quotas. There was no accountability and I was basically writing a blank check.

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.
