Simple divorce ended up costing wayyyy more than quoted. Charges $21.50 everytime I had to asked what was going on with my case. Communication was not good. Frustrating experience. Never returns phone calls. $20 consultation fee is extremely petty. Would not recommend.

Michael Tuszinsky did NOT fight for my son. He didn’t listen to me, there were several things he could’ve done that he didn’t. And several things he did which backfired. He doesn’t answer my emails. I was disappointed sorely for the amount of money he received from my son. I’m still waiting on an email again to hear from him, but no such luck. Hence this review.

He was able to wrap things up quickly and always keeping me informed. Jonathan cares and takes the time to help you. The staff was very helpful as well. I was very grateful for everything they did. Oh and if it matters he won the case too.

Giving Jane 2 stars as she has the potential to be a good lawyer however when she represented me in 2022 as a Keffer-Hirschauer attorney I was disappointed on many occasions . Jane completed a lot of work last minute, which might have been the result of Keffer-Hirschauer overloading their attorneys with too many cases. Regarding spousal maintenance, Jane wasted months before asking the court for a hearing on spousal maintenance, and Jane did not follow through with the request once filed. Jane recommended signing certain financial agreements without communicating the possibility that future hearing dates may be rescheduled or extended, which lead to me being left without funding for many months. Lastly, a few weeks before a scheduled mediation and final hearing date Jane was either fired from Keffer-Hirschauer or left Keffer-Hirschauer on her own, (I have not been given a reason for her departure from either side) which then extended my mediation and final hearing, left me in a desperate financial situation and resulted in an exorbitant amount of legal fee's as I had to start over with a new lawyer.

This review brings me absolutely no joy to write and isn’t done in malice by any means. I waited quite a few weeks to contemplate how I should formulate this review as I try not to act on emotions. Ultimately, I came to the conclusion that it had to be written as I needed to warn others that our considering hiring Rebecca Eimerman. Again this isn’t in malice it is simply a factual over view of how poorly she represented me. First, let me describe the intake call. She assured me on the initial call that she would be willing to litigate my family law case in regards to modifying custody and child support. She indicated that she had handled complex cases such as mine in the past, and that she understood the complexities of my income and work structure that would help facilitate a more favorable outcome. While she never promised any outcome in my case as lawyers always refuse to for ethical reasons she did indicate she was willing to fight against opposing counsel. I proceeded to hire her based on these initial statements she made to me on that intake call. After that it took many months almost 9 to be exact to get my case ready to litigate in court. She spared no expense preparing the case during which time I in incurred well north of $2000 invoices a month. In the end only 11 weeks before we were set to litigate she withdrew her appearance on the case with no notice. She indicated her withdrawal from my case was due to me being untruthful. That couldn’t have been further from the truth. I was forth coming and honest about everything that was requested of me in the case. Furthermore, I felt the dishonesty claim to be a personal attack on my character, and a low blow given the fact this was never addressed to me until she withdrew counsel. Please for your sake consider other counsel then Rebecca for your family law needs.

Terrible law firm. I've called them twice. I have left a message. I left all the information they require in order for a call back and still I've heard nothing. There's nothing worse than waiting on a law firm to call you back to possibly help you and getting no response. I suggest you go to another law firm if you're looking for good representation or at least 1 will answer the phone and return phone calls.

I had Jon Rodgers as an appointed GAL just this year. He is not reachable and billing showed that he took multiple calls from the other party. My lawyer couldn't get through to him either. The entire process felt as if it was just a file that laid on his desk and the father was already going to take the hit. The report was filled with more accusations from the other party than professional input and painted a blatant bias against me. Notably, the report was made without Jon ever stepping out of his office to conduct a proper/honest investigation. None of my contacts were reached out to to discuss outside point of views regarding our case. I will admit that I didn't make a payment at the end in hopes that I could speak to Jon, but all attempts were a failure. After that a payment was made to end that cycle and even after; Jon would not speak to me to discuss a new GAL report and was honestly extremely rude. If you're a father looking to get an honest GAL report done that will show your potential, I would steer very far in the opposite direction from Jon Rodgers. I would give no star but it isn't an option.

I highly recommend Jon Rogers for anyone in need of a family lawyer. He has handled my case with the utmost professionalism, compassion, and expertise. From the very first consultation, Jon took the time to understand my situation and provide clear, concise guidance on the legal options available. Throughout this process, he has been responsive, keeping me informed and ensuring that I have felt supported every step of the way. What has stood out most is Jon’s deep knowledge of family law and his strategic approach to resolving complex issues. He’s demonstrated a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for my child and me, going above and beyond to protect our interests. Thanks to Jon’s hard work and dedication, I am able to navigate a challenging legal process with confidence and peace of mind. If you are looking for a skilled, caring, honest, and effective family lawyer, I cannot recommend Jon highly enough. Karagan

Not educated about the law. Chris Gambill is a personal injury attorney but charges $100 to prepare simple wills. Was told by Gambill that I couldn’t be my uncle’s sole power of attorney since I don’t live in the same state as my uncle. Multiple estate planning attorneys licensed in both Indiana and Illinois said this is not true and that I could be both my uncles power of attorney and healthcare representative while living in Illinois. In addition, Gambill said 50% of my uncles MUST go to his wife (my aunt) who has Parkinson’s disease. The same attorneys in consulted after him said this is not true, and suggested workarounds for this. Chris is just limited in his field of knowledge. His receptionist is quite daft too. Every time you end a call with her and say “thank you”, she yells out a big “uh huh” and hangs up. She says that everyday in a such a condescending Karen-like voice. There were also multiple times I called asking her to relay a message to Chris when he was not available and Chris never called me back. Perhaps the message was never delivered. Either way, consulting Chris Gambill was such a waste of both my Uncles and my time. If you have the option to, look elsewhere. You’ll be treated with far more dignity, compassion, and most importantly, given more accurate information pertaining to the law by pretty much every other attorney in the state of Indiana.

Lauren Harpold, it's not often I have spoke to an attorney that is this knowledgeable and has morals. Lauren in my opinion is very honest and trustworthy. I had a consultation with her and I wanted to hire her but she advised me why I shouldn't at this point. Other attorneys I've met would have just said sign here and here is your invoice. She thankfully is not like that at all. She has given me some faith back in attorneys. If you want a good honest and affordable attorney then just stop looking, you found her. She didn't sugar coat things but she was also not cruel. Just very honest and that rarely happens. Thank you Lauren.

This was after Mason requested to attend the NBA National Convention in Las Vegas. The firm approved Mason's work and school schedule, then went on to terminate him for the same scenario that was approved. A civil suit will be filed against CCHA for wrongful termination.

Mr. Bruce Bitner incorrectly filed my father's taxes in 2022 after he sold his local Noblesville business after 40 years. My hard working father hired Mr. Bitner to file his taxes, and he reported my dad's business proceeds as capitol gains, thus costing my father thousands of dollars in taxes and hours of his own time getting he and my mom's back pay from social security. When my dad called him out on his error, he insisted he filed it correctly. My dad hired a local accountant for $300 who refiled it CORRECTLY and he got the thousands of dollars owed him in overpaid taxes from both federal and state government. Money he never would have received had be not been more knowledgeable then the attorney he hired. But my father still had to spend hours of his own time getting their social security benefits back to what they were supposed to be due to this gross error. My mother and father got thousands refunded from both the federal and state governments as a result of Mr. Bitner's incompetence and refusal to acknowledge that he made a costly error. My dad has the records (and refunds) to prove it. When he told Mr. Bitner that the local accountant filed it correctly and he got refunds, Mr. Bitner said, "well I could have done that." Good Lord. Does his arrogance know no bounds? He wouldn't even acknowledge to my father that he made a gross error in the first place. When my dad asked for his fees paid to Mr. Bitner to be refunded (plus interest), Brucey actually said, "didn't the government pay you interest?" Degrees do not make people smart, competent nor compassionate. Mr. Bitner now refuses to talk to my father or return repeated phone calls. It's been months. My dad has lost the enjoyment of the almost $3000 they charged him plus all my dad's time and loss of enjoyment of the money he earned by changing tires and towing vehicles for 40 years. My dad and mom are known to many locally in Noblesville as generous, kind, hard-working people. It breaks my heart to see them treated with such disregard by those that are in a position to do financial harm. They both grew up extremely poor and clawed their way to success. My dad retired as a truck driver at 50 years old and bought a Shell franchise. He ran it as Shell gas and service station and later McMillan's Towing and Auto Care. He didn't retire until he was 85 years old. He is now 88. A proud army veteran. And smarter than Mr. Bitner, because if it weren't for him knowing the difference, my mom and dad would be out thousands of dollars and none the wiser. He and my mom have been married for 65 years. It breaks my heart to hear that a local attorney is treating my father this way. My dad had to spend hours on the phone to get his social security benefits restored after Mr. Bitner's incompetence. Please think again before hiring Mr. Bitner or those who think he's worthy of a partnership. God bless people like my parents: honest, hard working, people who treated their hundreds of customers over the years honestly and fairly. I know this rambles a bit, but anyone reading this knows the love a daughter has for her parents. Sincerely, Debbie McMillan Mason

Mason Archie, II served as a 2024 Summer Associate and was wrongfully terminated. The firm has been in existence for over 150 years and attempted to make their first Native American/Black/Latino hire. Their reasoning was that Mason needs "help". This was after Mason requested to attend the NBA National Convention in Las Vegas. The firm approved Mason's work and school schedule, then went on to terminate him for the same scenario that was approved. A civil suit will be filed against CCHA for wrongful termination.

Mr. Bruce Bitner incorrectly filed my father's taxes in 2022 after he sold his local Noblesville business after 40 years. My hard working father hired Mr. Bitner to file his taxes, and he reported my dad's business proceeds as capitol gains, thus costing my father thousands of dollars in taxes and hours of his own time getting he and my mom's back pay from social security. When my dad called him out on his error, he insisted he filed it correctly. My dad hired a local accountant for $300 who refiled it CORRECTLY and he got the thousands of dollars owed him in overpaid taxes from both federal and state government. Money he never would have received had be not been more knowledgeable then the attorney he hired.

Update 9/2024 - I'm increasing my review to 5 stars. It did take them about 7 months to contact me, which was frustrating. (I know they must have an insanely high case load and are running low on staff...so I do get that.) Ultimately they followed through and when I met with an attorney I was treated with the upmost kindness and respect. That meant everything to me. Truly, thank you so so much! Update 8/2024 - I did hear back from them so I am deeply grateful for that. I'm increasing my stars based upon the fact that they did follow through. I will increase my stars further once paperwork is filed. I totally empathize with how inundated they must be - I just wish communication was better during the process. They sent me a letter in January 2024 stating they would take my case. I turned in everything they asked of me. It's now July 2024, and I still haven't heard anything back despite 20+ calls to them. They have not returned a single phone call of mine in 6 months. Not one. I'm happy to increase my stars if I ever hear back from them and they actually do what they said they would do.

I am beyond grateful for the exceptional legal services provided by the Lawyer Office of Sola Egunyomi in facilitating the approval of my wife’s change of status. From the very first consultation, Attorney Egunyomi exhibited a level of professionalism and expertise that immediately put me at ease. What truly stood out was his attention to detail. He took the time to thoroughly understand our case, ensuring that every form was meticulously filled out, and every document was in order. He did not overlook even the smallest detail, which played a crucial role in the success of our application. Throughout the process, Attorney Egunyomi maintained clear and open communication. He explained complex legal concepts in a way that was easy to understand, alleviating the stress and confusion that often comes with such daunting cases. His ability to articulate the nuances of our case, combined with his calm demeanor and reassurances, was invaluable. Though we initially got a RFE, his courteous approach made us feel comfortable and confident that our case was in the right hands. Attorney Egunyomi’s commitment to securing the approval for my wife’s change of status was evident, and I am truly thankful for his tireless efforts in ensuring everything went smoothly. Thanks to his dedication, we received approval, and I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to handle such a critical matter. I highly recommend Attorney Egunyomi to anyone in need of a reliable, professional, and compassionate legal assistance. He is way better than the best?

If you are looking for a diligent, responsive, trustworthy attorney, look no further than Christine Stolle. I am very satisfied with how Christine worked toward a fair resolution and successfully litigated issues I had concerning a divorce settlement. Christine was very thorough while working my case and kept me well informed. I felt very comfortable having such a zealous advocate with me in court. I would hire Christine again, no questions asked.

Christine was very efficient for me. My ex did everything he could to make things difficult but she was somehow able to get him to come to the final result that I was happy with. She was truthful with me-both positive and negative (when I needed it). She promptly (quicker than I expected) responded to my questions and issues about the divorce and helped me through this difficult time. When I worked with her face to face I was absolutely amazed at how quickly she was able to work and figure things out. Our financial situation was complicated and she sure knew how to work those numbers and FAST. My money was well spent and I have even had to hire her again a few months ago because my ex was in contempt of court. She is absolutely fabulous. I would hire her again. I first hired her in January of 2010.

Terrible law firm. I've called them twice. I have left a message. I left all the information they require in order for a call back and still I've heard nothing. There's nothing worse than waiting on a law firm to call you back to possibly help you and getting no response. I suggest you go to another law firm if you're looking for good representation or at least 1 will answer the phone and return phone calls.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
