Stephen Fieweger is amazing! He won my case in less than 2 months. My old lawyer took 2 years. He was so easy to work with. I am eternally grateful to have such a great person on my side. He always returned calls and answered any questions. He worked very hard on my case and knew exactly what he was doing.

Mr. Fieweger was highly recommended to me. I was not disappointed. He was well versed, communicated effectively, and was able to resolve my issue fairly. His charming and quirky secretary's warmth and kindness will not soon be forgotten. I hope to never need another lawyer, but if I do I will definitely choose him again.

I would put zero stars if it would let me. but mmm where do i start? definitely NOT a place I would recommend to anyone. she was uncompassionate, rude & snotty to me. didn’t wanna believe what I had to say about MY situation that I WAS IN. because she works for the dude that supposedly “served me”. witch is a complete lie. so i’m just saying if you think about going, i wouldn’t. no point in having a lawyer that’s supposed to be on your side not even believe what you have to say when your literally telling the truth & have proof to back it all up.

Tim has been my families attorney since 1990. He handled my divorce and my sisters. Both of us got almost everything we asked for and more. He was able to prove wrongful misconduct, abuse, and neglect. Then years down the road when son was injured then again when he got in trouble, he was able to represent him and did it very well. I have used Tim for my attorney at least 5-6 times since 1990, and I have never been let down.

I was a client of Duffy's. I received horrible advice, he did not write up anything on my behalf my wife's attorney had to draft all documents. I was unable to see my children for 12 weeks.
My wife's attorney assured her he was lazy would do the absolute minimum and unfortunately he was correct.
Duffy also refused to listen, and rudely interrupted every time I tried to explain anything, he was very unprofessional and he absolutely had no empathy and showed zero care for my situation, the only concern he had was for his unearned bill.

05 Aug, 2014 by Research your lawyer before hiring
Cami is never prepared for court always filing continuances for lack of preparedness. She failed on 3 separate occasions to get papers in on time causing my case to be prolonged. She called me to tell me she was about to file my papers then 2 days later I asked on an update and she again said she was just about to file them. When asked what happened to filing them 2 days ago all she said was she forgot to do it. She filed my paperwork in the wrong judicial branch causing a delay. She was fined by the Supreme Court for not having certain material turned in by the court ordered date. She was almost 2 months late filing it so they fined her which she told me nothing about it I received a letter from the court telling me. She was adamant that my case was in my favor and that the other party didn't have a leg to stand on. In the end it cost me thousands of dollars, delayed for more months than it should have taken due to her irresponsible behavior, and the outcome was nothing like she claimed it would be. I'm not upset about the outcome because in the end I ended up getting what I went to court for because of the other persons ignorance 5 days after the courts decision was made not credit whatsoever to Cami. I have since researched her And found 2 other reprimands from the Iowa bar assoc. She was constantly telling me how she wasn't sure on how something worked and had to research it. Her office staff seems to know more than her.

I really wish I read the reviews before hiring him. The final straw was the way he talked to me. He is a very rude man. He blew through my retainer and started we weren't even close to being done. When I asked about it, he stated it will only cost more if I keep asking questions. I fired him and now I hope someone reads this and talks to other lawyers before hiring him.

All he wanted was money, money, money... I was giving him my whole checks...I got behind one payment and he used it to drop my case, then had the nerve to try and suit me but it was thrown out. He will take your money!! And do nothing for you! I wish I would have read the reviews on him..

I am very impressed by how quickly Eric and his team were able to review all of the documents and information regarding my situation (I must add that my situation is very complex and unique) and within days he was on the same page as I completely understood the issues. Within a week Eric took action in my case and has been fighting in my defense ever since. Eric is on top of things, responds in a timely manner, is always very professional, his staff is always friendly when interacting with me, and most importantly he has remained loyal to me. It is hard to find a lawyer that works for you and stays loyal to you. I have hired several different lawyers for my situation and either they want to take the easy way out by taking shortcuts, or they would to talk me into doing things I don't want to do, or doing things I didn't know about just to avoid the extra energy it took to satisfy my wishes during my case and Eric is the first attorney out of them all that I am completely satisfied with. So satisfied that I hired him for another case that I am currently dealing with, he is currently working on 3 cases of mine and I couldn't be more relieved. Eric is very intelligent, and firm when handling matters involving my cases. Eric respects my requests and is always honest and direct when providing me with answers or information regarding my case. Eric's services are not cheap, but it's money well spent and well deserved. Once hired, Eric completed more progress on my case in less than a week, than any other attorney has the entire time (almost a year).

I wish there was a choice for 0 stars. She is the most unprofessional and nasty excuse for a human being out there. She has no interest in her clients and has yet to contact her current client. He needs serious help, but all she does is bash and get nasty with you when you try the best for your child. She is the first to tell you that you are a horrible parent when she doesn’t even know you! I can’t stress enough do not have her as your child’s lawyer! She must have got her degree from a Cracker Jack box. Wrong profession for her!

I spent time filling out my online statement being as specific as possible foolishly expecting someone might actually read my comments and get back to me. When no return telephone call after several days I called the office and was told she has been very busy and will give me a call later. Patiently waiting I called back a day or so later just trying to verify my email was received since I only had so many days to answer a summons and file a reply. The person answering the phone after some conversation told me they were not taking on any new clients at this time. Very, very unimpressed with this office!! Never had an opportunity to consult!

At first was aggressive with case after collecting Huge upfront costs. Became less agressive and interested in case. I feel she was squeezing us for every penny she could get and included another lawyer Michele Lewon in on her money grab. We told her we couldn't afford her fees with no results any more and she sent a a request to the judge to be released from our case stating irreconcilable difference when we already told her we were not continuing our service with her.

Explained that we had a pretty clear cut case in the beginning.
Then half way through said we might not win. Then I stated we need to be more aggressive with our case because we are losing. I asked if she would be willing to do that and she resigned from my case.

Spoke with Bryan for a consultation. I told him about my case and he asked for some documentation and he would not be able to look at it for a few weeks. He didn’t offer any advice or even comment on my case. Then I made the mistake of telling him that I am talking to other attorneys and then he snapped. His demeanor completely changed. He told me to not send him anything, he doesn’t want to be involved if I’m talking to other attorneys, his time is so precious that I would be wasting his time, he doesn’t need to beg for my business and he’s so busy he wouldn’t have any time to take on more cases anyways, etc. Then I said that another attorney told me to talk to as many attorneys as possible and Bryan replies, “yes you should, but not me”. Make sure you DO NOT say you are talking to other attorneys because if you have a consult with Bryan apparently that means that you are basically hiring him without him even looking at your case. I would be very cautious with him because I assume he would charge you for every second of his “precious” time.

Court dates continually rescheduled. Took over 18 months before we saw the inside of a court house for divorce and custody hearing. Deck seemed sympathetic and intested but when it came to taking any kind of action he did little to nothing or was not prepared! Attorneys like this will continue to take your money, blow smoke up your rear and leave you discouraged in the system as long as people do not make complaints or report the attorneys poor representation!

The only time he pays attention to you is right before you have court. During any court proceedings he ignores anything you wish to bring up and acts like you haven’t said anything. He is a yes man for the other side. He does not follow through even if he tells you he will. He must be over loaded with cases because he seems to not have time to actually care about your case. He has no business practicing in family law. And it may just be time for him to hang it up.

From day one it seemed like all this attorney was worried about was her compensation $$. The case that we hired her for was supposed to be a "simple" case according to her, but when the process took too long and we saw no further developments. We attempted to reach out to her only to get a negative response back. On top of that she made sure that any Text, Email, or Call we made to her was charged per minute! no matter how simple the question was or even if we wanted to know updates on the immigration case. Also, she was never prepared during our hearings in front of the immigration judge there were times that the judge would ask her for certain documents and she would come up with a reason as to why she did not have that document even though she had plenty of time to prepare. Needless to say the verdict was not in our favor and our family member was sentenced to deportation.

He is the absolute WORST attorney I have ever had the displeasure of working with. I used him for a divorce when he worked in Fort Dodge. He rarely called back, he did not communicate well, causing me to spend hundreds on unnecessary plane fare, and he did not advocate for me in court. I just sat there and watched the other side get everything offered to them and he made zero objections. He failed to file my "children in the middle" course with the courts. I live out of state and he refused to put together a parenting plan that was functional for me as far as visitation and travel. He said he had never heard of such a thing. I paid my ex-wife for her part of the home that I owned on my own BEFORE marrying her because Jon Beaty said I had to and then he did not give me the receipt, even when I went to his office and requested it. I made a bar complaint and had to hire another attorney to fix what he didn't do. He was uninformed and allowed my former wife to sell joint property even when I told him it would happen. I would NEVER EVER use this attorney for anything!

I have not hire Ms. Goosmann but hired her firm to represent me and had the worst experience ever. Please note that with my 40 years of experience in Higher Education I have worked with many law firms and am capable of assessing one. The firm is totally ineffective and has a revolving door. During one year plus time I have had at least four different attorneys working on my case , one left another took over and the process keeps getting repeated four time, two were competent attorneys, the other two were awful. One of those two ineffective attorneys who has waisted my money and time was Mr. Jeffrey T. Myers. In addition, every time a new attorney was assigned to my case I had to pay for their time to read and catch up. As a result I lost a substantial sum of money. I absolutely would not recommend this firm and certainly not Jeffrey Myers.

Four years ago I hired ms. Vesey for my divorce case which involved an order of protection against my ex. I was encouraged by ms. Vesey to drop the order and put it in the divorce decree instead which I found out later was very bad legal advice because instead of a criminal offense by my ex it became a civil offense and now I have to find a competent attorney to try to get full custody of my disabled son who is still being abused by my ex.

Hired Jeff for two separate issues. He cashed the checks for retainer fees and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!
To speak with him regarding the jobs he was hired to do I had to 'pop' into the office unannounced because he failed to return calls, failed to file originating paperwork, failed to respond to most emails and absolutely failed to represent on either issue. The responses I did receive via email were false promises of job performance that he repeatedly didn't do.
DO NOT RECOMMEND! It is my belief that Jeff Smith is a THIEF/CROOK/SCAM and should not be allowed to call himself a professional nor an attorney.

So I had this gentleman as my court appointed attorney in Marion County Iowa which is Knoxville for an OWI that I had gotten in Pleasantville Iowa so many things about the stop didn't seem right but Mr EinWalter wasn't really interested in doing his job looking at the facts the real fact of the matter is that the gentleman that pulled me over I requested a blood test and I was granted the blood test and everything but it took him over 3 hours to get the blood test which my lawyer didn't know Mr EinWalter he didn't know that after a certain amount of time they can't take a blood test anymore which is why they actually dropped the charges to my case and not why he thinks they did I had to literally force him to go talk to the district attorney to get the case dropped because of other extenuating factors about this officer so if you see this man come up and for public defender to represent you request for another attorney cuz this man is by far hands down the worst attorney I've ever seen in my life frankly I'm not sure how he has a license to practice law.

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.
